You have forgotten that informed journalism is a thing of the past. Most just write some nonsense diatribe and pass it off as journalism. Who’ll notice...right?

“the same boardroom that decided to end a championship-winning racing program also views its team’s motorcycles as taxable assets.”

The rules meant showing Alpine the flag so they could correct the issue not assessing a penalty for race control not doing their job on time.

Was it discovered by a mom? I only do mom tricks.

To some degree I agree with this. Here cars have been selling over MSRP for over a decade pretty consistently. It wasn’t triggered by supply chain issues, it was happening well before the pandemic. For instance in 2019 I contacted a number of Ford dealerships in my area as I was interested in a FiST. 7 out of 7 quoted…

Yeah, they could do that. And then they’d get sued.

We will as soon as EV evangelists admit that EV sports cars aren’t possible, and that they are explicitly aiming for the death of sports driving.

Counterpoint: do these actually hurt anyone? I see rolling coal below and obviously sideshows above, but I don’t really see any issue with people making their cars the way they like them. This is ONLY pertaining to the modifications, not what an owner does after the car is modified (drag race, donuts in an…

He’s not wrong about Ricciardo, but he also recently said “I’ve never heard Lewis Hamilton recognize Max Verstappen’s ability” which is absolute bullshit. Even last year Hamilton made a ton of positive comments about Max’s skill. Horner, Jos, and Marko make it really easy for people to hate Red Bull, which is a shame…

Headline is incorrect, as the bill is being introduced in the state legislature, not at the city level.

A big part of it from what I understand is sustainable land use. A lot of the current rubber we use comes from large farms that are not ecologically sustainable. Natural forests are cut back to make way for the rubber farms and that disrupts the local ecosystems (for both plants and animals). Also because the current…

Yep, was going to say everyone knows where he is now.

“Donald Foss, the billionaire founder of the subprime auto lender Credit Acceptance, died Sunday AND WENT STRAIGHT TO HELL, according to Crain’s Detroit Business.”

Methinks some of you are too young to remember truly horrible sounding engines:

What? No way! The free market will solve this!

If the current assholes at SCOTUS have their way, the EPA won’t be able be regulate the air under the Clean Air Act or the water under the Clean Water Act because Congress didn’t give them a thousand point list of all the things to do under said Acts to fulfill the mission of the law as written. Fuck SCOTUS. 

Also the current GQP platform (see recent ruling on the EPA from our ‘nonpartisan’ SC).

Michigan is sort of a regulate-yourself state, like too many others. Actually the EPA’s teeth have been pulled too many times over the years due to various presidents bowing to dollars over any other concerns.

Welcome to the Libertarian world of environmental protection!

I think a huge part of the show is a statement on violence. Partly in the desensitization of violence that a no-consequence place like Westworld would create and partly on corporate greed that drives it.  Delos wants people to live out these fantasies and encourage it because it drives profit (mainly in the form of…
