I remember this. Car & Driver loved it.

Don’t hate on the fox terriers. They’ve come a long way from the back alleys.

This category SCREAMS municipal market. Short haul, owner-control over charging stations, reduced maintenance labor costs.

There have been several occasions when F1 cars have been shown up in races by other open wheel classes. E.g. in 1967 Jacky Ickx qualified 3d fastest in his F2 Matra (1.6 liters v. 3.0 liters) in the German GP. On several occasions in the 70s, Formula 5000/FA cars (5 liter OHV stock blocks) outpaced 3 liter F1 entries.

Well, Hunt was angry, but Kaepernick knelt deliberately! So, . . . Well, that’s it, ammirite?

The Royals seem to have the gift of longevity. His mother-in-law lived too what, 102? Impressive for such an inbred bunch. (Philip and Elizabeth are second cousins once removed. Explains Charles, I suppose.)

“deranged moron’s”

He’s just trying to re-live his glory days back in the service. (Right?)

Oh, is it time to NASCAR again, again?   I hear they’ll have rules this season. Could be the death of it all. 

If I had walked into the Plough and Stars in Cambridge in the 70s wearing a Union Jack T-shirt and an orange hat, I’d expect to have gotten the shit kicked out of me. Because wearing politically provocative clothing is an intentional act and you have to be prepared for the reaction your provocation will have on your

I generally think Bugattis look like roaches. But this car looks surprisingly attractive in that blue. 

Does it have magic powers? Will it protect me at a Cars & Coffee?

Really? Licked his face, you say??” 

Too soon. I’m just sayin’, too soon.

You ARE rude!
