No, MissingProng can't do math at all. He's entirely
number-phobic.



You're an idiot. I can do the math without even making a single
actual
calculation.

That's very Zen: doing the math without doing the math.

It is 100% obvious that it is a futile endeavor, and then
there are several other factors that make it a prohibitive venture.

The term for today is:

UNSPRUNG WEIGHT

You know... that thing that one does NOT want to add to their
suspension assembly, particularly at the wheel... ;-]

Gosh, why do people have wheel covers?

Generally found on NON-performance autos.

Is wheel bling found on performance autos?

Most of them have aftermarket rims that do not need/won't accept wheel
covers. Some of those rims come with built-in spinners.
Spinners are considered excess weight,and tacky.

Even higher-level factory autos now come with non-wheel-cover rims.
Most people who use the term "bling" would not consider them to BE
"bling",not being gaudy enough. "Bling" is about ATTENTION.

(ones people don't care about handling or unsprung weight)

How many care? ISTM that properly inflated tires is more important
for "performance" than bling.

There are cars built for "looks",and cars built for "go",looks being
secondary. "Bling" is about ATTENTION.


Also,often found on the side of the road after passing a pothole. ;-)

As opposed to Dimbulb in this argument (found in the middle of the
road with John's tire marks up his backside).
