I read the article but still doubt the familiar words “custom designed tires for this car”. I don’t think they are custom at all and are simply Michelin sc2 in 235 35 19 which anyone can buy.

No, we are stuck with this terrible layout that wastes almost all the space from rear seat to bumper. Its why people drive SUVs

sedans are stupid and impractical

The cop should be ticketed for reckless driving. He shouldn't lose his job, but he should be reprimanded.

Up is better than down at least. I think it was an old Nascar trick to shove rubber pieces in the coil to tune on the fly. You still see coil spacers, either in or around the spring associated with Sprint cars. Doubt that was what the Lexus owner had in mind, especially not with hardware store stuff.

I’ve met around 40 cup drivers, at least 50 Indy drivers, 20 or so NHRA drivers, and over a dozen IMSA guys. The only one that disappointed me was TK, because he was sick and not his usual jovial self. But I forgive him haha. Tags, Franchitti, Brack, Wheldon, Dale Jr, Gordon, Dixon, Danica, Courtney Force, Antron…

I give them credit for using the cars—as if keeping them in heated garages under covers and only taking them out for short cruises on sunny weekends is so “manly”.

There’s a joke response for that somewhere.

Alright for the price of a few Dinan parts, you could go get a 2JZ-GTE and V160/V161 and swap it into your IS300.

I’m no old man with excellent vision and I completely agree with the OP. I haveHIDs on every one of my cars and feel quite badly for the poor sap that’s down the hill I’m cresting. They blind me when it’s the other way. The new worst offender is the Toyota Corolla with their horribly engineered LEDs. Those blind…

It isn’t about you loving the light. Of course you do. But you’re blinding others, even with your “correctly aimed” lights. You’re selfish.

If anything, headlights are getting way too bright. Driving at night is a terrible experience compared to the 90s and early 2000s. And don’t tell me these new lights are okay because they are aimed down, ROADS ARE NOT FLAT. You jerks are constantly blinding me. It ranges from aggravating to unsafe.

Well cones. I’m watching both shows. Burn me.

This radio stuff has always struck me as a dumb bandaid to F1's issues.

Love my GTI and I don't feel like I need to explain why. The Fiat 500 Abarth though, is so, so very cheap on the used market. You can get one with ~30k miles on it for about $13k locally. I don't particularly love the way it looks, but I hear it's fun to drive and makes awesome noises. For that price it's hard to…

The Japanese manufacturers send all their most boring models to the US. Sometimes it seems like they’re still trying to compete against 70's-80's GM in the entrenched American Or Else market, when even GM has moved on to trying to compete with the Koreans and affordable Germans... Mazda still tries in the US, but they…

Learning to overseer in a FWD car teaches weight management, which is a key part of driving fast on loose surfaces. And yes, despite years of awesome sideways rallyness, sometimes the fastest way around a corner is the straighter line. If you’ve mastered FWD I believe it’s also easier to transition to AWD and the top…

“If you want to build a career as a fast driver, go FWD”

He has enough talent to stay in NASCAR, yes. However, he does NOT have the talent to justify the attention and adulation he receives.
