Gonna make for one hell of a Body Issue.

More annoying: Turn on notifications and get endless ads/promotions. A “you might be getting robbed” notification has gotten completely f’d by every company thinking they can sell you something more every time your pocket vibrates.

Ugh. So flabby naked old people engaging in whatever their particular kink is is more interesting than great sports journalism???

Poor guy was just trying to get rid of the crabs.

I have a friend who’s a federal special agent who calls everyone “Hoss”—probably even his own mom. It comes off as respectful to friends and colleagues, yet I’m certain it relaxes and disarms people he’s about to question. It’s friggin’ awesome.

So folks are only respectful to you when they’re running a grift? That’s just sad, boss.

If you’ve never tried Meletti, I highly recommend it. Rich and complex but not overpowering. Makes some fantastic colder-weather cocktails, especially with decent rye. I like two parts Templeton or Old Overholt and one part Meletti served on the rocks.

Huh. The paint (paired with the factory wheels and lack of lowering) is perhaps the ONLY thing I like about this truck. A lot of us like to go fast quietly instead of in an Xzibit special. Also, it lived its life in Napa and had to avoid the concerned citizens brigade.

Footage of the final pre-strike car:

Public school district, but a very affluent one in downstate New York. Total average buster, with salaries probably two deviations or more above the national mean. He may have had extracurriculars, but not at all out of the ordinary for a single teacher there.

I think there’s a big disconnect between what industry and consumers consider an “auto show.” The huge ones as spectacles (NY, Detroit, etc.) where manufacturers make big reveals of halo models and/or technology are clearly dying. However, consumer oriented ones in smaller cities seem to be doing just fine, and lots…

I believe it’s “gas, grass or ass.”

Excellent health insurance? (Sorry, too soon?)

I picture a dark, smoky GM boardroom, with a fuzzy spy shot of a TC by Maserati projected on the screen.

I knew one original Allante owner. He was the “cool guy” stop teacher at the middle school I went to, known for dating a few of the teachers at various points (“discrete” was not in his vocabulary). His red Allante stood out in the boring car teacher lot like a fire truck. A few years later, he was arrested for a…

There is something incredibly satisfying about getting quietly hammered on canned chuhais during a train trip. Special emphasis on quiet and everyone is cool.

Not as much cargo space as a Jetta Wagon, but also a great call. Even importing a Euro manual transmission and doing a transplant would have been a fraction of the work.

Jeezus. If you love the R32 and are willing to do this much work for slightly more utility, why not use a Jetta Wagon donor body? That might actually be kinda cool and turn some heads. CP.

Excellent posts, but gotta nerd out here: With the exception of way early on in the development process, there really isn’t technically a Kodachrome negative. These are all reproduced from positives.

Hauppauge native here, and the ability to order anything from bacon and eggs to a gyro to full-on surf and turf off the same menu—AT 3AM!!!—is truly a magical thing that is impossible to find any further than about 40mi west of the Hudson.
