Eh, I think it varies from person-to-person; some people just have that type of personality where they can only seem to find one person / idea / object that brings them joy, so it becomes everything to them.

I’ll offer up a reason: electric cars are boring. No noise, no changing of gears, just sterile silence on the track which is incredibly dull for spectators. It’s almost the equivalent of watching RC cars race via remote control, just on a larger scale. Keep ICE for racing and use it as a test bed to develop clean…

Can’t speak for anyone else, but of the three cars and one motorcycle I’ve lost (and the three cars and trucks my friends lost) to uninsured drivers so far -

*all* the at-fault, uninsured people who totaled our stuff were remarkably reckless and stupid. One was so drunk he couldn’t stand up, another was doing 80 mph+…

This is why I think Tracy is the last one worth really reading around here. When he writes in length, it’s either about technical details that he knows because he’s actually an engineer, or about personal experience that he actually... well... experienced.

Everyone else seems to be phoning it in more than usual with…

Here’s a different angle from NY Magazine (it might be behind a paywall so here’s the whole thing):

Former Green Beret Highly Skilled at Difficult Extractions

The way I understand it, the whole “Boomers ruined the economy” thing comes from a retrospective view on the Cold War mentality, the ‘70s crises, the ‘70s “white flight” to the suburbs, and the ‘80s Reagonomics trend. It was mostly people who were already in their thirties and forties in the 1980s who not only…

I’m just going to leave this here but:

Yep, who cares if Shelby owned it, he did nothing to it. Had he modified the bejesus out of it, then maybe there’d be something here at that price (yes, yes, it’s someone else’s project, but it would be Shelby’s project).

Imagine the horror when he picks up one of these bad boys:

I take the opposite approach. If traveling alone for a short duration, 1 bag, overhead compartment, no personal items. I hate waiting for the checked bags at the airport.

As Henry Rollins once suggested, airplanes should have a "sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up" sign.

I will mention that I’m not sure the midship configuration is particularly advantageous in an EV since electric motors weigh significantly less than ICEs. 

Honestly, I feel like the buyers of these cars would have more fun with a stripped/prepped Miata and a normal M3 instead of paying for the CS M3

I mean... I’m a fucking know-nothing person who was in the Army once, so maybe I’m not as smart as these vaunted officers of the law, but if the dude has a gun on his lap and you’re so damn concerned about him maybe reaching for it, maybe you should back the hell up and give him space? Like sure: block his car in and…

Living in Beijing I see more and more electric cars every day. More Tesla’s are in my neighborhood than I’ve ever seen in one place anywhere else and even the mail vans and small transport trucks are electric. Not to mention I see more busses are also running on batteries. There are microcars and electric bikes slowly…

My dad just took delivery 2 weeks ago of a brand-new F36 Series 4 GranCoupe that we spec’d personally and waited 2 months for it to be built, and it’s a hell of a car.
Well-built, with nice materials, gorgeous design inside and out, spacious interior with lots of legroom and a huge trunk with great access.
Keep it in…

I think one could easily say that a track had never before seen such a wonderful variety of cars. I hope the event grows more and more!

I was there with the 1998 XK8! So much fun!
