For anyone this side of the top 0.01% wealthiest people, none of this business model makes sense, but for Ferrari it’s probably a nice cash cow, a bit like first-class and business-class seats in airplanes, which bring most of the profit to the airlines despite all the extraneous and mysterious fees they overcharge us…
Coolest hearse ever was found in Harold and Maude. Too bad their connotations with funeral homes prevent hearses from being as popular as shooting brakes. :)
And being the richest douche on Earth (mostly unrealized capital gains, but that’s how wealth is measured in capitalist societies) must help with the legal issues. As trump continues to prove (let’s see if that will come to an end, but not holding my breath), short of pulling an epstein you can get away with anything…
But their ultimate dream is a one-way trip to colonize Mars, so we all may live happily ever after. That’s assuming the SpaceX drilling and terraforming equipment they will need to produce oxygen from ice (and last more than a couple of days there) will work a lot better than the Tesla Cybertruck windows.
Hey, when dude was in Biology class and the teacher told him and his mates the Human species is referred to as Homo Sapiens, he must have shouted “No Homo” from the top of his lungs...
Elon is the ultimate champion and defender of HIS free speech. And if your “free” speech does not really fit his world view, then you don’t really fit his world view...
Excellent memory! Some cool cat actually revamped the highlights of that Grand Prix with modern graphics and it’s pretty great! Brundle’s quip happens at 3:53.
True, the violent expletive-laden way Max has reacted to Gianpiero Lambiase’s information and advice at times has been quite out of line this season. I’ve been waiting for Gianpiero to go from the few passive-aggressive responses he has mustered to a full-hearted “F**k You, Max”, but they’re at completely different…
Yeah, that’s an excellent example, far from as villainous an act as Shumacher trying to take out Villeneuve in Jerez 1997, but it’s the same kind of mean-spirited stuff that a great champion and role model for millions of kids out there like Lewis should strive to be above of.
I agree the radio coverage selection is very likely biased towards favoring messages from Lewis given his status as the winningest F1 driver of all time struggling to score good results, but also as a way of creating drama. I would still surmise that if he was not doing it so often, we would not hear it so often. Max…
Lewis was my favorite driver from the start of his career until about 2016, when his constant whining about Rosberg as Rosberg was just edging him out in a few races to eventually win the championship (with allegations flying all around that Mercedes was favoring Rosberg because he is German) started to become really…
Fortunately, old bridges have this annoying tendency to eventually crumble and take sown major transport arteries with them, like the I-35 bridge in Minneapolis several years ago, so at some point the billions will have to be spent. Unfortunately, no one knows when the bridge will finally give up the ghost, so several…
Who knew World War III was going to start in New Zealand over Céline Dion’s songs? Humankind is truly unfathomable...
At first sight it’s okay, but then the Prelude moniker invokes the fabulous (lowest hood for a mass production car) 1987-91 generation, or the sporty 1991-96 generation one, and your heart just sinks thinking of how 35 years of progress erased almost all elegance left in car design.
I miss the days of upgrading the stock radio to a new Alpine unit with a detachable faceplate so it doesn’t get stolen while I’m in Blockbuster, picking out a VHS to watch.
Agreed, and that’s where checking all your mirrors before lane-changing is really important. If this person had seen on their left-side rearview mirror (assuming they knew how to adjust it correctly) that a massive tow truck was about to occupy the same space as them, perhaps braking instead of turning the steering…
If you really believe that, you really have no idea how wrong you are.
If you turn or lane-change without indicating and checking your mirrors (whether willfully or because you’re trying to message OMG for the latest cat picture from your buddies), anything that happens to you is your responsibility alone (with an exception for massive heart attacks, but those are rare). Unfortunately,…
As long as these sovereign citizens fail to procreate before they eventually have an immediate encounter of the worst degree with the barrel of a cop’s gun, they will be mostly occasional annoying entertainment. Unfortunately, even then they tend to indoctrinate others on how to fail to live in society before they go,…
