I never could quite pinpoint it, but you nailed it.  Hamilton does give of a disturbingly Will.I.am vibe.

Was this the updated article, or the original?  Because if this is true then the triple-layered irony here is just too delicious.

Or, from another perspective, it’s a good thing.  Now you might be able to find someone to laugh at Ferrari with you every Monday.

Maybe if it hit the paddock on an F2/F3 weekend?  Eliminate all the existing drivers, leaving the teams to scramble for new ones, maybe a few young women get picked up?

This, coupled with an Italian speaking English as his second language and you end up with “girls”.

It sounded like he was talking about getting women into driving younger (i.e. girls) so they have the same amount of development time as most boys who come into F1. Most start karting before they’re 10, which I’m guessing is the age where a lot of girls start to drop out due to other interests or other stress factors…

Multiple takeovers shut down before they started, a bunch of idiots arrested, and they even nabbed a guy wanted for murder?

“But we believe that to be able to give the chance to girls to be at the same level of competition with the guys,”

Define “excessive”.

I have no problem with progressive taxes. What I have a problem with is the disdain the writers here have for anyone who has what they decide is “excessive” wealth. Around here it seems having more money than they decide is acceptable means you’re automatically a horrible human being and they can make fun of you…

His point still stands.  You could easily put the NFC device in a simple wristband, or (crazy thought here), a watch, and have the same benefit a lot easier.  Then again, that doesn’t properly show your dedication to Lord Musk.

In the eyes of some, it seems anyone who can afford more than you is automatically bad.  I’m not sure where the line of “acceptably wealthy” is, but it seems to be some small multiple of one’s own income.

I miss it too, but it’s been this way for at least 5 years so I think we can give up any hope of it coming back.  I come here far less often, and rarely actually end up clicking on anything anymore.

Welcome to Jalopnik. They haven’t yet realized that without all of these rich people they hate, the fun cars they cover wouldn’t exist. They’d be reviewing Corollas and Rogues all day. Maybe the occasional Acura depending on just how far their “fairness” policies would go.

So the plot to The Dilemma has come true. Same car and everything. Life imitates... well, not art, exactly.

I’m not sure you can do anything in Vegas for $100.

The worse sounding engine I think I’ve ever heard is a Genesis Coupe V6 with no mufflers. I’ve heard a couple of them (it seems they’re in a fight with VQ boys over who can sound the worst), and it’s ear-splitting in the worst way imaginable. Just one example here:

My wife is more of a “sudden gasp” kind of distraction.  Invariably caused by something she just saw on her phone rather than on the road.

I never said there wasn’t a need for it. What I meant is that there should not be a need for it. Clearly the guy was living fast and loose and didn’t take care of things like he should have, and now his family has to beg for money from strangers.

Neither of my cars have this function (both from 2005), but I discovered it quite a few years ago on a rental car when I changed my mind about a turn and the blinker went off 3 times anyway. I think it was a Ford.
