The goofy thing about these little towns is that they’re often situated on highways that have a higher speed limit going into and out of town. This leads to a “step down” and “step up” speed limit transition. Extreme example would be 65 down to a 35 in 10mph increments. The police in these speed trap towns will…
Non-insurance person here: The problem is that if something happened to the teacher, the family could sue the school and probably win. Insurance isn’t about logic or good faith so you have to throw them out the window. The fact is, the car is likely owned by and was built around/in a school sanctioned club by…
Good thing this didn’t happen at Miami. Florida Man would have had some things to say.
I don’t know what tickets for FP1 costed but I’d be pissed if I stayed up that late, spent however much money and got to see a few minutes of action only to be literally kicked out with police escort.
I justify my desire for SpaceX to succeed by telling myself that every success they have is despite Musk’s involvement outside of his money. I can hate Musk, the man and still wish for SpaceX success.
Dodgey logos don’t get Dodgier than a Dodge Pentastar.
If the event is good then it stands to reason that there will be more like it. I think most F1 fans would agree they do not want cheap and blatant cash grabs like this.
“Cratering” aka “Down from insanity to just plain stupid”.
I flew as an unaccompanied minor for a few years before beginning to travel on my own at the age of 12 (the 90s were a different time). On one of my trips, my flight from Atlanta to Charlotte was delayed numerous times to the point where I had to stay overnight. The pilot took responsibility of me. They put me in the…
~30 feet given the Pontiac Vibe is just shy of 70" wide
It will be interesting what the net gain/loss will be once all factors are considered. Sure, the race will attract F1 fans but how many non-fan people (and their money) will avoid Vegas leading up to, during and shortly after race weekend due to the disruption of “normal” Vegas?
I don’t know about “all” races being like this but I definitely agree that Monaco no longer makes for exciting racing but not for the same reasons as Vegas or Miami. Monaco no longer suits the types of F1 cars that are raced but I will say it makes for an exciting Saturday. What I do enjoy about Monaco is the rich…
I can’t wait for the VGP to be a raging failure so it and races like it (I’m looking at you Miami) can go away. These “boutique” races are nothing more than overpriced pseudo-races that’s more about generating profit than having a quality race...a novelty designed to separate a casual fan and their money.
“ restarting the diarrhea carousel all over again”
People’s desire to get things they shouldn’t at prices they otherwise couldn’t far outweigh their sense of self-preservation. It’s not until it all goes wrong that they scream for regulation and demand someone be held accountable because most people lack the ability to be completely honest with themselves.
