That affinity could have manifested itself any time during his career. Instead he came up with McLaren-Mercedes and stayed with the works team the whole rest of his career. He’s never expressed an interest in moving until recently when suddenly he wasn’t winning races and was public about his dissatisfaction with the…

So what he’s saying is that Mercedes doesn’t have any idea how to design a car based on the most recent regulations, it’s not likely to improve based on the future regulations, and they’re not accepting his inputs.

Math doesn’t account for consumer confidence. Yes, virtually everything a person does is less safe and more likely to lead to their deaths, but if consumer confidence is shattered with regard to a certain type of plane they will investigate which airlines operate those planes and actively avoid them, which damages the…

The single most thrilling thing I do is ride a motorcycle. I never tire of it, there’s nothing like it.

Or it could have just failed. It is just a machine, after all. Even the most well maintained engine can have a failure.

I actually want this car, I’ve always liked that era of the Grand Prix, but that price is lunacy. I sincerely hope nobody indulges this guy, in the end it’s a nice looking car from a long-forgotten time, but not special enough for that kind of money.

1976, so there are far too many to choose from.

I want to say yes, but a late first-gen/early second-gen paddle shifted transmission in a 15-year-old German car is literally the blueprint for bankruptcy for a person of median income.

The only rude thing I do is get a little closer than is advisable when some moron is blocking the left lane to demonstrate my dissatisfaction. I don’t do it all the time, if there’s traffic they have nowhere to go so there’s no point in being pissed off about it. But if they’re passing a truck doing 65 and it takes…

The car isn’t that old and the engine isn’t that powerful, so it feels like an engine change is indicative of an abusive owner. It also seems like the seller wanted a BRZ so instead of mush-mashing this car he should have just gotten a BRZ.

Under most circumstances I’d agree with you, but he was already stopped, meaning his foot was on the brake pedal, and for this to happen as a “mistake” he would have to remove his foot from the brake and deliberately step on the accelerator knowing that he was going to crash into and through other peoples’ vehicles.

The builder eliminated or minimized everything that made the car iconic.

I came here to mention New Rome, and the other infamous ticket traps of Waldo and Lawtey, Florida. Waldo is the only town AAA ever told their members to completely avoid, and Lawtey is right up the road in that same corridor. And then, of course, there’s this:

Generally speaking, transportation projects like this are usually financed or subsidized with taxpayer dollars. Look at any large city in America, they’ve all tried some sort of mass transport solution with varying degrees of success. Some never make it off the drawing board, some are built as a proof-of-concept and…

OK, I’m going to try to be reasonable here, because I am anything but a Tesla Stan.

OK, so let’s assume he’s correct, which he probably is.

Car drivers in the US are known to get enraged because motorcyclists can split and don’t have to wait in line like they do so they pull up close to the car beside them to stop bikers from getting past them or open their door or something similarly dangerous.

Knowing the reason and understanding it are two different things.

Surmise is a synonym for a supposition or, if you prefer, a guess. Thus it is not a declaration of fact.

I didn’t say, or even suggest, that it was the cause. It was a theory, nothing more.
