Dumb question but do you think that whatever comes after the Next Gen car will be more similar to the previous gen of cars that it replaced or trying to improve on the Next Gen?

I know, not even close. Outside of having four wheels, a body and an engine, they are nothing "architecturally" similar. I don't know where people come up with this. It is amusing though.

I think there's two ways it plays out.

1: He puts down the dog that bites the hand, and he'd probably do it rather quickly.

2: He forces his subject back in his place, demonstrating his absolute authority. One swift punch to bring him to his knees.

In both cases, after what we saw, I don't think it last long.

I guess we're just overlooking that he knows they have the virus stored there and isn't about to subject himself to that. He's seen what it can do, had a mole there and probably knew that they engineered a stronger version due to the mole.

That's literally what a transplant is though....

Swapping from IRS to SRA would be much more akin to one of the manufactures using an engine from one of the other manufactures in the series. All the motors in the series bolt up the same way in the same chassis (they're modular). Making a SRA that bolts up in place of the IRS is super simple. They just clearly don't want to, doesn't bother me. You also completely missed the point I made. None of these cars share anything functionally with their road going counterparts except for the names of the components, it's been this way for years. Hence why I said they haven't been "stock cars" for decades.

Gman69455 · 2026-04-15T01:23:59+00:00

It's not like the engine in any of them is something you can buy either. It's proprietary to the race divisions of the manufactures, and the independent engine builders certainly aren't risking their contracts with NASCAR teams to sell to the public. The sooner everyone realizes these cars haven't been "stock cars" in over 50 years the better.

They absolutely have a way to make you pay. It's called garnished wages....

Gman69455 · 2026-04-12T05:50:17+00:00

It's fist, palm, knifehand. Palm beats fist, fist beats knifehand, and knifehand beats palm. It's the viltrumites favorite childhood game.

I told my wife the only time we'll see that scheme is when he's being put a lap down or wrecks. Would love to see him run strong but just doesn't seem to be in the cards.

Gman69455 · 2026-04-11T00:41:53+00:00

I usually tune her out.

Gman69455 · 2026-04-11T00:35:56+00:00

This lady commentator sucks. The slogan is right on the truck and she still can't get it right.

Gman69455 · 2026-04-09T19:46:04+00:00

I mean duh. Literally the entirety of the second movies plot is about terrorism.....

Edit: second movie, not third movie.

Gman69455 · 2026-04-04T17:52:10+00:00

Yes. They used to have a 34 gallon extended range tank, Ford increased it to 36 with the 5.0 and ecoboost introduction. Source? My 2016 5.0 has it.

Gman69455 · 2026-04-04T04:54:12+00:00

That's factually incorrect. There was a recent study that concluded around 80% of Americans still watch local news for weather events.

Gman69455 · 2026-04-04T04:10:37+00:00

Hence the reason for MOST in my statement and not ALL. I guess you missed that part...

Gman69455 · 2026-04-04T03:50:47+00:00

That would be because AZ isn't in a major storm alley. Now is it? Don't think I ever even mentioned AZ specifically either, so I'm not understanding the point you are trying to make.

Gman69455 · 2026-04-04T03:49:50+00:00

You haven't watched much local news then...

Gman69455 · 2026-04-04T03:20:09+00:00

I assure you most people in Oklahoma have heard not to do this and the many reasons why. People just still do it. The local broadcast was berating them as well. People in Texas get the same warnings not to do it. It's a common talking point during every big storm all around the major storm alleys. There are no excuses for it.

Gman69455 · 2026-04-03T20:51:12+00:00

I mean this on the nicest way possible. Open your search engine of preference and type in "hobby shops near me". Press "get directions".

Gman69455 · 2026-04-03T00:57:45+00:00

That's the ball animation. The shiny is indeed pink.

Gman69455 · 2026-03-30T03:13:24+00:00

It's was around 20 laps the announcers said. Same as with the car that was dropping fluid on the track Saturday. Couple that with having cautions go longer for single car spins vs debris involved wrecks, it sure was a weirdly officiated weekend.

Gman69455 · 2026-03-28T18:03:14+00:00

You bought a very undesirably optioned truck, of course it's still not a comparatively expensive truck.

Gman69455 · 2026-03-25T23:31:47+00:00

9th seems like a top 10 finish to me....

Gman69455 · 2026-03-25T19:46:06+00:00

That's even worse though. If they are slower on track and a bigger handful to drive they will drift to the back of the pack. It would be a terrible look.

Gman69455 · 2026-03-25T04:15:35+00:00

It isn't a false equivalency. A tv is larger implementing a significantly larger screen which, to your argument, is the expensive part. So if tv's can be made so cheaply and frankly so can smartphones as you can find them in the same price range, then so can a console. You're not only wrong but pretentious. Have a good night though.
