“... they invite a bunch of journalists from the world over, gather them all up and have them all drive the car all together, usually only for a few hours. Saves them time and money, I think...”

There is no aspect of that lead photo that isn’t absolutely terrifying.

I guess we’re square enough.

“...revving the engine higher while accelerating.”

“sending it” and “send it” are quickly making it onto my most annoyingly overused phrases list.

Wait.. You’ve only ever rev matched while decelerating?

Rev matches?

That poor clutch. 

I think Raph is working from the perspective that there’s more to being the best F1 driver than just driving and counting wins. Stewart has a lot of responsibility for a lot of F1 drivers not being killed. Great ambassador for the sport. Etc etc.

I was fixin' to brawl, but then got to your closing remarks. You get a solid pass. 

1992. It was made around 1992.

Just wait til you talk to hard core off roaders / rock crawlers. Manuals take more skill, so may be more rewarding, but automatics are superior when it comes to getting the job done. Far superior.

The catch can is where I’m leading with this. Is the problem not significant enough for the oems to incorporate them from the factory? Are manufacturer/dealership complex conspiracy theorists onto something, with cleaning being a nice little profit center? More than catch can maintenance would be? 

Is there an inoculation available for this story? It just keeps coming back.

Is carbon buildup in direct-injection engines really a thing?  Like, say, the GM 3.6...

Also poorly worded, although it doesn’t say “only taking photos is permitted”, notice. Also, holding up bad policy as examples of accepted policy is bad policy.

I fully expect the TSA to leverage that wording to their best advantage of challenged. 

At least they kept it out of the Chocolate Mountains. 

The rule doesn’t say “a maximum of one is permitted”, it says *only* one is permitted.
