Drift Build, Physical, and Dash Cams
Build of the Week
Ever wonder what goes into a professional drift car build? These cars are not built like any other street car. Massive amounts of power coming from a 6.8L LS engine to be constantly abused. Stiff chassis with extremely variable suspensions. Do build breakdowns like this make you awe over Formula D?
Article of the Week
As more cars move to controlling everything on a screen, it’s time to look back and see what are some favorite analog controls in past cars. The article highlights some more commonly noted features such as manual transmissions, radio, and temperature gauges. However, the article also notes some not so common features such as ride height, pop-up headlight button, and my favorite: high beam control button when located near the pedals.
Fun Fact of the Week
Dates of the first dash camera being used go back as far as 1907 where documentation footage was filmed in Canada. The first police chase captured on a dash camera was in 1988 in Ohio. Why are dash cameras important nowadays? Maybe this video of an insurance scammer may influence you.
