Counterpoint: No, he doesn’t. He’s a genuinely good person who is imperfect, like everyone is, but is actually willing to learn and grow.

wanna talk cookie cutter tracks?

It will once again be devoid of Americans, and so become the most desirable vacation spot on the planet!

The US hasn’t seen Cuba as an evil empire for a while either. The reason this is happening is that this helps the GOP hold Florida in elections.

Earlier this year there was a ‘prestige’ South Korean drama that was partially set in Cuba. It was beautifully filmed, definitely meant to promote tourism on the Island. Later a South Korean reality series popped up, two popular K-drama stars making a tour of the island. Apparently the rest of the world doesn’t see…

Kinda blows my mind that there’s a subreddit full of individuals who not only still play this game regularly but are up to discuss it at length on Reddit. True masochism, if I ever saw it

Verstappen shouldn’t get a pass because the pit lane was crowded. Every other driver in the pits got released without hitting anybody.  

The driver of the day and of the weekend was Lewis Hamilton. He put down one hell of a qualifying lap in Q3 to seal the deal. Then today he held off Max Verstappen with tires that went to hell pretty much half way through the race and managed to defend against him pretty well despite the lunge coming out of the…

And it’s just as easy to be ‘faster’ and sit behind a car and not pass. What’s your point? Max didn’t do anything to deserve driver of the day. He had a fast car and leap frogged his way up the order in the pits, not on the track.

Monaco exists for the drivers and for the marketing of its prestige atmosphere. Nobody who matters is laboring under the illusion that it’s likely to have good racing.

While I thought the race was a little on the boring side, the intrigue of possible outcomes was nonetheless good enough to keep me watching. The only thing else I can say is that based on what we heard of the radio chatter between Hamilton and his engineer, his engineer is INCREDIBLY diplomatic. I’d have been like:

Why does F1 still run Monaco? There’s no intrigue in watching a guy win a race after spending 67 laps nursing his tires. There’s no intrigue in watching the car in second completely unable to make a pass from 0.6 seconds down on a car that’s running 3 seconds below the pace. There's no intrigue in watching the 3rd and…

Pfft, next thing you know, they’ll make a limited edition 7 Series called the “BMW Individual M760Li xDrive Model V12 Excellence THE NEXT 100 YEARS”

Oh wait...

So 35 to the US for Persian-Americans, the rest to Persia?

The original NSX was not legendary because it had a manual and lacked electric motors. Its was because it was a supercar for half the price that was easy to live with. The new NSX is still exactly this.

Saying the LFA was a failure is what kids in Mustangs and Subies say. Any enthusiast worth his/her weight in appreciation for cutting edge technology and performance would love to have one if they had the money.

Why was the LFA a failure? They made as many as they originally planned to (500) and every one sold easily. It got great reviews, even from a hater like Clarkson and it’s still an icon of automotive engineering and performance. A failure because it’s more than you can afford or more than what people thought it was…

No interest without being able to heel-and-toe.

You wanna know how I know you’ve never driven one?
