I have never seen a team melt so fast. When the FIA took away their illegal oil-burning engine, maybe they just fired everyone because they knew they would be bad anyway.

Your could argue that the Cybertruck is “modern design” because it has no nonfunctional facades or needless decoration. Like most modern design it is cold and uninviting. It is vehicle brutalism.

Two problems with that: 1) Haas might be hoping Mazepin pulls a Stroll and daddy buys the whole team one day. 2) Perez is probably smart enough not to take the job.

I absolutely loved the prototype. The delivered product, not so much. If you are H-D and delivering a premium product from a premium brand, it should be easily distinguishable from a generic Chinese E-bike. Product good, marketing bad.

Cruises are bad for passengers, crew, the environment, and their destinations. They are crack cocaine for people who equate overindulgence with entertainment. JUST SAY NO!

I was sure David was trolling us with his rusty crap cans but I am now convinced he just has a tolerance for disorder and an ability to ignore impending disaster that borders on a clinical pathology. And I’m just fine with that because it makes my symptoms look much more manageable.

Slingshots are like buggering sheep. It might feel good but what if your friends see you doing it?

Devil’s Advocate. If a major automaker had purchased Tesla they would not be worth what they are today. They would have made less mistakes but would not have progressed anywhere near as fast.

What could be more dumb than Unsafe at Any Speed? And guess what, unsafe cars are CHEAP!

The mind of the Torch is one scary place. Never change.

I admire Mary Barra’s intelligence and accomplishments. As an engineer, she wants all the data, multiple backup plans, and doesn’t want to commit to anything until she has to. That cautious approach avoids mistakes but sometimes a leader has to lead. This might be one of those times.

The British press really want Russell to be the next Lewis Hamilton, without that embarrassing low-class background. Personally, I’m not seeing it. Russell can qualify well but goes backwards in the race. He’s a posh British Bottas.

David Tracy articles should contain a lockjaw warning.

It’s a euphemism, moron. You can decide for yourself if you think there is an afterlife. I won’t make that presumption for anyone else.

Fiddly dee, that boat ramp is around here somewhere.

For Amphicars, high speed aerodynamics are never an issue.

Our fascination with keeping people alive long after their expiration date is ridiculous. It is demeaning for the person, emotionally and financially draining for the families, and a very inefficient deployment of precious health care resources. Many of our old people have a terrible quality of life and would welcome…

This looks well designed for a track driving school that puts thousands of hours on a car. Individuals do not need that. Personal track cars are about fun per dollar (Miata, C5) or performance and bragging rights (GT3, Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren). This has neither and you are paying for reliability and strength over…

More pure. Less safe. Less opportunities for track time unless you go racing.

I once had a meeting at the Chrysler Chelsea Proving Grounds. I was told not to show up in my Toyota Tundra so I borrowed the only Chrysler product I could find from my 80 year old aunt - a PT Cruiser!
