Surprise! Here’s a car payment. :)

So much for being grounded to the ground

So there was a guy at my high school who’s parents were killed in an accident, and he received a very large payout (insurance, inheritance, I’m not sure. He was a year or two ahead of me and had maybe just turned 18 so I didn’t really know him). This was in like 1991 or so. In any event he started driving to school in…

How to explain Jalopnik’s ethos using a quote from the website:

Seriously. When we hit up a rest stop my wife changes the baby and I run in and grab food while we are filling up. If we’re not ready to go as soon as the pump clicks off, I consider the stop a complete failure.

If a single piece of food was acquired from outside the car or if anyone peed outside the vehicle, there’s room for improvement. Seems like the pinnacle would be having some of those support people waiting at the pumps to fill your tank asap. Those pit stops COMPLETELY DESTROY YOUR PACE PLEASE JUST GET BACK IN THE CAR…

That’s not an argument. The fact of the matter is the US military, the wars, the welfare, along with forcing battery EVs so most people won’t be able to afford a private passenger automobile, and much more are all used to serve the same goals. Bloomberg is unusually straight forward about wealthy people like himself…

Are self-service gas pumps still illegal there?

Trillions are squandered on the warfare and welfare state. Again untouchable sums. And nobody is concerned with the “carbon footprint” of the US military, which is the largest by far consumer of hydrocarbon fuels on the planet.  The reason for all of that is because it all serves the desired end goals.

“Basically, it’s going to take some brave corporations millions, if not billions, of dollars, to go ahead and start building quick-charging stations on the scale that we have gas stations now.”

People rarely like admitting that they made a mistake. They like admitting it even less when it means they wasted money. They like it even less than that when the amount of money they wasted is obvious, incredibly conspicuous and a status symbol.

I think they’re hitting the leftover Thanksgiving Scotch and quite possibly some botulism from the food that sat out on the counter overnight.

Are you guys still drunk from your silly American Thanksgiving? 

V6 engineered by Ferrari, and remarkably cast by Chrysler in Kokomo, Indiana and shipped to Modena for assembly.

I wouldn’t say endorsement I’d say their bottom line is to make money. Sure it’s different to what Saudi Arabia is doing and there is some degree of political responsibility in all forms of entertainment but where do we draw the lines. Should we cancel the Belle Isle Grand Prix until Flint, MI has clean drinking…

It should be just as it should in any type of reporting. This op-ed lacks self awareness in my opinion. They even mention that the U.S. is assisting Saudi Arabia with its war in Yemen yet don’t discuss any additional implications of such involvement. For a U.S. based motorsports news outlet that decided to step into…

I never said Saudi Arabia was sunshine and rainbows but these articles come with a tone that acts as though the US is perfect and it’s far from that. Violence and oppression in the US may no longer be systemic in the ways it once was, but both are still prevalent in a number of ways. If a Motorsports media outlet…

Given the bottom line of this article, we should probably cease all Motorsport activities in the U.S. given the news about human rights violations at the border, current issues with domestic gun violence, and our inability to end involvement in international conflicts, especially in the Middle East. I take it you…

My first thought as well. If your financial situation is such that you have to move planned purchases, you are probably deluding yourself about whether you’ll be back in the workforce in a few years. Better to add a year or two to beef things up while you're still making end of career money vs start of part time…
