    D is for Drone?

    Honda says their 2.0-liter i-VTEC engine produces "more than 280PS", which is about 276 horsepower, if not more when it goes to production. (We all know it will be more like 505 horsepower when you factor in VTEC.)

    Jaguar F-type Coupe R. Also, just to be fair, no BMW i8 option?

    I saw a debadged 2-series on CA Distributor plates being driven around Westchester Co NY today. It was being driven slow as F.

    When the fat dude makes his appearance, look to the right.

    I think Speedhunters implied they're going to do a story on that car.

    What about Alonso's pass on the outside at Copse on lap 35?

    While I am happy to pay more for the direct flights they do have from JFK, like to SFO and LAX, I wish they had more routes. It ends up taking me almost all day to get to SEA from JFK because of a layover in SFO. They have a couple midweek direct flights to PSP from JFK during the winter, but for flexibility with…

    I gather the aluminum structure technology used in the XE requires thicker pillars, so a similarity to the X and S-types seems unlikely.

    Compare it to the also new for 1984 Ferrari Testarossa, which gave you 390 hp from 4.9L. BMW has it beat on hp / L.

    No I'm using a Garmin device for GPS.

    I have lost the GPS signal a number of times while in Central Park.

    It's got a top speed of 30 miles per hour, though that's limited to just 5 miles an hour in Central Park, and it'll have a 100 mile range on six hours of charge. It's not Tesla Model S territory, but it'll do the job it was meant to do.

    I just made it to the Thursday practice. I think that worked out ok though, because it was very informal, and you could wander around and check out the cars being readied. It was also apparent to me that the paddock at Laguna Seca had suddenly become very European.
