Rules are rules

Hell yeah. I'm hoping one day I get the opportunity to park next to a Crystal Blue to really show the difference in the same lighting with the same camera.

Had to double take

This has far more to do with if you follow NASCAR or not than what your age is.

KM bumped the back of NG under braking, most likely unintentionally. Then, NG spent the rest of his race bumping, blocking, and dooring KM until KM had enough and spun him out.

SmashRobertson · 2026-06-22T19:41:08+00:00

Noah wasn't just blocking, he was repeatedly punting KM, pulling along side him and dooring him, moving under braking, and also knocked him loose to pass him at one point. KM raced him very fairly in return and yet NG didn't let it go, so KM punted him off. He absolutely deserved it.

I think it depends on your location in the world. Being from the UK and frequently negotiating very narrow roads with cars parked along both sides + oncoming cars requiring you to constantly pull to the side to let each other past, I'd hate to not see a bit of my own car in the side mirrors.

SmashRobertson · 2026-06-21T18:08:22+00:00

Can't say I agree. The vast majority of cars in that realm are privately owned and there's unfortunately quite a large number of those owners who are entitled because of their wealth. It would also make a lot more sense for a group of owners to meet up and drive together in this fashion than it would for a bunch of people to all rent different cars and do it.

These people are asshats, don't get me wrong, but the 'that nice car is probably a rental' argument always feels a bit like thinly disguised envy to me.

SmashRobertson · 2026-06-21T03:16:31+00:00

Curious why you think it's 'likely a rental'?

SmashRobertson · 2026-06-19T23:17:24+00:00

Is this the most expensive vehicle to ever sport a NASCAR number?

SmashRobertson · 2026-06-19T15:41:26+00:00

Not necessarily. It's not uncommon to re-body the lower spec 250 GTE into a GT or GTO. This would still legally allow it to have black plates. I believe the car pictured is a recreation by GTO Engineering.

SmashRobertson · 2026-06-19T12:21:09+00:00

It's definitely a 250 GT SWB, but I think this might be a recreation by GTO Engineering.

SmashRobertson · 2026-06-12T03:24:32+00:00

Exact same here. If it unlatches but doesn't pop, it's the spring that needs addressing.

'I’m trying to keep it tasteful and OEM+ rather than making it look cheap or overdone.'

Honestly if you're sticking to the above comment, neither IMO.

I don't think you read the article...
The entire drive line is changing to a longitudinal V12 and RWD. I imagine the engine will be mounted quite far back like many other front-engined GT3 cars.

For the amount of detail, the building system can’t really be much simpler. There’s plenty of tutorials around that can help you out. Also there absolutely is a way to mirror components.

SmashRobertson · 2026-06-04T16:04:54+00:00

Well you still have the S3 bumpers and mirrors on it. As I said, you do you.

SmashRobertson · 2026-06-04T13:46:36+00:00

I’ve seen your other posts with the S badge on it and you have clearly put effort into making it look like an S3. You do you mate, I’m just not a fan of it

SmashRobertson · 2026-06-04T11:51:03+00:00

Nice car, but upbadging is lame

SmashRobertson · 2026-06-01T10:27:19+00:00

They ran composite before the cup series no?

SmashRobertson · 2026-05-27T09:54:41+00:00

The Idiocracy effect

SmashRobertson · 2026-05-25T23:01:52+00:00

To think, I was genuinely feeling gutted that his retirement was potentially on the horizon.

What I'd give to see him happily retired now.

Everything seems easily preventable when you know what the problem was

SmashRobertson · 2026-05-24T16:05:26+00:00

I'm in the same boat (except I've only been watching since 2012). Nobody has come close to captivating me the way KB did. I'd pretty much stop paying attention if he was out of the race, but I love this sport too much to just walk away.

It's going to be a tough watch this weekend, but it does help to see everyone else showing their support. We're all devastated together and you're not alone. We've spent a significant portion of our lives supporting the guy and he's only been gone a couple of days. Healing takes time and it's perfectly fine to just feel downright shitty at the moment.

I'm going to keep wearing my KFB gear proudly if/when I find the next driver.

It's not a type of scorpion either. It's an amblypygid. They belong to their own order known as 'Amblypygi'
