The battery shit it just infuriating. BMW does it too where you have to use their battery. Like are the electrons from this battery different? No? Ok well I’ve supplied my own battery, please tell the charging system there is a fresh one. For $1350 you can afford to not even do the computer programming and burn…

I find it funny and a bit odd how everyone refers to him by Mr. Barber. Like I get it. But it makes it seem like he has no chill. Many of the other billionaires seem to go by “Bill” or “Elon”

“With that, many have understandably expressed concerns over truckers’ job security”

I do ok with knowing about racecars having been in the industry on and off over the years. I’m not super up to speed on GT4 since I haven’t run that equivalent class for a decade now, but I have a real hard time believing the cost per mile of a McLaren is even close to the same as the Mustang. Below is an article that…

Thats the point. They are all performance balanced. So why buy the exotic with the expensive upkeep and repair costs?

Another thing to remember is there are internal self locking devices to keep the nut on incase it self-loosens, at least the wheel wont fall off. Those have to be defeated, then the nut can be spun off.

I think this article really missed the crux for trying to yell at rich people. There is absolutely no reason to have redundancy in space programs. That’s been a cornerstone of space programs forever because of how expensive and how far away the equipment is. Everything has to be perfect because it is expensive to…

Gotta say I am loving GT4 racing this year. I always get a laugh at the morons who bring a McLaren to it and have a Mustang just take them out. How does that feel to have your supercar wrecked by a Mustang that is just as fast? Not good I’d imagine.

“Our goal with the Super Trofeo EVO2 is to reach 500 [race cars sold] in just a few years,”

That is a ton of power, we could easily run our entire house off of that. I may have to give up the guest house AC, but thats just the office

To be fair, sometimes it is worth going with a “lesser” brand. With my E46 M3, I could either get Michelin or Bridgestone with comparable grip. The extra life out of the Michelin did not make up for the cost. So I ran Bridgestone and had the same performance for less cost. Also there is so much crap here on the roads,…

I am not a fan of Scott because he is too perfect. He is an incredible driver year after year. From all accounts he is a great guy off the track too. You don’t hear him getting caught up in other drama, he just lets his driving do the talking. 

Well since you’re here on Jalop, I’m surprised you haven’t been hit with the “you don’t actually need a truck. Have you considered hauling all your crap in a Miata? They are better you know. You know a old Mercedes diesel wagon would be able to do the job just as good as a new F150"

I am so excited for this. To put my money where my mouth is, we put our $100 reservation in this weekend for a spot in line. I am double excited that it can theoretically act as a battery for our home. It is more economical to just buy this truck and park it in my yard than getting Tesla Powerwalls for our house. The…

Why were they riding the wrong way on Thunderhill?

Fuck the people that booed him for not being American. Many winners are not American. Indycar is fortunate to have entrants from all over the world.
