Even more on brand... 

That’s the point, they are too stubborn to make anything but the same bike they’ve been making for the past 50 years, and then wonder why nobody wants to buy it. 

not enough Indians who could afford a $20k gigantic pile of american steel, much less than extra $10k in branded accessories you are required to wear and/or display to the rest of the world. 

Nonsensical rant aside, SpaceX is supplying one of the potential spacecraft... 

See thats the thing. The people that were into cars still want the sticks, but the overwhelming majority remember when their dad was promoted and was able to afford the new Chevy with the Luxo-glide or whatever the hell it was called at the time. Us car people still love manuals, its all ive ever driven, but to the…

The problem is that an auto was a luxury item. having one meant you had more money than you needed, which in America has pretty much been the goal since Day 1. Being able to pay extra for the auto meant it was something you could lord over your neighbors and make them jealous. Its just a part of our Capitalist or Die…

I appreciate the dedication 

Im honestly shocked that all three responses actually make sense. There’s no 1967 POS that’s missing a door and hasn’t run with the Reagan administration, there’s no salvage title BMW with a green interior, just three reasonable suggestions.

Whats gone wrong at Jalop HQ

Same way Koenigsegg does, licensing technology. 

Mercedes as a team have been surprisingly progressive, letting, and even encouraging Lewis to do the things hes doing. Although i wonder if thats more them wanting to make sure hes happy in his seat. Hopefully not. 

They very well might have. Trains do that when they feel resistance to acceleration, since it usually means low traction on the loco’s. Back up and hit the slick patch again with more speed to get through it easier.

THERE ISNT ONE, THATS THE FUCKING PROBLEM

sorry for yelling. its annoying me to my core 

P.S. Why are comments always so borked?

Thats fucking awesome. Get that wrinkly old sack of racist money out of there

I dont usually respect Lewis that much for his personality and tendency to complain whenever hes not winning, but god damn if he didnt pull back all those respect points for this.

My coworked was familiar with those exact cars and said they didnt change anything on the outside of the car, just moved the in car platform up to accommodate the vans and trucks. had to add all sorts of bracing and stiffeners to keep it structurally sound since that platform is a big part of the cars strength. 

Sadly, no. Just a design engineer who has to fit stuff into the clearance diagrams all the time. 

What you are talking about it called PTC, Positive Train control. It has supposedly been “Ready to Operate” for years now, but the railroads keep requesting pushbacks on the date they originally told the Federal Rail Administration they would have it done. It was first signed into law in 2008 i believe, and they have…

I actually know some things about this type of thing.
