4. McLaren supporters. The most popular team with the best looking car. McLaren supporters are the most level headed and good looking of the bunch. The car has some major technical flaws this year and it's not super quick but we know the lads will figure it out.

*checks notes* Yup, this is accurate. The Papaya Bois are extremely good and popular, just like their supporters

Plenty of lewis fans as he's cool and good but I'm not sure many of us gave a poo poo about the team itself

There might be the odd toto fan though

If you re-check your notes you'll find that all 3 are Cool And Good, OP!

yeah but come the gently caress on lol, an alfa romeo doing 250k miles without issues??

I find it hilarious that modern Alfa is still stuck with the lovely reliability stigma from their earlier years (not that the 90's were good either). Like, yeah the new ones are supposedly not great compared to other marques of similar caliber, but they aren't total heaps of poo poo like most previous gen Alfa's were.

100% agree with you, over the course of 250k miles almost any marque would likely throw an expensive poo poo fit. I'd be horrified to own something like a 2015-ish Audi S6 or something equal out of warranty.

Dumbest loving thing I ever did car wise was take out the BMW insured warranty on my old 6 series because I knew the valve stem seals were blown and I didn't want to eat the 4-8k bill for the engine rebuild. The reason it was incredibly dumb was not because the work wouldn't have been covered (it explicitly was) but because my dumb rear end didn't read the fine print that said any claims raised in the first 90 days would not be covered for the lifetime of the car. I paid £800 to blackball my own car from the entire BMW network lmao.

lmfao that's amazing, gg Theo you win "Stupid poo poo With Cars" for the day. thanks for the laugh


On another note...imagine being the track side engineer who gets the green light from HQ to take a dremel to the rear wing :getin:

I’m glad that we were told the race director warned drivers about queuing up to make a gap before a qualifying lap. I’m sure this will be strictly enforced and we won’t see a huge parking lot with literally no consequence whatsoever.

Lol what? He drove the loving wheels off that thing the second half of the year to keep with Max* in the WDC standings. His tear on the last 5 races was absolutely bonkers. He was just completely lights out each race weekend.
