Yeah I’m digging the new owners of F1. Maybe its just that Bernie was such a piss poor, dumpster fire of a shitty owner that he makes the new guys look so good.

Particularly if you hit anything bigger than a mosquito

The Mooch is the best thing to happen to the Trump white house since inauguration day. Here’s a character thats so OTT he’s actually fun to watch. The Trump presidency’s been over for a while - Trump himself is clinically insane and everybody knows it so he has no power and won’t get anything of significance done. At…

This doesn’t seem new. In pretty much every other country I’ve flown through I’ve been required to do so. I don’t get what’s so hard about reading the signs at the beginning of the security line. They’re usually extremely clear about what you need to do. I have no sympathy for the people that hold up the lines because…

I’ve not driven an NSX but I have driven a 570S and I don’t recall it being as unhinged as you make it sound. It behaves exactly as I would want my $200k, 560hp, RWD supercar to behave and that’s a good thing. If anything I found the engine note somewhat underwhelming for the rest of the package. On the continuum of…

The teams will come around once they realize that they can use this hideous abomination to realize some material aero benefits.

Its possible the OG dragons weren’t killed but died of natural causes. Perhaps the seven kingdoms didn’t have an adequately funded single payer healthcare setup in ye olde days.

Didn’t know there was a town called Canada in Florida.

Don’t think a LS swap would help much. The engines (at least on the QF) seem reasonably reliable so far. Its pretty much everything else that appears to be made of fish glue and tissue paper.

They’re just bad bikes. People buy them for the whole “culture” that seems to come with one and not for the actual product. I’m a millenial and have owned bikes in the past (before I moved to an extremely bike unfriendly city) but I have never ever considered buying a Harley. I’ve owned a Kawasaki, a BMW and a Triumph…

Would I be considered crazy if I said I was more excited about this movie than The Last Jedi (and I’m a huge Star Wars fan too)?

Sure I left out the Arrows and Subaru disasters but doesn’t comparing Honda’s current efforts to those programs kind of make my point. They certainly deserve to be mentioned more in those circles than with programs that most would consider ill fated (eg at least Toyota and Peugeot were somewhat competitive).

This is why I never drive behind any truck with any sort of open load in the back. I either overtake or change multiple lanes.

The Merc leaving F1 thing was a complete clanger spread by Eddie Jordan to get attention. Their works team just signed on to continue with Petronas through 2021 so they’re going nowhere.

Hamilton won that pretty easily but I can see Bottas becoming a major threat for the WDC in the second half of the season. His ability to focus and drive to a plan is pretty impressive. He’s been the most consistent driver of all of them this season (the one dnf was not his fault) and I’d love to see him get a real…

The open doors look like the wings on a Valkyries helmet from the front. That’s a really nice touch. The rest of the design is definitely more of the form follows function school of design.

No Bernie no problems. Liberty will figure out a way too keep the British GP, even if it means changing the track. Bernie would have signed a deal to replace it with a race in Saudi Arabia or something.

Bottas has definitely exceeded my expectations. I actually think he might be a tad better than Rosberg was judging by his gap to Hamilton in qualifying. He drives cleanly and consistently and has the right attitude to race at the front. If it wasn’t for his one dnf this season he’d be ahead of Hamilton in the wdc…

The South Korean military are one of the most capable conventional forces on the planet. They’d destroy the antiques Kim would throw at them without even breaking a sweat. The real danger would be to the 25m or so SoKo civilians who live within artillery range of the DMZ within the first day or so of hostilities.

I can totally see that. As someone who grew up playing cricket, doing the maths and keeping track of the stats probably helped my numeracy skills as a child. I was fortunate enough to catch an afternoons play at an England v Australia test match at lords in London recently and I loved the laid back, civilized fan…
