The best part of Skinner on TGT was that he could fucking drive, every second of that segment where he wasn’t talking was a brilliant display of car control that far outstripped any stig imho. Cut the awful cheesy lines, let him say whatever he wants to say and if it’s garbage let Clarkson narrate it like before.

I’d like to think most competent engineers know the faults of their designs and know how to fix them but weren’t given the time or budget to do so.

The dumb thing is they likely DID build cushion into their public timeline which is why a lot of people with any manufacturing experience laughed their asses off while Wall Street went bonkers. Now those same level headed people shrug their shoulders (like the current top comments to the article) and expect strong…

I think it’s a subtle hint at what’s been known for awhile, Musk’s companies have a staffing problem, prestige and a resume builder won’t make rent in California. You don’t get a discount from not going home on the weekends...

You are correct they sponsored the team and the powerplants were still Renault labeled, my mistake.

I’m so hooked on autocross right now I love this picture, the anticipation and foresight and reaction times and downright skill needed to get through a course is incredible and that driver knows what they’re doing, they won’t hit that cone they’ll slide right around it, bending the car around like Raikkonen did at…

If that’s his bullshit game then I’d say that they’ll go back to Infiniti before Honda power at this point, unless of course Honda figures it out and Toro Rosso proves they’re good next year.

“This means creating a new design, new production line, tooling, supply chain, more employees, etc............”

Yeah it does seem crazy, unless he’s using the same ‘rebranding’ bullshit to deny saying that they’re using an existing engine manufacturer (i.e. a Honda that’s Acura/TAG/? branded, which is the most likely next to someone not currently making an engine), a Cosworth provided unit is probably the only manufacturer on…

In the interview yesterday or Friday Horner denied Honda flat out.

Yeah, all Ford F1 engines were Cosworth built, and Cosworth has said they want to be a supplier in 2021 after the rules change. Ford denied F1 rumors earlier this year but I think with Red Bull, Haas, and maybe Cosworth (maybe Mclaren too? they ran Ford-Cos back in the day) knocking at their door with big paychecks…

My money is on Ford.

I’ve done 5x track days, three of them at Laguna Seca, (so it’s not the track’s fault), good instructors too, I had a 10/10 great time, put down some respectable laps and could see committing more to improving at it, but once I got hooked on autox I didn’t have much desire for the track anymore.

Every desirable car that was mass produced seems to have a 50 year depreciation curve, it drops as normal for ~25 years, but at around 20-30 years old people start remembering “Hey that was a cool car, wonder what those cost now?” then they start looking and go “Oh hey, these are cheap!” and they get bought up and…

Pray tell what other reliable <2,500 lbs car with double wishbone suspension on all four corners you can buy for that money without an MX-5 badge on it?

I suppose it depends on if the person in question is looking for a luxury car or a sports car then.

No, they went out and bought FRS/BRZ/86s

Nissan GTR

Heavier, worse suspension design, pass.

3 that look stock near me right now with varying mileage and condition:
