If the dealer just meets the financing I was able to find elsewhere, I’m still not going with the dealer. Because fuck dealers, that’s why. If dealers want me to use their financing, they need to beat what I can find elsewhere.

The USPS doesn’t need some whoopass-custom designed from the ground up when a perfectly viable alternative platform is readily available and will continue to get cutting edge updates as they become available.

This year, Haas will supposedly have more upgrades than they have in the past.

How is McLaren not considered a backmarker this season? Nearly every single ranking list I’ve come by (Buxton, The Race, ESPN) and my own eyes has me guessing that they’ll be one of the back three.

It’s not scripted, but it’s edited/cut/displayed in a disingenuous way and always has been.

I’m all for allowing a motorcycle license at 12 if a person can demonstrate knowledge of traffic laws. You ride on 2 wheels for a while and suddenly you pay attention more on 4.

Yeah, add it with the screens and it just reeks of Fast and Furious or Pimp My Ride.  It’s tacky as fuck.

F1TV initially hypothesized that this was due to cost cap reasons, but that’s not quite true; travel expenses aren’t covered by the cost cap, since travel expenses aren’t directly related to the development of the car.

Designing it so you need a phone? No thanks. Making the phone an additional option?  Sure.

I thought that regulation wouldn’t have even applied in this case because the train was too short.

My general feeling with touchscreens is that they are good for menu based things. My problem with touchscreens, is that it often means everything is put into a menu whether or not it should be in a menu. Changing radio settings, or things like how long the lights will stay on after I lock the car? Great use of a…

Yeah, as long as you basically said “I’m spending $50k”and thus compared similar class vehicles in that price range, I’m guessing the EV will always win because electricity is generally cheaper given you aren’t charging at DC fast chargers, and the EV potentially comes with a big tax incentive.

Man, if CR didn’t miss the opportunity to turn their article into an actual tool that you could enter info into.  What car you’ve got and the car you want to replace it with (or maybe just the two cars you are looking at buying; one ICE and one EV) where you live, maybe some more information, and it gives you a quick…

Would you like another library right next door to maintain?

I get your point, but people often forget who has to pay for the library 10, 20, 50 years from now.  I mean, I support libraries and think they are needed.  But at the same time, just building libraries for the sake of libraries can mean some town or city is now stuck footing the bill for it from then on.  If it’s a…

Dat 660hp (188hp/L) is pretty impressive though.

450hp and 510lb-ft from 3.5L, giving 128hp/L and 145lb-ft/L

How about a carbon tax too?

But a lighter driver doesn’t result in a major ballast change is my main point, since there is that 80kg driver+seat minimum.

I think you are confusing two things. There’s a minimum driver+seat weight, and there’s a minimum vehicle weight.
