You’re not wrong at all, I just don’t know how much they’d be willing to leave on the table and how the regs are gonna hit them. Ferrari’s not with Fiat/Stellantis anymore, so that puts them in a particularly tough spot.

It’s usually a safe bet that if a country doesn’t play baseball, they play cricket instead. Between the two halves of the world that picks one or the other that covers a huge majority of the planet, to be sure.

Or Ferrari moves production out of Italy.

There certainly is in the US, as far as I’m aware they haven’t had a ‘small truck/suv’ exemption in the EU.

Actually the ‘spoil the bunch’ part means that you have to write off the whole bunch of apples, because they’re likely already rotting and wouldn’t make it to market.

Yes, the best thing that happened with his version of Thor was letting Taika Waititi write and direct him in a a buddy comedy with the Hulk, to take full advantage of the ‘this character cannot possibly be taken seriously’ factor.

As I recall, wasn’t the Swift Sport the fly & drive rental that you’d get at the Nurburgring for several years? It was supposed to be fantastic to haul around for a beginner at the green hell.  The SX4 seems to have been the slightly beefier US version.

Yep, some generic twin tub washing machine.  Wondered if was the only one who knew what it was immediately.

The dude with the minifridge roped to his back is 2nd place though.

Yeah you can just lower it like anything else, as FriscoFairlane points out it was bumper height issues (so those damned bumpers ruined the look in two completely different ways) but once it’s on the road you can do whatever to it.  Most of the surviving ones have already been lowered anyway, either for looks or for…

Always were. Always disappointed me because they weren’t literally anything else anything I would actually associate with green, like lime or apple.

70s US ride height rules I’m guessing. Lot of european cars were raised up for some arcane reason which really ruined the look.

Isn’t a nonfunctional horn an inspection fail in any state that has inspections?

My parents bought me a car, with the idea that if I learn to drive in the car that I’m going to be driving in the future, it makes sense.

I’m not saying the kids are free of problems.

thanks for explaining a thing that i didn’t know about, and, also never gave a fuck about to begin with.

Fun fact: The front row of the the Austrian GP this year will be two avid sim racers, who have actually participated in endurance sim-racing events on the same team.

Best bit of the whole story, and gives the feeling that he gets that every time he goes to a drummer’s house.

I love the idea of this electric micro-pickup they make, but nobody tell Tracy.

Tsunoda is probably going to stay but at this point the only reason is because Tost likes the kid and wants to develop him. Any other team will pass on him if they don’t keep him (except for maybe Haas, if Mazepin leaves, which he won’t because his sponsorship is nearly infinite).
