Why is this on my car blog?!?!?

Better to drop one than have some harmonic resonance set up that does something silly like, oh, fatigue a main spar to failure mid-flight.

I like the package full of poop idea. You can even leave a love note, “Dear Human Excrement, Get a real job. Stop stealing people’s stuff. Have fun selling this poop on eBay.”

exactly my thoughts.. i’d prop the car up on the tires just for the brakes...

VW, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche.

My initial thought as well. Screw the wheels, give me those brakes!

Trust me, second hand CC brakes are a rabid market over on audizine. Wire cutters for the brake hose, large allen key set and cheater bar for caliper bracket bolt, and a t-27 torx driver bit for the disc retainer... 10 minutes extra, total. Wait. No. Dont steal. Stealing bad.

Steals $8000 worth of wheels... leaves $20,000 carbon ceramic brakes.

C’mon Jalop. WHEELS not Rims.

It’s not, and many European spec cars have them. If not hazards, the entire brake light flashes.

Totally agree - I’ve been wishing they would come out with some sort of graduated brake light where it gets brighter as you push harder, and eventually flashes to alert drivers when you’re slamming the brakes.

Holy shit - this is just a straight forward informative post explaining the answer to an interesting question. Well done.

Christ, is every Gawker writer a liberal? Trump may not be perfect, there is no perfect candidate, but I’ll take my chances with him over Hillary.

He wasn’t driving a Mustang.

It’s really about what is familiar:

Fake exhaust tips are bad, but when Tesla doesn’t put a fake grille on the cars, everyone freaks out.
