Ok, we get it. You guys like Teslas.

And yet the Golf R is still faster with only 292 HP... Odd how that works.

Ricciardo looks like a guy having the time of his life.

Can we just stop giving him attention?

Not to the same degree. Not even close. Try to open a business in France or Italy and see how many people you have to bribe just to get your permits issued within your lifetime. We just don’t have that here.

For all their high-minded talk of egalitarian ideals, nobody beats Europe when it comes to cronyism. Especially not southern Europe. It may as well be run by the mafia.

Trump has an idea of how his mouth works and that’s about it. It’s unfortunate that the sounds he makes with it are very similar to some form of English.

You sir are the problem.

I guess you think this article is about other people.

While I applaud their attitude and efforts, Toyota is completely outmatched by the incomprehensible resources and expertise of VAG, which is fielding two teams that represent the top two all time winners at Le Mans. That is extremely hard if not impossible to compete with.

big difference in fast for 1 lap and fast for 700+ laps.

What happened is that a 19 year old blond spent time charming old men like George Schultz and Henry Kissinger to join the board. That allowed her to trick venture capital firms like ATA Ventures to give lots of money. Elizabeth Holmes lied to everyone and circled around FDA loopholes to pretend her blood analysis…

You’d think after fucking up and losing an amazing job, and then netting another amazing job, he’d kinda just keep his mouth shut for a while and be thankful for his good fortune. But no, that’s not how he operates...

What if instead of paying Jon Chait to write, we offer him a scholarship to a university. He can only write for that university’s paper. He cannot do any free lance writing or work anywhere else.

“The car side — we’re just going to be merely better than anybody else. That’s the easy part for a car guy like me.” This is the attitude they’ve managed to cultivate from the beginning. Fuck ‘em. Why the hell are you going to be better than everyone else? There’s never been any explanation for it. The smugness is…

All I could think of during the Faraday Fantasy presentation.

Excellent article, and thanks for the shout-out.

Nissan recent history: stole race car idea, got caught, developed new race car trying to defy physics like Porsche but in the opposite way, failing miserably, and then people are surprised they haven’t got enough class to terminate employees respectfully.

I wanted it to fail, just like the deltawing, simply because it would have put LMP1 into a sad state had it been successful. It was a total flop at LeMans, so it was never going to be anything more than a rolling chicane at any high downforce tracks. They compromised everything for the sake of low drag. Massive front…

Really, Eugenics is where you go? Troll much?
