Damn, I’m 6ft 2 (but pretty thin) and really had my heart set on a c8 z06 (assuming the engine rumors are true). The cramped interior doesn’t sound encouraging. I guess I’ll have to stick to 911s (or check out the R8).

Is this the final season? Sure seems like it from the trailer.

No, if anything the twins are even more overpowered because of the need to continue with takeoff on the loss of a single engine. The 787 and A350 are both just as fast as the A380 and 747 (M0.85 cruise) though the latter has a slight advantage (0.1 mach) due to a higher wing sweep angle. The 777 and 767 are both slight…

So much this. The order 66 flashback sequence has to be one of the best Star Wars moments forever. I got legit chills playing through that. 

So much this. More than JJ the real blame here rests with Kathleen Kennedy. It seems like all she wanted out of this was to sign on big name directors to make Star Wars movies regardless of the stories or any overarching structure. Contrast this with Kevin Feige’s detailed, intricate and impeccably engineered MCU. Indi…

Yes and no. It should get a second season and it should not have much to do with the locations, characters and story in the first season. Make this an anthology type show. They ended this season too perfectly to ruin things by attempting to tack on a direct continuation of the same story but the larger world they…

I actually like the idea of this being a standalone miniseries. I wasn’t aware that that was the plan when I started watching it and was initially concerned this would end up like HBO’s other big mystery box show - Westworld. That started off strong but had a dumpster fire of a second season that really went nowhere…

Just get tsa pre (and global entry if you fly international). If you travel more than a couple of times a year it’s a no brainer and many travel cards now cover the fees. Not only do you skip the worst lines and avoid secondary screening, the “trusted traveller” mark on your boarding pass speeds you past such checks…

I had the privilege to meet the man at the gym at the Bellagio a 5-6 years ago at 5 am on a Sunday (like me he had an early flight to catch). He was just such a genuinely nice guy willing to help everybody with their workout and never ever seemed like he was this giant celebrity. He is (imho) the greatest living Americ…

So basically like Bernie on Venezuela. He was smart and played it the right way.

This is really good advice. I hope Mr Brownell reads it.

Also vote for whomever the Democrats run even if you don’t get your perfect, 100% ideal candidate. If you didn’t vote for Clinton in 2016 you pretty much have no right to complain about anything this administration does. 

Wrong. The engines did last because they use them in practices every race weekend. The engine changes have been driven by performance upgrades. Every “old” engine is still available in the pool. There’s a massive difference between taking a grid penalty voluntarily because you actually have a chance to win future races…

The early season performance was apparently more due to a lack of front end downforce that they were only able to get on top of by Silverstone. Honda’s engine has steadily improved through 4 specs to the point where the gap between them and Mercedes is less than the gap between Mercedes and Ferrari. In some situations…

Mercedes and Ferrari are on target to finish the season using only 3 engines. Renault and Honda both take grid penalties for more engines where Renaults are on their 5th/6th engines and Honda are on their 4th. The difference is that Honda take voluntary penalties to introduce new engine specs that improve performance…

Honda’s current motors are good - imho far better overall than McLaren’s Renault PU in terms of reliability (not outright top end power) and fairly even with Mercedes on performance. They’re still quite a long way off the monster Ferrari PU that is the class of the field though given how well they’ve done this year,…

I think it’s pretty funny that environmental activists and the media are actually going to great lengths to scrutinize this and other corporate esg plans for realism and viability (which I agree are lacking) while at the same time completely ignoring the science fictional utopianism and complete disconnection from…

Looks plenty for the Whole Foods parking lot curbs most of these will end up having to tackle. I would not be surprised to see these sell in ridiculous, even Wrangler like numbers. I’m sure there will be better underbody protection and even more offroad capability offered for the few sold for that purpose.

Same boat. I’m perfectly happy with the X. I think I’ll wait till next year’s 5G Qualcomm iPhone. The intel 4G modems in the X are awful with consistently worse signal performance than my work Galaxy Note on the same network (ATT).

I wonder if Ferrari picked the wrong driver to clip for Leclerc at the end of last season. Kimi had been quicker and more consistent than Seb pretty much from Belgium last year. He’s been very good at Alfa this year as well. With Leclerc now clearly the man at Ferrari and one of the 3 best drivers in F1 at the moment,…
