Three cars are chained together in this race. The one in front has a driver with the engine and steering, the one in the middle has no driver, and the one in the back has the brakes. Oh, and they run on figure eight tracks. Who the hell in their right mind thought of this?

That might be the first donk I've seen that I thought looked good. It's sort of tastefully done? That seems like the wrong term for it. But gotta love that blower.
ETA: The interior looks good in it.

It's a 67 96 with the 850. Long term plans are a light restore to rally spec. First goal is to get it running. The v4 is a 68.

Hey I have 2 Saabs and 7 cylinders between them.

I have a huge soft spot for an orange Scout II. We had one when I was growing up, and it was the first 4wd vehicle that I knew. Great car, wish it hadn't rusted to nothing.

This! The Scuderia is the most petulant team on the grid. While you can't fault the dominance of Schumi and others, the fact is that they get the most money out of the series because Ferrari. Not because they improve the sport.

Considering that Toyota have been campaigning their cars for a couple of years, Porsche getting a podium on their maiden race is indeed big news. Also, the Audi DNF is news as well.

I am 6'4" and a great big bastard. I drive a 2008 Mazda6 fairly comfortably. There is a surprising amount of room in the driver's seat and real people can still sit behind you.

I really like Bruce Turk. I got in touch with him for advice concerning a 67 stroker that I want to build. He's a great guy. I love his collection.

Don't let him drive a cool (if unfortunately colored) car. I like the idea of administering several tens of thousands of paper cuts and then rolling him in salt saturated lemon juice.

When you're between a shitbox and a shitbox you gotta do something.

I know exactly the shade of green you're talking about. My family had a V4 96 with that paint on the body, but the doors had rusted out and were replaced with a pair of dull red color doors. My mom called the car Zelda the Swamp Witch.

Thanks for coming, John.

Pinzgauer. Portal axles, european awesomeness.

There are several attack vectors but the most likely candidates are dropping an infected USB device in the paddock, email spearphishing or social media. In pen testing circles, the USB method has a very nearly 100% success rate. If you mock up a bunch of juicy sounding spreadsheet files, it is even easier. People…

Fair enough. We know that there are mandated similar equipment installed in the cars. Is McLaren International still the sole supplier of ECUs to the field? With my tinfoil hat deployed, it could be an effort to see if it's possible to extract information regarding the cars as they are hooked up to the diagnostic…

If this were RBR, Ferrari, Mercedes or McLaren, I would suspect a targeted attack for the purpose of industrial espionage. As it's Marussia, I would go with the "Someone be looking for porn" angle till proven otherwise.

This is far and away the most likely attack vector.

This reminds me of a summer camping trip in Utah. We were up at the top of Guardsman Pass and my buddy got stuck in the last bit of snow in a full size (OJ style) Ford Bronco. Some tourists in a Suziki Swift rental car hooked on and yanked the Bronco to dry ground. Is there anything a cheap rental won't do?
