“Statistically, F1 drivers tend to drop off in performance significantly after age 36.”

Since we are talking about starting now and I have already started to experience age-related physical issues that make it desirable that I drive a car with a relatively high seating position for easy ingress and egress, I would consider the new Toyota RAV4 Prime. I am intrigued by the idea of plug-in hybrids, and this…

IIRC, he is the grandfather of Pietro Fittipaldi, who made his F1 debut for Haas last weekend.

“One great aspect of motorcycle riding we don’t often hear about is the never-ending search for gear.”

“Just to be clear: The Developed World needs to just have open borders, full stop. A transparent, well-regulated immigrant system where we know where everybody is and what they’re doing would be far safer, cheaper, and more effective than forcing people to roll the dice on a leaky boat or a hike through the worst…

Both of my grandfathers, my father, and all but one of my uncles were, at one time or another, International Harvester dealers. At least one of my cousins kept buying International vehicles until they got out of the SUV/pickup business and still owns his Dad’s last Scout (Mercedes is not the only International fan…

There must have been a mistake. All four of the recommendations are reasonable.

I find it hard to draw the line between the personal and work lives of celebrities, athletes, etc. Exactly what actions in the celebrities lives should result in adverse actions at work? From your description of the event, it is clear that where ever you draw the line, Mazepin has crossed it. He should go.

“He had to cut the bumper and fenders using a grinder, but through use of many sheetmetal screws, he made his vision a reality.”

It is worse than that. I may be old enough to be your grandfather and I heard this line from my grandmother.

I have a collapsible shovel, brush/scraper, and kitty litter in each car. We get little snow here, so it is more of a talisman than preparation.

The problem here was a loose nut behind the wheel.

When I was in college, 50 plus years ago, my Mom sent me cookies packed in popcorn in a plastic bag. The cookies arrived in fairly good condition. Not being a picky eater, I ate the popcorn too.

Bradley was too hard on Bottas and you are too hard on Bradley. I do agree with you that Bottas is a very good driver.

“1) Your nomination should contain the name of a specific countertop dishwasher—additive or standalone—why you think it’s the best, a link where it can be purchased, and an image.”

The Solara convertible is a good example of a car that is good at being what it is, a convertible with reasonable reliability. An under-appreciated part of owning one was that my grandchildren enjoyed riding in it. Arriving at or departing from soccer practice, etc., in a red convertible with the top down is…

IIRC, Daniel Ricc1ardio in fifth is the only one of the top seven finishers who has ever won a F1 race.

In the early 1980s, I was driving a 1971 Toyota Corona that I had purchased new. One day, as I was finishing my daily commute, I noticed what appeared to be a front brake noise about one mile from my house. When I stopped at the last stoplight I heard a loud noise and decreased braking performance. It turns out that I…

Even though I have been to relatively few races over the years, there are several moments that I remember well and fondly. The one that sticks out is in Monterey, California, in 1969. It was the day before the CanAm race and, as I often did, I went for a walk. My route took me past the local BMC dealership. Even…

“Now, we’ve seen claims of solar charging before, and those claims are almost always bullshit.”
