We all have a fascination with lightweight wheels for our car, heck it’s like jewelry for your “other” woman.  Well, my buddy Brad knows a thing or two about materials and motorsport and he’s mentioned to me that some wheels are great for the track, but are simply too fragile for serious street use.  Indeed some wheels are so light, that they are basically single season throw away items.  The snap above comes from LamboPower, and illustrates the point pretty graphically.  Buyer beware, but be informed.

This podcast started in my basement (no lie, very embarassing footage actually, kudos if you can digg it up).  Over time we evolved the podcast to be more proffesional content, but I personally have always wanted to go back to having the users be the feature.  Every week they uplaod tons of great stuff.

We’re still going to do the proffesional stuff, but it will likely run under a different name.
