so it was like 12 trucks total, right?

I know it’s hip to hate on Elon among the GMG staff, but the guy got hundreds of starlink terminals delivered to Ukraine in nothing flat, for free.

so yeah.  fuck that guy for doing something good.

I mean, the adam west batman was one of the gayest shows in the history of tv.

who cares what sexuality anybody is anyway. you love who you love, you fuck who you fuck. anybody who gets angry about who other people fuck (assert not children) or love is demented.

coefficient of friction has nothing at all to do with size. it has to do with surface texture and “stickiness”

my money is on “phantom braking” being induced by a big bug or a leaf coming into view and rapidly approaching the camera, triggering the obstruction ahead logic, something a human eye/brain would recognize and disregard, but it is very hard to teach a camera/computer that kind of context.

it is hard to imagine a more wrong list. my god. McLaren and Renault should be blurred out of all video and photos for how obscenely ugly they are.
meanwhile Williams, while inoffensive, is not particularly good it is disjointed and has no connection to anything that would make you look at it and say “that’s a williams”…

what the everlovin fuck? 17K for a 15 year old truck that (a) sucked when new and (b) has been “improved” in the typical ways a teenager with $50 and a near by pep boys improves his shitbox (c) has undoubtedly been abused

Haas removing all uralkali branding and colors (at least for tomorrow)

you left out china

let me ask you, if you were in his position, would you say “fuck Putin”?

because if your answer is yes, you are a liar.

I never said he was “innocent” but expecting a 20 year old who grew up enormously privileged to understand world issues in any serious way is unrealistic.  he is also completely powerless in this…

I’m not a fan of street races or ovals

the side widows are probably the worst part, they do not go with the rest of the car at all.

clearly this was the prototype for the Veyron/Chiron

so, kid who’s whole family’s life depends on him not saying negative things about putin/russia doesn’t say negative things.

may not be a total idiot.

if he speaks out against russia/putin his father gets murdered and all the family’s money gone. kid is in a no win situation, leave him alone.

but fuck putin, fuck this…

has anything further come of this?  would think the SEC would be all over it.

the US has plenty of lithium and other rare earths, they are just in the ground and current commodity pricing of those materials (due to china flooding the market at below cost prices) means it isn’t “economically viable” to extract them and refine them in the US.

they are required under F1 rules to keep the garage door open and not use “privacy panels” to obscure the view of people authorized to be in pit lane.  even the lining up team members to block the view of “outsiders” is a grey area as if they did that and prevented an FIA official from seeing what they were doing it…

don’t forget the party of unfettered capitalism and free trade.

of course they would. all the teams have their own photographers doing exactly this (with strict FIA imposed limits on 3d cameras)

but the teams should have no say in what the press can photograph and the press should be busting their ass to get good photos.

they pretty much do.  Lewis spent a good 15 minutes eyeballing the red bull and if he’s doing it, you know the engineers are and they have team photographers who’s only job is to take 10,000,000 photos of the other team’s cars
