I wonder if we could do the same thing in the footwell so I can see just how badly I’ve missed the apex on every corner at the track. Every. Single. One.

Openly admitting to making an ass of myself after thinking about it more. I was going off of just times, and not taking into account speed. I’ve personally watched a Model S at the track have a higher variance than 0.5 seconds across multiple runs, but get that speed over distance is a better measurement. Missing your…

This is going to be one of those times I have to keep pointing out that there are outside variables, like a driver’s reaction time and the condition of the tarmac, which I specifically stated, as well as things I didn’t state like the condition of the vehicles, while a bunch of people keep pointing out shit I already…

I agree that the pissing contest and debating it is silly, and really can’t go wrong with the acceleration of either car. I still say that if you do drag race the two cars dozens of times, without professional drivers, you’ll end up with the two trading which finishes first. I also acknowledge that it is easier to get…

Excerpt from a ramble I had when this came up elsewhere. Note that I previously mentioned that neither car was driven by a professional drag racer.

I never thought I’d actually like red chrome on a car.

Of course it will.

I’m down for a Jeep branded Cactus.

So was Torch weirded out at all that Ford used his name on the phone for promotional shots? I’m reasonably certain there is more than one person named Jason in the world, but it would still weird me out a bit.

1st Gear: This seems very similar to how Apple treats independent repair shops, particularly those who go to the level of component board repair as opposed to replacing the boards. Along those lines, I was in the Subaru lobby while two different people where having issues with spiders nesting inside their Eyesight…

The union has stated that they’re getting involved in Barry’s termination. He posted that the stick to sports memo was against the union CBA on Monday before going ham on non-sports posts. Also, after re-reading this I realized that I spent way too much time yesterday reading up on drama related to a company I don’t…

I did giggle at the BOP asterisk for hp, torque, and weight.

I suppose two things that are somewhat related to how these sites are managed by the newish owners. Yesterday all sites posted memos about the ad packages with auto-play videos with sound, saying the staff wasn’t in favor of them either, and informing readers how to complain to the management company. Those were all…

Going out on a limb here, but seeing as how the shortest comment I’ve read from you was 4 paragraphs long; did you write long form articles at Grantland? :-)

Some great photos in here. It’s been awhile since I added to my collection of rotating pictures for my desktop background.

Your shift key seems to be.... oh. Well played.

I know this was from a bit ago, but I’ve managed to get everything to work flawlessly for the past week by disabling Apple Maps notifications in Carplay. After some tinkering I found that Maps was auto-calculating a route to either home or work when Carplay launched, which caused a pop-up, that was crashing the app in…
