And yes I know what it is like when it rains in LA. I flew by a lot of drivers on the 405 because I'm quite familiar with what highways are like in the rain. The fact that many drivers slowed down indicates caution not recklessness.

Seriously L.A. is a piece of cake compared to Chicago. The only issue with LA is volume. DC... is just a special kind of awful due to the layout.

I blame the road layout not the drivers. I did so in my comment above. Chicago is worse only because if you're not speeding 20mph you're likely to get shot. by someone with road rage.

1) I am better than average.

Here's a good question.

Holy crap what a massive spoiler that is. The show has been so boring the last few seasons.

Normally i'd LOL with you, but BBC America is now airing it next day. Waiting a day to publish wouldn't be the end of the world.

So you get power on Monday and Friday. nice!

Only way to get cruise control on an Impreza is to get something other than the base model which is too bad as well. I live in the midwest with some long boring stretches of highway.

Entry level AWD options.

Is it true that all attention is good attention? I'm in the process of switching insurance companies after that ad. That was awful.

Rumor has it they're considering a September 15 date for laguna. Sonoma probably won't be happy about that after agreeing to host the season finale on August 30. The series schedule is a joke. April 1 - August 30. So dumb.

The track isn't in any condition to be raced.

No.

There's a lot of horrible decisions being made by Indy Car management but if you've watched the racing since the introduction of the DW12 the actual product has been better than it ever has. I'm more angry than is reasonable at the pathetic schedule they're running, but the on track product is too good to pass up.

Austria was backed by Red Bull and had affordable tickets.

Hrm. That's disappointing, but understandable... maybe someone should tell the track that the prices are too high? Maybe attendance would go up if the supply/demand curve was optimized.

How has nobody suggested Maranello the home to Ferrari yet?

Good point. Fuji handles most of Japan's testing.

The #1 answer though is your local track. It is the one you take your car to and enjoy something you can't do anywhere else.
