How many manufacturers in the volatile solar economy will still be there in 25 years?

France has started making job retention plans.

That Law and Order thing is why it was such a tragedy when they cancelled the original show, because that series was basically a welfare system for NYC actors. Some big names showed up in four or five episodes as the generic witness extra. It’s a lot of fun to watch the old episodes and go ‘holy hell is that Idris…

A base or mildly ‘sporty’ Civic is the definition of an appliance, though.

Update:

Tough to compete when you’re based in England during the Thatcher years and your competitors are flush with cash during the Japanese real estate bubble.

It’s also import limits and the good ol’ chicken tax. That being said, Alpine (and perhaps Lotus going forward) may be able to take advantage of the new small manufacturer classification that SCG are operating under?

Surely there are already Traffic Jam Simulator 202x games out there?

The car wasn’t the issue, the problem was the tire strategy.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with that, it should be readable by anyone with a trunktracker scanner (scanners are not transcievers to anyone who doesn’t know, only receivers).  It’s just nuts that a place as ridiculously bad about cop things hasn’t done that.

Nick Cassidy is probably up for a test.

It seems insane that a city the size of Chicago hasn’t moved over to trunked and encrypted emergency radios, is there some reason? I seem to remember that some of NYC’s emergency channels were kept basic because of signal penetration/propagation needs in the subway, but that was years ago and I may be misremembering.

Nah, ‘evo’ has been around longer than that, it’s like GT except for rally cars. Delta Integrale Evo II, 205 T-16 Evo 2, etc.

The management is bad and it seems like they’ve specifically set up their camera angles to completely eliminate any perception of elevation change, which makes it look boring.

Worth pointing out that Paretta is technically a weird sort of Penske sub-team, where from what I understand due to Roger’s sponsorship/friendship wherever Paretta had trouble finding a qualified woman to fill a role for whatever reason, the men who showed up were wearing Penske uniforms and were seen in other Penske…

There’s a long thread on twitter in response to this video by a biologist/conservationist who did her post-grad work with bobcats and the whole thread is worth a read if you haven’t seen it (and maybe a forward if people are dumb enough to think these creatures are anything like housecats. They can’t cross-breed and…

I don’t know what to think about the race this weekend, given how Aston is pitching a fit over the aero tweaks for this year and Aston’s design is derivative of the Mercedes high-rake design, which seems to be causing both teams problems.

I mean, yeah. Hopefully it’s just a .22. But: America.

Bobcats are no joke and your neighbors are dumb as hell.  I’d probably have asked if anyone’s had any pets run away recently, because, well, bad news on that.

Taki’s got a good sense of humor and settled in to helping coach younger drivers. Plus, very quotable.
