Because honestly, the math is wrong. Technically, there are no more four car teams. With the new charter system, they’re limited to three. Its one of those things where you make it sound like every team is spending $316K a year on wheels when they aren’t. A good chunk of the wheels are reused, some for years (living…

Or maybe that’s as closely as they can narrow it down with sufficient confidence?
What is it with Jalopnik and math? Every time they invoke math in an article, they come up with wrong answers. In the first paragraph, you mention 12 sets per car at $6,600 per set (not wheel). Doing the math (correctly) that adds up to $79,200 per car, not $316,800. Then in the final paragraph, the 12 sets somehow…
Why haven’t they been aluminum all along? Because it’s racing. Reduce unsprung weight. Find every advantage. If you want a cheap hobby, take up jacks.
They feel boring to drive, other then acceleration they don’t have much going for them. On my bike I can run it out to 12k rpm and above 3500 the whole feeling and sound of the bike changes, it goes from a nice commuter bike and really comes alive. I have a modified vw that always puts us in a good mood to drive, its…
Maybe because I’ve been riding liter bikes for 40 years, but if fast acceleration is all you have, that gets old eventually. Balanced power and handling doesn’t.
Fun fact: you don’t need a politician who understands the nuts and bolts of your industry. What you need is a politician who’s willing to say “You’re right, I don’t know, what do the experts in that industry say?” And then listen to the experts.
I’m a teacher and I’m still waiting for the iPad to revolutionize education.
Let me rush out and buy a car from this piece of shit.
I didn’t come up with it, but as a lifelong cat lover and doting father to many of them, it’s one of those things where if you know, you know. We need to store dental floss in our household like a hazardous material.
could barely pull a piece of string out of a cat’s ass
Alright, look. I’m going to stick up for the Santa Cruz. 98% of the time or more, I don’t need a full-sized bed and the “baby bed” is the right size for chucking some outdoor gear in the back or picking up some bagged mulch from Home Depot. Towing capacity is also perfectly sufficient. If I were in the market, a…
Everyone knows that you have to caulk the wagon first.
Except it’s math that people are bad at understanding, and we could present the same information in a much more helpful way. Survey a bunch of regular people, and most would answer the quiz at the top incorrectly, which we know because the study has already been done, and most got it wrong.
If they were anything like these renders.....I wouldve been ok with it, theyre outrageous and weird, much like Me. :-P
Automakers are legally required to make available all parts available for 10 years following the build date of a particular vehicle, and most do it for 15+. So I doubt the part not existing is an issue, and if it is, then they need to be fined.
You don’t have any clue, that engine was designed from the ground up for a truck, the original design was back in the 2000's and as Nissan put it “we wanted a V6 with the torque and horsepower of a V8, for the all new Nissan Frontier. The 3.8 is a variant of that 4.0 engine. Now if you want to speak about minivan…
I mean, I’m no expert in mods pricing but from what I’ve shopped around for my own car and hypothetical future purchases what would these mods cost total in the aftermarket? And I mean from legit companies that have good quality. High performance shocks and forged control arms, $2-3k? Beadlock wheels $1,500 plus a…
it gets baked into the loan. aftermarket is from your own pocket or credit card which is worse with the going rates
