That’s the end result of a problem that’s been growing for over a decade. Bernie pushes ever increasing sanctioning fees onto tracks. Tracks are forced to increase ticket prices because of the growing fees. The new tracks that are being added to the calendar are all state funded (which is why dictatorships like Russia…

See my reply to solo.
And this is where I’d helpfully drop the link to the article about Doug DeMuro hating driving his Ferrari around because he was terrified of it breaking, or terrified of some yahoo in a Solara crashing into him, or terrified of being mobbed by people with cell phones, but my lunch break is ending and I don’t have the…
That doesn’t solve the fact that the chain has to route THROUGH the cover. My guess is the cover comes off as well.
Somewhat. The tar is still samping the natural resonance of the metal, so it will reduce interior sourced noise, though not as much as carpet. Tar and insulation under carpet also keeps engine and exhaust heat out of the passenger cabin which carpet does not do as effectively.
Actually it’s the tar and other sound deadening underneath the carpet that does the majority of that job.
I’ve seen a few old SUVs with the interiors coated in bed lining. This works provided there is no wiring to cover (and there is usually wiring to cover for speakers, locks, windows, and lights in the rear of the car). It’s reasonably cheap, easy to clean, and doesn’t hold the funk of a family.
It would be more ironic if it broke mid-donut.
I suppose a closed off bridge is the safest place to do donuts in a Mustang. Zero pedestrians to hit after all.
The hashtags have to be the best part of this post. Why is there a #newjersey when you’re in California?!? More time studying, less time donuting children.
Nooooooo, dirt gives you room for negotiation!If they can’t bother to take a hose to their car before selling it, how do you know they bothered to change the oil? Or replace the struts? You can easily knock a good amount off the asking price by standing on that point.
It doesn’t have a license plate, so pretty sure it isn’t registered. Doesn’t stop him from riding dirty though. Or trailering it to and from shows.
Car culture isn’t dead, it’s just different.
To be fair, most car buyer aren’t interested in the powertrain, they’re interested in the gadgets. And before someone screams “MILLENNIALS!” remember that it’s typically boomers who are buying new, large cars.
Neutral: Stop insulting car buyer’s intelligence. They’re advertising to the lowest common denominator of car buyer and insulting everyone else’s intelligence. Stop treating us like sheeple and treat us like adults with rational brains. Yes I know a large portion of the population is not that, but even a dumb person…
This had better be COTD...or Jalopnik will need their own brown pants
The lesson should really be to not cheat on government mandated testing in the first place.
That’s another good idea. Put ‘em to use but don’t let VW profit off of them. Yeah they’ll make a little money back on servicing, but that’s still not going to make up for the cost of fines, buybacks, repairs, and of course lost sales due to the whole scandal erupting in the first place.
In the case of crushing the bought back cars...it’s not about the environment. It’s about making sure VW doesn’t profit from cheating. Sure VW could re-sell the cars and it would be far less environmentally destructive, but at the end of the day, they’ve still made bucket loads of money selling these cars twice after…
