gaaaahhh!!!! All this consolidation and favoritism that we have witnessed over the past 20 years is really ruining the creativity of the aerospace industry. Lockheed Martin and Boeing, it's always either tweedledee or tweedlefuckingdum. That's all we're left with. Consolidated, Convair, Martin Marieta, McDonnel,…

Sore loser?
I think they have a valid concern. If anyone other than Boeing had listed a price like that they would never have been selected.

Am I the only one who thought of this?

'A race track.' A race track? This is Spa fucking Francorchamps! That corner is Eau Rouge!

I'm an American, for what it's worth. And you either have zero familiarity with Jeremy Clarkson or are supremely naive.

When you deliberately start shit and call it a joke don't be surprised when the subjects of your jokery don't appreciate it and respond with something other than laughter. Clarkson is a massive twat.

Whinging like the little bitch he is. What's the matter, Clarkson? Can't take a joke?

That looks like a fun way to get the other guys in your muscle car group arrested/ticketed. Cop hears roar, sees smoke, completely ignores shitbox Chevette and pulls over the Corvettes and the Monte.

He's selling to buy a keyboard with a working capslock key.

Massa was right. Racing in typhoon-type weather? Even I, sitting at home, was frightened for the drivers. And look what happened. For "Sky Sports" to say that is just absurd. It's not even about that, its about the safety of the drivers.

"Modern F1 cars are bullshit...but I wouldn't have to smash every mirror in my house if I had had one in '76."

Seriously though, I'm tired of this line about F1 cars getting boring; maybe having the same teams win every year is boring, but the cars and the tech aren't.

I'm thinking the opposite: I'd rather have a guy in charge who actually experienced driving crazy cars with massive power in an era with terrible safety, not to mention almost died himself and has to live with a disfigured appearance to this day because of it. He has himself put his life on the line and faced terrible…

I'm not convinced the best spokesman for a faster, more dangerous brand of motorsport is a guy who had his face burned off racing a car.

Wasn't Alonso's ass handed to him as well in 2007 - by his rookie team mate? Didn't he then leave for Ferrari and started building himself a "best driver in F1" reputation there?

It's because the people who can't/will never buy them want something to complain about because they're always right.

I never quite understood the sentiment regarding the "Lambo is dead" thing.

except this car doesnt comply with any safety regulations.

This couldn't be much of an S-Class rival. It'd be too expensive to be in the same category. The Lagonda is made by hand and has sheetmetal made of carbon fiber. It's expensive to build, so it'll be really expensive to buy.

You can get Patrick to show up in your life for a free beer and maybe some Jimmy Johns. Getting him to move on, however...
