I keep telling everyone who says “The R8 is boring” the same thing:

Sounds like you’ve got bigger problems with the world at large than people calling wheels rims. 

Yes yes if we’re being precise about it a rim is part of a wheel and not a whole wheel, but calling wheels “rims” is a common-enough turn of phrase that correcting it is getting farther into the weeds than is really necessary. Of all the hills to die on, do you really want to make this yours? 

Carbon fiber wheels have been around for a while, yes. But the article is about how this company was able to produce these wheels at scale, using more automation in an assembly line-like environment.

A few people I went to high school with a dozen years ago had these. If this was the “get-your-teenager-a-cheapish-car-they-will-think-is-cool” car then it certainly explains the damage. 

I blame coffee. Coffee and the enlistment bonus.

Can’t wait for the Mach E Mach 1.

Nobody says “stopped”-to-60, so the use of that word begs the question of whether or not there is a distinction that none of us are aware of.

Todder / Coked up supermodel, roughly the same weight and displacement, you should be good to go.

I just blame Evil Mercedes for this whole 25 year import law shit show.  

Dear Japan,

When Nissan send their cars, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending cars that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing CVT. They’re bringing mediocrity. They’re Rogues. And none, I assume, are good cars.

Japan Wants You To Stop Buying All Its Skyline GT-Rs

You can’t dangle this forbidden fruit in front of us for 25 years and expect us to not want it once it’s no longer forbidden.

Blame nissan. They are the ones that decided to sell their coolest cars overseas. Can’t blame people for wanting them in the US.
