Wish the video would show what the hell these people are hitting, since it’s conveniently hidden behind the damn bush. Or even the article, that would’ve been helpful.

As I told Mike on Twitter, the article absolutely does not omit the Escape Hybrid. It’s also not my job to advertise for Ford. If someone is shopping for a mid-sized sedan, why should they be forced into a CUV? Ford is trying to make customers fit its cars, rather than make cars fit its customers.

Ford sold 3.2…

The third generation MR2/MR-S (ZZW30) had this type of transmission. If you’re interested in it, you could have a look for a used one and give it a shot. It’s not as good as a true manual though:

That was a big one. Also didn’t care for that weird noise they did on the transition anytime they showed a replay.

The picture quality, at least for me via the ESPN Xbox app, was fantastic too.

My dad was an English major in college and a photojournalist in NYC. We used to get to the point of fistfights on my high school and college literature coursework.

So, you’ve got a few factors here.

Used Nissan Leafs are always available for almost nothing.

That was one of the knocks against it for me. Daily SoCal traffic in a manual is hard when you have bad knees. I have them too.

I’ve spent my load on other posts but I will say

Oh I know, but apparently writing whiny blog posts gets page clicks. It’s sad, I know.

And the icing on the cake is you made a Jalopnik article without the article being about some catastrophic or embarrassing fuck-up.

You know, like driving a Mustang out of a C&C event.

You’ve beaten the odds!

The fuck is a downstorm?

Downpour or rainstorm. A downstorm isn’t a thing.

For those who need to scratch the itch, 4:00:

WHOOOOOOOOOSH.

There should have been better communication, even with a last-minute call to change the tire compound, engineers and mechanics should have been in contact to notify of the delay in getting the tires, and they should have let Ricciardo go around one more time.

Or channel more air into the intake. The engineers will find a away to use it to their advantage.

My guess is they’ll just reengineer their YT-whatever vortex off the front wings to account for that. To be honest, most likely they’ll already be trying to keep air off of it anyway, much as they already direct much of the air over or around the driver compartment.

and add some more down force too maybe.
