“And you’ve got to love a regular-ass work truck getting senselessly flogged.”

Just like F1. Vettel comes from behind to win this one, and Lewis Hamilton is PISSED!

If Ted Kennedy had been driving a Volkswagen, he’d have become president. (1972 National Lampoon VW Ad)

They won’t allow you internet access.

What an incredible piece of shit. And the 1986 Olds sucks pretty badly too.

Great idea for Beemer and Mini owners who need a source for “inexpensive” OEM replacement parts.

I second the off-topic plea. Alissa Walker is a social parasite. She rants and raves against automobiles and politicizes every bit of technology she writes about. She has zero truly useful skills and provides no value to society. Why pollute this great blog with her garbage.

I think you meant British versus Italian piece of shit.

I would have said lazy, rather than dumb. Or maybe uneducated if not lazy, but that’s different than being dumb. Dumb implies low IQ and that just isn’t reality. Besides, typos don’t mean people are stupid. There are people with very high, above average IQs, that are dyslexic and can’t spell for shit, but they know…

By “Shell” do you mean Royal Dutch Shell plc and it’s holdings, or a “shell” company?

That thing has maintenance written all over it.

Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd would disagree.

You brought it on yourself with your naive generalization that old people are technologically ignorant.

“For you older people who have no idea what that means...”

There are places on this planet where they believe that using the headlights burns more gas, so they don’t use them. Makes for interesting night driving...

Hit the nail on the head. It’s the difference between a mature person, and a self-absorbed, narcissistic ass-wipe. Probably a millennial.

Just ‘cause they’re legal doesn’t mean they’re nice for other drivers. But since you’re the most important person on the road, that obviously means nothing to you.

It’ll be great when AI advances to the point that human designers and engineers are no longer needed. Maybe AI can then also write articles about autonomous racing... and AI will read the articles. Who needs humans?

If they were real men (and woman), they would drive from Turkmenistan, thru Uzbekistan, to Kazakhstan. How could they pass up driving around the Door to Hell?

Drive the fans away with nonsense like this. Then with nobody watching, they can race autonomous cars for meaningless prizes.
