What is that?
Wheel weights. Their wheels will be unbalanced, meaning their steering will vibrate at certain speeds, depending on what the new balance is.
It’s not unsafe per se, at least not primarily. It’s annoying as fuck tho.
Is that literally why they exist? To fuck with people?
They are used to balance tires, but only one or a few in the right locations.
Haha no, wheels and tires can’t be produced balanced consistently. So after the tire is put on the wheel, you put those weights on to balance them.
Holy shit my brother I had seen these things for years, thrown in the ground and always figured they had something to do with cars, only didn’t know WHAT. you sir have scratched that mental itch and my brain lobes are forever thankful

Ohhh the syntax for tagging subs is an exclamation point?
Yep, and I the web UI it also autocompletes so much easier. Not sure about all the apps though
Doesn’t auto complete on Liftoff.
On connect it renders your link excluding the exclamation mark, but the other one includes it as a part of the link… Odd
