If it weren’t for the sending-off-into-the-tires of the British grand prix, then, yes, I’d join you in feeling sorry for Hamilton.

eh, i still think the british gp was just as big a deal as abu dhabi. that hamilton fans are still whining about this is a bit hilarious.

If we’re requesting mugs with radio chatter then I want Kimi! “Leave me alone. I know what I’m doing.”

As a fan of the chaos and drama that is F1, I find this hilarious on quite a few levels. In actuality it speaks to the “anything for a buck” mentality that has always driven F1, so how anyone can be surprised by it is more shocking than it happening.

What to drive if you’re wearing a tuxedo or carrying a shotgun, or both.

25 years ago? Hmm, lots of possibilities for a late 70s car to give the restomod treatment...

FD RX-7. Best looking car built in the 1990s. Something about this car’s design just seems so pure and efficient: no excessive styling cues, no bulky fender flares, no idiotic wing -- just a fast and clean sports car.

25 years ago is effectively when I was really into cars. Those high-school to undergrad years when you could still dream about the car you’d buy when you had real money, and limited financial sense. Before reality, in other words, pulled a Lucy to your Charlie Brown of a world view. You’d think this would make it easy…

The E39 BMW M5 was launched in 1998, so duh!

Not living in CA nor do I have State Farm, but when my renewal was up with Geico this March, my 6 month policy went up over 15%. I have a clean driving record. It has steadily been rising for about 4 or 5 renewals and I just thought that was the case due to the economy and COVID and inflation and whatnot. I called…

“Nice 993" I said to the gentleman in the mid-90's 911 Carrera, festooned with Porsche Club of America (PCA) paraphernalia and a Nurburgring sticker, making sure to spell out Porsche’s internal designation for his generation of car as “nine-nine-three” as they do in enthusiast circles.

There are a few odd things in this story that makes it sound like there is more to it than we’re hearing.

in my city many parking lots have occupancy sensors on the ceiling that turns red/green and you can tell from afar which spots are open and they tell you how many vacant spots are for each block/floor

E39 M5 is the best daily driver, if you can afford the gas it uses. I had one in 2016 and it was awesome. With 400hp from a wonderful 5L NA V8, you’re never left wanting for more power or torque. It’s got fantastic AC, a supremely quiet interior, excellent manners at triple-digit speeds, and very comfortable seats.…

Ford GT!!!!!!!

As a G30 540i owner, I agree with you. I would GLADLY buy the G31 if it were sold here.

Presuming I don’t have to pay for maintenance costs, G31 Alpina D5 Touring. Triple turbo diesel wagon goodness in what I would argue is the best-looking 5 series this side of the E39.

I will never forgive whoever decided we didn’t need vent windows any more.

If it was smoked in, I get it. But so many of these had that package, which was nothing more than the lighter and a tiny light in by the ashtray. 

A car without A/C is pretty bad. Worse is a car without AC and heat. That describes the near basket case Lotus Esprit I bought many years ago. It’s bad enough not having A/C in summer... it’s actually worse not having it in winter so you can’t defrost your windshield when it fogs up. But when you have no heat... that…
