Once Red Bull finds their next #1 driver, they focus entirely on him and the #2 is little more than an FIA requirement. At the risk of sounding conspiratorial, but Perez’s slip in performance happened not long after he alluded to taking the fight to Max. The car is build around Verstappen, just like the car was built…

State Rep.

Would it be just getting rid of Musk, or bringing someone in to address some of Tesla’s quality challenges?

If Henry Ford were running Ford with all his anti-semitism, racism, and union busting today, he’d probably also be based in Texas and selling F-150s to people who would first buy a Ram or a Silverado and set it on to own somebody.

True. I hate to say this, but until it affects a large enough group, the current level of indignation can be dismissed as hysterical and disproportionate. Another downside to this push affecting such a small percentage of the population.

Scott’s probably in Tennessee though...

Maybe we can leverage Full Self Driving against the Chinese in the same way we leveraged SDI (Star Wars) against the Soviets in the 80s; it didn’t work, but the Soviets thought it did and it helped bankrupt them.

And that is exactly my point. I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but I was in a group chat with some old college friends. They like to present whatever conservative argument they see on FOX or from Ben Shapiro, and try to bait me (aside from the politics, they are long-time friends, and that outweighs this bullshit)…

It’s not happening. It simply isn’t.

They want exactly the reaction they are getting because they can turn around to their low-information drones and say, “Look at how the left are reacting. See what a big deal this is? See how we’re protecting you and what is right from these leftists?”

Somebody should have spoken with the good folks of Speedway and Indianapolis about their experiences when the F1 circus came to town for a few years. The 500 is a community event, so they weren’t too happy with the aggressively capitalistic nature of Formula One, and weren’t necessarily all that upset when the circus…

Perhaps, but that is driven more by family dynamics than anything specific to motorsports. In the forms of motorsports that have produced the most female competitors, funding is all that matters. No team owner is turning down a funded driver.

Sexism isn’t any more or less rampant in racing as it is in any other co-ed activity. While I’m not so naive to say it is completely gone, the days of women being banned from paddocks are long over.

Ha!

Can anyone provide a single example of Danica Patrick doing anything other than promote Danica Patrick’s career? Has she done anything in particular to further other women in motorsport? I can’t think of any, and it is something I pay attention to. By all accounts she’s done well for herself, particularly during her…

We’re a couple miles away from 100k on the Pacifica and I’m still at least pretending to maintain it as a family truckster.

We attempted the small sedan thing with a car seat and a booster, but once we needed to drive my mother-in-law around and my wife was riding in the middle of the back seat, sideways and unable to buckle up, we upgraded to a minivan. Haven’t looked back. We are going to run that Pacifica into the ground and sell it for…

1) the age/weight recommendation before going to forward facing has been raised and cars seats have become bulkier

By taking the bait. You acknowledge that this is a manufactured crisis, but you treat it like it is real. And by taking the bait, you’re as much contributing to the fucking over of a vulnerable group as the shit heads who are ginning up the “controversy”.

The WNBA has a tough row to hoe. They have to deal with jackasses like the guy this article was written about, but they also need to be simpatico with its players and their concerns. The short answer is that the WNBA is getting the audience it is marketing to, it just isn’t a large audience and that is what…
