It already has been thrice, count Schumacher-Hill 1994.  Schumacher’s rejoin right into Hill’s car while leading the championship by 1 point.

Think about someone you love being mowed down by a driver in a Level 2 car playing this game - be it a cyclist, runner, firefighter next to a giant red truck that Autopilot has repeatedly ignored, construction worker, or someone changing a roadside tire. And then think about how stupid you sound with this take.

Can we talk about Pepe Silvia!?!

Right, and these were usually the primitive camp grounds with like 20 spots and an honor system to throw your $10 in the slot for the site you picked.  There would be 5 or 6 people with tents and then always the asshole in the RV making a racket.

Oh man, for me it was Grand Valley, I loved that track. Still to this day it’s my favorite.

I used to camp a lot along the Blue Ridge Parkway in VA and NC, would drive out with my bike and my tent and ride for a long weekend. Nothing like crisp mountain air, dark skies, and a freak’n generator ruining it all 50 feet away. It was sometimes quieter at my house in Richmond.  ‘Eff people wo run generators at…

Yes, the article and the Bill say that.

They have developed a car - and will hopefully produce it in quantity - that appears to be superior to the Model S in almost every way. SPAC financing is in its infancy and I’m sure many hands will be slapped along the way, but I sure hope this does not derail them.  They certainly seem more in the Rivian/Tesla camp…

Lauda refused to race and gave up a championship for his safety and not making his wife a widow; Hami refusing to race and costing a Championship would make him a Legend (more so than already is). T-shirts don’t cut it.

That is a good point. The last thing most industries want is for clients/customers to think the service they provide should cost less. I know I certainly don’t want my engineering consulting clients to think that the trend is for our services to cost less over time! I say that a bit tongue in cheek, but the root issue…

I’m sorry, didn’t mean to specifically attack you in terms of what you were thinking...I think my frustration is with the seemingly universal focus on this average price issue and how that is used 99.99% of the time, it’s misleading. My family personally owns a GTI ($27K Dieselgate discount ) and a GLC300 we paid…

I tried to find data on this but could not, and as someone whose job involves math, I cannot let this stand. If the average is $45K, that does not at all imply that half the vehicles sold cost more than that. If the MEDIAN were $45K, then yes. But it is extremely ease to construct a data set where 9 of 10 values is…

I recommended my wife get a 2009 Honda Fit when her old Jetta died. I wanted to think that car was fun, but man, the flinty ride, inability to go in a straight line when the wind blew above 5 mph, purely meh-level MPG, chronic understeer, buzzy engine, and too-firm seats, it did not have enough fun or storage to…

My 2016 Manual SE with Lighting and 100,000 miles shows at $13,000, exactly half of what I paid in December 2015 as Dieselgate was ravaging VW. $6k off MSRP was their loss, my gain. Still, I would not sell this car for anything, it does everything. It still runs and looks exactly like new, and the VIII’s just leave…

Wouldn’t you pay sales tax to buy another car? Here in PA new cars have the regular sales tax, 6%, so that’s $3,300. The federal EV tax credit for Tesla was $0 in June 2020 so I supposed no loss there.

Sounds smart. I drove a New Flyer transit bus for Blacksburg Transit at VT in grad school. Most were 40' but there was a 35' for a specific route with tight turns, and it felt like a rocket, especially with nobody onboard, and I would normally just floor it whenever I could get away with it. I would think that even if…

Well done.

This sounds like a job for a hovercraft!

This is the boat I’m in too.  I like Hamilton a lot and respect his skill, control, work ethic, all that.  Hell, he took a selfie with my wife at the Canadian GP in 2015 and made her a fan for life.  But come on, I’d like to see someone else win.  Not exactly at the expense of the Stewards handing it to Max, but I…

I think “usually” is a bit strong. I’m only responding because despite my reference to this specific article as “trash”, I really, really do enjoy this site and appreciate the time and thought its writers put into their work. I learn interesting things here all the time, and the commentariot on this site are often…
