This whole fiasco was weapons-grade dumbfuckery from the very start.

The official iceboat speed record remains the one set on Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin, way back in 1938. It was (hold your breath) 143 miles an hour.

It reminds me of the Mercedes test track at Stuttgart.

Red Bull costs you wiiiiiiings!

Yet the door seams are still more uniform than a Tesla. 

I was a little suspicious that it was actually a brake failure, but a photographer had a moment right before his crash that showed a brake pad(s) exiting the assembly and on the track, so it’s true.

That was in the normal times, the before times, but we live in the stupid ages now.

I think the British version is called Freeman/Freeman on the Land.

I own a 2011 QP. a few minor annoyances (starting sticky buttons ect) but the real hiccup is maintenance and minor repairs if you aren’t willing to do it yourself. An oil change using appropriately spec’d oil is about $100 vs 4-500 if you take it to a dealer. All the maserati’s of this era have failure of window…

Private aircraft do not get priority. They are waiting in line, just like the majors. Even the majors are flying smaller planes, meaning that two 80-seat planes are replacing one 160-seat plane.

No flights are prioritized over any other. All aircraft operating within an airspace need to be allocated takeoff slots, based partly on the limited number of runways. Furthermore, IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) takeoffs are sometimes held on the ground (a ground hold) until the destination airport has a landing slot…

Oof. No Fancy Kristen. No Torch, Patrick, David, Stef, Travis, Doug, Tavarish, Ballaban... and now no Raph.

Orlove’d.

Fun fact about the picture- If you turn it upside down, you can make a bunch of fascists do the YMCA. 

I propose an experiment where someone gives me a Ferrari and I confirm or discomfirm your hypothesis.

In Canadian math, we would call it 65 kilometres, 40 miles

i doubt there were lenders. the cars were found at a grow house. the most likely scenario is that the growers had cash they couldn’t account for and couldn’t think of anything better to do with so they bought cars. probably using fake identities because cash purchases are reportable.

A supercar is a sports car with too much power for a public road.

Tell me about it. I spent a long time just getting by in lower-end IT jobs, and it seemed like every time I got out of a hole there was another one just ahead. It wasn’t as bad as the people in this article, but I did make some bad decisions, luckily though I never got sucked into payday or other predatory loans. The…

Thanks, I try. If you like my stuff tell Patrick patrick@jalopnik.com
