I think windshields in general are getting way more pricey due to the active safety sensors for cruise-control and auto-stop, etc.  I think there was a recent article about this.

Well the article seems to use a broken windscreen and a damaged tyre to emphasise its case. That, to me, says more about either their driving style, or the quality of the tyres than it does about the car, though. 

Glad to see the comments section hasn’t lost its fecundity on this one

What’s wrong with The D?

That was a tumescent article, if not a bit engorged with extra fluff.

Yo.. grounded to the ground...

I don’t know why he did it, but I love it. Not a big fan of the 914, but would happily drive this. Think about how that thing must sound. People would whip their heads around because they’d be sure the rumble wasn’t coming from that.

Hey, I like NASCAR and brush my tooth twice a day.

Your response is petulant as fuck, and ignorant as fuck. You are just a fuck. Nevertheless, NBC SN had great coverage, and invested a lot into F1. ESPN gets the feed from SKY, that every F1 fan knows are the best, and they just shit all over it. Excuse me, for being frustrated by stupid shit. ESPN needs to run banner…

NBCs F1 coverage was amazing compared to what ESPN just gave us.

The reality is that the coverage on ESPN was never going to be good. Technical issues during pre-race aside, trying to broadcast F1 on ESPN by simulcasting from SkySports, who themselves do not broadcast commercials, is going to lead to misses in action due to commercials. NBC got around this by having their own…

can you also help me located the 30 miles long runway?

I’ve honestly never understood the cars + girls thing. It makes me physically uncomfortable to see all of the 60+ year old guys perving out over some 19 year old girl that posed in front of their car on the vintage car Facebook groups I’m a part of. And the idea of grid girls is iffy mostly because they’re only women,…

You must have missed the essay a woman driver had poster here the other day. She has had little girls come up to her and they were amazed she was driving. They literally thought that women weren’t allowed to drive race cars.

I can’t help but raise a critical arched eyebrow at the men plaintively decrying the potential loss of something they can’t quite put a finger on. I’m still waiting to read an argument for keeping grid girls that doesn’t feature a misogynistic bleat of some sort beyond the blinkered “Tradition!” While it is utterly…

Also, I’ve had female friends attend track days as drivers (I can’t believe I have to clarify that they’re there to drive...) and yet, during the day, some guy walks up to them and asks if my friend can stand next to his car so he can take pictures. That’s creepy and disgusting. And it’s the toxic environment that has…

Some more fuel to the fire. This article is instructive: http://thegridgirls.com/2017/02/23/a-womans-role-in-motorsports/

Congratulations on your successful unfreezing! You’ll find that today’s world is very different from your native 1937.

Really? Fuck you.
