I’m kinda surprised they don't just punt the car out of the way with the fire engine.

Not intentionally...

I don’t know that!

No, that's a bunch of coconuts.

It does pose the question - is the truck in fact shaped like a whistle, rather than this whistle being shaped like the truck?

The current Vantage is likely the most clean-sheet, least chrome-accented car they’ve ever made.

The right green though. Which for an Aston is not BRG. It’s Almond Green:

At best it seems like a hoax, at worst it's an attempted fraud. And a fraud that might net you a substantial amount of money.

“Imagine how we will look back on driving your own car in 10-15 years from now.”

Hundreds of ksi would be in the GPa range of pressure, so that would explain the name.

I suspect you're right, if the driver had actually braked. Seems like they were not paying nearly enough attention to the road in front.

Exactly. They can’t unlearn how to make things fast. It’s part of the reason that even with formula changes, the top teams are likely to stay at the top - they have built up institutional knowledge about how to build a fast car which applies fairly generally.

The short answer is yes - they’ve been slowed down periodically for a long time now by the governing body. It hasn’t stopped them from still getting faster and faster:

There’s an interesting little video on this that I think was featured on Jalopnik a while ago, looking at the evolution of F1 laptimes. They keep managing to get faster (eventually), even with all the changes made to slow them down:

UPDATE TIME:

Climb stairs, like those funny sack trucks.

That is pretty damn accurate. No need to build prison walls when most people who escaped would just die in the bush.

I mean, I wear glasses, but that doesn’t really seem salient.

As an aside, the A80 was really only popularly known in its TT guise, usually with those two turbos exchanged for a single the size of a watermelon tuned to either make 4 figures on a dyno or as a drag monster. It was pretty much ignored before F&F made it desirable.

I wonder whether the reaction would have been more positive if this Integra was a replacement for the Civic coupe instead?
