The wheels are probably beneficial as well. The wheel/tire area generates a significant amount of turbulence in the airflow around the car, since it’s spinning while the rest of the body is stationary relative to the air flowing over it. Reducing the fender gap and adding a big flat surface on the outside of the…

They dock at private slips with professional security. And if you can afford a megayacht, you can afford to embark and disembark via helicopter when it’s already at sea. Only the poors actually walk off their yachts, ugh.

I’m in NJ but I drive a Subaru, so my gold chain is made from hemp.

TikTok is also great for oddly soothing time-lapse videos of rusty old tools being beautifully restored. (I refer you to @my_mechanics.)

Per Dante, the bottom three circles of Hell were reserved for the Violent, the Fraudulent and the Treacherous. I think that’s basically who attends CPAC.

I’m very aware of the FIA rally pyramid and the new Rally1 regs. The previous commenter didn’t say “the World Rally Car class has changed over to the new Rally1 spec”, they said “WRC is cancelled.” Pretty misleading way to phrase it if that’s what they meant.

WRC was cancelled? That’s weird, because Rally Estonia was last month and Rally Finland kicked off today. Toyota has been dominating the championship all season over Hyundai and Ford... with the new GR Yaris chassis, which they introduced at Monte Carlo in January. So exactly what the hell are you talking about?

Shame General Tire owns the Altimax name. It would be perfect for your theoretical Altima-Maxima trim level.

Maybe all supercars should be priced not in dollars, but in the equivalent number of Spec Miatas one could buy.

I highly recommend not getting your auto business news from Jalopnik. They generally have no idea what they’re talking about, but write the clickbaity headlines anyway.

For that bid increment, you could get a very nicely built Spec Miata and have enough left over to run a season’s worth of events.

I visited Utah not too long ago and went to the grocery store for supplies where I encountered a man, shopping for food with his family, with a LARGE revolver holstered on his belt. Do these people actually think they’re liable to get into an genuine O.K. Corral-style shootout on the way to the freezer section?

“Couch commando” is another term for it. 

There’s a post over on Jezebel today about how Jones’ lawyers mistakenly sent the Sandy Hook parents’ legal team his entire phone’s worth of text messages from the last two years, effectively giving them proof that he has committed perjury and refused to supply evidence that he claimed didn’t exist. He’s very, very…

I guarantee Trump made more in donations to the “Election Fraud Fund” between November 2020 and January 2021, peddling the exact same thing.

Especially in New Jersey.

Yeah, that’s the weirdest part. There’s no scenario in which putting on a second set of mediums is anything other than a massive blunder at that point. If they had gone to hards they maybe could have run the remainder of the race on them for a one-stop strategy, or if they had gone to softs at that point they could…

Obviously Dymaxion. I’d throw some cladding on it, call it a luxury midsize SUV and sell millions.

This. Busyforks is the correct answer.

I’m not a Porsche guy, but I had the pleasure to see the Turbo Study in person recently. It really is beautifully finished, and that mint green exterior/ivory interior combo they chose for the demo car is *chef’s kiss*. Really special car.
