It’s kinda like the automotive version of the Human Centipede.

American can hardly get a plane off the ground on schedule without a rogue catering cart. I’m shocked that this only caused a 10 minute delay. 

Are you in Orange County? Kinda looks like it. 

Now I'm regretting my CP vote. 

Am bedbug. Can confirm.

For sure... I think the only thing that could have prevented the accident is if Hubert’s car didn’t bounce back into the runoff area, or if maybe Correa would have had a better line of sight coming over the hill and could have taken a different line, but neither of those things can be changed without fundamental

I’m conflicted here... Spa is my favorite track on the calendar, and I really don’t want to see it changed, especially its signature corner. But I feel like something really bad was bound to happen here for the reasons you cited... it’s an extremely fast corner that’s essentially blind as you crest the hill. The

I don’t think that wanting to see what happened and trying to analyze it is really wrong or weird, but you know, there are a lot of sick ass people out there who seem to get off on watching people die. I mean, the video is out there for people to see, but I’m glad that it wasn’t included in the Chain Bear video.

IS300/350 AWD. Looks good (subjective, but certainly more upscale than a Corolla), they’re reliable, they don’t come with the German maintenance bills, and nice pre-owned examples can be had for +/- $30k. The back seat is a little bit tight, but I think you can probably still stick a couple of car seats back there.

This was quite educational. I only watched the actual footage once, and it was hard to see exactly what happened due to the fact that the camera shot was mainly focused on the cars coming through Eau Rouge/Raidillon. By the time the camera changed, Hubert had already impacted the wall and by then it was just flying

I saw one of these beasts on the 210 freeway just outside of Pasadena last week. The driver, naturally, was busy staring at her phone and generally being a menace to those around her, but the X7 itself was a lot less offensive in person than I thought it would be. Still entirely too large for me personally, but I

Fuck. This is heartbreaking. Another massive loss to the motorsport community. RIP Anthoine. Gone way too soon. 

Exactly... plus, it keeps your lawn chairs from becoming projectiles. As long as you don’t tear up the liner in your pool, it’s pretty much an ideal solution. 

I’ve got three friends who live in coastal Florida... this is absolutely a thing, and a pretty logical one if you think about it. 

Of course the machine isn’t at fault. It’s reacting to inputs... inputs from an unskilled driver who is given a false sense of security because they think that their machine is more capable than it is.

I’ve never used a mobile tire service... in fact, I didn’t even really know that it’s a thing, but I’m thinking that I just might use one next time I need tires.

When I get hit by some fucking idiot in an Outback who’s driving like a dumb ass because they think they’re invincible in the snow because they have AWD, then yes, that is harming me. Otherwise, no.. I really don’t give a shit. I don’t care what they drive, I just care that in some cases it gives people a false sense

Tremendous name.

It’s a statement based on personal observation from 25+ years of living in the snow belt. Is it statistically correct? Who knows - probably not. It could also be that there was generally a higher number of SUVs and trucks around where I lived, so it’s more likely that you’ll find them in a ditch because there are just

I drive an AWD car currently and I’ve owned a number of them over the years. My issue is not with the perceived need for AWD, it’s with the people who think that AWD is going to save their ass when things get snowy/icy/rainy. I lived in the Midwest for years, and when we’d get big snow or ice, the cars you’d see most
