Sure enough, he fell back in Stage 1B today because he got lost and missed a checkpoint...

I meant the double decker car carrier. It was delivered from Georgia (front license plate not required there, so the front bumper looked nice and clean).

Yes. Not a good one, but yes.

People click on articles about Elon Musk, including people who hate when Jalopnik write about him…including you, apparently.

I know guys who are 6’2-6’3, 270 pounds that fit in the FiST I owned for 3 years. It’s a great car to learn manual in, for sure. My brother and I learned how to drove stick in that car and the clutch still felt great at 45k miles when I sold it. The only issues were the HVAC door actuators failing, but that’s a cheap…

Masi is clearly out of his depth. Every time the camera cuts to him, his head is on a swivel. He’s visibly overwhelmed.

Probably. There were a few “McLaren paid off Toyota” conspiracists in 2008.

It’s hip and fresh.

I feel so numb about all of this.

I agree about MOTC. The version with the orchestral intro is great, though. Well, the intro is, anyway. 

I hate that there's so much hate to hate.
