Whilst the V10/V12s sound a lot better I do find the current cars a lot..easier to watch. It’s less distracting and you can hear things other than engine noise like the crowd responding to a pass. It also means you don’t need to wear ear protection at the track which is a lot more sociable!

Tightbeam laser available as a factory option

If the system is truly modular, I could remove the DJ decks and hide the DJ’s dead body in the same spot. It’s so versatile!

How this movie hasn’t been remade recently I do not know. It is perfectly fitted for today’s bling-centric culture, and the Political third act is almost prophetic.

The US is the largest importer of Chinese goods, but not by a magnitude.
