ACO has good reason to work to make this succeed, since the biggest driving force (heh) has been the manufacturers who want to go back to Le Mans but who were scared off by the LMP1 expense. Ford, in particular, has apparently been pushing hard for this. The hybrid units were the biggest stumbling block (manufacturers…

One of your co-drivers forgets to use the pumice stone on their feet in the shower and it’s thousands of pounds in weight-saving effort thrown in the bin.

So is this why they’re posting huge losses each quarter?

The CoE’s conservatism is more ‘dont rock the boat’ conservatism, not ‘death to the unbelievers’ conservatism.

They’re CKD kits already, shipped in from India and put together in Michigan. You could probably convince them to sell you one as a kit, if for some insane reason you didn’t want their time-tested and stupidly reliable 2.5L diesel engine.

That’s kind of how most American “manufacturing” works these days, given that parts are sourced globally.

I once worked at a company that had more VPs than normal employees.  Including the custodial staff.

That’s pretty much all he ever did, really.  Man didn’t hardly invent a damn thing.

Let’s be honest here: Do you want an airbag that old blowing up in your face?

At $2700, if I had that kind of money to kick around, I’d absolutely buy this clapped out italian jeep knockoff.

I don’t think they’re paying to send them there. Not union members, not under the Spanner.

Those were the sort of commentariat chatrooms I was giving you a pass on.

The long life is the massive advantage, from what I recall hearing they also remember paths to things, like, say, the store extremely well.

Also, if we’re honest, your coverage was basically watch it and make some comments the day after.  I’m not expecting a chatroom, but if you actually care about motorsports events (which happen on weekends) perhaps (if jalopnik survives) you could aim for a weekend editor who can do regularly updated posts along the…
