In other words, don't be stupid around big things that can kill you. Good advice whether you're on a highway, in a rodeo or in prison.

It has always been thus.

I don't have a convenient way to use a wheel/pedal setup for gaming. I just practiced in my wife's Miata.

Oh sure, but I didn't say that because I'm always driving the same vehicle.

Well it would easily work for that.

I've seen them several times myself in urban US.

It doesn't help matters that dealers just love to jack up prices of in-demand models by putting big ugly wheels on them. I happened to see a new FRS on a dealer lot with the biggest possible, ugliest possible wheels with the skinniest possible tires, very obviously not a factory option so I asked about it. That crappy…

Racers around the world have their own heel-toe techniques, varied based on what works for them and the car. These three fellows alone had noticeably different techniques. I've had to try different ways to do it until I settled on one that worked for me and even then I have to adjust it depending on the shoes I'm…

Yeah, that's fun to watch. Also interesting to see how on these speed runs the gas pedal is used like a switch more than a throttle — all the way on or all the way off except for downshift blips. I've only ever seen that footwork inset on Japanese clips though. Is it a Japanese thing? Or specific to that show?

I spent my early years being toted around in a red Corona wagon so I'll always have a soft spot for them, but this is way out of the reasonable range for such a basic automobile. It was only ever just an econobox, trusty though it was. Sorry Coronamaniacs, CP.

Yeah, that makes sense. Great car, marketing miscalculation.

Touché. But it wasn't the Lexus beater that Subaru was hoping for. It was my favorite anyway.

Heh, looks like it came out of a blister pack on a blue card.

Naturally. If one could wear out a CD, I would have worn out this one and "In case you didn't feel like showing up," their live album. As odd as it may seem, on occasion I would fall asleep to Ministry.

Aw! It's adorable!

The frame is constructed of pegasus bones.

And that's the only thing those guys could hear for the rest of the week.

Have the game cost $150,000-$250,000 to purchase and another $10,000-$50,000 a month for the season. Have the opportunity to negotiate with dismissive sponsors. Maintain a staff of people almost as weird as you. Never mind the fun in hiring a second driver with the requisite ego coddling and silly demands.

Paddle controller FTW!
