Most $30,000 cars are useful 20 years later, let alone the 2 yearsit takes until Apple makes your phone useless with an OS update.

Seems like there’s 1-3 for sale at any given time in a major metro area. If you want something specific (mint car, cheap project, color X, black interior) it may take a few months of waiting, but it shouldn’t take you more than a season to find the right one.

Griffin McElroy is my favorite fake celebrity ever.

Almost none in NASCAR, F1 has terabytes of data per car but the driver doesn’t won’t know shit until post-race so in the heat of the moment it’s all him.

lol coming from SF Bay, I don’t care where it is, it’s in state, on a Sunday, I can take Monday off and find a place to crash for two nights within convenient distance.

I’ve got my fingers crossed he had more fun in NASCAR then he let on and someone coaxes him into a stock car... But that’s a helluva longshot given how much pandering to sponsors the average NASCAR driver has to deal with.

I crashed through all of extra gear yesterday, the most memorable parts were Rory saying “wow isn’t that cool Chris” and Chris quietly going “no, it’s rubbish”. Next season has a lot of potential if LeBlanc can fit in with the two.

Did you not read the article? It specifically states that many cars got demerits for creating too much glare: aka they were too fucking bright where they shouldn’t be.

Custom valved Bilsteins, it’s a bit of a gamble if they’ll nail the valving right from the factory but I feel like it’s really the best way to go these days no matter what you want to do. Depending on if you’re keeping OE springs or lowering springs that fit OE or going to custom spring rates, you should be able to

He was able to get some power in a straight line, unless it only sloshes out under braking...

Looks like alignment to me, totally fucked toe curves, anytime the weight transferred forward no matter how gentle his inputs it rotated. Maybe a misguided attempt at rear-wheel steering?

Wow, flexible goalposts you have there. You’re comparing Raikkonen’s 10th & 11th season to Grosjean’s 1st and 2nd full seasons, not every rookie or future Champion dominates from day 1, hell Hamilton was ‘beaten’ by Button their three seasons together, should we toss Hamilton aside because Button delivered and

Kimi and Grosjean were teammates for two years, Romain is no slouch with their qualifying record at 20-16 in favor of Kimi, I wouldn’t call that ‘far quicker’.

No big deal if they do a good job. Another poster mentioned they will “loose credibility with performance enthusiasts” What a fool, anybody who knows anything should know that FWD isn’t a death sentence for fun.

In my experience a proper bedding procedure reduces noise, get heat in the pads and rotors to get a good transfer layer of material on the rotors. As you daily drive and use the brakes when cold the transfer layer seems to get used up, so go through and try to do the bedding procedure again, several hard stops in

Lotus, create the car the internet benchracers want. Wheel and deal with Ford for a 2.0L EcoBoost, 252 horsepower in crate form for ~$7k, hopefully they cut you some slack by buying in bulk and giving them some good promotion. Do a light redesign of the Elise with a focus on reducing production costs, let it gain
