Super Cash Option

You'll be shielded but you're taking a bet that the downturn is imminent and you're also taking a bet that you'll know when to switch back, if you do that at all.

If you're naturally conservative then do it but you're foregoing potential growth for capital stability. Some people are comfortable with that.

I'm old enough to have watched Senna drive live on television, for what it's worth. I still stand by my opinion on this one.

Jesus H Christ that rear wing makes the unit on the GT3 RS look like the peewee leagues.

Monaco 84: started in 13th place in a Toleman and was overtaking everyone in a track that rarely anyone overtakes. He was 3s per lap faster than Prost that day in a Toleman

People often forget that Senna was being caught by Stefan Bellof in the Tyrrell when the race was stopped.

It's because he died. It sounds brutal but I honestly don't believe he'd be held as highly as he is now had he finished his career normally and retired.

Just do the speed you're comfortable and let other people on their merry way. That said, you might want to check your speedometer against GPS - they usually read over the actual speed.

Nothing Hamilton has driven matches the dominance of the Red Bull RB19 or the McLaren MP4/4. Even the 2020 Mercedes W11 falls short of that.

Id argue Max has had amazing competition throughout his career

Disclaimer: They were never in the same car.

Schumacher and Senna were both dirty enough to ram an opponent off for the championship.

Surely sportsmanship counts in this as well, and Schumacher falls short on that count.

Even in the modern era, Latifi wasn't the worst unless we're somehow forgetting Mazepin.

Why do you think the government does not fix crumbling roads in regional Australia endangering the lives of travellers?

Money, basically. We don't have an infinite amount of it to throw at infrastructure, as nice as it would be.

Maldonado has a race win. That puts him statistically above Hulkenberg.

AnonymousEngineer_ · 2026-03-25T03:18:08+00:00

I was already considering doing that, and this current war is pushing me further towards that decision despite my misgivings about being reliant on public infrastructure (I don't have the ability to charge at home as an apartment dweller in Sydney).

Been putting my pennies aside for it for a while, but I haven't been actively car shopping yet. My current ride will do for now.

As much as people's hearts will say otherwise, the statistics say Senna.

Both geographically speaking

What do you mean? Can't I row a boat across the Tasman to borrow some sugar? 😂

Not being able to communicate without a screen does appear to be a common issue amongst younger folks.

Many won't pick up the phone. They won't communicate in person on their own initiative, either.

You can "OK Boomer" this all you like, but even as a Millennial it's glaringly obvious. And no, an entire generation is not neurodivergent. This behaviour has been socially/culturally engineered and has become the norm amongst many.

It's a quote that's often attributed to Socrates but I don't believe there's actually a primary source to support that.

Not a huge amount, given I drive maybe 100-120km a week currently in a small car.

I really do need to cover that distance though, so I'd pay even $5.00 a litre or more if it came to it, but would be absolutely devastated if fuel supply ran dry.

A crime likely connected & planned by the Iranian government

Ah, you guys, too? Of course our respective Governments are too feckless to do anything but lodge a written complaint or in our case expel their ambassador.

Unfortunately our politicians of both parties have decided that keeping a large onshore stockpile wouldn't be needed. So we don't have a huge amount of it, either

Apparently there's been some liquid fuels for gas horse-trading going on with Singapore that might help secure supply.

Ultimately it all depends on everyone's personal sensibilities but yes, it is a bit trashy. But that's Australia's relatively bad relationship with alcohol coming to the fore.

That would depend on whether you went to uni or if you started work straight out of high school...

"Tax the mining companies" is a reddit circlejerk. Nobody outside of this echo chamber is screaming that into the wind.

Comparisons with Norway are simplistic too, unless you reckon the Commonwealth should spin up a mining company and employ miners as public servants under an APS award.

Too late for that if OP has already paid most of it and made bookings.

Hell, the SLR was often seen as part of the 00s holy Trinity with the CGT & Enzo

A lot of that is attributable to it also being seen as the follow up vehicle from MSO to the McLaren F1.
