Electric cars are the technology that internal combustion cars superseded. Reverting to electric cars is the opposite of progress, but consistent with being progressive.

I don't think he's just leaving over money, although I disagree with you that money is worthless too. Maybe US currency will be worthless soon, but I doubt he's being paid in it anyway. He wasn't happy at McLaren. They were making as many mistakes with car prep and pitstops as Mercedes was, even if their car was…

I find it hard to believe that the developers of Gawker's comment system have good intent. If they're as incompetent as they project with these changes, you'd think they'd work for the government.

How many times has his car failed while he was running away with a race? Lucky? How about how he beat Alonso in the same team, or is Alonso someone you don't rate either? Button's a WDC. Is being quicker than him most of the time meaningless too? He isn't perfect, but you haven't provided a persuasive argument at all.…

We don't have to worry about that here, because we can always lower our unemployment rate by reducing the number of people we count in the workforce.

Wow. The job market has gotten so bad that you can make your employees work in Detroit.

I like the commercials he did with Tony Stewart, where he clearly seems to have a sense of humor about himself. I wouldn't be surprised if this interview was a hatchet job, taking things out of context and encouraging him to sound vain. They still have old fashioned overt racism there, and Lewis has to deal with…

9 million people giving up and leaving the work force may allow certain propagandists to say the unemployment rate is falling to pre-Obama levels, but it doesn't actually create additional demand for new cars.

Besides, if Romney turned Detroit around, the people that re-elected Obama would feel even stupider.

It looks like they caught him in the middle of having a bespoke suit fitted.

I think David Hobbs and Steve Matchett are dead weight that have expended their anecdotes and haven't had a new insight in a decade or more. The best thing about this change will be a vacation from Varsha.

I miss the mild racism of people that just disliked those that differed from them. This profound racism of people that will support any monster just because they share a skin color is rather destructive.

This is the original Lancia Stratos, so I'd say it was a wedge.

While you have a magnificent assortment of cars, I can't help but to point out that if you also had a 1929 Model J, a 1967 Sting Ray, and a 1984 3.2 Carrera, I'm willing to guess those years would have magically made your list of the best too.

Before BMW turned me off, I was a huge 1988 fan too. Pretty much everything they made was great that year. In addition to all the cool stuff you listed, even the 325 and 528e were one-year-only Super-etas, and standard equipment was at an all time high before they started costing out the cars the following year and…

1967 all the way. You didn't even mention that it was also the last year that the government kept their ignorant tentacles out of the engine bay.

I used to care about whether or not people used Bimmer and Beamer correctly. Then self-recycling materials, Chris Bangle, active ergonomics, iDrive while you try to tune the radio, runflat tires, turbocharged engines, and SMGs happened. Now BMW can fight its own battles.

So it is just fine that this clown let his 6,000 lb penis substitute go unguided, just so long as he hadn't had a drink? At least drunk drivers have the potential to be more competent than captain brain freeze, and 99% of them don't actually run into parked cars at all. We have been brainwashed beyond the capacity to…

Too bad being able to identify a 25 year old racing car by looking at a couple of stickers isn't a marketable skill.

OTOH, what could I be doing with my brain if I wasn't wasting it storing enough useless crap to look at a turn signal replicating decal and think that it reminds me of a car I saw photos of 25 years ago?
