They’ve always had women and gay writers. In their heyday, the “Playboy Interview” was the gold standard of journalistic interviews. They’ve always taken liberal political stances (including on women’s rights and lgbt rights). The publisher was a woman for over 20 years (Christie Hefner).

Even if you’re faster than the leaders, you are NOT on the lead lap thus you should yield to those who have no effect on your position.

Eh, for the inverse take... NASCAR pit stops are boring and a bit stupid because they’re a deliberate contrivance. There’s no need for them not to use center lugs other than a disingenuously performative “look at us we’re old school” moment. For a sport that has teams literally making body damage worse on purpose for…

I agree, the manual (and auto) GT cars are actually acting like brand value advertising. You get all of these crazy passionate owners to buy a few and then they all go crazy trying to buy them from each other. Then when you release a new model, they all fight for the few again. Then when they can’t get the special GT…

Summation so far -
Dems: The President did a big thing

Oh yeah...when I read the story, it made me remember the old episodes of Beavis and Butthead. Specifically, when the Milli Vanilli or Vanilla Ice videos would play, and they would just look at each other, not say a word, and then change the channel. It’s more insulting to say nothing than to rip it apart.

How do you know it wasn’t twin-turbo’d and supercharged, putting out 500 HP?

Ferrari definitely messed up not to double stack under the safety-car, but what also should be mentioned: Red Bull’s beautiful demolition of Ferrari’s strategy by surprise-pitting Gasly early, right after his overtake on Vettel. Ferrari had to react by pitting their lead car out of fear of being undercut, and Red…

“I think Ericsson hit me!”

Those series all include races long enough that the cars literally can’t complete the race without refueling. Refueling isn’t the answer for F1. The Schumacher era showed that. 

I’d really like to see a ban on power tools during pit stops. You have to jack up the car with a hand jack, unscrew the lug nuts by hand, replace the wheel, and then use a hand torque wrench to replace the lugs. For maximum fun, mandate that a car can only have one set of wheels per race, so new tires have to be…

You missed a lot of action

The definition of insanity...

Yet I can remember the endless complaining in Schumi era back when F1 had refueling that everything was always decided on the pits and we didn’t get proper racing on the track.

All of these are great excuses for a savvy new guy to go hide somewhere for the day.

First full time job out of high school was at a volvo dealer who worked on all kinds of cars. Second day there, one of the mechanics tried to send me to the parts store for a radiator for a 72 Beetle. I knew better but a guy hired a week later did not, he got pretty flustered calling around and parts stores laughing…

I wish to Christ that this story had ended with her using said blanket as a villainous cape and fucking with the flight crew, calling herself “The Phantom of the Rompera.”

By Miami standards she’s dressed like a nun, this flight attendant must have been on a massive power trip. 

In my life, I’ve only seen someone questioned about their choice of wardrobe one time. I’ve seen a lot of people fly wearing a lot less than this woman.

They are still at 3 different price levels with different styling and interior levels to match. It’s a little more Chevrolet than is probably good, but it’s not horrible.
