Show me on the doll where GM touched you, Raph.

How is their engine so bad and so good? They have up to 50hp more than everyone else if reports are to be believed. Maybe they’re pushing it too far to counter Mercedes or maybe they’re doing all kinds of questionable things to get those numbers.

It’s California so I’m sure he was ticketed for the padding being known by the State of California to include substances known to cause cancer.

Sick reference

I had to look up what that was and they look like a bunch of ugly failures at making an armored soldier from WW1. If you like that, fine, but Gundams look way cooler to me.

It’s probably an engineer’s work vehicle and they weren’t able to get snow tires put on before the snow storm. They’re trying to get to work, hit some ice, spin, and their pic is on Jalopnik.

I kinda dig these. People are having fun with the vehicles they’re allowed to have, sounds pretty Jalop to me.

I had always been interested in cars, but my dad took me on a big road trip where we visited all the big NASCAR shops. We got tours and I saw the C5R that the Dales raced at Daytona and the love for sports cars flipped on like a switch. I decided to try and watch F1 leading up to 2009 and I love an underdog story so…

I’m curious what the metrics will say about whether or not it actually makes them safer in the long run. There’s a big difference in feeling safe and actually being safe.

The Mazda 3 is one of the best looking cars on the market in my opinion, especially in soul red. Cars get too busy. That kind of simplicity is hard to do well but they pulled it off really well.

MexicoGP 2019. Tire companies are involved with racing for the same reason car manufacturers, fuel companies, etc are involved. They get to push their capabilities, develop new tech, and gain information that their competition can’t. Tires on today’s cars have technology that was developed in racing and today’s racing…

You seem far too concerned about something that has literally no impact on your life whatsoever.

In the same way that all the other technology in F1 is related to production vehicles. It’s the tech they’re developing for the future. Sidewall technology is huge in tire development and Pirelli have asked for larger wheel sizes and smaller sidewalls because it’s more relevant to their production tires.

Like it or not larger wheels and low profile tires are the current trend and it’s fair that a company wants more relevant information to the current and future status of their industry.

Maybe they gave them fancy caps to accept the cost cap?

It’s because no one wants to provide a 16" tire. It doesn’t relate to production tires anymore so the company making the investment into building them isn’t getting anything terribly valuable back as far as directly relatable research. I don’t mind the look of the small wheels today, but I think this is going to be…

It’s probably a pretty strict but basic visual of what the new rules are. The teams will have a ton of room to adjust within those rules so I’m sure we’ll still have the amount of difference we see in today’s cars.

What’s a pirate’s favorite restaurant?

He must be poplar at car shows.
