The same can be said for a lot of city dwellers here in the states too. But give those same people a giant plot of land in the middle of nowhere and these kinds of toys start sounding like a good idea.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy there, tiger.

They put diesel in it? WTF is wrong with people?

I hope whoever stole it gets colon cancer and dies shitting blood while his family laughs.

Good to hear. I once took my daughter to a car show and she asked why the “women next to the cars” wore so little clothing.

Easy there, pal; That thing’s mid-engined, rear-wheel drive, and 2100 pounds.

It takes me 4 seconds to remove my tailgate from a 2008 GMC....

The Ford folks are probably already working on a version that is triggered by different kinds of kicks with a foot to the back bumper.

... and it will use hydraulics. With lines running to the engine.

Impressive. Somewhere, a German engineer is weeping at the complexity they somehow failed to include in a Porsche / BMW / Mercedes product.

That would be a damn shame, the Sky F1 coverage is brilliant!

??? Maybe I’m missing the joke, but it’s the first sentence:

Before anyone starts asking why ‘heroic’ is in quotation marks, let me chime in that a hero is nothing more than a good person dealing with a bad day.

They’re reporters not highway patrol or CalTrans (I dunno wtf its called over there, I’m from Cali so thats the only name I know them by). Parking their van in the middle of the street would be way more dangerous (there’s a lot of dumbass drivers on the road that would probably drive straight into their news van) and…

Correct! When someone wrecks because of suddenly closed lanes the news van has to explain to its insurance carrier just what the fuck they were thinking.

Briefly protecting motorists from blowouts doesn’t solve the problem.

So...they stood around watching while nineteen people in a not-so-high-income part of Detroit suffered triple-digit (if not more) losses to their private property instead of, oh, I don’t know, parking their fucking news van somewhere it fucking BLOCKED the fucking pot hole? Or lighting fucking flares? Or putting…

It looks like some other commenters tire of your puns, but I think this thread will gain traction.

“(Warren police) haven’t done much to repair the whole.”

Bring back the V12! or V10! Or even the V8! (one of which this car has). Just please, please no more turbo V6!! Yes, I know they would be a little slower than the cars of today, but that’s not really the entire point of F1, is it? Maybe for some, it is. Others, however, enjoy the experience as much as the lap times.
