Top 5 Formula 1 cars

 Welcome to this ranking of some of the best cars in the world. Warning: It's mostly going to be Lotus cars with the Cosworth DFV engine.  

1. Lotus 79

Aerodynamics are beautiful. By that logic ,this surely must be the automotive Mona Lisa. It was unstoppable during its time due to its wind-cheating abilities.

2. Ferrari 641

Built to be the best, it succeeded and in the process became my favorite Ferrari ever. Period. You can't convince me otherwise.

3. Lotus 25

The first real moncoque in F1 looked good while innovating. It truly was an amazing car for its time. I love this mean green machine.

4. Alfa Romeo 159 Alfetta

A legendary race car from a simpler time. I love old school racing and this car is the epitome of that. It truly is a special car.

5. Lotus 72

This thing could have been championship material. Due to the passing of Jochen Rhindt it never happened. Never the less, it was a really good racing car and invented the "John Player Special" paint scheme.

(updated) top 5 Pixar Cars Characters

 Welcome to the updated version of my Pixar Cars ranking. The rules are still the same: Only movie characters are allowed and I have to pick best and worst. Other than that,there are no rules. So let's begin.

1.(Best) Lewis Hamilton- The greatest F1 driver ever playing himself. Plus, he gets to be a Mclaren GT car.

2. (Best) Rusty and Dusty- Ah yes,the Car Talk guys acting like themselves. Did I mention that I love this franchise?

3.  Junior "Midnight" Moon- Junior Johnson,the bootlegger,racer,and voice of a Ford Coupe that he himself owns. That's awesome as I'll get out.

4. Doc Hudson- Based on a true racing story,I really enjoy this one. It also helps that I love the (real) Hudson Hornet quite a bit. 

5. Micheal Schumacher Ferrari- It pains me to put another one of my favorite F1 drivers so low. But his character hardly did anything in the movie. (I know that Lewis Hamilton didn't either,but he at least got to race some.) 

1. (Worst) Mia and Tia- Annoying,that's what these two Miatas are. Nothing more,nothing less,just annoying.

2 (Worst) Harv- No face to go along with him,just a voice? Wasted chance if you ask me.

3. (Worst) Minny and Van- They share one brain cell,they go from one being the smart one,to the other being smart. I just don't get it.

4. (Worst) Francesco Bernoulli- We finally get a F1 style car in the movies,cool,but his actual character is so egotistical and unlikable. They almost had it right.

5. (Worst) Sven-  He was just a parody of "Ah-nold" In the vein of Hans and Franz,but not actually funny. I just think his time on screen was blissfully short.  





Crossovers Rock,Actually

 They're all over the place,they sell like hot cakes,and I used to hate them. I'm talking about Crossover SUVS and why my opinions o...
