That’s basically what I’m saying. The inquiry into F1 was a stray bullet coming out of the investigation into LiveNation since Liberty Media owns both.

FOM are being dicks. Good thing they’re owned by an American company now so they can have fun talking with Congress.

They just want to make the cars JDM asf yo! Remember that chime in Initial D when the AE86 goes over 100kph?

I drove one of these for a few days. Ssangyong/Mercedes-Benz Musso. It was incredibly bad. The shifter felt like it could lose its connection with the cables at any moment.

The perfect amount of controlling!

Sounds like Elon could have built four Hubbles and made a better use of the money compared to buying Twitter.

Air is ok, but space seems like an overreach. Does the United States project an image of its outline out into space and claim ownership of everything within its “light cone”?

Nissan bought a controlling steak of Mitsubishi Motors.

The argument I see here is that the SC is saying there doesn’t need to be a new law for this because the necessary provisions already exist under existing law. What needs to happen is a better implementation of the law, like its adherence to ‘timely’.

I’m cool with this. In GT3 and endurance racing manufacturers happily sell the same cars they race with to privateers. Used to be that way in WRC too, but not anymore.

Just gonna drop this here:

He should have just argued first amendment or something. Doesn’t it specifically say that the government can’t restrict his speech? A message on a license plate is speech so the better argument might be that banning any kind of message on a license plate aside from those that mess with the computerized back-end would…

I remember when Williams were testing out their CVT. Spooked the rest of the F1 teams and the FIA promptly moved to get it banned.

What’s unlocking that extra range gonna do for the longevity of the battery? Wasn’t keeping the battery soc (state of charge) within healthier limits the main reason for sealing it away in the first place?

Rear facing probably makes them safer. In the event of an accident the seat is already stopping the passenger’s forward motion, and supports the head, neck, and spine. Forces are also spread out across the whole body instead of being concentrated in the lap and shoulder belts.

Check out the top reply to the first tweet. It looks like the parts are available for $2,668 for the rotors and $45.90 for the pads. That’s some serious mark-up if true.

ARB makes Air Lockers for these if you want to build a true triple-locked CUV.
