Doesn’t GM still own Vauxhall? Or was that part of the Opel deal to PSA?

Mercedes-Benz: Hunger Games Editions?

This is about as dumb as EA’s 15-years exclusivity deal with Porsche.

Not too keen on the FanBoost either, and they currently swap cars instead of battery packs, the latter of which is planned for the new racecar that is expected to debut for the 2018 season (not sure whether it’s 2017-2018 season or 2018-2019 season).

I never said “points for trying”. Credit for trying, especially considering what you said about taking on F1. Credit to me is a totally different thing than points. Points are earned, not given.

Well, gotta give them credit for trying. When the other two 2010 new teams failed after at least two seasons, Manor held on, first as Marussia then as Manor, for 6 whole seasons. Heck, they even managed to score points but still in the back of the pack. Last season, they were looking to break into the top 10 in team

Manor? HRT, Caterham? all three on the grid since 2010 and none could find a way into the top ten in standings, either in a race or championship. Manor managed it a few times but only just. All three are no longer in the series, for various reason all concerning finances.

I do. I’m hearing impaired, so the noise – artificial or not – doesn’t matter to me. It’s just nice seeing Lucas DiGrassi and Sebastien Buemi winning races for once (neither won a single race during the F1 tenure, and DiGrassi was driving for the Marussia F1 team back in his time).

He never said BAR was a powerhouse, he said McLaren-Honda was back in the day. Remember, Senna and Prost?

First, “Racing’s Gonna Suck This Year”, then “Honda Is Going To Suck This Year”.

Yes! All those cars in the street was what caught my eye, well before i noticed the truck was blocking the sidewalk.

Yet the neighborhood still went and destroyed the plane. Despite it being entirely within his property.

These neighbors have no right to complain when the entire street is littered with parked cars in the street.

Yes, maybe you notice it after it deploys. I crashed my RX-8, and only after I had come to a stop did I notice the airbags. Maybe I was too focused watching the rocky cliff face approaching at a slow speed to notice the airbags and smoke.

And really, the plums? Was the passenger sitting close to the dash or something?

I use my signals all the time, even when there’s nobody behind me or in front of me. My dad on the other hand... only uses it when there’s other cars on the road.

My turn signal stalk has a nifty feature too. Half-push either direction activates the lane-change signal which by default flashes 3 times then shuts off,

Yeah, seems like that warning sign would be too far away for the cameras to notice it. Had there been one on the left side of the road, the car may have recognized it and moved over.

Since the driver had 16 seconds to react, he could have easily taken control from Autopilot and moved over himself. But we know he

I hate the current car commercials. All they do is say, “Hey we made it so our cars will save you no matter how poor a driver you are!”

My lane departure never alerts me because I can keep my car between the lines. The only time it goes off is when I cut a corner, using the lines as if they are racing kerbs.

I still

Even so, I call BS on the airbag smoke. Airbags deploy so quickly you almost never notice it. For sure, there is minimal smoke, too. Highly doubt the “smoke” is from the airbag, or even the tire. Most likely steam (do Teslas have radiators? I mean, huge battery packs must need cooling as well, right?)

Maybe it’s just

How dumb do you have to be to use Autopilot and not pay attention, knowing full well that Autopilot still needs human supervision?

My therapist recently visited the race garage of one Jimmy Glickenhaus. Or at least his mechanic’s garage. I was sooo jealous, cuz he saw all these awesome cars including the SCG-003 race cars that ran the Nürburgring 24H.
