Thanks for all the facts. I did that comment tongue in cheek mostly because I wanted to hear what people have to say about our current state of things. Yes, coal and not oil powers most electric plants. I am a big fan of renewable energy. I don’t however, like having EVs shoved down my throat due to regulations or…

Tune in next week for announcement of new Fenati/Ferrucci team! Watch out world, get in our way and we’ll makka yoooo payyyy!

The best way to EV is to just say no to EV. There is a myth that EV will free us from the dreaded oil barons. The truth is, that electricity has to come from somewhere, and the sun just isn’t cutting it. We have to ability to recycle 90+% of a gas powered car, but I highly doubt that we have the tech to recycle all…

Kimi is not ALLOWED to win. What team in their right mind, pits a driver leading the race, on tires that are not half the race distance old, and that have had a safety car period too. Every other race this season where they have 1 stopped, they have waited till half distance or a bit before. Now all of a sudden, we…

The first car I truly loved was the MGB. I just liked everything about it. I had the good fortune of finding one when I was still 16 from one of my Dads friends. He bought it for me, and I spent the next year teaching myself to do rust/rot repairs. I had the body almost all done, but couldn’t get it to turn over, so…

As a subscriber to Autoweek in the mid 80's, I always looked forward to her columns, which I think were called “the way it was” or something similar. She had the best stories about her racing life and she wrote great anecdotes about all the characters of the racing world. Between her, Leon Mandell, Satch Carlson, and…

Great project choice David. Ahhh, this brings back so many memories. My late uncle had a horse transport business on Long Island which also had a 1 mile grass and dirt exercise track, AND a postal jeep. Every time there was a family party, we would always wind up taking the jeep and my other uncles VW bug, and having…

This is a job for Seal Team Six, or Fox Force Five!

What is the approximate operating cost of a site like Jalopnik? I always picture a site growing from a couple college guys writing articles for fun about a topic they love, to suddenly becoming a money sucking monstrosity that needs big corporate funding to operate. Am I wrong?

One of my top 3 movies of all time. So entertaining, plus, geek that I am, back then I knew that the plot mimics the actual GM plot to get rid of the street cars across the US and replace them with GM made busses. Its what made LA what it is today, 6 lanes of traffic 24/7. My friends didn’t care about this historical…

I’m giving ALO a pass on this one, because the poor guy needed a win. While arguably the best driver of his generation, his career(team) choices have left him winless for a loooooooooong time, while watching drivers like Vettle and his arch nemesis Hamilton score 4 titles each. The fact that he was unable to win an F1…

POTY (post of the year!) I literally did two(2!) spit takes watching those clips. OMFG, that’s the best worst car I have ever seen. But, you totally have made it Torch! Congrats. I’m sure this must have been a career/life highlight. I know it would be for me.

Back in 1995, I was working at some place for some months. You had to put your name on the calendar if you were going to take vacation, so I did for the weekend of the Canadian GP like, a month before. The day before I’m leaving, the boss is like “I need you to work tomorrow”. Im like “Uh sorry, I’ll be in Montreal,…

19BOZZY92 is my hero. He also uses binaural microphones on his camera, which really brings the sound to life. Wish that were my job, go to the track, usually Monza, hang out and watch/record cool cars doing stuff. Thats what I get for going to college to get moar knowledge.

I think heat is never the answer for a stick of butter, as it will not permeate the center. I think putting the stick in plastic wrap and squashing it through a pasta maker would do nicely. Or, a tortilla press. I have ALOT of kitchen gadgets.

There’s no doubt these things are fast, and accelerate great. It all comes down to brakes and tires. If you can upgrade to some bigger rotors/calipers and decent track tires, these Teslas can really boogie. Do these have regenerative braking?

After this season. I don’t give him past Montreal. No points, not ONE. Add to that the unforced errors at Baku and at this race. He’s in Kvyat territory. Bye bye Romain.........................

Here are some of mine, after years of random collecting, I decided to stick to 1:18 and Ferrari, mostly F1, except for the GT40, which is my favorite.

Anyone who keeps a tape measure on their dash has no business videoing people just trying to get to their destination in a quicker manner than the law allows.

I’ll take any V12 from this era: Ferrari, Lambo, Yamaha, Honda, even the awful Life W12 . This is my favorite era in F1, just after the first turbo era. You could run a V8, V10, V12, whatever. Plus, there were alot more teams, and if you got to the track early, you could see pre-qualifying! Plus Plus, they ran crazy…
