I wonder if the tires getting smaller due to wear was what was giving him that ability to launch out of the turns better? I mean the overall diameter would have been marginally reduced more so than normal which would also explain why Lewis couldn’t match him out of the turns. Martin kept making mention of how…

That gutsy call in a team known for analyzing every detail of data is what sunk MB’s ship. While I love the gutsy, MB should have done the quick math and said uh George our calc’s show we’ll be in trouble at the end or at the least at the end Toto should have said “Please help the fans get a closer look at you so…

Ford vs Ferrari was good for sure, but I think that movie was trying to tell the story of the rivalry part of the story whereas Le Mans was telling the story of the racing itself, so the cars and the race feature more prominently as actual characters in a sense.

Compared to LeMans which is right next to this movie in my adoration, its got far more dialog! LOL

This is one of my all time favorites too. I have it on Disk and have watched it innumerable times at full volume for that opening sequence. If I recall correctly, for each Race Track, he employed a different cinematic technique or vision to differentiate amongst the moments in race year that it covers.  The behind the…

First Gen “Ford New Edge” styling was far better.

$600 and I’ll take it and part it out.  Otherwise, no way is it even worth half that money!

I had an 01 ZX3 and it was cheap, dead reliable and actually fun to drive. I owned it for nearly 10yrs and only replaced the wear items and one alternator over that span of 75K miles. When mom needed a basic car I recommended this over a Honda Fit because it was much cheaper (this was about 8yrs ago) so she ended up…

I’ve watched LeMans more times than I can count and the Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512 sonorous interludes will never ever get old.  The volume is always at 11 during those sequences.

absolutely !

Today, he’s your uncle with the MAGA hat and the Let’s Go Brandon Bumper stickers

I dug the concept of flying cars in a Future NYC. Not only autonomous, but flying where you need them to. I especially like the Taxi because that’s my ideal. Schedule an Uber trip, your unmanned Taxi pod shows up and whisks you to your destination, unless of course Bruce drops in with Milla.

that front end gives me Junkers JU 52 vibes.

1985 saw my Mom total our 81 Fiat Brava, so Dad got a used 79 Volvo 245 DL Wagon. It had 90K on the clock and by the time we got rid of it in 1996 it had well over 260K on the clock, but those front seats were very comfortable and supportive without being giant pillows. I took the car on 4-5 hour ski trips and was…

ughhh Why sully the name just like you did with the Mustang Mach E. Both are decent looking cars on their own. Further, in the US I do not think people outside the Jalopniverse will ultimately put 2 and 2 together with the Capri name. I guess they found success with the Maverick as a pickup so why not this...but my…

yup, hauler error. I mean they even had vehicle(s) with them stating oversize so its not like the driver just went there on his own.

There would have been a standard sign ahead stating the clearance and since it seems this tunnel is not lower than spec for normal heavy vehicles no flashing lights are needed. You only do that when the height is below DOT or Highway Spec. This was an oversize load so the onus is on the hauler to properly plan the…

Its running, in decent shape, is odd and I loved them when they came out so I’m nice price. Back in 87 while visiting family in UK I did get to drive a UK Sierra with the Cologne V6 and manual transmission and it was really really nice.  Fast forward a couple years from then and my buddy got a used one with the…

Max would certainly know how an arrogant child acts so there’s that! 

No, I wanted Horner to say “we’ll talk after the race” but I incorrectly paraphrased Horner’s response. However, this is what we heard on the radio:
