I wonder how much of a stretch it would be to charge Trump as an accomplice/instigator attached to the inevitable violent/criminal charges coming out of this.

That was my thought. This is both unbelievable as an American, and yet completely believable and logical as the realistic endgame of what he’s been playing at since he announced his run for office.

This craziness is stressful as hell, so I just took my brand new Giulia Ti Sport Carbon out for a stress-relief drive. Even with a literal coup attempt happening, it’s one hell of a fun car.

I’ve seen a few of them in the metal and can confirm they are absolute masterpieces.

As a watch guy, I’m very curious what kind of watches these buyers wear. Rolex and Patek wouldn’t line up... Grand Seiko?

Bugatti Chiron, entirely in black, on Christmas Eve the day they came out. It was just cruising around on the highway in CT.

Oof I hope not, for both of them. There was a blog post on here the other day about your most memorable racing moment; I’m a Hamilton fan, but my most memorable moment was the ridiculous Ricciardo/Verstappen rear-end collision at Baku that knocked them both out a few years back.

Money.

Not necessarily, at least not as a replacement per se. I’ll always be a fan of Hamilton, I have been since his first season, but if he leaves I think Ricciardo would be my new favorite on the field. Russell seems like a good dude but it’s too early to say if he’d become a favorite.

Not me! I knew I recognized the wheels as not-VW but couldn’t place where. Probably because I never would have even considered Volvo as a possibility.

Nope I’m just genuinely curious, I’ve never met a car enthusiast who feels so strongly that this is a bad idea or detracts from the car in any way.

Genuinely curious why you feel that removing a few shitty plastic chrome badges immediately turns an excellent luxury car into a shitbox.

My new Audi with the badges removed is a shitbox? Was my previous car, a then-new 5-series, also a shitbox? I leave whatever is centered (rings, roundel, Porsche crest/Carrera badge) but anything offset goes just for the cleaner look.

TIL, thanks for the correction. Mid-70s cars have mostly rusted away in the northeast where I live.

Is that a Belvedere? I thought it was a Volare.

We’re always going through either Parks or The Office as a passive background show for when we’re tired or don’t want to devote full attention to a show. For a large subset of people, repeat-viewing of positive content is nice when the world is insane like this; myself and my fiancee have found that a lot of others…

Peacock has Parks and Recreation, and will have The Office starting Jan 1. Immediately vaults it into the top-tier service level, original content or no.

I saw the original version of your comment where you were quoting Bradley’s comment that Bottas won’t be a championship-caliber driver.

It’s not happening at a broad scale on any kind of near-term timeline. Maybe we’ll see geofenced automated driving cars in dense urban areas with gridlike streets (think Manhattan) within the next decade, but it won’t be a significant amount. The amount of “edge cases*” most human drivers have to deal with every day…

I’m fairly confident that the locks on all three of our cars are pretty solid. None are off the shelf at Auto-zone. Also they’re garaged and seldom parked in questionable areas.
