There’s two that come to mind because they intersect I-95 near Philly and I drove past them every week day for years on my commute. Not worst names but pretty ironic/funny:

23 Hours and 30 Minutes of Le Mans is very different than the 24 Hours of Le Mans, just ask Toyota. Read more

The most frustrating thing about how capitalism works is how good things are inevitably ruined in the name of profits. Yes, capitalism is why the game exists in the first place, but things always have an inevitable pattern: Read more

The biggest issue with F1TV is that you can’t timeshift any way you want.  I generally wake up every sunday morning and start watching.  The actual race is either just finishing up or ended an hour or two ago.  With F1TV I had to wait days before I could watch the replay... or I could watch live, which doesn’t work Read more

Signed up for F1TV at the beginning of last year, used it once, realized you couldn’t natively stream to a TV, don’t think I used it again - an app of this nature should be able to cast without jumping through hoops.

I hope they get the AppleTV/Android TV/FireStick App figured out ASAP - that’s something they’ve been promising from the beginning and never delivered.

I assume my staff will handle this, it’s what they are paid to do.  Read more

Well I haven’t heard anything yet but I’ll keep my phone off silent for a while. Read more

this is something that has always bothered me when I play with configurators, particularly Ford. Base model F150 comes in like 12 colors. The Platinum comes in like four. If I’m dropping 70K* on this thing you’d better paint it whatever color I god damn choose! Read more

I was wondering if anyone would mention this car. Even better is the side view:

Here come the cabriolet crossovers! A vagabond truly ahead of its time!

I guess they did technically at one point right? But not the modern hybrids.

Tadge (chief engineer) has explained why they had to put in a strip of buttons before. The sight line for the C8 is much lower as the engine moved out back, so in order to make the dash super low so you can see over the hood, they had to put in the strip of buttons on the side, as they couldn’t stack the buttons below Read more
