I finally got to cross the Isle of Man off my list in 2017 when I went with my dad. He and I had gone to the 2004 British GP at Donington together when we met people who couldn’t stop talking about the TT that happened the month before. I’d never heard of it before, so I bought that year’s recap DVD and was hooked. 13…

The only one it actually looks okayish on is the Audi

I actually really like the look of the new E class AMG wheel they’ve used here. Reminds me of an old spoke wheel that might be on a 50s GT car - and there’s a ton of cool tech in the wheel too (has some quirks to work out but that’s another story). The big loss here is the interior. The design of the outgoing C class…

It’s a lot of different things, and those things just happen to come together with a lot of the many different reasons people are into cars, including some of the snarky comments here. For some it is the esoteric subtle display of wealth, “If you know you know”. But that’s not entirely the case. Plenty of car people…

My high school best friend, who ended up officiating my wife and my wedding, wouldn’t drive other people’s vehicles as if they were his own, he would drive them as if they were rental cars. He smashed in the front bumper of my father’s Chevy Tahoe while off-roading (popped right out... thanks plastic!), would drive my…

I think the camber of most of the corners on that circuit would make it a little on the dangerous side for bikes, especially with the limited runoff. Also, the entire thing would need to be resurfaced and the concrete strips taken out. The circuit layout is amazing, it’s just not set up well for bikes

The only thing that you need to know about Laguna Seca is that it is the only track that should be hosting the United States Grand Prix for MotoGP and COTA is a gigantic piece of shit for motorcycle racing. That is all. 

Shouldn’t this be called, “I was Paul Walker”?

When asked about NASCAR’s declining attendance and viewing figures, President Trump measuredly responded, “Well you know... viewing figures are down for all programs TV wide, so you would expect this sort of dip. They’re actually performing pretty well compared to the average viewership loss across all TV stations!”…

Points off for being sponsored by Richard Mille. The epitome of absence of taste in modern horology.

It looks like what people thought “futuristic” would be in 1972.

They really went to the XR4Ti school of naming with that one didn’t they.

I was at both the Sears Point and Laguna Seca ALMS rounds in 2002, and when Prodrive brought their 550 to Laguna I heard an ear splitting noise the likes I had never heard before from a GT car, and haven’t heard since. That thing was intimidating as hell. I was 16 at the time and had been around motorbike paddocks for…

I was just about to say... isn’t this basically what BR was before they decided to become fully emoji based sports writing.

The left infighting over who can and who can’t be upset over the fact that some asshole drove his car into a crowd of people and killed a woman because of your absolute unhealthy fetish with identity politics. Instead of saying your feelings without the qualification of, “As a white person..” or, “As a PoC..” to…

This sounds awful. The reason why Battlefield 1 was so much fun in the first place was that it eschewed post Modern Warfare FPS “perks” in favor of an approach that rewarded well timed movement and accuracy. BF1 went back to the roots of FPS skill and now they’re going to ruin it by making it just like every other…

What about all the drugged, endangered air people seem to have no qualms skydiving through on all the other dating profile pictures.

More than once I’ve yelled at a Prius driver driving like an absolute jackass with a, “You gave up your right to drive like that when you bought a Prius.” Not my proudest moment but still a little satisfying. Model S and Prius drivers have zero chill no matter what day of the week it is.

Nope. It will either be non HOV times or a stretch of road with no HOV at all. They just sit in the left lane with a clear road ahead and not a car being passed. It’s the Bay Area population influx over the last five years in microcosm.

My pet peeve are the Google/Apple employee buses and/or tour coaches with three axles that just sit in a left non-HOV lane because... I don’t know?
