Probably fixing this. I hit a wall at Pitt Race pretty hard and destroyed the entire left side of the car. Thankfully I had a parts car in the same color, but getting the quarter panel back into shape was a new adventure in body work for me.

A couple years ago I needed to have a car shipped. That business is filled with unscrupulous assholes. I had one shipper reach out to me with a picture of a Tesla semi in his email sig. When I asked him if that was a picture of his truck, he said, ‘it sure is!’

I don’t love DRS, either. But here’s why I don’t think we’ve seen a situation where DRS was ‘a bit overpowered’: we never saw them trading positions lap after lap. If it was overpowered, I would think we’d see drivers be passed and then get the chance to get the position back on the next lap. 

Several years ago, I had a W210 wagon. We were in another state visiting family when the transmission started acting up. I took the car to a local ‘German car expert’ shop.

First, I hope the owners of the RV are compensated. I don’t want anybody to think I’m about to blame them. They rented to some shitbags and deserve to be made whole.

But I won’t be interesting and feel special!

Aren’t those pedals labeled backwards? The right one takes battery power away and the left one returns it.

I have been fortunate to own several great cars. But the one I will miss the most, forever, is my race car. For those few seasons I competed, I got to experience actual race car thrills. It taught me so much and I will never forget what it felt like to control something just over its limits.

This is one of those situations where everybody involved is an asshole.

Qualifying was insane. Each session delivered so much excitement. I dared not hope that Mags would hold on to pole until Russel had his bizarre spin.

Unfortunately, a very large troll army cares what he thinks.

Did you miss the part where dozens of Tesla engineers were sent to Twitter?

I don’t think Kyle is saying the sound of a car doesn’t matter. I think he’s saying that this one sounds different than the original engine doesn’t matter.

Oh yes, that will do. The LMH class has had a difficult gestation. I’ve been excited, then disappointed, then excited again. With cars rolling out, I’m hopeful.

I don’t know, and it doesn’t really matter why. The request was for weird dealership stories, and I found that experience weird in the market that existed at the time.

I bought a new Subaru Ascent last December at a discount. It was wild. In a market where new cars were scarce, dealers were charging markups, and the store was packed with people buying the few cars the dealer did have, we were going to wait for the color we wanted. They were like, ‘what’s it going to take to get you…

The internet provides. Norway’s traffic deaths per 100k are much, much lower than the US. Under two, vs 11. Norway has one of the lowest rates of traffic fatalities in the world.

I think the people who live on those rural country roads might disagree with  you.

I really want to visit Norway. I don’t mind driving slowly.

I doubt the goal here is to make it easier to change logos on the car, and that the bigger draw is animated or at least backlit logos. The possibilities are really quite interesting.
