Understandably, this was the heat of the moment, filled with frustration and aggravation. Verstappen was caught up in the heat of the race, fatigued, and worn down with exhaustion.

Amazing the level of safety in place when potentially catastrophic failures happen. Glad to here Brown’s okay after that incident.
Yep, if the layout eats up the tires, as I just found out, it’s a good idea to retire it.
And that would explain why it’s no longer used. Thanks!
Some say it’s an expensive training aircraft.
That looks like a very durable and stable setup. I can appreciate modern a-arm IFS setups, but for a truck, this looks like it would be more durable.
This should still be entertaining as hell to watch.
You’re simply following the 4 main rules of gun handling (there are quite a few more, but these are the four main ones that stick with me):

I don’t compare the Panamera to the Challenger Helical, I compare it to the Charger Hellcat. The Charger Hellcat is a fluke of engineering, one which tops out in excess of 200 mph. I can’t say the same for the Panamera.
True, true. By the way, and as I imagine you well know, Magnas are awesome bikes. I had the pleasure of owning one, it’s one of two bikes I regret parting with.
Not to be cliché, but I feel this is one of those roads paved with good intentions. This feels like what led the U.S. into Vietnam.
When I look at a car like a Mondial, I also look at other sports cars of that era, and for me, I also think about other ‘80s mid-rear cars I tend to look at are the MR2, the Esprit, the DeLorean, and the Fiero.
I think with the way Tesla has shaken up the automotive industry, the big players have taken notice, and are shifting their engineering focus. The newly-developed concept sedan Porsche penned up is an example, and I think we’ll be seeing more, not less, efforts from other automakers.

I can see it now: race starts, LeMans-style. Driver sprints to the car. He flings the door open, gets in the seat, goes to crank the car...nothing. He tries again...nothing. He tries a third time, looks at the dash, smacks his hand against his forehead and has to sprint back to the pits to get the key he left in the…
Your username gave me an idea: Diesel. It could be a fun way to mess with friends that have diesel-motivated vehicles.
Good point, had not thought about that aspect. Most of the high-dollar Mondials I’m seeing are in near-perfect condition with substantial service records available.
Fresh Burnt Rubber, Old Ford Scent (after a certain age, Fords just have this...scent...to them. The same scent in both a ‘66 Galaxie sedan and an ‘86 F-250), Fresh Brewed Coffee, Pipe Tobacco, Gunpowder. Mix ‘em all together and you get a modern retake on an old western.
