A lot of people are dead, and entire “Renaissance era” towns are rubble. For an earthquake that wouldn’t set car alarms off in California.

If you want to live in a town that’s a certain death trap in a phenomenon that is well known in the area, you shouldn’t be raising children there.

I guess it all depends on where…

All I know, is nothing feels better then getting into the car and setting the air conditioning to MAX and the fan to MAX and feeling that sweet, cool, dry air on my face when it’s 95/85.

I have put crushed ice in a baggie between my helmet and my head riding across East Texas and into Arkansas eventually. It felt…

At this point in history, if oil companies are against it, I’m for it. Sadly, last time we went through this, California got its own special gasoline brew that no one else uses, and the oil companies have been using it to rip us off ever since. The oil companies opposed that too, and it resulted in record profits in…

What is surprising, however, is that the biggest cost to the company is the fee it pays out to drivers...

Tuna Canyon is where all the FRS/BRZ people go, and it’s perfect for that car. The others mostly have down and up sections.

God that road was terrifying in a 70s or 80s era 911.

LA is a FANTASTIC CITY.

As long as you don’t have to actually go anywhere.

Also, Los Angeles City itself is like a car culture repellent. The car culture is all in the areas east and south of LA and in Orange County. There’s also some car culture in The Valley, but if you’re not in The Valley already, you don’t really…

I’ve wondered why they weren’t doing this all along. Especially since those tanks are well insulated if they use liquid propellant. I’ve heard them called “being like a thermos bottle”

It’s designed to blow cool dry air on your hot sweaty face. It vents hot air from the back. For the rest of the atmosphere, it actually heats it up a little.

Have you never come in from a 95 degree, 85 percent humidity day into a room with a window air conditioner and just stood there for 15 minutes letting the cool…

Might have to get one of these for the back of the motorcycle, and have the cool air pumped into my helmet and jacket.

Italy is a known, very active tectonic nation. Where a lot of people die from small earthquakes. Why don’t they have building standards and retrofitting requirements at this point? Italy is a modern European nation, not a Third World shithole.

I’ve seen 6 McClarens so far in LA’s Westside. They’re always stuck in heavy traffic, looking fast while standing still. Because LA.

Los Angeles has a good habit of humbling McLarens, Ferarris and Lambos. If not with slow traffic, it will get them with its “traffic calming” speed bumps that make them scrape the…

We started putting a piece of red cloth on the handles of our black luggage to tell it from the others. Then other people copied us and now there are a bunch of people who do the same thing. They couldn’t just pick their own color, they all picked red.

I have parts in my garage for a car I haven’t owned in half a decade, motorcycle parts for Harleys we haven’t owned in 4 to 16 years.

I really need to take some pictures and put this stuff up on eBay.

I feel the long term problem with muscle cars, is their sheer size. They’re out of sync with the reality of parking a vehicle. They’re just big for the sake of being big. Unlike SUVs/CUVs that are big for the sake of capacity.

Muscle car demand has cycles and dips. It’s the reality of the breed. But they do need to…

Fuck those people. Seriously, they’re everything that is bad about success.

I couldn’t figure out why Ford would ever say they would limit production before gauging qualified demand. That was stupid. A decision I hope they don’t make with the Focus RS 500 just to stick to the “500" part of the name. Of course, than the name would have no real meaning other than tradition.

Be nice to hear a few…

I think Tesla invented the radio controlled drone before Marconi “invented” radio.

You do know that that is how you’re supposed to drive.

It’ll pay off when you can say “I haven’t had an accident in 20 years.” And you get into an unconscious rhythm after awhile when it comes to checking mirrors.

You don’t really have to triple check, just check the mirrors and look to the side, use your turn signal,…

People who think of driving Uber or other ridesharing programs as a career, are just not thinking right. It was a temporary thing for people who have been permanently thrown out of work in other careers because of “progress”.

Face it, jobs are being systematically eliminated from the landscape. Through exporting of…

The world is getting smarter, but the US is getting dumber. Particularly in the South. You can’t have one of two major parties in the US dedicating themselves to the destruction of public education for 40 years and expect it to not have an effect.

This also appears to be a problem in Britain.
