My company has some silly formula they use. Essentially what it works out to most of the time is slightly less than half my normal calculated hourly rate.

I can't even go to Jalopnik to get away from Armstrong coverage. Ugh. He makes me dislike being a cyclist right now because of all the negative attention.

Anything spoken on VWVortex. That place is a cesspool of dumb.

All the local tracks have a randomizing assignment of karts so even if you find a fast one, you're almost never guaranteed it again. It's annoying, as the power difference is enough to make me not want to go.

I'd watch Segway Football at least once..

Because Dumbass.

Wow I forgot all about Sariel's website. Used to love seeing the things he would recreate with LEGOs. This Zonda is no exception. The dude had a knack for recreating complex suspension and drivetrain setups in LEGO models.

Guess i'll cross the Escape off my list of potential cars. I somehow hadn't heard of any of the recalls.

There's another one in use by a small town closer to Orlando. It's strictly for the overweight sheriff to get around.

See the disclaimer on their website?

While you're all up there mocking Florida, we've developed a weather machine capable of redirecting storms away from us. Suck it New England!

He really does have terrible luck with cars. But it's hilarious to observe via Twitter.

Force of habit for me now. If my card slides into/through it like at an ATM or gas pump, I check it for those fake shrouds.

Tempted to preorder, but i'm not sold on switching away from Google Maps yet. This phone might require some hands-on time at the Apple store before I plunk down the money.

As a car guy, racing enthusiast and avid cyclist, this is a fantastic story. Couldn't find a more deserving guy to award the gold to.

Skid plates are actually a common item for some older VW's because they're popular cars slam the suspension on. So i'm sure one exists for his Passat.

That guardrail looks more like a curb than anything to protect spectators. And i'm pretty sure basic chain-link fence is just for decoration. Completely the tracks fault for poor safety precautions.

Loved Top Gun and the BMW short films. RIP.

Caterham R500 Superlight. White/Orange stripes.

Why not, I live in Florida and grew up in Pittsburgh. I think I could handle the cold to partake in the joy of driving that car.
