Speaking of things you don’t see much of....that username is surely the rarity of bolt patterns.   :) 

An aside: can y’all run a poll on Jalopnik taking count of how many readers actually enjoy the F&F series?  Because I swear it can’t be as significant as is sometimes seemingly assumed (or perhaps, so I hope).

Seriously, the proto-C8 used a modified PDK. Last time I checked Porsche still makes a manual....

or the i30 / Elantra GT N. I was seriously following Hyundai’s news releases hoping that the Elantra GT would get the full N-treatment for the U.S. market, but alas all we got was the ‘N-Line’ middling pseudo-N version...

When did we decide as a population that it was acceptable to charge $3.5 million for a car?

You’re thinking about it wrong.

A weekend SO crazy! ....that Merc helped to make great television while not losing a single point in their Driver’s Championship lead. Hhmmm...

Mixed conditions tend to make for more interesting racing. If only F1 could pull off something like this in the dry.

I’m putting this here for when y’all eventually get to test the 2020 Boxster Spyder.  “Is the 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster worse?”

(yes, it’s now the end of July and I’m still going to add this comment — very un-internet’y of me)

Jason: this is absolutely one of your better hot takes.  Bravo.

I look forward to the C9 when GM doesn’t feel as obligated to pantomime the FR aesthetic of the C7.

(I think this will end up being only) 2 complaints:

I thought the Clubman passes the Torch’ wagon test?

Soooo, ummmm.... did I not get the memo...? Am I missing something about this whole “no more new manual wagons in the US”?

Mmmmm, the sweet sweet victory of fresh asphalt.

Reading blogs is hard...

Yes. Absolutely yes. And even more yes because in that photo it’s apexing that corner with no driver — so really, all the more an unintentional foretelling to the current AI-injected (AII? AI2? Ayyyeeeee?) new concept. Admittedly, I haven’t read up about the new one at all, so I don’t know exactly what all Bentley is…

Trinity never looked so good. Oh, wait...
