I’m Dutch. When I was younger, my dad showed me these videos and I was absolutely laughing my ass off. Also, they were commentated on by a hilarious comedian, who’s phrases during those races still love on to this day.

I don’t think there are a lot of things that amaze a 10 year old.. At least, I don’t remember giving one actual f*ck about anything 10 years ago.

This has got to be the greatest story I have ever read! You, sir, are a legend.

I’m going to have to applaud you for how you handled that. 5 Internet Points to you, good sir.

You enjoy this? I’m not sure if you’re Dutch, but during their programme all they can talk about is Max and how incredible he is. I, for one, cannot stand it. It’s too much. Two other guys, (forgotten) racing drivers Tom Coronel and Robert Doornbos, also present the show and they’re even worse! There’s literally one

That is the first thing I thought of when I saw the author. Good stuff!

My dad owned one of these, but of the Polestar-tuned variety. Lovely, quick and comfortable car that could seat 5 larger people with ease. Before that though, we had an XC90, which I’d definitely recommend as well.

Savage!

So, I’m not YUUUGE on Nascar, but I do occasionally check out a race, and I follow the standings. I noticed Kyle Larson being the runner-up more than a few times now, and really wonder what you guys make of him.

Wait, but what about GP3?

A ‘56 Citroen Traction Avant. Could not get used to shifting it whatsover, but what a damn experience.

Different tastes I guess. I adore his voice, I think it’s very soothing. Maybe it’s because he speaks rather British that makes him sound informed, which is kind of odd, since he really is informed too.

You get extra internet points for using the caps perfectly.

I see where you’re getting at, but how is Chris boring?

I was about to say! My dad purchased one in the Netherlands for a little over 70k euros. Granted, our tax-system is very messed up, but still. Great car nonetheless! Very much enjoyed it!

“Granted, it’s testing. This is where you want to have problems instead of during the races themselves, and McLaren is by no means the only team running into issues with their car.”

It’s even worse knowing that Esteban wasn’t a rookie.

Now my office thinks I’m a psycho that laughs for no reason. Hat-tip!

I know it’s rather uncommon at this point in time, but I’m currrently in the process of trying to sell my Peugeot 206 and have these exact issues. Spot on article Jason.

Unpopular opinion: I liked the joke.
