I’ve often said, the people who decry “equity” are those who feel like they have something to lose when others are given the same opportunities; in essence, their actions reveal their privilege. To those people “equality” seems to mean that we are all treated equally like shit; which is really a testament to how they…

Even in this case, the answer is Miata.  Buy a Miata, and you will learn to pack light.

Oh right, McLaren with a Mercedes engine. Enough said about that then. But hey, anything to make Mercedes champion again right? Wonder what the next thing will be.

I bet it’s going to be something like the Miata MX-e

You can make a relatively light EV if you make it a priority. The OG Tesla roadster was 2,700lbs. You could get an NC PRHT almost up to that. And that was with 2008 battery tech. 

Hmm. . . If Mazda takes a page from the CR-Z and actually does the concept justice. Manual trans, small electric motor/battery pack for instant torque to flatten the curve in stoplight to stoplight traffic, or to help keep speed uphill.  That sort of thing.

Otherwise, it’s pointless beyond being a bulletpoint on a…

You know what would make the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix more entertaining for me?

How funny would it be if Ericsson took them both out?

One more thing ... sorry to double-post ... The guy on Graham Rahal’s pit crew who was on the left rear was VERY clearly not ready to release. He may have been having some difficulty, but it was not his fault. That car should never have been released. NBC spent NO time looking back at the pit to see where the signal…

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that view before ... DAYUM!

“It is entirely possible that Norris meant the wave as a taunt”

Except, it isn’t possible... Because it wasn’t a taunt. Jesus fucking christ, the writers on this site these days.  

Agree, if someone crashes and you red flag the session add time back so everybody has the same chance to set a fast lap.  Verstapen had a chance to go faster and Hamilton seemed to pit right after the crash, so he could have stayed out for one more lap had the session not ended.  

Agree with stopping the timer. Given the difficulty of passing at Monaco, qualifying almost IS the race. They basically stopped the race before we got to see who the winner would be. It’s not at all uncommon for that final qualifying lap to totally scramble the field compared to the initial ones. 

I was shook for a few hours, not gunna lie.

It says every three months, but I just use the new one in the kit whenever I get around to it. My sink area is physically separated by a door from the shower/bath area, so I don’t feel like there’s much risk of just using the one bottle until all the packets are used up. If there’s ever any question of if it’s safe, a…

psh, new oil only makes the lifters noisy. Best to just add a quart at a time as it leaks/burns lol

And if Max doesn’t bin it in the wall, he’s pretty good at Monaco. If he nails it and gets pole (or even second) that’s a race he could win.

The chickens WILL come home to roost - you can count on it. Maybe not in the short time I have left on this earth - but definitely within the lifetime of my kids and grandkids. The concentration of wealth in the hands of too few is NOT healthy!!!

“nobody actually wanted small sedans and hatchbacks”
Honda, Hyundai/Kia, and Toyota would beg to differ.

A couple of years ago I was at Chapters (it’s Canada’s big box bookseller). Some flat-biller had parked his lifted Denali pickup across TWO handicapped spots, and left it running. I checked to see if he had a placard or sticker. Nope.
