Do you have any evidence that cars with more than 300hp are involved in more fatalities? (other than Mustangs leaving car shows). It would not surprise me but I also doubt it would be a significant factor.

I have worked on and driven a Stag. It is a wonderful terrible car.

So, how safe is a 70's era Porsche Targa in a rollover? Real safety, feel-good safety, or regulation-dodging safety?

When I ran the ‘Ring there were motorscooters, minivans full of people, and sight-seeing tourists just tooling along. All being passed by supercars and my rental Audi A4.

Facebook (and in your case, Jalopnik) are your friends. When stuck in London needing a brake booster for a 1972 Triumph Dolomite I leveraged my and all my friends Facebook contacts. Some guy volunteered to give me this piece of unobtanium if I drove out to Southampton and picked it up. Turned out to be a great guy…

Tesla. Their paintwork sucks.

You are probably right but with full fairings you would think they could do better.

It has always amazed me that motorcycles get such awful mileage. A Prius will carry 4 passengers with better mileage than a Goldwing. That is just whack.

It works fantastic on my Roku. The last couple of years F1 TV got a reputation as crap for the reasons you stated. This year it has worked perfectly for me on both my Android phone app and Roku on the TV.

That is what tires looked like in the 60's, tall and skinny bias ply profiles. Wide white walls were popular. They just look weird to you because tires today are rubber bands stretched over a wide rim.

The result is the same, hot hydrocarbons, including both carbon dioxide and monoxide, entering the cabin. Most people did not maintain their VWs well enough to prevent this from happening after the O-rings got crispy in a few years.

Andretti has his own teams and drivers and frankly, they get the best stuff. But his second best is probably better than an outsider can get on their own.

Wrong, it is the cheapest way to watch F1. As a cord-cutter, I subscribed to F1 TV for the first time this year. A well-timed single month $10 pro subscription has afforded me 3 races and I just upped for another month. It is easy and it works really well. You can watch live or after the fact. There are highlight…

I like Vettel... and that’s the problem. Since his children were born he no longer has the killer instinct that led to crushing teammates (and everyone else) with head games and sheer race pace. After Multi-21 he was the evil villain that everyone loved to hate. Now he’s a thoughtful, funny elder statesman.

You want to run the Indy 500. You can try to put together a car, team, and the expertise to qualify or you can pay Andretti to do it for you. He won’t take just anyone but if you have a good driver, he will put together a team so you can run. It’s a race services operation. Similar things are done for the 24 Hours of…

Unless of course, lots of teams don’t sign. Then they rip it up and start again.

You don’t sign, you don’t race (in F1).

My Detroit friends often invite me to come to the ‘Dream Cruise’. I politely decline. Bumper-to-bumper traffic of jerks in Hellcats and resto-mods sounds like the third level of hell.

This is the first time I have heard of F1 declaring a part illegal and allowing the team to continue using it. RP will make those 15 points up in a hurry and 400,000 euros is pocket change for Mr. Stroll.

Driving with the windows down IN NEW YORK CITY, is bad for you. Perhaps exposure to all the native pollen, germs, and even pollutants toughens your immune system.
