Does “airline seats” mean that sometimes your drive is just cancelled, and sometimes somebody obnoxious who you don’t know sits in the other seat and asks to crawl across you every 15 minutes to go to the bathroom?

If it drives great, there’s clearly something catastrophically wrong with it.

I distinctly remember a 1st-gen RX7 race-car build where they described scraping off the asphalt NVH coating from the interior (under the carpets).

This. Might as well add red shells and bananas. All the rest of this is crying that the last break in a season full of crazy luck and officiating mistakes didn’t go the way some people wanted it to.

All of the politicking and the chase aside, letting someone off because the yellow was unintentional seems bonkers to me. Isn’t the point of the penalty to encourage compliance? Do we want a situation where drivers are taking time to evaluate whether the yellow is legit in a situation that will impact safety in all…

Same. I was pretty stoked when he won his first championship, and the first couple of the next run were cool. Now I just want to learn something beyond “Mercedes and Hamilton are really good at this” when I tune in.

I mean, it could be that F1 is full of racists as you seem to be implying, or it could be that the same team has won the championship for 7 years in a row, with the same driver 6 of those years, and some of the fans (and the governing body of a sport which would like to present itself as a contest) would like to see…

1) If you’re in a situation where you’re trying to slow and turn the car, why would it matter whether the rear wheels could have power? In fact, if they are driven and you are off the gas, they will be gently assisting the brakes to slow and straighten the car.

Money laundering in plain sight.

One of the paradoxes that illustrates the power of optimization. Take a 944 in regular need of expensive and/or time consuming repairs onto a track, and it is an indestructible tank. Take a Golf that will run for years with minimal and cheap maintenance onto the track and the front wheels will come off if you don’t…

Bardot is why, per Road & Track and their sources.

I had an R/T. Absolute hoot to drive and a really competent highway cruiser with good mileage, but definitely a Chrysler of its era. I remember seeing the head on a parts list at $10,000 at a time when that was the value of the car on the used market.

Yeah, this seems like a big piece to the puzzle. Hamilton has had the dominant car for years, so he’s had no need to be super aggressive. Verstappen’s car has been on the fringe where aggression can be all the difference.

Fully expected it to be Torchinsky.

Yeah, I don’t like the super-high beltline either.

That Alfa V6 is the Busso and it sounds even better than it looks.  How did the Audi I5 not make this list?  Youngs...

So, now that the fundamental difference between gasoline and diesels is laid out

Re: 1st gear, TFW you realize that the parties are just different marketing agencies for the same corporatist state.
