I can’t believe all the car snobs I’m seeing here. “It has an automatic. And cheap tires. And a subwoofer. It’s not worth spending my money on it.” It may not be perfect, but it’s a vintage beamer, it runs, and it’s cheap by modern standards. NP.

Not 100%. I’d been driving all night when I got to that point, and was working on about 30 minutes of sleep. 590 would have been out of my way, though.

I-490 in Rochester NY. Driving at speed sets up this weird resonance with my car that makes me motion sick from the bouncing.

That explains one aspect of their current signage, which has a sawtooth pattern on the vertical sides.

$6900 is probably a nice price if you’re looking for a museum piece that you won’t need to restore or drive. I expect that market is pretty small, though.

Beat me to it. Aero by Tony Stark.

That looks like someone’s been playing around with an AI image creator, only less coherent. I was able to get better with only a little effort.

No 1937 Cord 812, so GTFO.

The Mystery Machine paint job is the equivalent of the rubber mask that gets pulled off to reveal the surveillance van underneath.

I’m annoyed that my 2009 Honda Fit Sport doesn’t have a remote hatch release. You have to get out and open the hatch manually.

Bold of you to assume that we want to see more Star Wars.

Neither did my TV remote. Go figure.

The remote control for the TV.

There are three city-states in the world: Monaco, Singapore, and the Vatican. The Vatican is the only one without a Formula 1 race. I think the time is right for the Pope to up his motorsports game and arrange for the Vatican Grand Prix.

I was gonna ask if that was the model number or the license plate, but TFA beat me to it.

From what I’ve heard, this will be more like 3 trucks, not 3 convoys.

The race director’s job is to enforce the decisions of the stewards, and make sure the race is conducted safely. “Having an exciting finish” doesn’t enter into it.

No... just, no...

I would be more generous for races without any racing laps. Award points the same way as for a sprint race - 3 points for pole, 2 for second, and 1 for third. Other than that, this seems fine.
