That’s crazy! But at the same time it makes sense, the GT4 platform is global so they can sell them to a lot more customers and lower the cost. I think those McLarens Compass run are basically just the stock cars with cages, so even more cars to spread the cost!

Hey uh heads up, if you’re 30 you’ve never been legally able to go 100 mph on the roads.

There’s no reason to go 100 MPH (let alone higher) on public roads. Again, I love cars....but going 100 MPH is dangerous & wasteful for exactly zero benefit. If either of my cars were limited to 100 MPH, it would literally never…

Yes, sure, if they’re not dealing in reality or with facts. But you’ll agree that arguing with someone who’s irrational is a fool’s errand, anyway.

Neat

Cruise ships are transportation. We report on transportation. When one of our family sites posts a transportation blog, it usually gets shared here. It’s that simple. 

Yeah it’s not just as simple as stripping the interior and welding in a cage like it is for some grassroots racing. There’s a lot of extra stuff that needs to happen to meet various rules and regulations or be competitive in the field 

Not all views deserve to be treated equally and with respect.

If you don’t believe in climate change, your views should not be considered equally with the views of those who do believe in climate change.

To look at them equally, as nothing more than opinions, would be journalistic (and ethical) malpractice.

I think I understand why you’re quarantined normally.

We shared something from Earther this morning because cruise ships deserve our ire. 

You should put Travis into the grays.

“Some people who know and love cars and don’t live in NYC would be nice.”

I love cars. I own two, modifying both.

I’m also a human who can see that I’m a part of the problem and do what I can to minimize the damage I do.

It is easy to do both. Jalopnik’s target demo seems to be smart people who like cars but don’t want to be the direct cause of the ruination of human life. Don’t be a…

In case anyone was unclear, this “stick to cars” is a sarcastic commentary on the “stick to sports” edict that annihilated Deadspin and has lead to such an immense staff turnover at this website. If you think that Jalopnik should stick to cars, please take this moment to punch yourself in the face as hard as…

Part of the issue with costs is down to the cars they use. I remember the ST fielded Mini’s had to be completely gutted and have custom ECU’s and wiring which ballooned the cost for them, and those are the “cheap” cars. In order to eliminate all of the electrical systems now it requires full system tear downs rather…

You know, you can be a fan of cars and still not want people driving in the most dense city in the U.S. that is served well by public transportation. I love driving (manual only!) and had a car when I lived in NYC, but I never drove it around the city. It was only to get out of the city. 

lmao, what sort of driving enjoyment are you getting by driving around Manhattan?

There’s a reason why the ratio of Top Gear segments filmed in the Alps to segments filmed in Manhattan is about 50 to 1.

I’m in a wheelchair, so I don’t quite have the same labor load as the other racers, but I absolutely love being the starter and waving the flag for each racer.

For me it is an issue of sore old feet from standing on a hard surface for that long. I always like being the starter and sitting in a chair sending people on their way, or working timing where again I sit and make sure the equipment is recording times correctly. Standing on a hot surface for hours chasing cones is…

Last I checked, the correct number of bikes was always n+1
