The real question: How much money is Kvyat bringing?

Wow, an automotive journalist who can’t see that he ran several miles on a flat and chewed his sidewalls to bits? Oh, sorry, I forgot this was Jalopnik......

So.....in homage to a guy who is famous for being a fast and reckless driver, and died driving fast and recklessly, the event gets attended by guys who are fast and reckless? Gee, I’m surprised.......

Shoulda dropped an LS into it......

There is something sold at auto-parts stores just for your problem. It’s called 20w50 motor oil. Just put the thicker oil in and run it until it craps out. I doubt your neighbors will mind the oil smoke, considering that you are already running a junk yard.........

Yes, seriously? Do you often take letters from drunken idiots? But, yeah, I’ll have to add “Marshall Law” to my lexicon of gag names to put down on petitions, along with Eileen Dover, Seymour Butz, and Heywood Jablome.....

January 13, 1982. I was driving from Charlotte NC to Rochester, NY in my boss’ 197? Ford Torino wagon. It was snowing, 2" expected, and they were already cancelling school for that day and the next. Being from the snowbelt, I just laughed it off, avoided the clueless southerners spinning their cars off the road, and…

As a kid in Colorado, I remember seeing the FC Jeeps being used by park rangers.

In cycling, such a person is known as a “domestique”; he’s there to support the star, except when the star is not in contention. Raikkonnen fills this position at Ferrari most races, but at Red Bull, I think that Ricciardo was tired of playing second banana....

I feel a little sorry for Kimi. He’s been relegated to the position of a ‘domestique’ in the team (there only to support Vettel), and the ONE time he had a real chance to shine, the team lets him down. They couldn’t bring enough sets of soft compound tires? Ferchissake, this was essentially the local race for both…

That’s not even close to that stage end at the TdF a few years ago; somebody erected one of those inflatable arches over the finish line. Somebody accidentally unplugged it, and the arch fell just as the ENTIRE peloton came through, with chaos ensuing....

Considering that a 1974 VW had all of, what, 48 hp? Can you imagine getting behind one of these things heading up Cajon summit?

Frankly, WD-40 is something that I wouldn’t use, period. Maybe for freeing up a frozen lock in the winter, but that’s about all. It’s a solvent, not a lubricant; there are cheaper and better solvents for just about any job.

I once ended up pulling a 48" trailer that had whacked a ditch or something. It wanted to take up half of the left lane while I was driving on the right lane!

I remember some 20+ years ago, Denise and Brock Yates traded jabs on their respective magazine columns. I asked Brock about it once, but it seemed that they were really the best of friends....

THERE IS NO PLAN B! YOU ARE KAMIKAZE!!!!!!

Those pictures are recent (note the modern SUV in the background). That much rust after 50 years? Considering that they all rusted to smithereens here in the northeast by about 1982, I’d say this one is in pretty good shape!

So.....are they considering selling the Hongqi here in the US? Will they change the name? I doubt the “Red Flag” would work as a name, and the pronunciation of Hongqui sounds a lot like “honkey”...(insert bad racial joke here...).

There were a few states (Pennsylvania comes to mind) that taught drivers to do just that. I know as recently as 35 years ago, this was still in the state driver’s manual. Also, in and around New York City, there are a few on-ramps that actually have a stops sign at the end.

Having about 1 million miles on 18-wheelers, I can attest that, yes, it IS possible that he didn’t see or feel the collision (I assume the Merc driver managed to “Pitt maneuver” himself by cutting over too soon), but part of me thinks that the truck driver just wanted to take the jerk for a bit of a ride.
