This will be a German-engineered transmission, not an American one, where simply another gear was added...

No, it’s not just you.

Hert smashing Shitcar gets me every time. This is hands down the best automotive content on the internet. Sorry Roadkill.

Don’t forget their Circle Jerks game, which is the epitome of all burnout-in-a-small space games. It is no joke to rip doughies so tight!

I love Jalop readers.

Watchmaking is an art. It isn’t just the fact that a watch keeps time. Digital watches exist because they’re cheap and fabricating an actual movement requires skill. This thing fits on your wrist and has 67 jewels and over 400 parts. It isn’t for the man who just needs to know what time it is, and a Singer isn’t just…

This is quite a sad viewpoint to hold, and I’m disappointed that it’s becoming more & more common in today’s society.

The preferred nomenclature is timepiece.

Craftsmanship. There’s a premium for that just like with a Singer auto. The movement in your $80 Bulova paled in comparison to something like this. If you look in the piece, Wiederrecht had been working on the new movement for seven years. You can go 200+ mph in a Nissan or you can do it in a handmade exotic, ya know?…

Is a Singer still a car, by your rules? It costs a hundred times more than a generic 10-year-old Toyota, but it won’t get you to the office much quicker and won’t carry more people or luggage. The Singer is a luxury upgrade; conspicuous consumption. And I’m fine with that.

“horror” threads

Wasn’t this weekend’s CNBC commercial block with limited Formula One interruption just wonderful?

Yes, yes, please don’t flip the Valkyries.

If you drive a car which requires premium, but you can’t afford premium, then you are driving a car you cannot afford to begin with.

Its absolutely the norm in any racing to “check up the field” right before a restart. Both to let the safety car clear, and to get an advantage of the accordion affect on your start. As the leader, you set the pace, and if that’s 5mph then that’s what the field has to go. The anti-Hamilton bias around here is crazy.

Since you are a Senna fan, as I was, you can or should be fully able to admit that he was guilty of the same kind of antics and pettiness in his battles with Prost, both on and off the track.

Hamilton can be annoying, but Vettel behaved like a petulant little shit.

This conflict is going to be amazing. They’re both exactly the kind of divas you expect an F1 champion to be, and it’s great.

Watching Lance Stroll get his first podium was more exciting.
