Build ships in non-US shipyards? Fuck you!

Maybe only because the Sky body is not to your liking. it does smack crackpipe all day and needs to be debadged very badly, also the wheel wells exposing the engine to all manner of road debris and water is especially concerning, but if it were painted black and had no fake Lambo badging and ran reasonably well, I…

Yeah, was gonna say that Basterds would have skewed production output for German car makers. So they sped up in this world.

Is “number matching” really a concern here?

I’m an engineer as well. I prefer steel bicycle frames to aluminum ones.

Thats because you don’t stay rich by blowing your money on depreciating assets. 

I love how people assume if you have some money you can just waste it. If this were a million dollar car, sure, you probably have a lot more “Ehh fuck it, buy a new one” thoughts, but for most people, $160,000 is still a lot of freaking money even if you are doing very well and if you can save half the price and still…

Given that it’s Trump, anything less tacky than a gold color scheme with a mural of Jesus Christ shooting Nancy Pelosi with an AR-15 is probably a win.

Yeah, there is absolutely nothing offensive about it. The people that are complaining are doing so because Trump was involved.

David, I feel for you. Not because you find yourself in a difficult position with another person’s car, but because I know it must kill you to work on a clean, modern car. Because I can’t just stand here idly knowing what you must be going through, here are some palate cleansers for you:

World Rally (manufacturer) Champions and starting to make bonkers turbo N cars. Is Hyundai the new Subaru?...

Watching him genuinely lose his mind on the WRC podiums with his drivers pretty much cemented that, yes, he is a real hoon at heart...

- Same horsepower as a current WRX in a car that weighs 450+ pounds less

It’s nuts it has LSDs both front and rear and a totally variable/customizable torque distribution front:rear that can be biased either direction. They essentially just made a modern STi/EVO that weighs only 2800 lbs.

Aaaaaaand the countdown to 2045 has begun 

I’m tired of voting CP on anything that might - MIGHT - break down in the future. Maybe it will, maybe it won’t!

If the target audience here is teen and pre-teen girls then that’s actually cool, right? What dad doesn’t want his daughter to dig motorsports, even if the motors are electric? If liking BTS is what gets them there, then so be it. Everyone wins.

Do a crossover TV series where the BTS guys are Formula E racers. Fill…

I’m simultaneously excited and doubtful about this class. Can’t seem to pin the tail on this donkey, but something about Extreme E still seems a bit of a reach for me. Or maybe I’m just waiting for these things to have enough range relative to pace to run the old, long Safari Rally in anger.

Honestly, I like it. I think Blade-Runner/Total Recall/Delorean retro-futurism is a lot cooler than the formless tacticool bullshit for red sweaty dads looking like thumbs with goatees that passes for trucks today.

All we are is rust in the wind.
