5th gear - it is nearly impossible to fire or lay someone off in france, even for cause.  reductions in staffing usually require at least 6 months notice and then at least 6 months severance after the completion of the notice period.

the language makes it sound an awful lot like it may not be highway capable.

a city car that can’t leave the city is pretty dumb, as the only reason to own a car if you live in the city is to GTFO of the city.

WTF is wrong with people that they think something like this has value as anything other than a parts car?

receiver hitch? hellooooo.  

that may be so, but you can’t tell without being told and then told where to look to see what is different.

the point is, the integra should be obviously and distinctively different in shape from the civic, not just a few creases and window trim shapes.

or one/several of the teams is pissed about the findings and forcing it to be kept confidential.

well, shit..

the overarching rule he followed (and was agreed to by the teams pre-season) was “all rules are fungible in the goal of finishing races under green if safe to do so”

a hard budget cap, with the whole damn thing managed by an external escrow company. every penny the team spends has to flow through the escrow account.

probably because they found that Masi acted both within the rules and independently.

both Merc and RB were yammering in his ear. earlier in the race Merc demanded no safety car when it should have been one and then tried to prevent the safety car from being recalled at the end of the race. RB wanted a safety car in the…

yeah, no.

honestly I can’t tell you which alphabet soup acura is which. but it looks like they took the bumper cover/grill shell off whatever is the current small acura sedan and slapped it on a civic.

sprint races suck because they completely devalue actual qualifying and grid penalties in favor of race pace and tire strategy.

it just doesn’t look different enough from a civic. it looks like the effort meter maxxed out at throwing on a new front grille shell on the civic.

the old integra, while still just being a civic SI under the bodywork had very different bodywork across the whole car.

honda didn’t even offer a fastback civic, only the…

by going with IFS, they also made it a hell of a lot better at being an on road vehicle, which, just like jeeps, is where 99% of them will spend 99% of their time.

hot take, the only thing wrong with the ‘53 vette is ‘Murica

the white scribble should come down to the crease on the doors.

I would really like to be a fan of FE, but since it only exists on a non-existent cable channel, I guess I won’t be.

they generally don’t, and on the rare occaisions that they do, they leave out the snark.

if you go back 4 months rather than just 6 weeks on Ford there are another 5 recalls.
