FLASHBACK to the nineties Formula 1!

I could stand the car, barey, but now I need to rush and get the eye bleach!

It's because that red band on her nomex suit has a shape reminiscent of a garter belt.

Most exotic? Radials have been around for over a century.

Dr. Understeer pointed to a better solution: A Report Spam button. Once a post gets hit by a certain amount of "flags" by unique users, the identification as spam is solid enough to trash the post.

Horsepower is not the same thing as torque.

Sabine tried real hard (they even taped the panel gaps) but couldn't break the 10 minute mark on the show.

About the 10:30 you mean ? ;)

This was not an as-quick-as-you-can laptime. A Citroën AX Diesel can do a Bridge-to-Gantry time of 9:55. A Ford Transit can do 10:08, as seen on Top Gear. I've heard that a Prius, driven in anger, can do about 10:30.

Ugh, thanks for reviving bad memories.

"and sips less fuel than a Prius" would work though.

I have a soft spot for race-tuned naturally aspirated 4-pots. So this... OK, I'll need a bit of privacy.

Cleaner than the Prius?

(And that's where your comparison with monkeys and gorillas goes, well, limp, because those have opposable digits. Our feet do not have

This man seems as capable as any other person when it comes to driving and adapting to the world.

I think there is a mis-match in context. The 165 mph limit is valid for some conditions (normal road-going tires with close to 1 for coefficient of friction, not the sports-car exotic ones), but those conditions are not valid for NASCAR.

Read it again.

A hat-tip for being candid about your mistake. Not everyone will publicly admit and redact. I've made similar reading f*ck-ups myself, so I know what it feels like.
