How is it pointless? They built the most serious factory drag car ever made launching several new technologies never seen before in production.  

You may not like drag cars, but then it’s not for you.

The tiny wheels are not on the car at delivery. It’s a drag car it needs the pizza cutters for optimum performance.

That’s like being upset that a Porsche GT3 comes with a set of road racing slicks.

That’s a logical fallacy: appeal to authority.

Just because your (amateur) experience in one vehicle tells you something does not make it true nor does it makes you an expert.

No, lift off oversteer has nothing to do with AWD, think about what you just said. It’s lift off oversteer, that means there’s no/neutral power being applied. The engine braking effect is minor at best in that transition period.

Secondly understeer has to do with how the system is configured and most importantly the…

You’re absolutely wrong

Needs to be a V12 or I care 90% less.

Jalopnik readers buying new cars? I think not.

That’s why capacity planning exists. That’s actually a calculated value in the paperwork you submit in the PPAP before the customer will let you supply parts.

If you cheat on that planning chart (other companies do it) and get caught without parts in time you’ll pay for a line shutdown...that becomes hundreds of…

I work for a fastener manufacture. We manufacture our own parts and have our heat treater within our corporate umbrella. We heat treat not only our fasteners but parts from all our competitors.

We may not win the part itself but we still often get paid to process it for the competition.

Musk is myopic in his goals.…

And because I’ve let off you’re waiting around 20 min for it to build boost again....

You can get very similar results with a cabinet blaster gun, a bucket full of blasting sand (Tractor supply sells everything). Abeefy compressor is nice but you can dial down the pressure to 40-60 psi at the outlet. I did small parts with a roofing compressor for years.

You’ll spend $40 if you already have a compressor.

You’re much better off bead blasting the corrosion off and going at it with a buffing wheel or pedestal mounted buffer.

It’s more equipment but you’d be done with clean up in 45 min. What’s 9 hours of labor worth to you?

Notchback Volvo?

Yeah the old man gone soft in his age and wealth but he’ll still put you on your ass without a second thought.

My comment was on Trump’s general style. I’ve watched him closely for years even before the election cycle, personally I think I’m better informed than the average person on his style/behavior.

Secondly picking up on someone’s behavioral patterns is much easier for the average person than trying to personally decide…

You’re dealing with a more educated and affluent community without the cultural problems associated with a large metropolitan center that had been through major decline.

I’d love for the Michigan State Police to publish statistics and see if the number of drunk driving incidents has come down.

Could be worse:

Here in Detroit along 8 mile there are 16 or so dispensaries, at 5pm on a thursday or friday you can smell it rolling out of people’s cars by simply driving down the street. Go to the home improvement store and the whole place reeks.

I’m not saying it’s good or bad but it has had a significant effect on the local…

He’s 25+ has a 4 year degree and can’t figure out how to buy an inexpensive car?

I think we’re onto a larger issue here.

But that’s not dust, that’s black filth.

I stored my w115 in a normal residential garage for 7 years with a cover, it had a bit of fine dust on the paintwork. Seems strange that’s all.
