Thing is, I don’t think he was exaggerating when he said he was driving it as hard as he could. It honestly looked like he was at 11/10's in that commercial.

I had to scan them first myself. I can’t believe it took this long.

It’s a good thing you kept this confined to the second gen, otherwise Sir Jackie would have had a bone to pick with you...

As an update, I just read this news article with info about the preliminary coroner’s report.

I know 64 isn’t all that old, both this was the first thought that came to mind...

I couldn’t even begin to imagine the smell you had to have faced. I have a first gen Forester that a buddy’s ex-wife threw-up in on the way home from the bar years ago. She got it in the seat belt mechanism, under the rear seat and in the driver’s seat back. If it wasn’t a dog car that usually smells faintly like two…

Hey, at least he can say he tried absolutely everything to save it...

I was just joking... I have a buddy who daily drives cars in better than showroom condition. Somehow this is still done with an 18 month old.

Dare I say it, but the kid in #4 sounds quite considerate all things considered...

You win! I’m currently in tears from laughing at this while reading it out loud to my office where everyone wanted to know what I was laughing about.

What the?! Who?! Why would?! That just, I can’t even...

You and me both... Ours is due in August.

You have just described the vehicular equivalent of sasquatch. There are legends, questionable photographs and possible sightings but one has never actually been confirmed...

I think they meant, other than everything about being a PT Cruiser, it was a nice car...

I wasn’t just referring to McLaren (you’re right, they definitely weren’t trending in the right direction since 2011), I meant the “halcyon days” of McLaren-Honda during the Prost/Senna era. I think a lot of people (Alonso included) over-looked the relative futility of the Honda F1 program of the 2000's. I’m guessing…

I could see Alonso seeing the last few iterations of the Ferrari being what it was (sub-par to be polite) and allowing himself to be lured by the prestige of a building a resurgent McLaren-Honda. This makes sense if you know the next couple years will be a write-off either way and RBR and Merc both having stable…

Speaking of which, Costa Rican not Puerto Rican what are you even doing here?! -just kidding, seriously. Please don’t flame me into oblivion...

“I’m a Mclaren guy, but I also love Sauber.”

For the record, I don’t wish Alonso any ill will. It’s just a satirical observation on his luck with career decisions...

I’m going to go out on a limb here and make a 2-part prediction.
