C’mon. If you’re a real supervillain, you’ll have a cargo plane that’ll catch the capsule as it’s parachuting down. Open mouth, swallow capsule, and away you go to a country that won’t work with US authorities.  Offer the current despot half the ransom and enjoy the rest.

Wrong. Do you even follow F1? The stewards said Hamilton was “predominantly” at fault, which is the correct assessment. Predominantly means anywhere between 51% - 99% at fault. Given the fact that the stewards assessed the second least penalty, you can guess where it fell on that scale.

Him crashing his teammate Ricciardo at Baku is the stuff of legends.  I may just go rewatch that episode of Drive to Survive just to watch Horner’s smarmy face fall.

LMAO - have you watched F1 before this race?  Did you watch Imola?  Did you watch Spain?

Let’s not forget it was also the *first lap*.  With the RB16B’s pace, Red Bull’s typically stellar strategy, Max’s skill and Red Bull’s famous pit speed, he’d likely be in a position to win at the end of the race even if Hamilton got by him there.  

Lewis wouldn’t put himself in the position to be punted off into the wall.  He’d concede, just as he did when Max ran him over in Spain and bumped him off in Imola.

Found Helmut Marko!

C’mon man. Max *literally* had a rule created to stop one of his aggressive driving behaviors. Who do you think was the impetus behind the “no moving under braking” rule? Verstappen.

You want to see a pattern???

Because if Marko and Horner are a 10/10 on the whiny scale, Toto is a solid 9. :D

This, 1000x this. This was 100% a racing incident and could have been dismissed without any penalty. While the stewards are not supposed to consider the outcome of the crash, which was extremely violent in this case, nor the teams involved, they’re also human. Both drivers deserve blame for the cause of the accident…

It’s a car show and it’s generally entertaining.  I’ll take it.

If I put my feet in the ocean for two minutes, I can say I’ve touched the water, even if I didn’t go swimming. If Branson’s altitude was enough for NASA to consider it going to space, it’s space to me as well.

Beautiful, but boring to drive.

Paying cash right now isn’t a great play.  I just bought a used ATSV and could’ve paid cash, but opted to finance most of the purchase.  BofA gave me a rate on a used car of 2%.  My investments are currently returning about 15%.

I can see that with AMP.  I’ve had the pleasure of driving a R8 V10 Plus and TTRS on the track and thought it fantastic.  However, braking into 1 would probably be the key passing zone.

This is always obnoxious.  Looking at GTIs, they seem one of the worst amongst cars I’ve shopped for.  Lots of base cars listed as “Autobahn”.  One way I found to subvert that would be to filter for “leather seats” as a feature.

Japan would be amazing - lots of opportunities for urban races and the mountain driving would be absolutely epic.  Biggest challenge would be the off-roady stuff there, but that would be what I missed the least anyway.

Also ND because you can probably get a ND for that money.

I liked the previous 440GC, heck, it was on my shortlist for the new dadmobile. Since you can’t get a 3-series wagon and, even if you buy used you can only get it with the four-cylinder, it seems the best compromise.
