He was also a decent car salesman... he supervised distribution for Lola in the US. I give him credit for following the Cart/Champ car vision to the very end, and sticking to his guns all those years. Mario, Nigel, Seabass, Junky, Shorty, Hinch... he always had athe least one good shoe in his cars.

RIP Carl, you were one of the motorsport icons. I loved watching you and Penske and some kid named Ganassi duke it out at Indy. Thanks for showcasing us Mario and Michael Andretti, Nigel Mansel and the rest. We’ve missed you these last few years but it just wasn’t the same after Paul died, was it. Go fire up a stogie…

The man that birthed PayPal and ugly cars probably doesn’t have the taste or good sense not to start ferociously gnawing on his foot with his four-and-a-half million follower Twitter bullhorn.

Elon needs a vacation.

Whether he’s right or wrong... It’s got to be increasingly concerning as this goes on that he’s not exactly stable.

The EU as a political entity is doomed. No sense blaming the people getting off early.

1st Gear:

Imploded their economy? Where the fuck do you come up with this bullshit?

In short, British people have screwed themselves up so badly that they now will all have less money, which means less money to spend on cars, which includes American cars.

I smell a conspiracy too.

How long until Elon is jarring his urine, and wearing tissue boxes on his feet?

Auto Co-pilot?

i have a pretty good feeling that this kinda stuff is going to keep happening and i’m already getting tired of seeing it in the jalopnik feed. maybe we can get a sub-blog for when idiots crash their not-quite self driving car because they think we’re zooming around in goddamn 2056

Jeez, do you not have a semi-current picture of the guy?

The hosts aren’t really the problem, it’s the writers that need to be replaced. The script is so forced that I don’t think there’s one host on the planet that could make it sound natural. It’s also why Chris Harris does so well on the show. I’m pretty sure that his in-car is just him and the thoughts in his head -…
