With the introduction of the cost cap this is wildly unlikely.

The news is already inundated with the Israel-Palestine conflict, and now Jalopnik is getting in on the action with a car-flavoured version of the same story.

Without numbers it is incredibly easy to drive your own narrative here, Jason. You need to compare the low cost of the Ai-1, along with the subscription service, to other air vests on the market which start at $700 and go up to $1150. The math is quite simple: after 2.5 years of ownership you will reach the cost of a…

(Not a) Hot Take: adventure bikes are utilitarian and generally ugly. The Pan America’s competition is not pretty. If you are so terribly concerned with design rather than function, maybe you shouldn’t be shopping for an adventure bike.

Judging by the size of the rear wheel relative to overall height, it looks closer to the Honda Crosstour dimensions than an X6.

Looks like we fundamentally disagree - I want the whole field to finish. Sure, racing incidents will occur and take a few people out, but mechanical and electrical problems aren’t “fun” to me. They’re just (somewhat) random bugs. Perhaps this annoys me as a software guy.

Several decades ago it was common for more than half the race grid to retire during the race. In 1988 Brazil had 16 DNFs, San Marino 7, Monaco 16, Mexico 10, and so on. There were often massive gaps between podium finishers as well: Brazil 1:08m, San Marino 1 lap, Monaco 41s, Mexico 57s, etc. These types of results…

If you turn F1 into a free-for-all you won’t even have racing - just a team who stumbles across the best tech and completely dominates everyone else. Believe it or not, the mid-field racing was fierce last season and continues to be interesting.

“Make teams innovate”
Lol. Yes, there is currently no innovation in F1. Do away with all the rules and regulations! With any kind of guidelines in place it is just impossible for engineers to engineer, drivers to drive, and spectators to spectate.

But... but... Jalopnik has led me to believe that only cyclists don’t stop at stop signs!

The caption in the lead photo calls it the “Ever Green”, but it’s the Ever Given.

We’ve all seen people on the road do far, far worse than the Tesla managed. It looks like it’s in the 50th percentile of drivers right now. Still a ways to go.

I wonder what the odds will be that a red flag is going to come out during the race... because I will be taking those odds.

Bikes typically cost less than cars (until you reach the rust-bucket sub-$1k beater category). They are also cheaper to run and maintain. My bike is practical enough for my wife and I to 2-up for a weekend getaway. I can get a week’s worth of groceries in one trip, too.

It’s that, and also the quintessential mid-life crisis purchase: 40-ish-year-old dad is getting prepared to live his best life once the kids go off to college. He bought a matching hip leather jacket, and a matte black open-face helmet.

Oh, I must’ve missed that. Well the cheapest Harley used to be $6,899. It no longer exists.

The Scrambler starts at $11k USD.

But, as the author notes, they had cheaper bikes (“Street 500, Street 750 and Street Rod bikes, which cost $6,899, $7,599, and $8,699, respectively”) that just got axed. If they actually sold well they’d probably still be around.
