Also, I feel like Ferrari is kind of screwed. They're going to have to compete directly with the Renault customers next year, not just hope Lewis occasionally melts down or a track doesn't suit Mercedes.

At least Mercedes' dominance allows Hamilton, a good driver, to have the same number of titles as Vettel, a bad driver.

UK Corollas haven't been good since the GT Four days and there's no way I'm touching anything Type-R as they have been 'tastefully modified' in the same way that Harvey Weinstein victims have been 'lovingly caressed'.

I toyed with the idea of a dirt cheap Boxster, but buying a once expensive car on the cheap and experiencing first hand the financial misery has somewhat coloured me against doing it again. Part of the reason I'm enticed by the CR-Z is because it's 9/10ths the level of fun you could have in a CR-X but with the reassurance nobody has to send flowers to my mother if I get it wrong, which is why I'm put off a 205GTi.

e: fun story, the day after I hit 140mph in my BMW on the motorway, the suspension collapsed during the night after as it was sat on the driveway. A front coil sheared from metal fatigue. :v:

Just loving buy the 1980s hatchback you pussy. You haven't lived until you daily drive for five years knowing you're completely hosed in a low speed accident.

Me and my friend would judge how healthy the Scirocco's suspension one based on how many times our heads would hit the roof on TSD rallies lol.

Why stop there? Make drivers have to be contracted to the FIA/F1 directly and allow teams to make bids on them at the end of every season and they bid with R&D/Upgrade tokens so you can like bid a ton and have one of the best drivers on the grid but your car will be poo poo or have one of the best cars with a garbageman in your car.

What did you say the strategy was?
Drivers aren't contracted to a team, but win prize money like the teams do.
Every race is a le mans style run-to-the-car start.
You can get in whatever car you want.
There's still separate driver and constructor championships.

I don't know how you'd pick the field of drivers.
