because watching one racing team win 85% of the races since 2014 is boring. 

Would need a definition of “beautiful”. The Merc is more elegant, but the Mustang is more bold. They each are differently beautiful. It’s like choosing between Sophia Loren and Marilyn Monroe.

1st gear: Two things to understand.

MTV - Multi-Terrain Vehicles

Undoubtedly BREXIT is a mess...

im confused, what did we learn from this? if you buy studded off-road rally tires with 4 times as many studs and studs that are 4 times as tall as street legal studded tires you will do better on a frozen lake than street legal winter tires?

Public transportation and taxi services are already a liberating force for the elderly and disabled.

This was doomed from the start because hypercars are not meant to be race cars.

MINI-family here. Both my wife & I are on our 2nd MINIs. Our first MINIs were manual base model 2-door hardtops. Kristen—can confirm, they are STILL a ton of fun, and also that the only way to go is with a manual. We are both in a 2019 MINI Cooper S each now (hers a 60th Anniv model). So.Much.Fun. And about $10k less…

Not so fast, Brad the Science Guy. Let’s put all the cards on the table. EVs contain materials compared to ICE vehicles that are environmentally horrendous mining and refining for the EVs’ guts.

Lol! You think they will just replace the lower tiers? Let’s see how enthusiastic you are about this when it’s you who aren’t given a choice whether to drive. I think you’ll find giving up someone else’s freedom is easier than your own.

Same. Have always driven a manual, always will as long as I can. It is just better for the driver in me.

And they also have millions of unsophisticated rubes who still eat bushmeat and grind up rhino horn and pangolin scales to get a hard-on. Many reports say this behavior led directly to the transfer of coronavirus to humans.

I mean, sure this is a naive take, but couldn’t the military just solve this by inserting a clause that says “we’ll respect your right to repair requests when you are able to fulfill them in a firefight. Otherwise fuck right off with that noise”?

Someone tell me why illegal aliens should be issued driver’s licenses?

Nah, only the states that don’t follow federal law.

Making them easier to break is the wrong way of going about it IMO. What’s going to happen is that drivers are going to take less risks. This would be fine in a regular circuit where there’s a lot of space that drivers can use to overtake. In a street course however, there isn’t much space so this runs the risk of…

So, slow, heavy and unexciting?

My complaint about FE is exactly that the only overtaking maneuvers seem to be dives up the inside but I think this is more to do with the (crappy) street circuit layouts than the car design. I’m not sure why the hardcore FE fans seem to claim the series has such good racing - and that’s not even considering Attack…

Well, I hear you. But it’s kind of like the doublespeak of telling everybody how awfully bad tobacco and its advertising is without, you know, actually outlawing the shit and taking the heat for all those lost jobs and sweet, sweet tax revenue to piss away. While legalizing other smokables.  Do or do not, I guess Yoda…
