I’m not going to tell him what happened to gas prices. You tell him.

I always assumed it was because they know there are real single-issue voting UFO zealots out there that will vote for a candidate simply on the hope they will “disclose”. There is no real reverse of this; someone who will vote against a candidate that implies they will “disclose”, so it is a net vote-getting position…

I get that point, and I think there’s a place for something like the G-wagen (the more basic diesel V6 versions are probably closer to my sweet spot). Just, I swear I see more AMG-Wagens than even the G550, which mostly just feels like a sign that there’s a few too many people with far more money than sense, and…

I’m going to go with worst trend, which was weird, badly proportioned hardtop convertibles based on compact hatchbacks. For example, this Peugeot 307.

As much as I often complain about the tactics of the rich in avoiding and at times outright evading taxes with impunity I am completely with the boat owner here.

Part of the problem was that, in the X-class’ key markets, Mercedes has a strict division between luxury cars versus grimy work vehicles. Well, lots of carmakers do, but with Mercedes it’s really strict.

The X Class was a Nissan truck with a slightly Merc-ified interior and some different trim pieces. They never could quite figure out whether to sell it as a sporty luxury plaything for people looking for adventure (spending a ton of money to sponsor mountain bike world cup races to promote was trying to do that) or as…

Nothing’s to stop them. Why wouldn’t they? They’ve done it before. Balestre pretty much directly handed a title to Prost on the grounds of liking him more!

My aim would be for Danny Ric to win every race. I didn’t have a dog in the fight between the title contenders (if anything, my son’s a big Max fan, but six-year-olds don’t tend to care about minor things like adherence to the rules).

...except they’d look really stupid to take Hamilton out of the lead by pitting him, only for the race to end under safety car. They didn’t have a crystal ball and there’s no way they could’ve known with 100% certainty they would still have 1 lap of racing left; and if safety car procedures had been followed as…

A lot of things were pointing towards the race ending under a safety car. Pitting could have put him behind VER as the SC paraded to the end.

thats nascar level fuckery right there.

Surely you jest. He was 11 seconds ahead with 6 laps to go and Max was not gaining on him over the prior 3 laps. Zero chance he would have caught up. 

The biggest disappointment by far is that any joy at all has come to Jos Verstappen, who is a straight up piece of shit.

FIA is now as credible as WWE. How the fuck can the race director change the rules literally on the final lap? Which make no mistake, is exactly what Masi did.

I’ve never been a big Lewis Hamilton fan, but his behavior after the race today might change that. He showed a lot of class in a really difficult situation. Massive respect to LH.

I try to always look at all the facts in an open minded unbiased way but I always come back to the same thing. Fuck Max and fuck Horner

Drain plug doesn’t necessarily get it all either. Sometimes the extractor can get more. Here’s a good video on youtube showing some examples of oil pans that don’t drain completely.
