Yeah, I’m not sure I understand why this lawsuit is even a thing. SolarCity share holders got their shares converted to Tesla stock when the deal happened. Going back in their price history—which accounts for a stock split they had at some point last year—so the price I’m about to quote will be different than what old

Haters gonna hate.

It is of dubious value if you’re goal is to get satellites into space.

He’s definitely become a driver we all love to hate. Sadly, Haas has become the team with the worst car. I’m happy that RoGro and KMags are gone from there and onto better things. They deserved better than to be stuck at the very back of the grid.

He for sure has been at time polarizing. But part of the reason why so many like him is because of that ‘pulls no punches’ attitude. Right or wrong, you know you’re getting 100% Robin Miller. And in recent years, he’s come into his own. Even doing pit reporting for IndyCar races and a damn good job at that.

Pretty interesting story. Racing, for the most part, doesn’t have a singular female personality that’s always around anymore. For the most part, ‘grid girls’ are just models standing on the grid holding something. They really are there to only be eye candy.

I love wagons from the standpoint of being lower to the ground and ability to handle like a car while still being very practical. The the fact of the matter is, SUVs and CUVs these days aren’t that far off, and the high ride height means you can potentially go more places and buyers are going more and more for that

Yeah, it was pretty insane how quickly it fell from those mid 1990s highs. 1994 had how many F1 champions? 3? Mario, Mansell and Fittipaldi? I think there might have been 1 more at some point earlier in the ‘90s. Piquet?

Yeah, it really was astounding just how competitive late ‘90s CART was with 5 chassis makers and 4 engine suppliers... not to mention 2 tire suppliers. Although there clearly were winners there too. Lola was all but abandoned until Castroneves with the underfunded Hogan team showed it was actually making a good turn

I don’t wholly disagree, though as others have pointed out, part of the reason for the large break is because the Toronto race had to be cancelled because they haven’t rolled out their vaccine program effectively enough to keep their COVID numbers in check...

Exactly! For every day driving, they have great usable power that you don’t have to beat the crap out of the thing to extract that power from it (see: most Hondas from the era).

Here’s the thing. The engine has it where it counts: simplicity, reliability, decent mid range torque for the application and, surprisingly efficient.

Makes about as much sense as any other Soros/Rothschild/Jew-are-bad conspiracy. Or Q conspiracies, for that matter.

both you and @polka1 made the same basic observation. And you’re not wrong. One of the reasons why small farms have had an increasingly hard time competing is because of the corporatization of farming. Just like any small business owner, competing against a large conglomerate with vastly more resources than you have

The right to repair deal hits close to home for me as well. I’ve been working in auto repair shops since I was 19 and am well-versed with how manufacturers can hide important repair information within their proprietary scan tool software. There are OK aftermarket solutions that can get you close, but there will always

This is exactly the type of common sense suggestion that representatives in government seem wholly incapable of bringing to the table anymore. Frustrating.

That was a nice break of luck for Newgarden. How many times was he in control of a race only to have it stripped away in the final laps this year? Two in a row, even. Stripped away in the final laps of Detroit #2 as O’Ward blasted by him. Then on the final restart at Road America as his transmission issue finally went

It largely is urban vs rural everywhere in the country. Showing county by county red vs. blue during a presidential election bares that out obviously. Even in California. There is a surprising amount of red in that state to those who haven’t actually visited the state. They just assume the whole thing is one giant,

To be fair to the constitution, it’s only guaranteeing that the GOVERNMENT is not going to limit your free speech.

Oh, you mean someone other than Jim Harbaugh still buys khakis?? Weird.
