This was a really crappy move by McLaren. Waited too long to allow Perez to get a seat elsewhere, as it looks like the grid is pretty much full for next year. They called him a diamond in the rough that would need polishing last year, what happened to that? You gave him a terrible car and he underperformed. …

Yeah, Perez was the problem.

Those two chairs might look the same but only one has working KERS.

The truck game is very different from the luxury sedan game.

Charcoal is a "flashy color" now?

1. Tinkering is no longer possible

Bah. Just last Sunday I switched my summer gearshift knob (billet) to my winter one (the leather number from a Mustang). Sure it's not much, hardly a thing at all, but I was completely enamored with the stupid thing for several hours (like I am every year)

Wrong premises: being able to stop and to turn is way more important for safety than accelerating. Having winter tires means you have grip in all these 3 occasions, where all wheel drive only helps when you accelerate and partially when you turn.

AWD doesn't affect braking either! This point is often overlooked. When it's icy, braking and throttle-off cornering (unless you are a hoon) is all that really matters, AWD helps neither of these!

You did it wrong, Subaru.

We always had less than 0% chance of getting this, didn't we?

Just let me know when I can pick up my cert to the Skip Barber school.

Fascinated to see how well this goes.. There's a few BRZ rally kit cars already out there..

Scantily-clad girls posing with motorized vehicles really is sexism. Broads hate that.

Breaking down gender roles? No, this is comedy.

Netural:

I'm a pilot too and every time I'm up I consider to option of letting the co-pilot fly the plane (when I have one) and just jump (with a parachute)...

There don't seem to be many (any) skydivers here. They require 20 BASE jumps to ride the catapult and I'm not quite there yet so it was the boring ol' platform for me. I did go to the briefing though, checked out the machine and heard all about the testing they did, flinging each other into a river. I also got to see…

That's like asking, "Why would you want to do anything that's potentially dangerous just for a thrill?" The answer to that question is obvious: because it's fun/it's a rush. It's why people drive fast and race cars, why they run, dive, mountain bike, sail, fly, etc.

It doesn't justify the red light thing, but in general talk, motorists are faster and more visible. I don't like when a bicyclist has taken a spot in the middle of the road, behind which I still maintain a following distance, making everybody behind them slow to a crawl until we can get around.

I doubt that most cyclists in New York are inconsiderate assholes. You just notice the ones that are.

And it's not like there aren't a lot of reckless inconsiderate assholes driving cars in New York (and everywhere). They're far more dangerous than cyclists. It's a simple question of weight-ratios.

I would never ride…
