The 2007 spygate scandal between Ferrari & McLaren.

When the guerillas kidnapped Fangio before the Cuban Grand Prix in 1959. Pretty bold move by Fidel and his cronies. Apparently they treated him very well.

There used to be something like 20 cars fit to wear the gulf livery. Not 20 models, 20 actual cars. Approximately. Because they raced, and were sponsored by Gulf. I would say these days there’s probably something like 5000 of them, or more. I don’t care what kind of car is wearing the colors, if it wasn’t painted with…

Pretty much any old Citroen. Even some of the newer ones.

All the Geico ads are fuckin genius.

I’m so sick of this livery, seeing it everywhere is starting to ruin the cars that actually wore them in period, when it was cool...

He mentioned the car is in 4th gear, in the second video.

BRIAN REDMANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Yep, definitely a re-post

The new album is OK, but not a Wilco classic. Tweedy took too many of the best songs he wrote recently for his solo project with his kid.

Mine’s an 1985 euro model. I recently did full paint & bodywork and it had the holes for the spoiler filled - i saw it when they stripped the paint. I’ve no idea if it was ever there, but I like it better without it.

Mine is spoiler-less, but I haven’t had any issues.

That may be the case but when I drive one in the streets of São Paulo with a million motorbikes whizzing around, it is not a great feeling. And they are getting worse and worse with the high beltlines and letterbox rear windows.

You’re not wrong, Doug, but there are certain aspects of modern cars that make it irritatingly harder to judge just how big they are. Outward visibility, for one. Modern car design with all the safety requirements and aerodynamic tweaks to make better gas mileage have affected the driver’s trusty “portals to optimum…

Le Mans, definitely. I went in 2005 as a 16 year old. The atmosphere is contagious, people love the racing, there are die-hard fans and families present, everyone is pretty respectful, the racing never stops, there’s plenty to do around the track like visiting the Le Mans museum. I even wandered into the camp grounds…

The fuckin thing has a predator grille. Go Lexus.

This exists. I’ve seen it. I wrote about it here a long time ago. This and spikes and even smoke were all installed in a Mercedes S600 that was prepared by an Israeli company for important dignitaries to ride in. The one I saw was going to be ex secretary general Kofi Annan’s ride through São Paulo when he visited a…

Ah! Now that is an interesting concept.

No, that’s the Ferrariest Citroën.

It’s the DS. That’s why we all consider Citroëns Citroën. It’s the Citroëniest car ever.
