You’re just confused by everything he says or does. I bet his mom is very proud of him ; almost as much as she’’s proud of his Better Brother Joey.

He’s already faster than his McLaren. I see him replacing Roman Grosjean at Haas and then on to la Scuderia or a Silber Pfeil.

For a mid-60s GM “personal luxury”/muscly car, the Toronado was some pretty clean styling. (Not to mention some interesting 385hp /475 lb-ft fwd engineering)

When I can get a Flux Capacitor and transport a wheezy L98 with an auto trans, back to 1985, maybe I’ll blow all those 911s away. But while I live in the Present, I’ll spend money on cars I would enjoy more.

I always tip 20%, (but never on the tax.) The people who bring me my food and take away my dirty dishes are doing me a service. And if they had the money I do, they probably wouldn’t be slinging hash at my greasy spoon. It’s honest work and they put up with a lot of jerks just to be there to greet me with a smile when…
