Comment Of The Day: Homologation Special Wheels Edition-November 2024

Image for article titled Comment Of The Day: Homologation Special Wheels Edition

Formula One is claiming that it wants to move to an 18" wheel and tire package for the 2021 regulations in an effort to remain relevant to the world of road cars. That might have been the case in 2004, but who really even offers an 18" wheel anymore? How much could 22" wheels cost, Michael? Ten dollars?

Here’s a real suggestion that gets to the meat of the idea. You want to be relevant to road cars? Use road car wheels!

I love this idea, especially as it means manufacturers like Ferrari and McLaren have to go a long way into their respective back catalogs to find 18" wheels anyway. At least both Mercedes and McLaren could use .

For thinking outside of the box box box, gotheframe has won today’s COTD. There won’t be another one until Monday, so you get to keep the famed COTD trophy for the whole weekend! You earned it.

And apropos of nothing, there’s a new Haim song that dropped yesterday I’m kinda digging right now, so here it is.

This Old Chrysler Cordoba Training Film Throws The Weirdest Shade At The Thunderbird
Car-dealer training films are an odd branch of cinema. Like all film genres where the goal is something other than just making a good movie (religious films or advertising, for example) the results can seem weird and campy when seen out of context. In this 1977 Chrysler Cordoba vs....

Opel Is Really, Really Proud Of Its 'New' Logo
I can’t help it — I get excited about new logos. Yes, I know they’re ultimately disguises that corporations use to instill the warm glow of familiarity and comfort within us, so they can later exploit that goodwill to extract money from us. But I’m a graphic design nerd,...

Blip: Welcome To Dimension Paint
It’s Friday! The day we, traditionally, take a moment to remember our brothers and sisters in Dimension Paint, a strange and beautiful parallel universe where all living beings are just like us, but all objects are rendered with the skilled hand of a mid-century graphic designer. It’s a beautiful...

Here’s What Lockdowns Do To Car Sales
I would not want to be a car dealer right now, as lockdowns shut things down as weather cools and cases spike. That and more in for December 4, 2020. I suppose that this is what we can expect in the coming weeks and months here in the States:...
