I like the shot of the smudgy controller glass. That’s real. 

No safety measure will ever provide accurate numbers of how many lives it saved.

Not exactly sir, the Sauber was also moving forward. Without the Halo redirecting the McLaren (which it did, see the slow motion video), the impact point you show in the above drawing would have been lower, where the steering wheel is. However, given the forward direction of the Sauber, without the Halo, the McLaren…

OK, maybe it didn’t save a life today.  Regardless of direction of travel, the halo and edge of the cockpit took an impact that would have resulted in SOMETHING entering the cockpit and hitting LEC.   That is all that really matters.  Your question is, honestly, ignorant and the “convince me other wise” bullshit just…

Tree falls in middle of forest, dude does that, applause.

I think applause would just break out immediately regardless of where this happened.

Also, limits exit in case of fire.

I think that the halo’s safety benefits were never in doubt, it’s just fucking ugly.

You know what’s ugly? A dead driver when the windshield collapses.

Shut up. 

You may joke, but Greg Whitten used to take this to Cars and Coffee-type events in Redmond, WA.

I always wondered how those dopey, agro white trash “reality” shows continued to thrive. I mean, what kind of slack-jawed mental midget could swallow a bunch of stupid low-brow machismo, loosely tied around motorcycle building or storage lockers or fishing or gold prospecting or whatever?

It’s like catching up with a friend from college who now has 3 kids, no sleep and drinks Michelob Ultra once a month to “loosen up”. Subaru, what happened friend?

Now if only they’d start selling minivans like this:

It’s almost as if the vast majority of people view automobiles as appliances...

NO COLLUSION, FAKE NEWS!

I really wish more manufacturers would offer green again. I feel like most are not offering colors, but shades. You want a car? You can have it in white, silver, grey, or black. Oh you want a color? Well here’s a dark blue and a bright red.

Quite correct, Tom. Notice how the green car in this group stands out so much more than the dark anonymous shapes next to it:

I was driving to enter a race, my truck caught on fire
