Regardless if whether any of us agree or disagree with his opinion, Bubba is correct that this is a very poorly (non-existently) cited article. It reads as more of a rant or opinion piece. And throwing ad hominem insults about him (Bubba) and his choice of cars is lazy and a poor excuse for debate.

I read it perfectly fine. The only paragraph in which you provide anything resembling numbers gets caught, as I said, in the “correlation does not equal causation” trap.

“For one, they’re aerodynamically inefficient. If you opt for the largest wheel on a Tesla Model X, your range is reduced by about 10%. This is true…

It shows that GM planned for that suv to have smaller wheels with larger tires. Not sure why someone putting 24s on after is GM’s fault. Those brakes work fine, I’m sure.

“Production cars often imitate design elements of race cars to make them look sportier, but fat sidewalls have ruled in the top levels of stock car and open-wheel racing for decades.“

Yes, because the rules limited those particular classes to a small diameter wheel. Large diameter wheels have been used in every other…

You know as well as I do why wheels got bigger. The beltline of cars got raised, because the hoodline of cars got raised, because of the European pedestrian safety regulations. If you put 14s on a modern car, they look horrible and undersized.

Your top three stunts would be the guy from Stagecoach, that scene inspired the truck scene blatantly.  His son in Ben Hur during the chariot race.  Then finally the stunts in the truck chase.  

I think all the “bodies” in that video are lifted off the skateboard chassis to show that it’s an EV...

Like Steve Jobs?

I actually remember this last year, because tomorrow last year is when I found out my 55 year old mother had pancreatic cancer. She passed away two months later...I can’t believe it’s already almost been a year.

It’s got 3. One to start the engine, two to roll down the windows.

Heaven forbid you learn something or look closely enough to notice two completely different triangle shaped stickers/badges! Placement is traditional. Here’s an original 1750 GTAm with the Autodelta badge under the Quadrifoglio.  

What is wrong with all of your eyes? That thing is fucking gorgeous. 

Top is the Quadrifoglio Verde, required on any Alfa, especially fast or racing cars.

Oh my god, just go live in the woods and eat rabbit shit and moss and die if you hate people so much. I hardly think basic human interaction is a fucking strain on your daily life. Is it that effing hard to say “Hi” “How are you doing?” “Have a good night/weekend”? As if not having to say hi or make eye contact with…

You fundamentally misunderstand the motivations of corporate overlords. They don’t do things with the customer’s comfort in mind. They have two motivations: extract as much money from you as possible, at the lowest possible cost to them.

Everyone should feel welcomed at Jalopnik. Except people who dislike Corvettes doing donuts. 

I actually live in Tulsa and I frankly like that they’ve made a place gamers can gather together to play some games, hang out, and maybe play some table top games. I kind of dislike that you are targeting your article at tearing them down for this decision. But hey, you’re free to say what you want.

GIF. “gift” without the “t”

My mind isn’t changing. It’s a hard G.
