Then they don’t have to, but are allowed if they choose. You can hold a trademark and not use it.

Gene is an emotional guy, this fits his personality. If I remember correctly there was a team owner who said “a burnt Nikki is faster than a healthy anybody else.” Almost the opposite sentiment to Gene, but both are valid. 

Just an FYI for anybody interested in buying one of these. That fucking silver shit all over the interior, it is very reflective and will blind you while driving on a sunny day. I have a Lariat F-150 and Ford never does enough brushing on their silver trim turning it into a nightmare. It might be OK for year 1, but…

I almost bought a convertible M3 in that color. I was shopping for a dark grey one with red interior. The guy searching for me offered a yellow one with light grey interior for around 5K less than any of the others he could find.  I passed on it.  Then I saw it a few weeks later and it looked really good.  

My question about this thing is: how much turbulence is created behind it? That diffuser and the fan are going to suck the car to the ground, but what is left in the wake? Are other cars at the track day going to have issues being behind this or will it passing create aero issues for other cars?

In Jalopnik’s defense half the staff are Brooklyn hipsters who have never owned a car and who think mass transit is the answer.  The other half somehow have not yet been fired, but I give it a few months before the completely ruin the site.  

I had a dealer not give me my car keys back once. It really pissed me off and they unsold the car because they were total dicks.

Does anybody remember when politicians would make vain attempts to physically solve problems like this? I feel like when I was a kid in the 80's politicians didn’t fly to Cabo, they grabbed a shovel and started literally digging. Of maybe chop some fire wood. They sent a message that look I get it there is a problem…

I live in Helena Montana and it seems like half the vehicles I see are slightly lifted Outbacks. They look great and are ideal for our area with deep snow and lots of dirt rutted roads.

The van also has a FB waffle going.  $100 a ticket.  I always love when stuff like that pops up near my in-laws, will let everybody know if I win it. 

From a driving standpoint I would take the F12 TDF.

No offense to French people, but Prost to me is the ultimate stereotype of French people to me. Admitting that stereotypes are always terrible, just like Prost. I watched Senna with a non-car loving friend and they asked me if the movies intended to make Prost the bad guy.  I replied, no if anything they made him look…

Didn’t read the article, but that picture perfectly captures how I feel about Senna and Prost.

My reaction to this commercial was simple. Why is Bruce driving an open Jeep in the snow?  If he gets sick and dies from this I hope Jeep dies too.  The guy is a national treasure and they have him driving around in the snow in an open vehicle??? 

What if they created technology that allowed you to “remove” teams from the coverage? Use the camera angles and do some automated commentary for each theoretical race that could happen with each combination of teams.

I like how that guy has to lean across what is a clean truck in the pictures.  Do that with my truck and everything you are wearing is now covered in road grime.  

My 93 S-10 was the same way! My 2012 F150 has a dam ladder built into the tail gate because the truck sits too high.  So not only is it a pain to hop onto the tail gate that tail gate weighs twice as much as it should because they had to put a step in it.  

If there is one thing I always ask for in a pick up it is for the bed to be taller so I can better injure my back loading the dam thing. Why do people want lifted pickups? They are a complete pain in the back, give me a low accessible truck bed.

I could see my F150 being with me till the end. More because it has buttons and switches and no touch screens. I really don’t care about the gas vs electric issue. But I hate having to take off my gloves to make the car do something. The dealer tried to talk me into a new one this year and after 2 minutes inside a new…
