Except, somehow, Hamilton has managed to be THE top F1 driver, be a strong and aggressive driver and not appear to be an asshole. Being an asshole is not a requirement for success. Not in F1, not anywhere. most places, it’s a great way to crater your career.

Is he really that good if he can’t win clean? I’m actually asking.
Basically, he appears to be an aggressive asshole. Do I know him personally? no. So I can only go with what I’ve seen of him on drive to survive and in interviews and on the track. And what I see is an asshole.
Ahhh, where to begin. Honestly, it mostly comes down to his attitude. And I don’t just mean the guy’s a dick, that’s almost to be expected at the highest level of any sport. Unlike many other sports out there, motorsport in particular puts you in a place that is very dangerous to you and those around you.
He actually strikes me as someone that could not care about others.
I’ll preface this by saying I’ve been racing my whole adult life, so I am quite familiar with the types of people who race. Max strikes me as someone constantly seeking the approval of others and will literally do anything to get it. Those are the racers I dislike and do not trust, because they will literally take me…
This discussion reminds me of an ‘82 Chevy truck that I had essentially sold to a guy and as the test drive had us returning to my house, the thing quits, erupting into flames. The fire trucks came, the guy backed out of the deal, I called my wife for a ride.
You know what brakes are the coolest brakes in the world? The ones that stop you from dying because they actually function as modern brakes.
But what about torrents?
Nascar has never been a huge fan of Live Streaming.
I am, to my shame, a 2-time loser. And as such, I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that no system exists outside of full automation that can keep drunks from driving while also not screwing over normal, rational drivers at the same time.
When I was in my late teens/early 20s, my best friend who lived across the street had an Avanti 2. Well, it wasn’t “his” exactly. He was only child and his parents deemed it to be “his car to use”; they had own cars (535i and 911 slow).
The ‘64 Avanti gets my vote as America’s all-time best styled car. No joke, all cars line up behind that model:
Counterpoint: The Studebaker Avanti is EXTEMELY under-appreciated.
The whole point of the Miata is to be the purest distillation of an old school sports car as possible. A core part of that is the stick. If someone is physically unable to drive a stick, a tiny little cramped Miata is probably the last vehicle on their list. It’s a terrible choice for someone with a disability.
People can and should learn. A used Miata would be a great car to learn stick. What Garland said: this is very very sad.
No, what’s sadder is complaining about the availability of an automatic that might allow someone to drive the car who otherwise wouldn’t be able to.
Nothing sadder than a Miata with a slushbox.

Just tested this on my 25 year old Toyota. Does the same thing, but the button doesn’t clack in the same way. I guess that’s something.
