You must be new to racing. Old F1 quali tires used to last just a few laps. 

This is not really an intelligent comment and it completely disregards any sense of nuance or appreciation for the complexity of the situation. As a baseline we need to acknowledge that Pirelli were instructed by the FIA to build a series of high degradation tires and they’ve done so. Which subset of these tires is…

How did the hybrid trinity move the game along in any way other than a small increment? The Porsche was doing some interesting torque vectoring things sure, but hybrid tech trickled UP to those things from the common commuter. Bleeding edge cars should result in trickle down tech and should not be surpassed in…

lol yep that was dumb of me

3500 for a truck. Meanwhile BMW cant build an M2 at that weight... wtf bmw

The Defender looks like they changed the name from Discovery at the 11th hour, rather than make an actual Defender. 

Serious answer here. You right we cannot lock down indefinitely. And we have done a shitty job managing our exit from lockdown. Kind of like eating really healthy for X amount of time because you doctor said you need to bring your cholesterol down. And then going out and eating a big bucket of KFC every day for a week…

I think you’re over reading into this. Seeing people being reckless and having increased fear based on that is a pretty normal reaction. That’s not to say that he didn’t have fear before. It’s reasonable to have less fear when everyone you’re encountering is behaving more responsibly 

Same here in DC. Seems like everyone under 35 is running around without a mask and trying to make this as normal of a summer as possible. People also seem to think that being outside an the antidote for any kind of spread. Lower probability of spread in certain circumstances or lower risk of death for certain infected …

BOTH. This is the correct answer. You can’t take your money with you when you die and your kids will be forced to learn countless valuable life lessons on self reliance and resilience if you cannot pay for their education because you’ve been slowly bled to death by this stunning, stunning thing

This is the truth. Even a fundamentally reliable older car will have little things that need attention. How a person views these little things is a litmus test on whether you should be driving a new car or not: is it either a) death by a thousand cuts or b) some fun low risk little car projects that keep you…

Holy fuck this is hilarious and terrifying

Agreed. I’ll never forget sitting on a scorching hot bleacher and watching a 333sp take the win at TWS back in 95. That sound entered through your chest reverberated through your whole body. Glorious

That cold be argued, which is why he needed to delay getting on the throttle as this is your only tool for maintaining or tightening a line when you’re out of lock or grip to increase steering. You cannot just drive through the rear tires outside car when. This wasn’t Seb who was out of control when he arrived at the…

At the time of his promotion to team principal, Binotto was leading the dept that was the biggest weakness of the team. Since then technical has remained puzzlingly out of step, and the strategy/organizational/decision making has taken steps backwards... Maybe I’m scapegoating, but his position is where the buck stops

My company builds network security appliances, I know how this works. We license many of our features via software. This does not change the cost of making one of our boxes. Economies of scale might have been an argument 10 years ago when BMW maybe needed specialized hardware to run different software images... But…

Cars sitting out-and-about are already manufactured. It makes updating the small number of cars that are in transit to dealers easier certainly, but that’s a relatively insignificant number comparatively. But it also stops you from having to go to the dealer for an update after sale... So it’s actually taking margin…

A Mazda Subaru merger would actually be interesting on all fronts. Mazda has by far the tech advantage and Subaru has that sweet crunchy consumer space nailed down. If Outbacks funded the future dev of Miatas and Mazda tech helped Subaru n/a engines not be the WORST, WEAKEST GARBAGE on the market, this could be a good…

This doesn’t change manufacturing costs, the features this pertains to are purely software. It’s activated or it is not. Whether it is activated with up front purchase or incremental subscription has zero bearing. The underlying hardware is the same. They are trying to becomes something they are not, a tech company.…

Green nudes? Please go on
