Same here. Unapologetic fan of Hamilton, as well as Massa, Kvyat, Ric, Sainz Jr., Magnussen & that incredible reserve Stoffel Vandoorne. As long as they’re having a solid race I’m happy.

Indeed, he’s amazing. I still remember the dummy he sold Vettel in their year together. At Monza, or was it Hungary? Will never forget that move.

As a fellow Virginian, I also recommend that you stay away from here. Traffic, taxes, bad drivers... I could talk all day. The property tax, even on my 13 y/o vehicle, is still like $85 annually.

Very good tip about that piston spinning tool. Damn near went insane trying to C-lamp the rear calipers on my Mazda 3 till I did what I should’ve done first: research it on Mazda 3 forums.

If I could sell it, it would be worth at least that much, especially with the mods I’ve made to it. But it’s been involved in 3 accidents, 2 of them pretty serious, so no one would probably buy it.

My dumb ass learned this the hard way.

Precisely. It’s only because the big boss was there.

Damn straight. 4G63 is capable of 1,000HP with relatively few mods according to an old article from the dearly departed Sport Compact Car magazine. I’m partial to the Evo IX MR myself.

Hell of a save from Wehrlein, tho, if one can call it a save. Relatively simple repair for the team, I would imagine, rather than frontal or rear damage.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy really IS epic. Just re-listened to it Wednesday while at work and can honestly say there’s no weak track.

I hear you. I'm a diehard Mitsu fan - I have one - but since the moment my brother purchased an STI, Fuji Heavy has been whispering to me in my sleep.

You may have the right answer, though I don’t know much about suspension geometry. But when I changed my factory springs to Eibachs on my Mitsu, which has a stiff chassis already, (at least compared to other vehicles I’ve driven) the suspension travel diminished immensely, such that jacking up one wheel will raise…

Blob eye? Never heard of that. Still, you’re on Jalopnik so I’ll give you the benefit of doubt. *to self: blob?*

I heartily agree with you. As one who’s mostly driven rust-buckets, my first new car was magical and - don’t kill me, Tavarish - I will try and buy brand new from now on. Sure, my wife bought a used Mazda 3 which I love driving, but I want a WRX or STI, and there’s no way I can purchase a used one.

Demigod or not, he’s living the life. His custom-built Zonda is particularly drool-worthy:

I honestly don’t understand how he does it. Does the man even sleep? You’d think he’d be exhausted but he always brings it on Sundays. Been fan of his, especially after watching old footage of him in GP2, and I hope he doesn’t burn himself out.

Came here for this, and I leave satisfied. The sheer number of buttons on the steering is enough to boggle the mind, not to mention the unassisted brakes, poor visibility, awkward sitting position, high temps, e.t.c.

I was sure something was broken when I first watched it and was amazed when he actually stood up on his on strength. He must’ve been hurting something fierce last week though, F1 driver or not.

I LOL-ed, thanks.
