GT4 is a fantastic series to watch. And sounds like it’s getting better and better!

That’s...not even remotely close to a Christian message. Got a source for that?

It’s a technology issue. Sprint and Verizon use the older CDMA; everyone else uses GSM, which is pretty much the standard everywhere else in the world.

It can be done:

When I drove rallies back around the turn of the century, we had a team in Washington running a classic Beetle. It was awesome, and I was jealous.

Roof-mounted spotlights were extremely common back on 50's & 60's rally cars.

Missed opportunity to use an Aztek. Front or rear, doesn’t matter.

I think you’re on the money. I thought Escape at first as well. The high-mount center stoplight has a gap between it and the roof (it appears) in the still image, which rules out Highlander and Aspen. You make a great point about the badge, it does appear to come down into the license plate area like the Mercury.

That was my takeaway as well, although I think the parents were going to pound him to a bloody pulp, rather than shoot him.

I was surprised at my mom. She got one of these calls and, all on her own, just said “I use Linux.” (she doesn’t, she’s a Mac user)

Guess that makes my MG a HAV Not.

The Rim Of The World rally used to start from there. It was a good event, even if I did roll and damage every single body panel the second time I ran it...

That’s FWD mantra, too. Actually, back in my rally days, I heard it as the FWD mantra first. But it applies to both.

Looks like lift off oversteer, where you lift off the throttle mid-corner and you end up with a sudden weight transfer. It’s a great way to get FWD rally cars around corners (when it’s not prudent to pull the handbrake, which I typically only do on the really tight hairpins).

I’ll have to go dig into that New York Times article, but just an FYI, they’ve had that notebook for years; it’s not a new piece of information, unless they’ve somehow managed to discover more about it’s contents. They did a pretty thorough review of it when they received it; it was pretty interesting to read about.

Who makes a spreadsheet and then doesn’t bother sorting it by anything before publishing it?

12,173 sq foot house to replace it? I’d expect something better from Clarkson. Like Colin Furze did with his bunker.

I had a friend ask me the same question. In response, we had a race. From a ‘normal’ position (phone in pocket, hands at your side), he said “go” and we both went for our clocks. I knew the time right away, because I just had to glance at my watch. He had to fumble in his pocket, grab his phone out, turn it on, then…

Seiko 5 all the way. A watchmaker I know sites it as his ‘best bang for the buck modern mechanical watch.’ And if you can’t trust a guy who repairs mechanical watches for a living, who can you trust?

Your cars are too new.
