Hes not a fugitive. He was convicted in abscentia. He surely has a warrant for his arrest, and he would likely be sentenced to max local time upon return on the warrant. He can also be sentenced in absentia once the pre sentence report is returned by probation.

2015 will be a test of whether Honda can outdo the sourcery that is the Mercedes power unit. If they at least get close, it can lead to a major shift in the sport. Perhaps Red Bull switching, or perhaps the secret Audi program is unveiled. Mercedes has shown their cards, now is the time to see if they can keep the…

Where is the obligatory V6 Accord has a better 0-60 time comment?

The engine program in Brixworth is a breakaway from the original incarnation of Illmor. My understanding is that the company was split in two, with Mercedes taking some resources and Roger Penske taking his share. "AMG Petronas Mercedes" is a turn key operation in Brackley that the mothership bought from Brawn. Two…

Ask Toyota which is a better value proposition...

Buying a new reasonably priced car is a matter of receiving reliable transport. Buying a new luxury car affords you premium transportation. Buying a used luxury car is a HOBBY. The hobby involves spending most of your free time at a service center. All the bits and pieces on a car have a finite shelf life, and you pay…

I am seriously considering a 200S AWD for my next set of wheels. The AWD/V6 combo is unique in the category. If Mazda offered something similar I would probably jump on it, but it is just not something they will entertain. I haven't tested one yet, but on paper it seems like something that would suit my needs. By…

From a technical standpoint Audi is well positioned to transition to grand prix racing. Also, the commercial stability of F1 versus WEC is a major plus. It is mainly a matter of which factories they want to compete against. In F1, you have Mercedes, Ferrari, with engine support from Renault and soon Honda. WEC offers…

It would be ironic if radio stations start to get bought up by podcast networks, or at the very least licensing deals get signed. This would broaden their audiences, and make it easier for regular listeners to tune in live. The non stop music paradigm has been swallowed whole by music apps, there is no going back.…

How are we "overlawyered"? Nissan runs a business, Spa-Francorchamps runs a business. It is irresponsible to run a corporation without having control over the intellectual property of the products you sell. It is also irresponsible to own a famous venue, and let a company use the brand equity built by your venue…

20 more ponies, awd, improved interior, and keep it priced below segment competitors. This is a hot segment, and Honda needs to make a play against the Germans, and while Lexus let's the IS twist in the wind.

1) The COTA promoters won't pay the sanctioning fee the series would ask for.

Still cannot say he has the most rings among quarterbacks that have come out of Archie's ball sack.

The episode centered around the whole story of the end of Saturday morning cartoons. The automotive material was a means of setting up a wacky races allagory. You're over thinking a Timmy episode.

At least the NASCAR start and park teams profit from the strategy. Caterham is circling the drain. We might see a small grid next season until the 3 car teams come on line.

Riced up disaster on wheels.

ill take one with a diesel, in a nice chocolate brown. Take my money VW.

Not fooled by reading it is the best over and over. The iPhone is a commodity good like any flagship phone now. Pick your favorite os and enjoy your pocket computer. That doesn't make for very exciting technology blogs though.

i grew up and learned to drive in NYC, and I think this just further confirms that the metro area is not a place to drive a car. Having lived in Florida and Upstate NY, I have gotten to understand the value of having a fun car, and that you can find backroads to have fun, and be far enough away from anything to be…
