Does Kimoa still charge like a trillion dollars to ship to the US

Idk if it happened in the US but I was the one that got hit with the customs charge and I'm in Canada. It was kind of my own fault cause I've shipped a ton of stuff by Deutsche Post and I've had no issue getting it through customs but the Kimoa stuff shipped DHL and I just assumed it was going to be the same since Deutsche Post owns them.

I would talk about this more but it would just devolve into me ranting about how free trade is a scam and one of the many tools used to oppress the proletariat.

McLaren seems to like running very soft compounds (they did this in the past too) for whatever reason.

If the softer compounds have more pliable sidewalls it could be their way of testing tire deformation in the cold. Impossible to know without being there but it's not a good sign when you're the odd one out.

This will be my second season trying to figure out this dead/dying sport. How much support does Renault give Red Bull and McLaren? Did they just deliver the engine with a "good luck, have fun" note? Honda looked like it had a pretty hands-on role in Amazon's McLaren series, but they also didn't have the competing interest of their own team.

McLaren are poo poo and Honda is gonna shine now that they are free from the infectious tumor that is British engineering.

The last time McLaren won a race it was 2012 when they couldn't understand how the car was actually better than what their simulations showed. The team is piss.

McLaren is the worst run automotive company since the Delorean Motor Company. I'm convinced the Honda engine is perfectly fine and McLaren are both mentally and physically incapable of conceiving how to install an engine in a car properly.

A very thoughtful and well-articulated take for you guys: American's are ruining F1.

Exhibit A: Liberty ruining F1.

Exhibit B: Zak Brown ruining McLaren.

Exhibit C: Haas.

I would think they built them into the chassis' structure to save weight and if you removed them they would fail quite a few impact tests.

Here's a fun fact about mechanics, the fourth time you assemble a car from scratch the hydraulic leaks and electrical issues magically disappear.

If only McLaren had access to some sort of hydraulic system tester or a nearby auto parts store where they could assemble the $50 in parts necessary to build their own and test to see if their hydraulic system leaked
