What are the chances that some person thinks they got the deal of a lifetime on a manual transmission Porsche?

Hey everyone! I’m the lucky driver being overtaken by the S2K! I got one of the first cars from McLaren and didn’t waste time putting some miles on it. Before I had to leave the US I put 1600 miles on the car road tripping it from Monterey to LA and back and to SF and back to Monterey. Then I did the double track day…

Don’t you mean Eurotrash ?

as a family we were disinterestedly watching celebrity family feud when the pageant began. at miss michigan’s introduction we cheered, rewound, cheered again, and rewound a third time to bask in this heroine’s bravery.

Sounds like a lot of hand-wringing, no? Yes, it’s untested, because... it hasn’t been tested yet, that’s what they’re doing. Surely the risks don’t outweigh the potential gains here? Even if it fails horribly there will be lots of data to learn from.

“Unique looking” is a nice way of saying it. 

Game, set and match, really. Even if your teammate is a two-time World Champ, you’d do well to at least beat him once in quali if you’re in with any hope of being noticed.

I’ve never come to Jalopnik for F1 news, but apparently it’s too much to ask for even an opinion piece to be well-researched...

Sebastian Vettel set the standard by winning his first race with Toro Rosso. All drivers from that point forward have been expected to do the same.

Qualfying against his teammate, Vandornne is 0-14 against Alonso in the same car and Alonso got 44 points till Vandornne 8 points in F1 your judged against your teammate first.

I don’t see how things are much different now? Like inthe mid 2000’s you’d have your Alonso’s and Schumachers then your coulthards, Montoya’s and trulli’s and then a revolving cast of rookies and pay drivers. 

Lexus: Is it me that is out of touch with the market? No, it’s the market that is out of touch with reality!

Mueller is trash along with the rest; he just seems to want to do his job, unlike the rest. 

Trust me, as a fellow fit person, everything is just a long con to be able to post pictures of yourself without a shirt on.

...Wait, do you think Paul Newman starred in Bullitt?

You do realize Steve McQueen and Paul Newman aren’t the same person right?

Newman and Garner were cooler movie star car guys in my book. Just sayin’.

I almost photoshopped a green Beetle into a bunch of these pics.

Another 1000+ horsepower twin-turbo V8. Wake me up when people are doing interesting things with motors again.
