1. Three pedals (accelerator, brake clutch, NOT parking brake pedal)-Already mentioned by several others

Drive eastward for three hours from Bethel, NY (1969 Woodstock site), and you’ll be somewhere in Rhode Island. Watkins Glen is about 3 hours west of where the original Woodstock took place.

This lady would find  him attractive:

This reminds me of the time there was an argument on a computer game message board I frequented and a German member posted “Get a live.”

Manual only on Grand Touring in US? Plausible, I suppose. They probably only want to pay to certify it with one engine, and it won’t be one with AWD.

It’s not a C-pillar, it’s a C-D-E-F-pillar!

Visually, it looks way too tail-heavy with that C-pillar.

Holy crap, I can remember having one of the original copies of this paper pinto in 1970, when I was in grammar school.

The on-track record of these cars wasn’t all that great. They won a couple of regional SCCA events in Maryland and Alabama, but put in poor results at FIA Championship races at Daytona, LeMans, Sebring and Watkins Glen. The team scored only one 3rd place finish at the Glen 6 Hours, and DNF’s elsewhere.

No, the Lola T70 was introduced in 1966-67, while the Howmet turbine car was on the drawing board.

He was trying to kiss her on the mouth, and she turned her face away in revulsion.

Hey, the driver may have broken traffic laws, but he didn’t break the law of gravity.

What a coincidence!  I have less than $10 Million to my name too!

That is not true, my researchgate account is linked to an ordinary gmail account. The main issue is that not all publications have pdf’s posted on researchgate. My experience is that researchgate generally makes it easier to manage and curate a publication list than google scholar.

There are some interesting driver memoirs published recently:

NYC-exurbs resident/ cablevision subscriber here. Yeah, I was puzzled that neither ABC nor ESPN carried it. However, Univision (Ch.6 on my cable service, right next to Ch.7 ABC) carried it live with Spanish-language commentary. I don’t habla espanol, but I was able to follow everything going on.

I’m American, but a colleague of mine is a British expatriate who said her mother failed her driving test in the UK for not using a handbrake from a standing start.

I would probably phrase it as “2% of the purchase price”, or, “move the decimal point two places to the left and multiply by 2.”

A box cutter, mostly to open frozen-food packages. And yes, I know that scissors would be safer.
