  1. I don’t know how you guys like Targas better than coupes! Without the C pillars and quarter windows, the classic fastback look is gone and that ruins it for me.
  2. Concert posters are fun. You can get some legit reprints from Wolfgang’s. https://www.wolfgangs.com/posters.html
  3. Speaking of Ocon….. there are rumors that he will go to Mercedes on a one year deal to give Kimi another year of seasoning. That would be one of the moves of all time.
  4. I mean, there are stans for every driver (well, maybe not EVERY driver….. does Ocon have any?). No surprise that Lewis has a lot of them. Not unlike that one Danny Ric fan that has been posted here before. This season just kind of is what it is for Lewis.
  5. Yeah, the AFM/DFM lifters will generally all fail at some point. Some at 25k, some at 100k, some even longer with lots of maintenance. Best bet is to use synthetic and change your oil every 5k. Those lifters don’t like extended changes and need quality stuff. You can always disable it, too.
  6. Yeah the removal of the MGU-H was kind of done to appease Porsche (who isn’t even entering now) and Audi (whose level of commitment seems kind of shaky anyway), so this is what we have. They should have just let them use more fuel and had less reliance on battery (2026 will use a larger battery/MGU-K component).
  7. It’s a shitshow for sure, but I don’t believe Obbs is correct there. We will get more info as we go forward of course.
  8. I should clarify that I don’t mind the look really. The 2006 car thing wasn’t a shot, but just that I feel that the power unit is going be a disaster with how heavy they still are.
  9. Well, the 2026 aero regs seem pretty hampered by the weak 2026 engine. Active aero, cars that look like modern versions of 2006 cars, and active aero (like DRS) on the front wing too because they won’t go fast enough on the straights otherwise. Yikes.
  10. Also, you can remove swirls pretty easily if they’re just from washing. Can easily pay someone to do a paint correction or learn how yourself using a DA polisher. You can get the car ceramic coated once you correct the paint to give it a lot more protection, too. That can be expensive, but you can learn to do it yourself, too. The more pro level finishes are harder to apply, though they last even longer. Basically, the longer it lasts, the harder it is to apply. If not, just use a quality ceramic spray coating like Griot’s 3 in 1 and reapply every 6-12 months. It won’t provide as much protection, but it’ll make the vehicle easier to keep clean/wash, and provide nice water beading.
  11. Use a foam cannon on a pressure washer to lift a lot of the loose dirt first and rinse it off. Then, do a contact wash with a few new microfiber cloths or a nice microfiber mitt. You can re-use cloths, but make sure they’re 100% free and dirt free. It’s not a horrible idea to just use one or two new microfibers for each wash, then just use those for trim/interior/tires going forward so you know you have guaranteed clean cloths. If you don’t have a pressure washer, you can use a pump sprayer for foam application which doesn’t require a pressure washer. You can just apply it one panel at a time because it’s kind of a pain to do it with a hand pump sprayer. Look up AMMONYC on YouTube. Larry’s videos are pretty great and he’s a good teacher.
  12. Andretti hired Pat Symonds. Intriguing.
  13. Had a macro lens adventure yesterday.
  14. Yep, looks like a Summer Tanager to me.
  15. McLaren out here bringing a new damn car.
  16. I don’t have TikTok so the link just opens to random ones for me, but I have had Tandem align my FJ twice. They do good work. I’ll probably take it to them for some suspension work soon ish again.
  17. They revised the rule for jump starts to actually use common sense now.

    Vinyl

    Some are RSD only, some are ‘RSD First’ with a limited release (usually a color vinyl variant) on RSD that will have a larger release later. These days it’s mostly a bunch of crap and most of it you can find later, but there are sometimes gems here and there.
  19. I think that was the Jet he took. But maybe an homage either way. And we definitely need some Big Iron!
  20. I’m thru 2 and loving it. All the little world items and details representing the game more or less like I remember it is awesome.
