It sounds like it could work if what happened in qualifying didn't affect your Sunday race strategy. They really need to get back to basics and let the teams do whatever necessary to make the car the fastest it can be.

I think there was an article on here once called “Parents, just buy the GD minivan already!” No truer words have been written.

Yes, that might actually be the main drawback to the design. How do other closed cockpit series handle this issue?

I don't think that's very likely to present a problem. But it does seem increasing likely that a driver can be seriously injured or killed by flying debris.

What’s a race distance? 60 laps? Do the math to see how far ahead he P1 is at the end of the race.

I owned that exact boss (maybe that’s my car!). Honestly, I would go with the new mustang. The boss is too much of an animal, too stiff, too grating and raw. Yes, it was a lot of fun at times, but it’s a clown car that you get sick of fast if you try to daily drive it. In no way am I suggesting that it wasn’t capable…

I have Netflix, and can’t get Amazon where I am. Yes, Clarkson’s crew is amazing. But, something this simple might sway it for a lot of people.

I always thought that “Spirit” had a Native American connotation. So, in that vein, I would call the successor “Wendigo”

That's what I'm saying. It looks the same. Must mean that the first version is so perfect that only an upgrade to internals and payload is required.

At the risk of sounding too left-wing, I think it’s fair to say that there are no limits to our aptitude for killing one another. Terrifying looking machines.

Must be an internal upgrade. My passively pleasant Canadian eye can't distinguish it from the old one.

Sorry, but your photos don’t seem to be uploading correctly. I couldn’t see anything at all;)

Yeah, but what’s with the preschool numbers on the nose? They're just so strange.

All depends if a schedule was published. And it is also the responsibility of the guest to roll with it.

No, you’re right to come down on Elon’s side because blogger dude was being a pompous prick. He was invited to reveal event, that tesla didn't have to do, and he showed up with that attitude? The degree of entitlement is profound. I’m glad Tesla doesn’t want those folks in their cars.

You make some valid points. The difference with the Alonso situation is that the extra cash quickly stopped being a relevant factor. With Maldonado, the extra crash was really the biggest factor in why he lasted.

Mercedes B250. This thing drives like a yo-yo. It seems like there’s 3 seconds of lag when you’re trying to leave a stop light. Then, 250 hp hits all at once and the tires are squaking. I’m always scared to make left turns in this thing. Nothing kills your confidence more than pressing the gas to have nothing happen.…

If cars were professional sports leagues, that one is XFL.

I think there was a generation of Toyota Avalon that did this slab side as well. Totally mundane, and not the car you want to be compared to.

anonymous is a good word. It's not going to be enough for a brand that people only buy because they got a good deal.
