Driving will always be recreational

I never want to be in a car that is not being controlled by a human.

I believe Clarkson nailed it on TG when he said something about he made the comparison to getting into an airplane without a pilot. Can't find a video of it though.

I'll never trust Google's cars. They probably run on Android and will get hacked and cause us all to die in fiery deaths!

Android is better and you know it!

Just like the horse, driving will become a leisure activity for the rich and a tool for the rural...but not in my lifetime. Suck it decedents.

It's better than getting locked onto a 10-year lease with an Apple car that gets lost every day.

Yeah...

Ever head of a thing called malware?

Kill the Apple cars with fire too!

Neither have I. It's just a buzzword I heard of.

I prefer android. I do need to replace my phone though, it's starting to show it's age.

Get an apple device; you can click on all the suspicious links you want!

Android is good for people, bad for companies. BYOD with Android is a nightmare. So many types of hardware and versions of the OS, plus all the fragmentation caused by the crap that Samsung and the others load onto their phones.

Unrelated: it's a million degrees in So Cal today. Which made me think about something. How will all these turbo charged cars hold up at track days once climate change causes summers to be even worse than they are now?

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 18:56

Yep, iOS seems so much better for large applications. Samsung just ruins their phones.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari

No idea! They must somehow engineer it to work. Amazing.

Google bought Moto and could have created a whole lineup of pure Google phones in all sizes.

But then they sold it.

Facepalm...

THERE IS NO GOD

I really want my family to switch to T-Mobile so I can have another Nexus phone. Easily the best phone I've ever owned.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 19:06

I switched one of my lines to T-Mobile

It's awesome, as long as you don't leave highly populated areas. Don't expect it to work a lot of the time.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 19:09

Meh, worth it for better phones.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro

Until you lift off oversteer into the woods and get pinned in your car and need to call 911!

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 19:11

And my car apparently loves to lift-off oversteer!

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 19:19

I know!

It thinks it's a 911!!!

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 19:22

At least it's good practice! I'll be countersteering it in my own 911 in no time!

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 19:23

Do you counter steer the same way that you would in a RWD car?

Or is it a special kind of Oppo that you need to master?

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 19:26

I guess I'll find out.... in 23 hours and 34 minutes

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro

The amount of soon is off the charts!

We should have bookmarked my mega soon comment from the other day

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 19:34

Luckily I saved two of the pictures because of how funny they were:

Kinja'd!!!

And of course, the SOON owl:

hahaha the horse one is so random that it's awesome

and the poor Boston is scared of dat cat

What do you think about this car:

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/…

I think this is my current fav combo for the 458. Coupe with black top and black wheels and red paint. I really like blue with brown interior and I like the spiders, but something about this red car with the black roof and wheels is just plain evil.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 19:42

I think he has no idea what's about to happen (and neither do we!)

We'll never know what happened to that dog.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 19:43

The poor little guy!!!

He probably lost an eye :(

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 19:44

I think the black roof is a must have on the 458, if I was buying one, I'd need to have it. Makes it look SO much better, no matter what the other color is. The red one in question is no exception.

Kinja'd!!!

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 19:47

So this begs a question - whey did they make cars without the black roof?

2 out of 2 experts agree that it's the only way to go!

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 19:49

Did you get your consultant's check from Ferrari yet? Because I still haven't rreceived mine. All this advice and still no compensation. Any new Ferrari would also be acceptable as payment.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 19:59

They stiffed you too? Those bastards!!

They must give us new cars as compensation.

Any car will work, even if it's the CA T.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 20:00

Exactly! I can work with that car. And it'll be ultra fast. Basically a drop top F12 with a turbo engine.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 20:09

we can just put F12 Super America badges on it and pretend we have a yet to be released Super America!

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 20:11

We'd be labeled as Ferrari douches then! I'd rather be "that weird dude who tracks his California." I wonder what fraction of California owners actually do it.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 20:14

Haha that would be awesome

Are there any AutoX events in super big parking lots where that high HP engine would let us make up time in the straights?

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 20:16

This is the one that's second closest to me!

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 20:22

I need to go to AutoX soon! Cheaper than track. Still fun.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 20:45

This guy looks like he's having a blast. I might bring the Fiesta to the AutoX this weekend since it already has 140 miles on it.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 20:56

Nooo! Take the Civic! You must thrash that car!

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 20:58

BUT BRAKE VECTORING

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 21:01

BUT MUST PUNISH BAD HONDA FOR BEING BAD!

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 21:02

I honestly don't think my sister will let me now. IT'S TOO LATE

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 21:06

Bummer!

Oh well. Just don't redline the FiST. I don't care what the dealer says. I don't think it's safe to do that until you're past 1500 miles. I know they're telling people to alter how you drive it and I believe them on that. It just can't be good to AutoX the car hard and redline it a bunch of times in one day.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
05/14/2014 at 21:07

If anything I'll just go and watch. I've never been to an AutoX event before, so it'll be a good learning experience either way.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
05/14/2014 at 21:09

good plan!
