I’d lay money that Verstappen wins the championship this year, Lewis acknowledges that he’s no longer the champion and retires, Russell takes over Lewis’ seat next year, and someone else edges out Bottas (who clearly needs to retire).

Also a social scientist and this strikes me as a sample selection problem where white collar workers who tend to be more cautious drivers were sitting at home for a year while drivers more prone to sensation seeking behaviors were on the freeways.
They did in fact dismiss the arresting officer from the Austin police force. Story is worth a read: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/matthew-mcconaughey-1999-nude-bongo-arrest-174327112.html
Don’t underestimate how quickly my (X) generation and young boomers are shifting the auto sales landscape. Model 3s in 2020 outsold all BMW mid-size models (2-5 series) combined in the US. Sold 6X more than Cadillac cars, thus the move by Cadillac to electric. Model Ys are now 23% of compact SUV sales in California…
This is fantastic Jalopnik article Erik - well done. As a fellow Ohioan growing up in the 80s, I hold this product in reverence.
This is a great overview: What Pete Buttigieg would bring to the Transportation Department | Utility Dive
Listen, Raphael needs to put his big journalist panties on and research what Buttigieg has actually written and said about transportation policy. This is a transportation website and Pete likely has expressed opinions on transportation that are worth explaining to Jalopnik readers.
993 turbo and a Beta? You are my hero.
I sometimes wonder if the writers understand the demographics of the people who buy the fun new cars they test.
Amen. And Lewis has shown so much character this year. Comments that suggest selfish intentions are off the mark. He’s always been an honorable driver (unlike Rosberg) and has now secured his spot as one of the most skilled drivers in history.
Well, that’s one interpretation. Another is that he’s using his fame to promote the rights of others. I suppose he should just shut up and play rather than leveraging his platform to advance social justice?
Tesla competes effectively in the premium space where design and materials matter. I own a GT350 and would buy a Tesla, but I wouldn’t buy this design mess.
I think the SEO is an awesome transfer of wealth from sentiment-driven wealthy shareholders to fund the production of socially desirable electric cars. Nothing wrong with that.
0.5% mortality rate is like running a lane-splitting race in LA traffic on a superbike with no helmet.
It’s hard to imagine which mid-level managers in the COVID era are going to be looking for commuting sedans. I might be able to justify a new COSTCO-hauling SUV device, but I ain’t driving to work in the foreseeable future.
Even better, you can get a Peugeot grinder inside an amazing teak design by buying a Dansk pepper mill on ebay.
I realize that this is the stereotype and I’m not going to dog anyone for believing it. I have a 911 and I’ve driven a lot of cars on the track. After driving a GT350 and a GT4 back to back, I bought a GT350.
You and me both. For a while it seemed that my only purpose in life was accumulate AA and Hyatt points.
I’m in the same boat sitting on enough Hertz points to rent a corvette for a couple weeks.
