These were nice looking cars. The newer ones with the folding hard top were horribly disproportioned and hideous.

You already have cheap Elises.  Check out the Canadian market for them if you need a frame of reference.

You know... there are some people that can afford these. For those people, they’re not overbuying them.

Still cheaper than buying a high end sports car?

Aren’t distributers in general pretty simple?  Aren’t they just little spinny things with some metal contacts in them?

At least you can find the engine on those.

Well...  it probably doesn’t matter.  I mean...  it’s right there in the title.  They’re a bad idea anyway. 

I also thought it might involve multiple races but there was no explanation at all in the article. 🤔

Let everyone order whatever tires they want from whatever manufacturer a couple weeks before the race.

Nothing. They can do whatever they want. Tire companies have lots of money. It’s the race teams that need to be protected.

I know. I watched it. I remember. That’s a pretty specific fiasco though having more to do with the track than the tires.

I think they should toss out the tire regulations. Allow open competition again. Mandate a set price for tires and then let the manufactures compete. 

Did I miss something??

What kind of a name is Leh??  It’s it a wonky spelling of Lee?  Does it rhyme with Meh?  

As a long time Leafs fan, we’re used to having ups and downs. Mostly downs, if I’m honest.

Yeah. I’ve heard this before. Sometimes I’ll tug at it and stuff to make sure it’s not in the way.

I really do. 😊 And I’m a small car guy. It was 100% my wife’s idea to buy it. For perspective, it replaced our Mazdaspeed3.

It doesn’t seem right though. There’s always a few sitting on every dealer lot. I’m sure they’re turning over quickly but they’re not sold before they get to the dealers. 

It’s worth noting that it’s exceptionally easy to slap big tires and light bars on them.  I mean...  they sort of ruin them since for the most part they haven’t done anything about the clearance or gearing...  but it’s easy and people think they look all butch and not at all like poser mall crawlers.  So they do it. …

I’m genuinely curious as to what we should call that engine mounting configuration. I mean... it’s not longitudinal or transverse mounted. It’s kinda on a weird angle and with the crank shaft output pointed sort of up and to the left. Or maybe down and to the right.
