On one hand this a cop flexing their ego. On the other hand don’t speed in a convoy it’s shooting fish in a barrel. Go to a track you clearly have the money.

Ah right, I’m sure she’ll blame everyone but herself. As per usual.

Well now you’ve lost it, caused a scene and done criminal damage - suddenly now the flight is on time. 

The wife has a 2019 Highlander hybrid that does 350 at a push. I just looked it up and it’s supposed to do 480 which is bit concerning... The new ones are supposed to do 615 or so. 

If you’re brave enough you can!

Assuming they have full tank of fuel, how many commonly bought cars have a 500 mile range? I suppose Camry/Sienna hybrids, but I’m struggling to think of any after that.

People rarely buy the car they need. If most people were honest with themselves a Honda Civic would cover 85% of most people’s daily usage.

As the X-Files prophesied. Trust No One.

That makes absolute sense. I once bumped into him at the farmers market in Calabasas and if I had to pick an outfit that made me look that bad I couldn’t. 

I agree, I was meaning excluding all the other crap. I found a website that works out all the timing of average security wait times, whether the flight is usually on time, getting through the airport on the other end etc.. Really useful. You can factor in your costs or ticket x time vs. driving time x cost of fuel…

I’m with you. If you have the time getting a boat from NY to Southampton in the UK only takes 7 days. My grandma used to do it as she hated flying.

This is not sour grapes at all - but that is the least attractive Veyron I’ve seen. The red wheels look like they’re straight from an Autozone.

Air travel in general is just a necessary evil at this point. Getting through an airport (in the US) is a test of patience for security, then you get ripped off for basic food. A small cup of grapes going through an airport over the weekend was $9.99... The airport is loud, people making queues across walkways, people…

LA doesn’t have that humidity problem I suppose. I feel your pain on that.

Depends where you’re going I suppose. My commute by bike is 11 miles each way and that’s from Santa Monica into near Downtown LA. Which is a lump of the whole city.

I cycle everywhere I can in LA but it’s hugely car centric. Most people attending will maybe get an Uber to the station then get the metro to the stadium/event. I think that’s the best we can hope for without a massive overhaul for which there’s no money and no widespread support and therefore zero political will.

I’d love it. I hate sitting in my car. I cycle most places. But you’d be changing the habits of millions of people for a month. There’s not enough political will to get people moving under their own power or using public transport. Public transport in LA is still seen as for poor people. A car is still aspirational.…

Did they think no cars meant there would be no NASCAR events?

It’s not purely about the driving - they’re mostly excellent drivers, even Stroll isn’t that far off Alonso as much as people like to hate the nepotism. The drivers have to be great on camera, brand ambassadors and all that crap. Teams have to be squeaky clean in their private lives (Horny Horner aside) and so a ‘safe…
