What did you do to your Blackwing today?

[Dmkp621]

Took my DEF BW out for a spirited drive or 3...

Speaking of drives, anyone pop the hood on their 5BW after a drive and put your hand on the shock tower brace? Holy moly that thing absorbs some serious heat!

I, like many old people, have a pet peeve of calling wheels "rims".

Some us old people (69) also are in the habit of calling them rims. Formed back in the 70's when we raced using 3 piece wheels (inner rim, outer rim and center section). The only spec the tire engineers were interested in was the specs on the rims (diameter and width) so we talked rims. We could adjust offset using different width rims inside and out.
Also did a lot of dirt bike playing and bike people tend to use the term rims as well.
You might want to save your rants for something a bit more important that wheels v. rims.

For the love of the baby Jesus people, it's more of a joke than anything else.... It's getting to the point I'm afraid to say anything on this forum anymore because of all the, I don't know pick a word! UGH!

Technically not wheels until you put the tyres on them

Maybe you just need to have a drink.

I suggest you have a nice cold Margerita with an authentic salted wheel.

Showing my age too. It was always "rims" and "wheels" referred to tires and rims together.

I love the interwebs. So much info.

I don't personally but a good friend grew up with the Dryer family and raced with Dryer sponsorship back in the 70's and 80's. I bought two dirt bikes from them but I just played. Shattered a femur at age 50 but just played I think I know who Dink is but I will ask my buddy.
