I resisted naming my ‘11 GTI for awhile because #attachmentissues but my wife stepped in and just decided we’d use the phonetic pronunciation of GTI: “Jitty”

Every major motorsport discipline “lets” women compete - that’s not the issue. Women are severely underrepresented because they absolutely do not get the same sponsor support that men do, and they are explicitly and implicitly discouraged at the societal level from pursuing a career in motorsports in the first place. S…

Build Bernd a one-off Vulcan. Solves the pace problem and it would probably be louder than any other car on the track. 

The I-Pace on the grounds that it looks like a fucked up Toyota Venza and that its spectacularly bad performance and reliability can only be explained as a plot to subvert the EV as a general concept

In the US: Chicago’s L. It’s cheap ($2.50 per ride with free transfers between bus and train), it’s connected to everything that matters (you can get to both airports via L, *ahem* NEW YORK) and they’re reliable.

The X7. It is everything that is wrong with modern BMW in one gigantic, soulless, ugly package. Fill your garage with an X7-sized pile of Paulaner and get something that’s actually Bavarian and way more enjoyable.

I love Merc, but Merc deserves to be flamed for this. The only way you get interesting colors out of them is by spending extra money on top of their top-range models to get the Designo palette.

Mini. Modern Minis make me morose. Mini is meant to be maximum fun in a mouse-sized package, not morbidly obese monsters from Munich. Mini’s meaning has been mocked and muddied. Time to murder Mini.

To be fair, the responses would probably be different if the questions weren’t coming from Martin Brundle, Formula 1’s very own Uncle Rico. He brings a seriously arrogant and elite vibe to things given that he was a middling driver 30 years ago. Nico and Jenson are more accomplished, more connected to today’s F1, and…

And you’re (presumably) dressed like a m’lady incel but I’m not sitting here judging you for it

synthetic fuels seem like a dead end as well. I don’t see it having a meaningful impact on emissions globally. Too $$$$.

The Conti GT. Even if you’re tall and in the back seat. It’s the coziest, quietest, comfiest, most luxurious cruise missile money can buy.

They could’ve saved their car lineup if they’d just Raptorized all of them. They should’ve made the Fiesta ST a baby WRC car.

How is this worthy of a penalty but Lewis wedging himself up the inside of Copse and causing a 50+G impact that completely destroyed a car isn’t? If that was a racing incident (which I think it was), how is this not?

Agreed - I think George (and Mercedes) are both playing the long game here and I’ll bet that if Mercedes maintains their technological competitiveness, it’ll pay huge dividends for them both in the long run. Lewis doesn’t really conform to any conventional concept of what a driver should be capable of though, which is…

Look, George is great. Love George.

Just leave him alone, he knows what he’s doing.

Watch Alfa randomly produce a badass car with the reg changes and Valtteri gets to just dunk on everyone all season

If I’m honest the back seat comment was a red herring but I’ll stand by the trunk comment inasmuch as the 911's frunk has a large enough opening that you can actually fit frunk-sized objects into it. The Camaro’s trunk lid/opening is comically small. Like you said, poor packaging.

Camaro ZL1 1LE. Overrated solely because people feel this pathological need to bring the 911 into the conversation.
