Is a Dealership expected to run a criminal background check on a potential driver?  Is that even legal? I get that the dealer is responsible for the Salesman especially if he’s been publishing that his test rides will be something more.  I assume they checked that he had a license in hand to begin with, but can/do…

Scrolling through the 156 pics and I am struck by just how “used” this thing is.  There is so much general wear and it has 58K on the clock.  The paint looks like it was layed on in one heavy coat or maybe the whole thing was repainted and done really heavy.  Those helper wheels tucked under the ass have me intrigued…

and a full can of energy drink into the footwell

Max for one does and did at Hungary as he torpedo’d into LH. I think they all do at times, but LH has also been known for someone who knows how to preserve his tires. I think he was racing hard knowing that he was near the end and he was always (short of something crazy) gonna come in at least 2nd so why not really…

any thoughts on why he was hooking up better coming out of them?

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…
