I would say it is exponentially more aggravating if the supposed off-the-shelf $2 part fails. If you had a $45,000 part that cost thousands upon thousands of dollars more for R&D, is incredibly intricate, and built within the very tightest of tolerances, it still sucks. But the knowledge of its intricacy lends a…

For want of a connector the air line was lost.
For want of an air line the wastegate was lost.
For want of a wastegate the turbo was lost.
For want of a turbo the power was lost.
For want of power a lap was lost.
For want of a lap the race was lost.
And all for the want of a turbo line connector.

yeah, it’s a Volts Wagon

All of the women I ever dated were fast. I’ll see myself out now. Sorry, so sorry. :-)

This is definitely a very weird story, with lots of unanswered questions and really only one side being told. As you said, Jason, there is a chance that the police have a truly valid reason for impounding these cars as part of a currently classified investigation. But that’s complete speculation, and could just as…

There were also Mustangs...

That was not because of the cops. The area, which was always going to be developed, got developed and hotels and residences sprung up. Cars and Coffee always had finite timeline at its Irvine location.

Forgot one:

“No other SUV that can match” the fuel economy because there is no other SUV that size.

You’re a great social worker every moment you put that car out on the roads. Enjoy safely and in good health!

Nice!

Truly wonderful cars, they will be missed. We can at least be happy that it went out on the top of it’s game. And while I am proud that FCA never caved and gave it an auto, I am sure that isn’t helping it’s sales numbers. I’m gonna go home and give mine a big hug.

My 2003 Acura RSX Type S doesn’t cut power when brake and throttle are engaged. Is this something that only automatic cars do, or are new FWD cars with manuals also part of this? I know that newer BMWs with sticks don’t do this, and my 2014 FR-S doesn’t do it either.

Hobbs is hilarious, Diffey’s calls are fantastic, and Matchett has great technical insight. Add on Buxton’s pit reporting (walks up to Enrique Iglesias... “Who’s your hero for this race?” hahaha!), and the NBC crew is pretty great. They’re hampered by their network, and all the commercials.

I miss Bob Varsha’s F1 commentary.

Eh, if you used lasers and the bolts had nuts had sensors, the robot could technically figure out the velocity as the car enters an area, lets say when it dives in to the box—and be able to follow the center of the wheels to a stop. However, I must say, I don’t think you can get a robot to do it any quicker. The only…

Really impressive stuff, meanwhile at Redbull.....WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE TIRES?! lol

If something so basic and fundamentally important as the gear selector is so confusing that people cannot figure it out, then I’d call that broken, regardless of whether or not it was actually malfunctioning.
