Absolutely true (although he wasn’t ‘fired’, technically), but it should also be said that while it made sense at the time, in retrospect it turned out he basically doomed McLaren’s future when he signed Fernando Alonso in late 2005. That’s the worst decision he’s ever made. You never know, but if not for that…

You won’t let this go, right?

Those look fun to clean.

In related news, Lori Laughlin expressed behind the scenes interest in purchasing a car/position for Olivia Jade.

Sequentials require a clutch to take away from a stop. From there it’s a clutchless shift. Very common in racing. 

There was about a two-year overlap between Everyone Wearing Flip Flops and when I owned a manual Saab (gods, I miss that car). I would honestly drive barefoot because flip flops + manual driving was so dumbly frustrating.

Psh. Amateur.

Easier for me.

I can’t stand even moving the car in the driveway with them on. Any kind of driving further than 50 ft, I put on a pair of sneakers (usually Adidas Sambas or similar with a flat bottom is what I prefer to drive in).

You must also be the type that is not content to pull up behind the painted line at an intersection and wait. Instead, you must inch forward at least a few times, using your vehicle to intimidate the red light until it relents and/or you are halfway through the pedestrian crosswalk. Only this specific ritual will…

I’ve seen many different sets of data regarding overtakes. Usually (at least in my mind) the best ones are those that don’t count opening lap, pitlane & technical failure-based overtakes.

To truly capture the millennial spirit, the car should be financed at a high interest rate over 120 months by someone with crippling student loans, who works three jobs to stay above water.

I just rode in one of the higher trim models a couple of weeks ago as a Lyft. Honestly, it didn’t seem that bad? It got out of its own way, the leather seemed to be holding up well, and the interior felt well put together.

I like that!

This is the only and first diesel powered truck.

I hope it has brightly colored protectors fit to the carbon splitter. I can’t wait to see them installed on all 4 Supras I ever see.

Heard Scotto say on a podcast (TST maybe?) that they did a front end swap on that car, hence the discrepancy

I just zoomed on Jalopnik, I didn’t even need to open the Tweet to tell. The one there is indeed even clearer.

“It’s not clear if the tires in the photo that 5054 tweeted are the Bridgestones or the Pirellis...”

No no no....you’re reading too much into things.
