“These truck wars are starting to feel like the German executive sedan market around a decade ago, when they all feigned panic about the future (or were just really cash flush) and threw V8 and V10 engines in all of their cars for the thrill of it.”

Bottas is a perfect fit for Mercedes and Hamilton.  Scores decent points, doesn’t seem to be bothered by Hamilton’s domination.  Why rock the boat?

Too much $!

Part of being a driver in F1 is knowing what team will give you the best shot at winning.  Lewis has shown the ability to know what team to drive for.  Alonso, not so much.

This is how SUVs should be used.

Yes, not sure what his hang up about COTA is. Except that is messes with his business plan.

300 bhp in a 2100 pound Miata is scary.

Just because you can pass the test doesn’t mean you are ready to drive everywhere. Driving is a lot less complicated in rural areas but so few people live in rural areas (which is why they are rural) but we need a standard that can be applied to every driving situation that a person may encounter.

I couldn’t agree more. But we need national standards for driver training. Right now, each state has its own requirement.

Formula E is a great racing series. Good hard racing, plenty of manufacturers involved, excellent drivers.  I’ve been to 2 NYC events.  They were really great.

What car should the use for the new KITT?  Anyone?

Formula E is one of the best racing series out there.  Some of the races are slow in parts but there is always good action in every race.

I hate that it’s a crossover/SUV thing. For f$%ks sake, make a normal sedan!

Can anyone say restormod?

If you want something a bit more understated, M3/M4.

I’m sorry, small SUVs and crossovers are a poor substitute for sedans (saloons). They don’t have more cargo space that a well designed sedan, it’s just a different shape. And they don’t fit more people.

Next time, NASA should not announce the splashdown location. Some people would figure it out but not soon enough to get to the location.

Aren’t manual transmissions lighter than autos?

Having a stick is one of the best anti-theft devices you can have on a car.

I’m a teacher and my school is going back full time.  I guess I don’t have a choice.
