With the premise that the F1 field will stay more competitive the longer the rules stay the same – since every team will be able to tune and retune to near perfection over time – Toto Wolff of the Mercedes Benz F1 racing team doesn’t want to see the rules change again. This is understandable, though, seeing as they have been tearing up the competition since the last rule change in 2014 when they were able to use a specific Mercedes engine that helps dominate the pack.

April 19 (Reuters) – Formula One should shelve plans for major rule changes in 2017 because the sport is in an ‘ideal situation’ already with faster cars and more competitive races, according to Mercedes motorsport head Toto Wolff.

The Austrian, whose team have dominated since the 1.6 litre V6 turbo hybrid power units were introduced in 2014, said there was an argument for doing nothing after three exciting races this season.

Formula One teams have until the end of April to agree 2017 rule changes by majority vote and meetings are scheduled in the coming days as the sport seeks to make cars faster and more spectacular. Continue Reading

It’s hard to ignore a car company when it has so thoroughly beat the previous year’s first quarter sales numbers. And although Mercedes had a great first quarter this year, GM’s was absolutely phenomenal having earned billions more than the same quarter last year.

If you bought a GM over the first quarter, you likely bought an SUV seeing as they are what fueled the earnings boom. And, no matter your vehicle, you can spruce up any vehicle with our available rims.

General Motors reported first-quarter 2016 earnings on Thursday, and they were a beat: the automaker earned $1.26 per share.

Net revenue was $37.3 billion for the quarter, versus $35.7 a year ago.

Analysts had expected $1.01 per share, an improvement over $0.86 a share in the same quarter last year. Continue Reading

Volkswagen and the federal government have made a deal that will see Volkswagen pay more than $10 billion because of the emissions fraud committed by the car manufacturer discovered last year. With the money being used to buyback customers’ cars, we recommend getting a Mercedes Benz and find yourself worrying much less about exhaust and fuel issues.

Volkswagen has struck a deal with the US government over the diesel-emissions-cheating scandal that has plagued the car maker.

Under the terms of the agreement, Volkswagen would include ‘substantial compensation’ to owners of VW’s diesel vehicles, and would establish an environmental compensation fund.

U.S. Judge Charles Breyer said the settlement is expected to include a buyback offer for nearly 500,000 2.0-liter vehicles and a possible fix if regulators agree on it. The settlement will include an environmental remediation fund and additional compensation to owners to sell back or have vehicles fixed. Continue Reading

HOUSTON (AP) — More than a foot of rain had fallen by Monday afternoon in parts of Houston, submerging scores of subdivisions and several major interstate highways, forcing the closure of schools and knocking out power to thousands of residents who were urged to shelter in place.

Do you guys remember this awesome gem of a video from 2003? The guy narrowly “wins” the race when the other driver backs off a bit, but then loses control and crashes his car and apparently ruins his rims considering he yells “MY RIMS” in an absolute moment of understandable panic.

A study that eBay recently commissioned found that almost 40 percent of millennials are giving their cars names like Bob, Buddy, Betsy, Baby and Bessie. Possibly because of this, they are much more emotionally attached to their vehicles than other generations and are more likely to keep their cars around for a longer time. Likewise, they are customizing these cars heavily, including the installation of all kinds of accessories and high-quality rims.

Millennials, often noted for their nostalgia, are not only keeping their cars for longer, they’re also much more likely to give their vehicles names.

Already the average age of all registered light vehicles has risen from 8.4 years in 1995 to 11.4 in 2014, the US Department of Transportation reported.

And a cultural shift among a new generation of car owners could help increase that number even more. Continue Reading
