Sadly, the Scion is kinda beat to rat shit. I had a minor crunch on the front fender that was my fault, and a slightly less minor crunch from being rear-ended by an uninsured driver. My uninsured driver insurance paid me for the rear one, but since the front is already hosed I just pocketed the cash. The interior is…

I must admit I’m on Battery #3 in my Scion, but it’s 14 years old too and I just put in the third one about six months ago. I also replaced the first light in it last summer. A headlight bulb, which was extremely irritating to replace because I had to remove the battery to get to it. Even then it was difficult. I need…

Unfortunately that’s the way Motorsports goes. If someone shows up at your door with $25k to race and they want Trump on the car, you put Trump on the car. If someone showed up offering $50k for Bernie, they’d put Bernie on the car. Racing and Sponsors demands go hand in hand. Many Chevy drivers have historically been…

Great news! BUT, Ryan! You’re sponsor fucking sucks! 

If my calculations are correct... then you’re gonna see some serious shit.

Absolutely not, we learn from all of these incidents. I hope this still spawns some type of safety improvement, be it in the cage, car, type of racing, ect. We should not let a close call be just that and wipe our hands of any responsibility to do better in the future.

The Veyron is ugly too. So is the Chiron. There, I said it.

TBH aren’t all Bugatti’s ugly?

Well and even the whole “a person surely wouldn’t do 85 in the right context”.

I see xkcd comic, I click star.

Duck tape:

Yeah, a human driver might not be fooled by that 3, but you could definitely make a fake speed limit sign that would fool them (assuming the road was at least somewhat manageable at that speed)

It’s good to know that there’s still a small chance the old “thought the route marking was the speed limit” joke will live on in our robot future.

NASCAR just attracts the same demographic that any self-described “macho” sport would if based solely in the Bible Belt.

And it's present in most sports, too.  Fighting in hockey. Plunkings in baseball.  In fact, basketball is really the only major sport I can think of that's gotten noticeably less violent and simultaneously much more popular over the recent decades.

Football games show instant replays of players breaking limbs, tearing ligaments and bones out of sockets, and being knocked unconscious from head impacts.

Lets be brutally honest, NASCAR is not a racing series, its a crashing series. Other than 2 actual races, the rest of the year NASCAR is deliberately doing everything they can to keep the cars bunched up for “good racing” and when they say good racing, they mean giant multi-car crashes.

I’d like to see the elimination of the “push draft” or whatever it’s called. The cars are fuel injected, now so they need to have a switch installed behind the front bumper that when triggered, the fuel supply shuts down. Bump someone to draft, coast to the pits. Pit maneuver the leader into the wall, coast to the…

A few of us don’t own cars. But I have owned cars before, and I just reviewed the Mini SE and have reviews of the Taycan and Boxster GTS coming. Next week I’m driving cars so cool I’m not allowed to talk to them for two months, and then a couple of weeks after that I’m driving a McLaren to Geneva. Ignoring the work we…
