I mean, you’re absolutely correct about how fans will react. I’m kind of surprised they even bothered.

So it’ll be NASCAR: National Association for Strange Crossover Auto Racing.

Meh, it’s not as bad as the alleged pedophile’s Bentley--mainly because of the much lower bucks spent making it look so ummm...unique.

“One of the quickly approaching realities car enthusiasts must face is that racing will eventually have to go electric.”

Dude, proofread.

Just replacing the top on a Continental will run you anywhere from $10-15k easily, and that’s not inlcuding the windows and windshield, which were damaged according to the article. By the time you’re done with just the repair items (and removing the atrocius wrap), you’re probably close to that $80k range, and you…

Yeah, I’m in the “It’s too cute to be true” category. Given how the 2CV is such a wheezing underpowered deathtrap, I don’t believe it’s capable of handling any upward incline in fourth gear. “It’s rising 1 foot per 1000 feet! Quick! Downshift to third!”

Let’s see.... Oddball dead brand and there’s an “87" on the driver’s door so I guess you don’t forget what year it’s from and “Community Auto Repair” slapped on the quarter panel to advertise the business—WTF? So are even they tired of keeping the car on the road? ND all day.

Whoops, forgot Rush. Ah well, gets the benefit of the doubt of being from before the time of DTS.

I feel like my knowledge of copter flying just doubled—and I’ve been at the controls of an OH-58 (just the cyclic) because of my Army stint and an agreeable pilot. Thank you for providing the details.

An aircraft “cares” about something called the density altitude. This is a calculation based on temperature and pressure, and the output is a an altitude at which the airplane will perform. So just just a car suffers driving up Pikes Peak, so does an aircraft suffer at higher (perceived) altitudes. At 128 degrees, and…

Yeah Texan here so combine almost the same air temp with 70+% humidity, it’s just hard to breathe. Honestly if I had to pick the thick sticky Texas humid heat versus AZ dry heat I would take AZ all day long. It’s STILL hot, but at least sweat works in AZ to cool you off, which isn’t always the case in Texas, outside…

Ahahaha hell yes. As someone who works in construction, I strongly identify this. “Where’s the nearest door on this document? Does it look like it’s 3' wide? Ok, set the scale from there.”

Those are great. I made one when I raced in LeMons years ago and it worked very well.

Now that is a cool fact.

There’s that total bomb, Driven, that happened in the meantime. Ferrari cratered. And Rush did poorly too.

You should definitely do your research before entering extreme environments. I learned about heat and motorcycles 30 odd years ago on an average summer day in Pennsylvania. Wearing a vented jacket is better than a T-shirt for dehydration as well as road rash.

A modern redux of Grand Prix is the sort of retread (pun intended) that’s easy to get behind. Two dramatic F1 movies in nearly a 60 year span is not remotely an over-saturation. If anything, it probably only feels tiresome to people that weren’t interested in the first place.

I am one of the few that agrees with you that the Stealth was the better looking of the two. That being said, ND all day at that price. I don’t care about the condition. Too much $$$.

Here is mine post police involved shooting. Guy took 13 rounds, car took 11. Bud the Police dog was shot and killed by the perpetrator. Met the author of the book that is pictured years later at a book signing.
