F1 has been concerned about limiting the cost of racing in its series. Will adding sprints increase both costs and wear and tear on engines, etc.?

See if you can find a sidecar training course. You might find a side car to be fun and less “scary.”

“The one remaining problem with electric vehicles is the charging infrastructure. It’s as simple as that.”

This is a good reminder that we need to critically evaluate claims about foods that are going to solve one problem or another. Reducing our collective carbon footprint is a good idea, but doing it with saturated fat and sodium is not so great for those of us with heart conditions, hypertension, etc.

If anyone thinks that McDonald’s all-day breakfast is not a big deal, please notice that it got three updates here at The Takeout.

Back when I spent a lot of time riding motorcycles, I noticed that a lot of the motorcyclists I met were keen photographers. A friend of mine who was both an avid motorcyclist and a former professional photographer opined that this was because both motorcycles and cameras were gadgets and motorcyclists were gadget…

The best deal I ever got on a new car was a leftover in February. There was lots of snow on the ground and there weren’t many customers in the dealership. I was amazed how much more eager the dealership was to sell a leftover model than an identical current model.

Probably a plug-in hybrid SUV/CUV for me. I tend to keep cars for a long time and am old enough that I will probably buy only one more car. For whatever reason, I am fascinated by plug-in hybrids and my aging body is on track to making it difficult for me to get in and out of low cars.

Before Tesla, what was the last time that someone started a new (from the ground up) automobile manufacturer in the United States that still exists as either company or a brand made by another company and is a large volume manufacturer of cars and/or light trucks? Was it Lincoln in 1917?

Did the ad pronounce the name “Ree-nalt” like many of us Americans did 60 years ago?

For an old guy like me, the most notable Daimler was the SP250 roadster of the early 1960s (shown in one of your pictures labeled as a V8 Dart). I have only seen one at a car show, but a 2.5 liter V8 roadster made a strong impression on me when I saw it in car magazine pictures back in the day.

“Mr. Potato Head was conceived in 1949, the brainchild of Brooklyn-born toy inventor George Lerner. Lerner originally came up with the idea of inserting small, pronged body parts into fruits and vegetables to create a “funny face man.” You see, World War II was underway, and times were tough—which is why folks…

You had me at Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren. (Yes, I am old.)

I am not sure that I understand the practical application of this. In order for this to work, would you have to plant spinach in a suspected mine field? If so, wouldn’t you be likely to find the mines while planting the spinach?

This exercise lost some credibility because no one chose rye or whole wheat, but Lillian’s choice of the yeast roll puts her ahead of the others.

“Part of that is because it’s a great step for entry-level or gentlemen drivers—people who may not have tons of skill or experience but who have the ability to race.”
