Isn’t that how carbon credits are designed to work?  I thought the whole idea was to reward low-polluters and force high polluters to pay more to conduct business?

There were many EV companies, and many car companies that had everything they needed to make good EVs, and they didn’t - only Tesla got everything right (car design, efficiency, battery efficiency and safety, high speed charging, performance, etc.) that succeeded in the marketplace when the rest didn’t. And, before…

I got to meet Dan Gurney at a Grand Prix Tours event at the 2000 United States Grand Prix. Phenomenal individual.

He looked like a total badass. The control of his weapon points to adequate training. Glad he’s armed and spraying our highways for justice.

At the time of this event, I was a teenager who had just started following motorsports. There was relatively little coverage of events like this and we often had to wait for monthly magazines to read about them. Imagine waiting six weeks and only getting a short mention of this event in an article shorter than this…

Thanks man! This one was fun to write. It’s always great when you find out some mundane thing has an interesting history and then you get to share it with people.

Dealers are like, “OMG!!! We have 2018s in stock!” Meanwhile, Nissan and Dodge are still peddling 2008 models.

Maybe just building bland cars with massively unhealthy kidney grilles wasn't a good plan

Probably on par with the RS3

You can also make the same dumb decision in your thirties. My 525i 5MT looks great, but between the wheels and tires, springs and sporty shocks/struts the ride will break your back and knock out loose fillings. Never again.

David,

There will be a British company making them soon.

Several drivers in various series have sustained vertebrae injuries when their tub has hit the pavement like that. Even a hard bottoming out over a curb or whatnot without crashing has caused a few injuries. I’m sure this issue is being addressed as new tubs are designed or existing cars are modified.

You guys really need to start adding an audio recording of the exhaust note/engine sound on these write ups, something to accompany the great photos.
I can’t think of how many of these I have read and then had to go dig up a youtube video to hear em.

Not enough people do...

I find the critiques of this show fascinating:

My son has a heart defect and at the grand old age of 2, has had three open heart surgeries and currently has his sternum wired closed. An armor protector like this could help him immensely with pain and sensitivity to his ribs when doing every day activities in the future like school and sports.

A sad day for all citizens of the CoDominium.

As usual the real lesson here is; nothing matters, life is meaningless. Let’s move on.
