Counterpoint: the Youabian Puma.
Why do the bad cars always look so damn good!

The Life F1 team. As noted in my previous article about them:
Congratulations, Mr. John Pearley Huffman, on COTD today! I would like to award you with a yellow Ferrari which this lovely lady will deliver soon. You know that she is #1.
At a certain point, you stop being shocked by how many people have died here. The shock is how many are still alive.
