Regarding that coffee one and related points, do people really worship their cars that hard? I bought my ‘13 Focus two weeks ago and in that time have:

Right-lane passers, it’s dangerous and IMO should be ticketed more than non-passers in the left lane. Here’s two examples.

Technically a Dick Trickle is pulling out a cigarette during a caution and lighting up.

The important question remains: Which ANSYS CFD package did they use, FLUENT or CFX?

Agreed, in a way the dominance of VW is what lead to the Spec car announcement for this year as a last-ditch effort to get teams involved. Personally I’ve wondered how GRC kept going for so long without a solid base (especially after not being at X-Games the last few years), it was bound to happen sometime.

Friday night is racing.

Several female friends are racing at the Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas this weekend as well.

A Mini Cooper S gets 35mpg while doing 75mph on the highway in Sixth gear. That’s enough to tell me six gears is the correct number of gears, for that car anyways.

Any word yet on if Jessi Combs did or did not cut the course this year? Word on the street is her last lap time was way too fast for her class of vehicle.

So an electric rip-off of the Enviate Hypercar?

The shows aren’t scripted, it’s impossible to script them.
