I say put brush bars on all the emergency vehicles and shove the robots out of the way.

“found that her first-ever Grand Prix left her wondering if the whole “racing” thing is worth her time”

F1's been bad at weather-related scheduling forever. Malaysia in April, Japan in monsoon season, etc. About the only thing they get right consistently is “don’t go to the middle east in the summer.”

Certain model years of DB9 have a rear turn signal which has a red lens when at rest, but actually flashes amber! I think it’s an incredible design, and have never seen it anywhere else.

There was a Jeep concept years ago (the Hurricane) that had similar party tricks, though it had an ICE motor and all the associated complications. This kind of steering geometry is much easier to pull off when you don’t need driveshafts, and I think it’s a killer-app for electric cars!

Does anyone *really* care about this outside of motorsports?

On the other hand, if Florida inspects rides like they inspect cars, that legislation will only be useful as toilet paper.

Ok hear me out: Alt-history 1998-era throwback hyperreal Jet Moto movie

The Fiat 500 Jolly might, *might* be able to compete with this, but anything else is the incorrect answer.

Fiat Jolly:

If he’s not a Republican Senator, I’ll be shocked.

As a long-time Gran Turismo fan, I have been complaining about AI in videogames for nearly 30 years already!

That still costs more than any single piece of clothing I own! Including shoes! Perhaps that says more about me than it does about merch prices, but F1 needs decent merch in the $20-$30 range. A basic t-shirt shouldn’t cost $80. At the Isle of Man I bought two t-shirts, a good jacket, two decks of cards, and a sticker…

I thought the problem with F1 merch was that it was expensive, and they’re here selling hockey jerseys for $200+

Personally I don’t really get this sense of community at all when I commute on my bike...

They recently removed a car lane in exchange for a bike lane (in both directions) near my apartment complex. Now, because cars are forced to string out in one lane, it routinely takes 3 minutes or more to turn left, on a car or a bike.

Yeah that checks out. I imagine it’s big in the Ferrari world too.

Is it just me or are those “rare car” guys always muscle car guys?

There was the Evo VIII WRC car...

Yeah, I guess I was thinking about it more in terms of broad “market appeal,” car-per-dollar terms. The thing with the Elise (or Exige) is if you really want one, an Evora simply will not do, and the market is getting to the point where the current owners *really want* their Elise and must be convinced with dollars to…
