To be fair, his son died of cancer just a few months before the last presidential election cycle started. I can understand Joe’s head and heart not being in a presidential run after that.

After spending a few days in this Datsun I do have strong fondness for them

What I’d read on facebook was that the jacknife broke the line and left him stranded in the road at the top of the hill. The police asked him if he felt like he could get it down the hill and off the road and he said yes.

I can’t remember the details but reports at the time were either that he stalled it or he didn’t trust his ability to ride across without falling (he was very much an amateur)

Instead of waiting for the rider to get out of the way in a water crossing he decided to push his way through. He pinched the rider between the car and the rider’s bike, bruising the rider and forcing him to drop the bike. The river flooded the bike forcing the rider to retire from the rally

You do know he intentionally ran into a moto rider in 2012, right?

You forgot the bit about how it wasn’t as fun to drive as a Baja Bug

I didn’t say homologation specials were a thing, I said homologation was a thing.

Homologation has changed, but it’s very much still a thing

It passed homologation so I highly doubt it’s traction control

Different car

I thought it was 1-800-GOT-WOOD

Due to regulations they’d still have to crash test every combination, even if they are off the same line. And crash tests can run about $100,000 each.

In NASCAR both racers are surrounded by cages

Nope. Traction control’s illegal in rally. The sound is antilag

Obligatory

In addition to what WildcatsLodge said about the Sainz in the video not being the same Sainz as the one in F1 (it’s the F1 driver’s father), the Sainz in the video is sponsored by Red Bull (and has been for a good decade)

Anyone else find it telling that Donny is so outraged by cars built in Mexico but doesn’t seem to give two shits about ones built in Canada?

I may have flipped an actual table when I found out they canceled Uprising
