All racing is marketing exercises. 

“... first American manufacturer in history...”? So, “history” doesn’t go back too far, huh?

So these efforts are basically marketing exercises. Do any of Cadillac’s customers know anything about F1? If Mercedes dropped out of the sport right now, would the event be detectable in their sales?

Gummies, y’all.  Gummies.

So, advantage to Verstappen? The Dutch have had a policy of tolerating pot/weed/hash for decades. He ought to be familiar with it. Not per se its effect, but its smells for sure.

well the event is held in the middle of the city so I would assume many residents/visitors/tourists just smoke freely around the city.

And Las Vegas resident could say the same thing about the event itself. The F1 grand prix stinks up a part of the city for a few days, creates traffic, congestions, higher prices, yada…

Interestingly enough, I prefer the smell of cigarettes to weed, Vapes to both, and none as the ultimate request. just do a little tailgating before the event and walk in, no need to get high throughout an event and stink up the whole place.

Me? I’d go for a Volvo or Subaru wagon and make it into a bit of a safari car — roof rack/basket for camping stuff or kayaks, knobby tires for a bit of trail capability, add some lights and maybe a push bar to the front end, etc. Outfit the interior with a 12V fridge (maybe powered by a solar panel on the roof?). It’d…

I wanna know more about that camera car! 

Nothing gets lower. It’s a mind fuck. Like gas will go up 25 cents and then down 20 cents and people will say it’s lower! No it’s still 5 cents more than it was.

LOL right, also unlimited means UNLIMITED unless it says it’s not in the fine print. But also how the hell do you drive 25k miles in a month. Like 1000 miles a day is almost 15 straight HOURS driving 70 mph. I like to drive but damn. That’s like driving across the US almost 9 times in a month.

Hertz is doing something stupid and having it blow up on social media is as predictable as a rainy day in Seattle 

Jalopnik editors have lost something over the years. I could see the old recommendations to be stuff like this

Lexus GX460.

It’s not really ridiculous, these converted bus style RV’s are fairly regular.

“He purchased a Volvo C40 Recharge EV but wanted to get rid of it after only a few months of ownership due to technical problems; the infotainment screen and backup camera would randomly cut out and the car would make a loud screeching noise when reversing.”

This is spot on. He’s been allowed to get away with this style of driving while others have been penalized. FIA only NOW realizes that their petulant 3 year old has now become a rabid 5 year old and they’re finally waking up to the reality that everyone else has been keenly aware of. A race ban will send a proper…

New WCSYB rule...you can’t submit an entry mentioning a dog without also sending a picture of said animal. :D

Used Toyota Sienna. I would do the drive away from the Rust belt to get something like this.

How is anyone supposed to answer this question without a picture of Hank? While I am sure he is a very good boy, we need to know just exactly how good of a boy he is.
