But, he did it with that pompous French accent, so it was erudite and sophisticated.

Will this be the first time an American manufacturer mates a DCT with a V8? I know we’ve seen DCTs in some economy cars, but I can’t think of a DCT in a performance package.

You mean Trump actually owned a car that he paid for with his own money and drove himself? Weird.

Does Ed Begley Jr look hip to you

Who wants electric cars? Rich white people and young ‘hip’ people. The rich white market is largely tapped. If they wanted an electric car, they would have purchased one already. The problem with the young hip crowd is that a signficant percentage of them live in apartments, places where charging stations are even…

Aliens. It’s always been aliens.

The cap is a magic touch.

Domestic house cats will sink a few teeth into even their most beloved humans from time to time

SB: “prohibited items”

For three decades, it has been preoccupied with looking for guns and explosives rather than for dangerous people.

What the fuck is wrong with some people? Hopefully, when that biker finally kills himself on his machine, his will be the only life his stupidity and recklessness will take.

Great comments. I went to the race in Miami and the lack of sound was absolutely bizarre, off-putting in fact. I’m not sure how they get past that or even if they can get past that. But, unless they fix the car-swapping problem you pointed out, it won’t matter.

He will outlast everything in this world, including you and all your descendants.

I did not know that about Speed. In my defense, my cable company didn’t start carrying that channel until it was purchased by Fox.

While I don’t care for the kinds of auctions Velocity carries, I understand that they’re popular with viewers. With respect to their other programming, I think it’s quite good and far superior (today) than what Speed offered at any time.

1st Gear:

It would defy the laws of nature for any broadcast company to be able to do worse job than NBCSN does today. They’re dreadful.

Rescued by Brazillian authorities, without incident, I believe.

Probably not wrong. OTOH, I think it’s interesting, and potentially beneficial, that a media empire is buying F1. Presumably, as a media company, Liberty will understand that to attract eyeballs, you have to appeal to viewers. The single best way to do that, is make the series as competitive as possible.

It’s a small complaint, but I really wish Indycar would shit-can the rolling starts, particularly when they’re at such a beautiful and historic circuit as the Glen is.
