Can we talk about how the gold bowtie looks cheap?

Scuderia means ‘stables’ in Italian. Italian racing teams use it like ‘team’ or ‘garage.’ Scuderia Ferrari is the most famous example, but there are a million others. Scuderia Glickenhaus is basically Glickenhaus Stables.

Everybody here is pointing out that the NRA stopped the CDC’s research. Am I the only one here that gets that you knew that? Just because he’s taking this with a grain of salt (we all should), doesn’t mean he wouldn’t see the NRA’s data with a similar degree of skepticism.

I always thought it was a marketing thing. After all the Girl Who books hit mainstream, rubes browsing the paperbacks in airports would be XX% more likely to pick up the book going ‘Oh I heard these were good.’

I don’t feel like you know what you’re talking about.

A friend of mine is a lady who owns a Grand Sport. Buying the Vette inspired her to do her first track day and I think she’s hooked!

I mean... white man of privilege here. While I respect her position I don’t necessarily agree with her views. That said, I’ve only read this one article on the topic, so I’m sure she has a clearer view as someone who was offered a seat.

I don’t think this is all that uncommon. Water causes a short, the short puts electric current through other components of the car that may not be wet. Said component catches fire.

The Record Industry Admits MP3 Revolution Will Take Four Decades.

Not serious.

This is fake. In some scenes the cars are dirty, in others they are clean. Total BS.

Oh and he fell off that horse in Argentina that one time.

I mean, OK yeah, saying the next engine will be turbo is 100% speculation.

Its funny how much we enthusiasts obsess about cars, but how little we know about how they’re actually made.

You guys realize the next car is going to come with a 1.3-liter turbo engine and like 15 more hp, but a bunch more torque now, right?

Behold the twin-engine, twin-transmission Hyundai Tiburon. As seen on the issue of Sport Compact Car inside my backpack in high school.
