I take it you’ve never owned one?

Now, I’m not talking about it’s offroad prowess which stands for itself -- and is often how the press tests it as well. Reality is people pay stupid amounts of money for something they will never take offroad, just for looks. 

Theres no logical reason to own anything but a Corolla, and yet here we are.

Chances are it is full of unique parts made from expensive materials. So a $20k brake job or a $6k steering box sounds about right. 

There really is no logical reason to own one of these. The popular consensus among high end collectors and enthusiasts who have experienced an SLR is that they aren’t very good at anything except covering long distances at very high speed, for which they are fantastic. But so is a new S63 AMG which has interior space,…

Nice shit analogy, Keon

Homeboy put a modern WILLIAMS on the podium at Azerbaijan, only a few tenths behind a mercedes, who passed him at the line. He also won several lower formula championships. Stroll might not be senna, but he deserves to be in f1. Every driver comes to f1 with backing money, its just usually a corporation and not…

Agree on your point about Stroll. Last year for sure he proved that he’s quite capable. I doubt he’ll ever be world champion, but he can certainly hang on his own merits at this point.

I’m assuming there’s a German word for being happy about others misfortunes?

Honestly, Paying $675K for a fully designed and tested monoqoque is pennies of R&D. Now design an EV drivetrain/purchase one in, and you could be producing cars pretty quickly. Selling them might be harder, but thats true for everyone.

Damn, David, I’m not one to gush, but this is the kind of content that keeps me coming back. It’s not just a report of “Here’s something that happened” but rather it’s a dive into why it happened, complete with sweet sweet math to back it up!

RV Driver: “Wow, this thing is really struggling.”

That’s a great question.

At a certain point, the tires must have been dragging.

What I don’t understand about all of this is how did the driver of the RV not notice the drag which must have occurred. Seriously, what kind of RV has the power to, basically, drag this Jeep that fast? 

Maybe the one where she scares people the most with. RIP Sabine...

They have GOT to name a corner after her....... 

Well this is horrible news...so young. And yes, that Top Gear ep where she thrashes the Transit van around the ‘Ring has to be one of their all-time best—Sabine had such an effervescent personality. She was just too cool.

I woke up about 15 minutes ago, turned on my phone, and this was the very first notification I got.

There’s no stopping the inevitable march to all electric/alternative. Ford may lose plenty of "conservative" V8 buyers, but they'll gain other buyer demographics. One has to wonder what all these truck nut bros are going to be buying in 2040, but I'll let them deal with those mental gymnastics

It will be so nice when people quit pretending that loud = fast.

Especially Mr. 3am Motorcycle McTinyDick.
