Bruh, did you just try to defend your position by posting American Racing wheels from 2005?

Nope, steel rims and dog dish hubcaps on a muscle car is a look that always works.

Oh and it seems like you’re not aware, but CAD is just computer aided design. That just means a computerized drawing. That’s it. We’ve been using CAD since post-WWII for everything. It has nothing to do with how this was made. It just means there was a computer drawing of this badge. Which honestly does not need to be…

The stainless steel option is simple acid etched using a type of lithography. It’s commonly used for integrated circuits. It is just printing an acid proof layer of plastic on the metal then dissolving the metal around it. It’s very common and not new in any way.

“Cutting edge technology” this is not. They’re using standard industry manufacturing processes and describing them in unnecessary detail to make them seem special. Carmakers have a tendency to do this to give laypeople the impression that they are using some advanced new tech. Aston can’t even make their own…

Books are famously left-leaning. Who wants to be indoctrinated with pinko propaganda like “facts”?

Right. Only one perspective considers science and reality. That’s an argument idiots make.

Found the driver of the white Hellcat.

Then go to a fucking racetrack or autocross. Don’t do that shit on an uncontrolled street.

There is a time and a place for everything. Car shows are not the time nor place for stupid human tricks in cars.

Some musings:

Honest question here: Does it matter if there are multiple emissions standards when the largest auto market in the US is also the state market with the toughest emissions standards? Why bother making different versions when one that complies with CA will pass in the rest of the country?

Ultimately, it will limit choice and stifle development.

The OEM brakes on Silky (my ‘79 Delta 88 Royale Brougham Diesel) faded noticably with the OEM driveline in even moderately spirited backroad driving in hilly terrain. They were borderline terrifying once we tripled the wheel horsepower.

I have a 1980 Firebird track day car that uses a traditional Pontiac engine. Everyone tells me a Chevy will be lighter and cheaper, and I tell them if I had to put a Chevy in this car, I’ll start using a different car. I’m stupid that way, because they’re correct, but it is really fun when someone comes over to see…

When it comes to putting an engine somewhere it wasn’t designed to go, “common and easy” is a feature, not a bug.

The reason the LS swap exists is because it fits into just about anything (look at the external dimensions of an LS motor versus other popular motors out there) and it can be done at a relatively low cost.  Being different just to be different winds up costing more, being more complex, and most of the time, results in…
