My work is less than 5 miles by air, 12 by ground. It’s not that uncommon in city/mountainous areas (happen to be both here)

Drivers currently do not count, and neither do the top 3? Employees by wage in the teams (and engine manufacturers have separate structures as well). Drivers will have a separate cost cap in the coming years. Not sure about 2 or 3 yet. 4 FIA does, just as they do today with resource allocation in every way other than…

But really though, if they don’t DQ him, every single team abuses it later in the season. It is far too powerful a tool to let them try to trick. This is arguably the single most important regulation in the sport. See Ferrari top of the class spirally down to 6th... (and that wasn’t even abusing this particular…

If the idea that fuel consumption and fuel composition are actually regulated and not allowed to do whatever the hell the teams want turns ‘casual fans away from the sport’, I would ask you to take a look at how long exactly no-holds-barred motorsport systems manage to stay interesting or competitive. Just ask LMP1

We can be all hot and bothered about this... but it should be insanely obvious to everyone why rules like this exist and why they HAVE to be enforced stringently. Teams can and will claim whatever the heck they want to abuse the rules and try to gain an advantage. Lest anyone forget, Ferrari through engine related…

Wait, @Elizabeth..... video claims the Renault weighs only 1044 lbs and range of 45mi. That seems much more reasonable given the size....

I LOVE the way the Renault looks, but can’t believe despite that exterior cuteness, it’s so ludicrously heavier and lower range (not that the range *really* matters) than the others. And then that price.... oof.

Sounds like Russel will be fine, stopping just past is okay as long as you have the fuel leftover. AM claims there is 1.4L left in the tank, but it does question how they can only get 0.3L out.... I mean I’m not saying I think AM intentionally acted in bad faith, but it’s extremely obvious why that rule would exist…

Exactly. And cars are becoming so powerful these days, you have small/moderate sized crossovers rated for 3500 lbs. That tow nicer than trucks from even a decade ago (did that comparison back to back in June)

Very very few people actually need trucks. This fits within the official tow ratings and tows nicer than the truck seen behind the boat. RVs, people who tow non-stop long distance, and that's basically it. Did a two day loan on a trailer to bring 4x8 sheets for some home reno stuff, was 40 dollars? 

The only time you should care about a high property value is when you go to sell/finance it, every other second it’s perceived as high is wasted money on taxes etc. Also the “effect of a shitty house somewhere in the neighborhood driving down property values” is so insanely overstated... when was the last time anyone…

I know this is a bit tongue in cheek (a bit), but the idea that people really should be starting with much much slower bikes (and cars to be fair) is completely valid. I know I learned to ride on a 6 horsish, hacked up custom bike my dad put together from an old lawnmower engine. We even somewhere have a photo of my…

I’m more of the opinion that late 90s through mid 2000s were the low innovation/stagnation in design and otherwise. By the 10's styling was moving forward again and cars started getting hugely more powerful (see first vs second gen fusion for example). The ‘probably irrational’ headcanon I have is that the…

There is nothing on land as fun to drive as your run of the mill snowmobile, CVT or not. Most boats are well... boats and that description is aptly named, but the visible wake left behind of a boat on plane is one of the most entrancing images out there, the complex fluid dynamics and resistances literally visible…

There is basically only one company that even makes the tools to make chips, which is the part people don’t seem to understand. You can throw all the money you want at it, but if the machines to build the machines to build the chips are at full capacity, there isn’t shit you can do about it. (That company, ASML is…

I’m a Tesla M Y owner without FSD (because I’m not drinking *all* the koolaid), but this is and has always been a huge scam and I can’t wait for the class action lawsuit that does absolutely nothing and gives the gypped owners pennies on the dollar back in recompense while making the lawyers billionaires. 

World to Kimi. Calling Kimi. -For What- Calling Kimi. -For What- Calling Kimi. --FOR WHAT?!?!--

Shocker this, but pickup trucks. Anything modern today is already too fast for a first driver (well almost anything), but at least when a kid crashes a civic into someone else, they aren’t getting obliterated. Or how the last thing kids need is huge vehicles with non-existent sightlines, terrible road holding,…

Lewis did brake going in, though clearly not enough to avoid collision. Otherwise Lewis wouldn't have been level and then end up hitting the rear instead despite Max being on a longer path.
