Fantastic article. Two nitpicks...

Even with the GIF and the second sentence immediately stating the opposite?

Car Talk is forever the perfect program because it’s permanently stuck in an era of cars I fully understand and can work on.

The sounds of Circuit de la Fart were not as loud as Circuit de la Sarthe.

Bizarre. Mine was nearly flawless. I don’t recall missing any of the race, except for pooping but I had the door open and the sound very loud. :)

Yeah, sorry, no. I’ve watched lights go through nearly two full cycles because the first three or four people stopped at the red were still looking at their phones and had transcended to an oblivious state almost deserving of euthanasia.

I wonder if they’ll eventually make a Long December rocket.

Just in over the wire from Spymaster Eddie Jordan!

They’re 1:18 scale.

They’re very early 99 seats so not much larger than the original 96 seats and they look very similar. The very late 96/95s in Europe had 900 seats!

My ‘79 Prelude, ‘90 CRX Si, and ‘89 Civic all had seats that screamed “please get off of me.”

Saab really made great seats. I have 99 seats in my 96 and I’m fine for hours on end.

How’d that consultant job go at Saab?

I’d do it if Daniel Ricciardo asked me to.

Were your parents tires?

Wow, reminds me of watching my Dad’s ‘67 Mustang dragster start up as a kid. My brother and I would stand on the other side of our very large yard holding our ears and I think we’re still partially deaf.

And murder! Don’t forget our murders!

I’m sure there’s someone screaming into their phone or monitor, tears streaming down over a dripping nose, “MY CONTINUATION IS A REAL COBRA!”

As bad as I feel for McLaren, I feel worse for Sauber. I hope the 2018 engine is a radical change from this season’s norm but optimism can’t be at the forefront of Monisha’s mind.

Just the 93/96, which are essentially the same car prior to the V4's introduction.
