If there is one particular point we enjoy a lot more at C/D than driving, it would be arguing. More than almost everything. From the “right” number of digits following a decimal point, to the correct spelling of “donut,” to where we must go for doughnuts. We argue about cars, as well, with numerous such automotive debates taking the form of prognostication. The significantly less high-minded may get in touch with it “gambling out of spite.” Right here you will locate 20 of these predictions-in-dispute with the favorites handicapped. Our stated odds are valid by means of 2020, or until we all decide that the men and women who came up with this list are crazy or idiots or crazy idiots.
