Another vote here for Move Mouse...great little program that keeps Skype from going ‘Inactive x minutes’ (which used to happen to me all the time as I’d be reading a doc or analyzing a process flow). Also keeps the VPN from timing out, because logging back into that is a PITA. You can set it to automatically load on…

I’d say the biggest difference between Barrichello and Bottas is that Schumacher never, ever had to consider a “will he comply or won’t he” scenario with team orders...that has always been a concern for Hamilton with Bottas and Rosberg. Not that I like or support team orders, I’m just saying that it is a reality of…

I just don’t get it...to be honest, I didn’t find it to be much more exciting than the pre-empted practice session...or I guess it would technically be Qualifying and qualifying was the practice session...or maybe it’s....oh, who knows?

Yes, yes....we’ve all read the misinterpretations of the data that you mention many times. I’m not talking about people driving 100mph, though in proper conditions that is NOT unsafe (please re-read that before you flip out) in a well maintained modern vehicle. My point is that they have made it seem like MERELY…

At the risk of being rude, DUUUUHHHHHHH!

Why wouldn’t having the camera off keep this from happening? I mean, the docs say it has to do with the constant correction that occurs with the vibration...if you could turn that fully off while the phone is mounted, you would think that would eliminate the issue. It doesn’t help folks who want to use the phone…

I think one interesting thing about the XC40 Recharge is that it IS an XC40...they took a pretty darned good vehicle and electrified it without too much compromise (i.e. ludicrously small range, like MINI). My girlfriend’s XC40 is only a few months old, so we haven’t had too many road trips in it yet, but the one…

What the stewards need to do is sit Verstappen down in a room with a big TV and play the Turn 4 (lap 1) incident then play the Turn 1 incident and ask him, “What is the difference in these two incidents?” His answer will likely be that Lewis backed off in the first and ‘failed to’ in the second. They should then point…

I had had enough of Verstappen 5 races into his first season…this isn’t NASCAR, rubbin’ AIN’T racin’ in F1. He bullies other cars then whines when it is done to him. He has prodigious talent, so this kind of “using the car as a weapon/wedge” is totally unnecessary…and they let the f-er get away with it. He needs to be…

Oh my, what a list this could be...easier to sum up with “Everything!”

Or....and I know this is crazy talk...they could build a faster car.

Wouldn’t it be truly silly if someone at Cadillac had an issue with the frequent references to a “North Star”?

What about the “Incarnations of Immortality” series by Piers Anthony? Not all of the books in the series are great, but some of them are (the first one, “On a Pale Horse”, especially). They did get a bit of that Star Wars ‘everyone is related’ thing happening, but it was more about telling the story from different…

Damn...saw the headline and came in to post...318ti. Oh well. It is far more fun then the GR or MX-5 because those cars stick...this one sticks to nothing, at least not in the rear. On wet roads it makes my ‘87 IROC from ‘back in the day’ seem like it was on rails (it wasn’t).

We have definitely reached the level of visual technology where much of the Sci-Fi/Fantasy fiction out there can be produced...CGI isn’t perfect, of course, but it’s pretty darned good. So those fantastic environments and creatures could be put on a screen like never before...

I think that all the ‘flying boat’ style aircraft had a nose hatch, to aid in mooring when on water...

Quick answer: anything that has a lousy clutch or shifter.

That one might wind up going for a reasonable price...it’s in Canada, and cars north of the border have been taking a big hit on BaT for a while now, even with the border supposedly more ‘open’. Everyone just assumes that they are going to have a nightmare with paperwork and getting it registered and insured.

One just sold on Cars and Bids a few days ago. I’d argue that the Geo version was wedgier, though...the nose on the Impulse was a bit blunt, more slanted on the Storm.

You can’t touch an RX-7 GSL-SE for $25k anymore, sadly. Last few on Bring a Trailer have gone for more than that...
