FYI... we’re in the market for a new house.

Part of it is the “K” shaped recovery. Office workers who worked from home, didn’t get laid off, and didn’t get to go on vacations or go out to dinner at all last year are sitting on cash that they normally would have spent. Many have decided to use it to treat themselves to new cars, houses, etc.

Lots of man hours and tooling goes into every new part, so absolutely yes.

Of course they do. Designing bespoke components for low-volume cars costs the same amount of money as designing it for any other car, but you sell fewer cars so the per-part price is much higher. But, if you take common parts from other cars you offset the per-item cost considerably. That’s how automakers were able to…

I don’t think they’re ugly at all, and the price is right in line with what they’re going for at that mileage. The wheels are weird, but those are easily replaced. Nice Price if it checks out on inspection.

It’s not that you don’t know how to use the notifications/comments, but Kinja has been fucked up for weeks now with no fix in sight. It happens for all of us. Sometimes if somebody who replies to me is still in the grey, the comment is lost forever.

Understeering into an opponent on the outside of the corner is a loss of control and 100% that driver’s fault. Lewis went into the corner too hot, couldn’t get his car to turn into the apex, and understeered into the side of Verstappen. Verstappen had to turn into the corner at some point, couldn’t see that Lewis was…

The lesson I took from this weekend is you only get a 10 sec penalty for punting the guy you’re closest to in the standings off the track. Might as well boot them.

I’m not gonna pretend to have watched every F1 race since the dawn of time, but my view on it was Max had better track position, was further ahead, and could complete the corner in a manner consistent with a pretty standard racing line. Hamilton can’t say any of those things. A reasonable spectator would look at both…

This is what is bugging me so much. I think had he shuffled to the back and was forced to work his way through the field, we’d all see it as a racing incident and feel things were “balanced” as it were. But to punt Max out and then be sitting comfortably for the podium. Hell, even after the long stop, I don’t think he…

Especially since he had actual damage from the incident to repair during that pit (broken rim) and basically didn’t suffer the consequences of it at all.

Point of contact. Max’s corner. Lewis should have backed out.

Or Lewis’s post-race flag run. You just stole a win (twice). Have some humility, numbnuts.

I fully recognize I may not be the objective one here as I might have felt quite differently if the shoe was on the other foot, but - there’s something deeply fucked up about pushing your opponent off the racetrack (Hamilton was NEVER alongside Max into Copse) and then being allowed to win the race anyways.

I think they misunderstood what smoking a bowl means.

My initial thought was that was a lot for such a mass produced game that in the grand scheme of things isn’t all that old.

Hey! Central Iowa news. That’s my stomping grounds! The only vehicles that should be pulling under an overpass in a heavy storm are those with limited protection for the elements, such as motorcyclists or convertibles with their top down. Other than that, keep moving at a slow pace and know that your safety and the…

$10k for an ugly car with 170k on the clock? c’mon, man!

I might be missing the point here, but surely the key message is Don’t stop and park up on the freeway, as other people will drive into you...?

very helpful reframing - thanks! I have been at the same job for a while and probably need to jump to have more growth, going through the isolation of the pandemic alone, and have been on a transaction/deal for the past 6 months, with a boss that could call me at any point 8am to 8pm or later). I am burnt out and…
