It’s hard for people to take things seriously until they start seeing the pain in their own lives. It’s fucked up, but that’s how we are wired. We are wired to listen to that selfish voice inside our heads and shape the world the way we want to see it instead of heeding the actual facts at hand. It’s sad man. I’m glad…

Hard to put food on your table if you’re dead. But then again maybe they’ll have less mouths to feed if they bring home the virus to their families. We don’t know the difference between an actual existential threat and severe economic pain. And if you think people under the age of 60 (or even 40) don’t die or aren’t…

Whoa! Peugeot hiding in the garage?! I applaud your taste in sedans 

If my family and I are going to get sick, I’d rather not have to go to a hospital while they are being suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of patients they cannot handle. A flattened curve spreads the crisis thinner and gives some chance of our medical capacity scaling over time. These are good things for everyone. We are…

Yes money can make most things faster. But no amount of money will make the 4cyl sound half as good as a straight 5. Those delicious sounds can be enjoyed at any speed.

Nope. Other way around. They claimed the Gallardo had its own v10 but that was always suspect. The 5.2 v10 was literally identical to Audi’s. The Lambro SUV and its engine are slightly spicy versions of the platform that Porsche and Audi were already using for their SUV. These is the facts.

It’s crazy how many people think this is a media hoax. Even now that the President is (finally) openly talking about the scale of the crisis at hand. Some people just don’t want to listen to anyone but the dumb voice inside their head. Normally this is harmless, but in this case it helps spread the disease and might…

Recession coming, massive economic uncertainty. Yeah sure, seems like a good time to take on additional debt.

Glad to see you’re doing what you can for the rest of society by staying in and only doing non-essential things to help flatten the curve... 

Wow talk about a simplification. But let’s run with it. Making money selling motorcycles. This is what they they need to do to survive, and also the opposite of what they are doing. If you read their statement, they just quite literally said they were going to concentrate less on selling motorcycles and focus instead…

And in the truest tradition of super/hyper/exotic//superduperatomic/whateverthenewstupidtermis cars, launching in the face of a market crash and impending recession. It’s going to be cool to see the 3 of these they sell on BAT in 30 years.

You obviously haven’t met many Corvette-guys. Or Porsche people. Or Ferrari owners. Or Lamborghini owners...

Also true when you get a rental car with 85 miles on the odo

Neat. Pretty soon we won’t have to use our brains at all when it comes to taking care of the expensive cars we buy. Or even to drive them.

This thing is evidence that people don’t actually want SUV’s. Porsche have taken great lengths to engineer the SUV-ness out of this and make it drive like a sports sedan. I’d throw the keys back in protest. It’s not as good as an actual sport sedan and it lacks the unique driving experience of an actual truck. It’s…

Does it? In what sense? Who will go broke first or what manufacturer will out-spend all others and dominate the series? 

As someone who grew up in TX where everything had a v8 (literally everything from your school bus to the suburban in carpool, to the million pony cars and pickups, to NASCAR and NHRA on TV), I kinda got tired of everything sounding like slightly different flavors of the same fundamental noise. I have the same…

The mazda is bananas, but it’s not as complex or as pleasing to my ear. More like a sport bike gone wild. Those old v12s made noises from their carbs and a hollow rapport from their exhaust that just ticks every box imagionable for me

underrated comment right here

I strongly disagree. I think endurance racing was best when the cars were more strictly tied to road going versions of cars. Even if the racing itself could be crap (which can happen under any rule set), there was a real tie to tangible cars which truly represented manufacturers. Ford v Ferrari would never have been a…
