Personally, I hate the Tesla door handles. The idea is cool and all, but the execution is sucky and prone to failure. Either have door handles, or don’t; I prefer the latter option. Surely there’s a better solution that retains the CD benefit.

Rubber tyres are too modern and too liberal for Pence’s plane.

This was a compelling and heartbreaking read. The two salient subtexts to my mind are how mental illness is largely swept under the rug in America (until it progresses too far and ends in death or incarceration, surely an indelible stain on American healthcare and society), and secondly - and I suggest a reason why…

I particularly enjoyed this part of the photo story. Good work, Hoover!

And you can also use it to hold your toast!

Hey, I called HAM-ROS-and erm, Red Bull <cough> <cough>! Just that I went out on a not very sturdy limb and said VES would be on the third step not the the custodian of the Shoey-induced-chunder-from-down-under (RIC). Pretty easy really.

Whoops! My terrible, no good, very bad faux pas. It was Alanis King not Kristen Lee who wrote the article forecasting this weekend’s F1 result. Many apologies to both Alanis and Kristen for mixing them up (and not doing due diligence and checking before I committed text to web).

Fair do’s to COTA. They put on a great event. IMHO the circuit is a great high speed track, perfect for F1 and WEC.

Totally. In response to Kristen’s prescience on Friday I forecast Ham-Ros-Ves. Danny Ric filled in for Max when the latter’s car expired, but Danny would probably have taken 3rd spot even had it not, thanks to starting on super-softs which played out as he expected. But I believe the forecasting was done before qualy.…

Fuelled with 100 RON Dennis gas. Will never step down, will never give up!

Pretty much my forecast too, except it will be Verstappen on the 3rd step. Vettel will probably DNF again. Things are getting desperate at the cavallino rampante.

From the scuttlebutt I’ve read, KMag’s biggest problem is not so much in the car - even if losing it at Radillon didn’t help buoy his stock - but his attitude out of it. He’s not as committed (read: obsessively, exclusively, to the point of being the last person to leave the sim at 2am) as Renault, or other teams want…

KMag looks suitably unimpressed and cheesed off and like he’d rather not be there, which from the end of this season he probably won’t be, sad to say. Still, IndyCar isn’t that bad, even if you already said you’d rather be in a miserable Lewis Hamilton-centric F1 driver press conference than an Indy car.

Go total another Tahoe.

At least now we know that “deep fat” is in fact healthy.

Get out of Jalopnik!

To me it looks like the car in Woody Allen’s Sleeper. More of a transport appliance than a car.

Am I the only one skeeved out by the new Teslas’ lack of a face? It has dystopian future written all over it. Where the face usually goes. I don’t normally anthropomorphize cars, but this is just wrong. I prefer the original Model S to any of the new, anonymous droids that have been produced since the Model X made its…

Where’s the Onion attribution in the original post?

Oh man! Come on, man. We’re Jalops, man. We know a’Vette from a Trans-Am. S’ing my h, man.
