Random Thoughts Thread
I thought it was a fair move. They're teammates so there's no way it would have been deliberate.. Not with that much time left. If it was the last lap... I could see it being a "reaching" or last effort move. I too am a Gordon fan and I was glad to see him earn an overall 24hr victory. I doubt it, but I wonder if he will be with them on the other 24hr races this year. I was worried the 911 was going to pass the GT. It seemed quicker when out on the oval but he just burned through his tires, it looked. That is one thing Ford said about their GT and the street version as well, that it is much easier than a lot of other cars it competes with on its tires. lol Yeah the prototype challenge class is a joke.. The other three all have GREAT competition and then there's them..

As did I. I probably watched waaay more than I should have but I definitely caught the start and finish as well. That finish.. Loved it.

Tesla Sues Ex-Autopilot Director Over Stealing Secrets
Pretty sure it's illegal to use information that you gained while working at a company.. I guess that's very blanket but it's confidential information that you only gained from working at said company. Not things like "how to use Microsoft Excel" but confidential information or researched information.

It's illegal to take information you learned and acquired through one company to use at another.

Motor Trend's BDC Extension Test- M2, FoRS, More
I thought the same. How in the world did the 'worse Miata' beat that crowd in best driver's car?

Michelin X Tweel Tires, Future Tire Today!
I was thinking the same thing. I heard about it years ago and it seemed to just disappear. Very interesting technology but I feel like I have so many questions.. Are they mounted to our current wheels? Debris getting caught within them? What's the ride even like? Hard? Soft? will they be performance oriented or comfort? Is there any adjustability like there is with tire pressure?

2018 Ford Mustang Leaked
Well 2020(I think that's the next gen, right?) will be bringing a hybrid to the table! I REALLY hope that they do that with performance in mind rather then efficiency. I know it will be more efficient but I wan it all performance oriented!

At those power levels? The GT still have like 80hp and 20ish tq on those numbers.

2018 Ford Mustang Leaked
Does anybody think they will ever throw in a twin turbo(EcoBoost) V6 in as a middle engine? Or even as a top engine? I'd love to see the 2.7 as a middle engine. 350hp/380tq or so. Still leaves a wide margin for the 5.0.

Thoughts From the STL Auto Show
So there was thousands of square feet not occupied by anything? I didn't go this year but I've never gone when there was empty space that could just fit 10 more manufacturers. Not at all.

Thoughts From the STL Auto Show
They've never made the trip to STL from what I can remember. I like going but the STL show really is kind of a joke.. It's nice if you're the average Joe looking to car shop because you can sit in everything the average buyer will look at all under one roof but that's about it.. Last year there wasn't a GT350 but there was an RS.. That's how the STL auto show works. There also just isn't all that much room for more brands even if they wanted to attend.

The Cars with the Best Butts
Sedan: CLS Coupe/Vert: AMG GT Wagon: CTS-V Wagon SUV/CUV: Wrangler because functionality is awesome to me aaaand XC90 because it actually looks really good to me. Truck: Raptor.. even though it is obnoxious I think it looks gnarly and in your face. Wildcard: X-Wing, I always thought these were so cool as a kid and Old's F18 got me thinking extra hard.

Indiana Slaps new fee on EV's.
What are these fees over a non-EV vehicle though? Like that Indiana one is only 30-40 more than the fees for everybody else. Your wording makes it sound like they're all paying $150 more for their EV(Indiana example).

Yeah that spoiler looks so bad to me. It just doesn't seem to flow with the rest of the car.

This sounds like it a problem with your company more so than with every company. If it's that bad, why haven't you looked elsewhere? It sounds like you have the credentials to move on. I know there are a ton of places for me to advance at the company that I'm at now. They're helping pay for school as I finish and countless departments I could transfer to if I didn't like my managers directly above me and move up from there if I so choose to(which, why not?)

That's what I assumed you meant by tax per mile. Somebody literally looking at your odometer. T This will lead to people finding ways to stop an odometer from working or screwing with the numbers though.. but there are always people who will try and beat the system.

My Beretta(3.1) actually has the head gasket go about 2 years ago.. then transmission issues.. then traded it in after it became a money pit.

Or assume the work he did there didn't pay for it along with his academic and athletic scholarships in which you have to work your ass off for. If he was born in America he would have expected handouts and bitched when he didn't get them.

What's your favorite piece of crap car?
This 2016 Yaris I'm rocking now as a rental is pretty shetty and kickass at the same time. If it just had a modern engine and trans it would actually be a very good little car..but it doesn't.

You honestly think companies will be just willing to accept less income, less profits, therefore lower stock prices? You'd be okay with stock prices falling due to lower income? Just to the laziest of people can get a break. Only the laziest are willing to accept a minimum wage position without any initiative to move up the ladder. The GF's das did this. He moved from India after earning a couple bachelor degrees while working on a farm and came over with $200. He built his own jewelry business by learning everything on his own and they do very well for themselves. He worked his ass off for everything he has.
