Reducing emissions in the cars themselves isn’t the point. The point is to be pushing the technological envelope towards something that could eventually be used in road cars to reduce emissions.

I’ve always heard (but never quite believed) that manufacturer’s use the R&D from racing to justify the costs. I love to shit on bean counters no doubt, but they’re not idiots; they know that’s a BS reason as well.

She mentions the importance of social metrics and yet Jalopnik has failed to link any of her accounts here.

What if the Haas is a difficult-to-drive piece of shit? 

Lena Gade brought Audi its 10th win at Le Mans. In a race that everything seemed to be going against them. So much respect for Gade. It was hard to watch the circumstances of the team start falling apart, but when it came time make difficult decisions, Ulrich stood back and let her stand on her own feet.

In the Moto3 World Championship, Tatsuki Suzuki’s Telemetry Technician was recently featured on a MotoGP article interview; that’s her, Patricia Pacheco, just above Suzuki holding the #1 board.

While you do have a point, it’s 1000CAD, which is $750 in USD, which is about what we’d be spending on a brand new PS5 and a few games. Like, yeah, it was definitely an investment, but it makes sense for us in the long run considering it's helped me learn race tracks before I go to them and iRacing is basically the…

Well, you could use that same argument for any non-fiction book recently... No one’s buying Michael Cohen’s book, few people will buy Bob Woodward’s book, etc, since most of the interesting parts are all excerpted in the news. But someone has to pay for these things to be produced, I guess. It’s a good reminder that…

Like many people, I despise most aspects of the Bill Maher persona, but he’s one of the only left-of-center TV hosts who even books conservatives/Trumpies, and he usually calls bullshit to their face, which we don’t often see anymore. Stewart was far better at this type of thing during the Bush era, but nearly every…

“There’s no real explanation for why HBO continues to hand out renewals to Real Time With Bill Maher even though nobody likes the show,”

At least Mercedes said the right thing:

Rule no. one for suburban landscaping: GET ROCKS.

I’m smirking a bit at all the comments chastising you for the state of your property.

I think the the answer to these questions is really simple: There is no “wrong” answer; under the cistcumstances, your caprice and “the correct thing to do” are effetively the same thing. Lookit, this is really black people’s struggle, and as such, black people are allowed to accept, reject, call out, or excuse more…

Just a day or two ago, we were told by experts in the Jalopnik forums that it would take years to do this. But look, we have a doodle of a possible solution within days and now everyone says it will be done by the end of the week.

Even though I like the Civic as-is, I really, really like the looks of the Insight. It’s just a pretty lil’ car.

Dunno, it's good work, but the internet commentariat will shout BORING one way, and TOO BUSY the other. I like that Honda is making a wild Civic. At least it doesn't have a whale mouth.

Which password manager is more reputable?

No more unsettling than a real child.

I dunno, looks pretty darn cute and nice and friendly to me.
