You’re right.  It was ‘Smash Racism’, an ‘anti-fascist’ group that knocked on the door, mentioned a pipe bomb, and attempted to intimidate and threaten his family at their home.  You’re right, totally acceptable.

How about Vt. Gov. Phil Scott. Who races and wins in a late model!

I know it’s not the correct response, but I wish Jalopnik itself would dial back the activism. This site is best when it’s a nice respite from reality, where we share in the love of cars and motorsports. Too often now it’s being dragged into the same hyper-political climate of mocking and finger wagging.

3,000 sq ft house?  I thought this vehicle wasn’t aimed at the poors?

I actually saw a Borrego in the wild the other day. I should have bought lottery tickets.

By week 3 someone will have what is in definition not a sucker car, but behaves much like one. Then what? They’re not technically breaking the rule but they’re achieving exactly what you’re trying to eliminate?

The problem isn’t the cheating, it’s the rules.

Smokey Yunick is laughing at this from his grave. 

This is stupid. The innovative ways teams cheat is the only thing that could possibly make NASCAR remotely interesting/fun.

I know how to save it! Amalgamate!

First, I see this going one of two ways.

Hardcore Corvette fans are going to insist that if it isn’t a FR naturally aspirated V8, it’s not a true Corvette (which is why they really should call it the “Zora” instead). I say make it the Ferrari/Porsche killer Arkus-Duntov always wanted the Corvette to be, and then price it accordingly.

I’m hoping this is one of the first things that gets fixed when Nascar is sold. Any halfway decent management group would see what a detriment to the sport that all this garbage is.

Have a buddy that’s been on various NASCAR teams, including as a crew chief, and he said that if they passed inspection on the first try they got in trouble for it because that means they weren’t “pushing the envelope” far enough with what they were allowed to do.

G-g-g-ghost ships?!

Depends: Chevy’s probably betting that they won’t need TOO many piston ring specialists in the coming decades.

They’re still going to need engineers, but are the type they have the type they need to move forward in the coming decades?

The buyout is for salaried employees (read: engineers).

The trucks a little too tall
Could’ve used a few less pounds
Tight headlight points hardly reknown
Ford has a black-tired beauty with big bright eyes
And points all their own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high

People just hate change. You’ll probably love it in 4 years.
