We all know no cop was “fearing for his life” with someone of Brit’s...demographic.

I hand-timed the video from the car encountering the backside of the first parking space to the bollard. I did it 10 times, with an average of 0.70 seconds. On Google, that distance is about 76 feet. That is 108 fps, or 74 mph.

The Dunlop Bridge at LeMans has siding up so you cannot see the track. There are actually some seems in it, such that from the inside you can slightly see out from the right angles, but they have crazy sharp bird-spikes mounted inside to discourage you from loitering. And the constant flow of people, and the culture…

Yeah, we had a new 2009 Fit Sport manual for 3 years and 85,000 miles, underwhelming as hell. Rev-hang sucked every bit of fun from the manual, ride is chintzy, crosswinds send it in a ditch, gearing has the engine spinning like crazy at 75 mph 3,500 RPM if I recall), and highway fuel economy was like low 30's, a…

Not really, they are all unsafe trash with no regard for the safety of others, be it people or vehicle. My GTI puts my head at bottom “G” in GMC when one of those damn things blows a red light causing my life insurance to be paid out to my family.

I’d never seen the full-frontal view of this thing, and now I kind of wish I had not.  Ugh, terrible.  And to think this will be the last thing many a deer and pedestrian will ever see.

Best/dumbest thing about the giant Suburban parked in front of the $2.5 million custom house is that it won’t even fit in the 3-car garage behind it.

That is Indycar, which has 100X the passing - and individual ability to win a race - as modern F1. Indycar is super entertaining and can race on anything and put on a show where nearly half the field has a legit chance to win. I read a stat in R&T last month that said it’s been 23 YEARS since an on-track pass for the…

Right, seize LaCour’s car for a year and see how ample the process was for him to get it back. I mean, I’m sure he has 2 or 3 other cars to drive, so yet another demonstration about how it’s expensive to be poor in this country. ‘Eff this guy and ‘eff Civil Forfeiture on all levels.

I drive a GTI and my buddy has a Bolt (actually his wife’s), but when we meet up for golf, he brings the Bolt so I can drive it after to lunch or dinner. It is a ton of fun, and with a real tire could be a blast, but yeah, it’s butt, and the interior is light years behind my 2016 GTI. A great concept, once again let…

I mean, you know he is.  You don’t get any sort of power in SA without being chummy with the bone-saw crew.  

This...doesn’t surprise me in the least.

You’re...joking?

As an yet another unnecessary street course, will it be unpredictable chaos like Baku, crazy unsafe like Jedda, or a snooze-fest like Monaco? I guess that is the $700/ticket question.

I typically don’t watch the podium stuff anymore (is it an FIA rule to spray champagne? So played...also the Austrian & Dutch national anthems plain suck) but do the fans at the US venues get to rush the track and hang at the podium like seemingly most Euro races? I think that provides a nice connection. At Canada…

My wife has an LLC, your friend might want to google the phrase “piercing the corporate veil” when it comes to liability and how well he might be protected, or not. Also running an LLC you see how gross can be <<< net, especially with self employment tax. He sounds way out over his skis with 10 cars! I’m picturing…

While it wasn’t Louisiana, the death of Jayne Mansfield in Mississippi in 1967 was caused by dense fog (allegedly from mosquito spraying) when her car ran smack into the back of a tractor trailer. It killed all the adults inside as the car wedged under the truck. Three kids sleeping in the back survived...one of which…

Good on you for being alert. Venmo has added some protection features, but they are not automatic, and people get tripped up all the time. It’s a great, frictionless way to lose a lot of money, and the gig economy loves frictionless-anything. I myself prefer, actually demand, some level of friction in my financial life…

I’d say it’s not definitively scammy, it’s just that in the quest to be cheap, none of the risk is included in the price. There is a reason hotels and real car rentals cost more, the business model accounts for the cost of risk. In the gig economy, 100% of that risk is on the user, it’s a buyer-beware free for all,…

This, you get what you pay for. I think the vast majority of people have no concept of the financial risks and peril the run on a daily basis. From the oddball stuff like this, to Venmo, which is free because you have no protection against accidently paying the wrong person and getting your money back, or…
