For shame. It should have been canceled or postponed, or they should have let them run. As it was, was only “run” for 2 fake laps due to commercial contracts.

Vettel makes me like him more and more.  It’s like his time at Ferrari was sucking the life out of him or something.

Agreed.  Norris was consistently better than everyone in the previous two sessions, on inters, and seeing Danny Ric in 4th it sure seemed like we missed out on the papaya orange leading the pack to start tomorrow.

Isn’t every moving accident preceded by one last drive?

They only offer coverage for their own vehicles and only in CA, but they value their insurance vertical at more than the gross written premium of the entire CA auto insurance market. Bonkers, indeed! If the insurance portion were really that valuable, there’s no reason that they shouldn’t just buy an insurance company,…

Ah yes, the trouble with being a driving/car enthusiast: other drivers. I laugh when dentists drive their supercars on one-lane roads and can only go as fast as the Camry in front of them... but then I’m eventually stuck behind that Camry.

Sorry, didn’t mean it as a knock on you personally. I must have been cranky that day. I’m happy to hear you were respectful of other’s serenity. And that’s such a pretty area (I’m from Alberta and have been there a few times). Glad you had a good time.

I’m guessing the difference in cost between what they’ll spend for the ‘22 and how much they can make off the ‘21 is less than they would have spent in nation-wide advertising which is essentially what this is now.

I wonder if GM informed his local law enforcement agency?

It’s a good thing those cars look great because loud cars and trucks have a tendency to ruin a peaceful day in the mountains for everyone else. At least that one is pretty. 

I guess the real question here is whether I’d choose this green yard dart as how I die, because there are zero safety features, not enough power to get out of its own way matched by 80s-era brakes almost as strong as what’s on my bicycle. Almost.

Millions of people would disagree with this. Just look at this thing you put in your 12VDC socket that gets you 100 mpg and 100 extra hp. Just look at the reviews by people that clearly do not work for the company showing how great it works.

The simplest answer: increasing your rim-to-tire ratio.

Start by killing it with fire...

“Seriously, boaters actually turned their crafts around and chased down the Switch prototypes just to figure out what they just saw blow past them.”

Most modifications tend to be a compromise. Want to improve the road handling by lowering the suspension? Compromise comfort. Wan’t more power? Kiss your MPGs goodbye. There are exceptions, of course, but automakers spend billions to engineer a car that makes the best compromises it can so any deviation we make with ou…

Lord....
Yes, it will be. And we can say, “I knew it then, when it was just a frustration for the buyer.” We will sit around our keyboards and sip old man beer, muttering about the one that got away.

I struggle to even be mad or conjure up hate for this thing. The best I can muster is “meh”.

The people complaining about this are the same people that financed Chrysler 200's at 15% APR.

Experienced readers of Musk’s twitter account know that his tweets vary from wildly exaggerated to flat out lies.
