Oh, you poor abused child. Hit a nerve I guess. Well, your no nonsense McLaren also is making no sense in their f1 program. Their road cars, while quite capable, lack the cache and panache of other supercars. Basically, McLaren is a reflection of Ron Dennis, who is hardly someone I would want to emulate. Maybe you…

The movie Grand Prix which came out in 1966, did it for me. That along with Ford GTs and Chaparrals got me turned onto auto racing and performance oriented street cars.

Funny how back in 2008, Hillary Clinton linked vaccines to autism. She of course backpedaled later when it wasn't politically expedient. Obama alluded to it as well in 2008. Funny how nobody is talking about that.

Wow, the car sounds great. I hope it can do well at LeMans. I love non-conformist cars. This is the kind of thinking that drove the Can Am series.

Basically a Ford Probe, which was actually quite a good car. My Friend had a V6 version and I felt that it was a nice balance of power and handling. Yes, these are great cars if you can still find one in half-way decent condition.

Heart be still. I still consider the air cooled version of the 911 to be the best looking. Having grown up seeing 911s evolve from the S to the RS to RSR and then Turbo, these were the poster cars for any enthusiast. The 993 GT2 car is the probably the ultimate hard core, air cooled 911. For that price though, it is…

I have seen McLarens at Cars & Coffee and practically nobody looks at them. I am sure a P1 would be ogled, but not the MP4-12. I take it that you also are a die hard McLaren f1 fan, which I am definitely not. When McLaren had Senna and Prost, then I was a FAN. But, I could not and still cannot stand Lewis Hamilton or…

No, if you scroll up, I believe he was referring to another person who said, "What could anyone hope to do with that car?" Speaking of worth nothing, I think that safely sums up your post.

Sorry, I have absolutely no idea what on earth you are talking about.

NASCAR is a sanctioning body, not an automobile FWIW.

Pretty bold move there by those perps. Reminds me of the Roger Penske/Mark Donohue Lola T70 MkIIIB that was stolen right after the Sebring 12 hour race in 1969. The car had won Daytona and failed to finish at Sebring. A couple of mechanics stopped at the Paleface bar in Daytona after the race while on route back home…

I made it explicitly clear that the McLaren F1 is NOT the sterile, antiseptic McLaren of today. I also made it abundantly clear that they make great road cars, but lack the charisma of a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

We have come full circle. Wally Parks in the early 1950s promoted drag racing on dedicated quarter mile tracks because hot rodding was so popular and people were street racing with their jalopies.

McLaren today is too sterile, too antiseptic, too bland. They make good cars, but somehow, they lack the charisma and charm of a Ferrari or Lamborghini. I attribute much of this to Ron Dennis.

Wait, you are now posting about an article from October of 2014?

Reminds me of Leona Helmsley who famously quipped, "Only the little people pay taxes"!

If you loved the race, bully for you.

I still say, "meh"

Umm, I was referring to NBCSports and before that, Speed Channel. Do you disagree that they have/had too many commercials?

I am usually very excited about the 500, but this year, it all seemed so tame. Maybe the constant nattering of the talking heads is jading my perspective. I like Tony Stewart and his contact with the wall was unfortunate, but all in all, the race was kind of boring.
