“U.S. automakers lose roughly $6,000 on every $50,000 EV they sell in America,”

I’m guessing it’s the sunk costs of R&D. They were doing the same headlines for Tesla for years, claiming Tesla was going to go bankrupt, losses on every car sold, etc. That was when they were building the Fremont factory, developing the Model S, X. Then building out Nevada and developing the Model 3. Then with the…

Dude was unique. He may have been a greedy bastard, but he also knew what made for good drama on the race track. He would make changes behind the scenes, such as moving drivers based on what would make for the most exciting races and matchups.

What’s the point of winning the championship if you only won because other cars broke?

F1 isn’t the “absolute peak”, deliberately. Performance is capped for safety and money reasons.

I thought F1 is boring because they build the cars so big:

If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. The entire field is basically within one second of each other this year which is wild. The midfield battle is going to be awesome to watch. Qualifyings are going to be exciting. The strategy calls are going to be more important than ever. If all you’re watching for is people…

I truly believe we need to just start killing these people. That will end this shit immediately. The amount of crime these idiots propagate, all for a ridiculous exposition of stupidity that can put lives in danger? Sorry, but Metallica said it: Kill ‘Em All.

I’m really glad I grew up in the era prior to the internet. We went from being told to be careful about particular things in large groups because you MIGHT end up on media being part of something bad, to people purposefully committing crimes for... I guess social media “clout.” Whatever the hell that actually is. As wi…

A bunch of assholes ruining driving for the rest of us.

Whatever happened to bait cars?  Cops still do that?

If you mean these guys, you’re not entirely wrong.

Lately they’ve been doing a major refresh and then a mid-cycle visual refresh. I’m wondering if they don’t have the mid-cycle already designed at the time of the major refresh and they make the initial design just a little dorkier so that 3 or 4 years in they can make it look super cool and keep sales up.

idk...I think the mid-90's Taurus was the blobbiest of them all.

The “new” Honda Accord looked 30 years old the day it debuted.

The blob generation of cars. And if you need a specific example, the Hyundai Coupe is probably one of the worst of those.
