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…
I did a road trip through the Outer Banks once, and my reactions were, in order:
“Man this place is beautiful.”
“It’s sad this place will not exist in a under a century.”
During Hurricane Ike Galveston Island officials told people who refused to leave to write their SS number on their arms with permanent marker so they could identify the body later.
This. A friend’s wedding was scheduled this weekend on Chincoteague Island, and they just cancelled cancelled it. Too many people coming in from all over the east coast to risk trying to fly/drive TO the beach.
They are having mandatory evacuations from the outer banks right now. If you live there, please take what is important to you and leave. As someone who was a first responder in the Keys last year after Irma (I am in the Navy), EVERY SINGLE RESIDENT I met in Marathon Key who stayed regretted not leaving and literally…
I later got my BS in mechanical and MS in electrical engineering. I work as a drive engineer designing, installing, and commissioning industrial systems for ports, steel mills, large ships, etc. I can go further int depth in regards to the specific issues I regularly run into in regards to bad engineering.
I had so much gear that was just terribly designed, that required monthly maintenance that would cause damage to the equipment, just stupid, labor intensive shit.
2000-2006 I was in. I was refugee, had green card.
It took something this depraved to bump 45 from that spot.
“McElyea and Crawford talked for about two and a half weeks before meeting, and agreed Crawford would pay between $50 and $75 for “oral both ways and just straight sex” with the father watching.”
The Focus Active crossover was going to be a low volume vehicle (fewer than 50K annual sales). Fiesta is still available through 2019 and Fusion for a few more years. And Mustang. There will be more vehicles five years from now than today. Stay tuned!

While that’s probably true, they don’t run race compound tyres at these sorts of events (they’re not allowed to, under the rules restricting testing) so they may not be quite as temperature sensitive as the race ones are notorious for being.
At 200mph, a Formula 1 car could theoretically drive upside-down!
That is awesome! And judging by the price of Lego sets it probably only costs two to three times what a real Chrion costs!
Flat bottom steering wheels were on sports cars that tended to have smaller/tighter/lower seating positions to help getting in and out.
As an FR-S owner I can safely say:
At least donks can occasionally be useful...
Unless there is more to this finely crafted “deal”, this will be a job killer in the USA and Mexico (Canada doesn’t appear invited to the dance). A straight 2.5% tariff for any content level below 75% will just promote the auto manufacturers moving even more items to low cost producing countries to offset the tariff…
Those crossovers and SUVs are also DRAMATICALLY more fuel efficient than the same size vehicles were 15 years ago so maybe they are getting the efficiency they want.
