Actual question...when you’re shopping, how long does it take on average to examine a car? I’m extremely thorough but sometimes I get giddy and forget things. Like a top-to-bottom inspection and forgetting to ask when the timing belt was done.

You should take a razor to the “NO” and get a vinyl silouhette made of Timothy’s corpse from The Cay. (And put it under the tree.)

There’s so much of the car and its corporate support that was broken, but I really enjoyed it while it lasted. The DeltaWing remains cool.

I’m the kind of person that seeks out bizarre engineering in cars and just stares with the hood open and laughs. I like stuff that barely works but nonetheless exists. I’m ok with being the minority.

Yeah, well I guess I like mediocrity as much as I like dominating success stories. It’s all fun to me.

I don’t think I’m trying to argue the merits of the design, or that it was ever going to work. I just appreciate the contribution made to the great story of Le Mans and racing in general. It might be a footnote, but it’s what I love about racing.

I’m talking about the Nissan LMP1 program that was just canceled.

I don’t think that deserves hate. Modern brats gloating at Nissan’s failure need to be more appreciative of this sort of thing, much of the funding in modern racing tends to be conservative at best, and that produces boring designs. The BRM V16 and H16 engines weren’t huge successes but are recognized as storied

I’d take any of these, and at the very least trade it for some nice beer. What a ridiculous list.

Sure, it makes sense for Nissan to not invest cash in making the car even fully functional. A driver like Max Chilton isn’t a problem, but a symptom of the larger problem, manufacturers not willing to spend big money on racing programs. The scope of innovation is incredibly narrow, it’s exciting to see someone try

This is bad news, and I really don’t understand the hate this car gets. Weird designs make racing great and interesting, regardless of their success. It’s a shame being radically different or even slightly different isn’t really a part of top-tier motorsport anymore.

If you’re not sold on the campaign, I’m sure they could refine the plan by testing it in their home market. Like trials at Nuremberg or something.

I think VW should pursue a marketing campaign with a heavy focus on heritage, putting their grassroots origins front and center. Hard work will set Volkswagen free!

Edsel! Edsel! Edsel!

$4500 would likely send me after a larger BMW airhead, but this is a lot of Italian style for the money. Nice price.

This is the only droid worth the fuss, and one made the cut in VII. I’m happy.

What does eating sand have to do with anything?

He was done really well. I was expecting a cheesy trope of a villain, instead he’s an interesting character, a troubled child...in my mind the best new character. He’s fragile, everything about him is unfinished, from his skills to his lightsaber beam. He’s truly what Anakin should have been. Torn, full of conflict.

It makes perfect sense. It’s a Rolls-Royce. Your driver opens the door for you, and removes the umbrella. The driver opens it for you and you exit, likely never touching the umbrella.
