I managed to sneak in & around the Ferrari F1 Clienti Garage at the Monterey Historics in 2004 (Ferrari was the featured marque that year). It certainly was interesting how those somewhat-recent vintage F1 cars (1990's - early 2000's) were being maintained by the factory. They’re too high-tech for private owners to…

I was wondering if somebody would link to this sketch, and I was not disappointed. Classic Python!
Fun fact about Dan Gurney:
Given his issues with touching & physical boundaries around women, I suspect Joe Biden may have accusers from years ago come forward at some point. Tavis Smiley and Charlie Rose didn’t surprise me at all.
If I could give you a thousand stars, I would. It reminds me of those “reach out and touch someone” ads the Bell System ran decades ago. Way too much touchy-feely implication for routine workplace communication.
Now I know where those old “Chevron with Techron” commercials got their inspiration.
Correction - His first name is William (Bill), not Jim.
Jim McGurn is one of my prime hate-read columnists on the WSJ editorial page. All the predictable stereotypical conservative Catholic opinions rolled into one: Abortion is ruining America, Democrat policies are destroying the family, premarital sex and promiscuity are the blame for all social ills, etc. But - it’s…
The reduced schedule is a bad sign, but Endurance Racing has always had problems with widely varying levels of manufacturer support at the top level, things like this have happened several times going back over the decades.
I was thinking the same thing. And given all the flak that Laguna Seca is getting these days with noise / environmental complaints from local residents, it’s hard to see another track opening so close by.
I was wondering too. He’s a robotics expert, here’s the Forbes page mentioned in the posting:
It’s too bad German car companies can’t collude on making a reliable electrical system, or fuel pump relay, or O2 sensor, or....
In “My Years with Ferrari”, Niki Lauda talks about how all his trophies are useless, except for one: the USGP at Watkins Glen awarded him a big silver Revere Bowl that he used as a dog dish.
Agreed!
Chris Rock put it succinctly: “Men are only as faithful as their options.”
When did “Good Morning Britain” start ? I remember being in London on a tourist trip in the summer of 1983, and it seemed like an obvious imitation of “Good Morning America” and other American morning shows (one male and one female host, living-room like set, weather, pop-culture news and guests & entertainers for…
The greenhouse looks suspiciously like it’s from a mid-1970's GM intermediate coupe.
I just checked local inventory - All the examples of the Chevy Cruze have VIN numbers that start with the number “3" = They are all MADE IN MEXICO! Will the border wall keep them out?
I didn’t retain much of my high-school Russian, but I retained enough to see that Trump’s name on that Russian translation of his book is actually transliterated as “TRAMP” in the Cyrillic alphabet. Oh, the irony!
