That said, there was a sad period in NASCARs history where they were fining and penalizing drivers for swearing. It was bullshit and they learned their lesson that it bad for drivers, bad for fans, and just dumb in general.

Meanwhile NASCAR complies the best radio chatter from each race and posts it as a highlight reel on YT. They know their market. NASCAR is for men. F1 is for people with delicate sensibilities.

“Why would the bank let me do this?!” is a hilarious take.

The bend of the blue curve is impacted by interest rate, not the overall length before it hits zero, that is your term, which fixed at 36, 48, 60, 72mo etc.

There are no real numbers in that graph, but it just represents the relationship between loan amortization and vehicle depreciation. I grabbed it from a site…

If you put 20%+ down on your car, and finance for 4 years or less it is very likely that you will never be underwater.

The higher your downpayment the lower the blue line will start on the Y axis. The shorter your term, the faster the blue line will drop. The yellow lines above the blue are equity. the yellow lines…

People have gotten way the too comfortable buying cars outside their means. My family AGI is just under 400k and it still felt like a splurge to buy a brand new Kia Sorento.

I can’t imagine paying nearly double to get pretty much the same features in an X5, GLE, Q7, etc. but it seems like people who make a third of…

These videos are why youtube has been blocked on our TVs and kids devices. not only are they mind melters where Kids turn into vegetables just watching it, they are also setup with the most grating music and sound effects. Not only that, once you watch one, the youtube algorithm with spam thousands of them to  the…

They made the right call. And it was good the rulebook was already written that wins for playoff eligibility need to be unincumbered by penalty (also known as a “cucumbered win” in Nascar socials). So, Dillon still “won” the race, keeps the trophy, keeps the purse, but his chickenshit move doesn’t earn him a trip to…

I hope she enjoys the no fly list.

Very Cool. Bristol is such a special track, love seeing people exposed to it that normally wouldn’t be.

Shows how versatile that facility can be, Nascar on asphalt, Nascar on Dirt, Trophy trucks, Football, now baseball.

Yeah. leave the extra coiled. some fans could be there to assist with cooling, the BMS already has to have cooling so it’s not a big stretch to add it for the cable spool as well. Include heat sensors to limit Amps and charging speed based on the cable temp.

All these EVs have good frunk space, at what point do we start integrating a L2-L3 charge cable with each car?

You are just wrong. ANY extra interior lighting is going to cause your pupils to dilate more than they should and diminish your night vision. This is just science and not up for debate. A car interior should look like this at night, and I’d even say that they have the gauge brightness a bit to high even here.

Show feels a little too much like pimp my rides. Which was a good show of its era, but not really worth repeating. Sure they are resolving some of the criticism of PMR, fixing mechanical issues and making the cars actually usable, but the mods still go over the top. First episode they build a pizza shooter and a…

2020 Ryan Newman Daytona Crash. I was sure I watch a man die. Car upside down in the air t-boned into the driver window. Ryan Newman relives his fateful, scary day at 2020 Daytona 500 with Tom Rinaldi | NASCAR ON FOX (youtube.com)

2015 Austin Dillon Daytona crash into the catch fence. Car went from 180mph to 0 in a…

Richard Childress doesn’t know how to run a race team. RCR is struggling hard in Cup. Their equipment is junk. Kyle Busch can win in just about anything but he can’t win in RCR equipment.

The window sticker isn’t that obtrusive. It makes it easier for police to enforce (if you get a parking ticket AND your sticker is out of date, it becomes a much bigger issue).

It’s also nice when shopping for used cars from private parties. I went to see a pickup a few years ago they guy said “was running last…

No. Right on Red is perfect. 

I’ve seen enough JustRolledIntoTheShop videos to know that mandatory yearly vehicle safety inspections should be the norm in every state.

$50k. Representing about 20% of my yearly household net income. And even that would feel like a stretch.

I can’t imagine how people spend more than that with less income unless they are just not prioritizing their retirement, 529, real estate, etc.
