Stupid Tires Question
I have what may be a very stupid question about tires, but I am going to ask it anyway, Jalop cred be damned.
I'm freaking out, man.
This weekend we found out that my wife is pregnant. Our emotions are currently alternating between intense joy and intense panic. It's mostly joy, but then there's the moments of HOLY SHIT THIS IS A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING HOW CAN I BE TRUSTED WITH ANOTHER PERSON'S LIFE…

Best race car transporter? Best race car transporter.
Calling all Gamecats...
...and anyone else that knows about San Diego breweries. The wife and I are heading to San Diego next weekend, and are hoping to check out some breweries while we are there. I am definitely planning on going to Stone and Green Flash, because I drink lots of their products. What other ones should we head to?
Drove a car for the first time in over 2 months today!
It was glorious. And I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow, when I get to start walking again! You have no idea how excited I am.
I want this. Quite badly.
Straight 8. Manual transmission. Yes please.
I can drive a car again in 2 weeks!
I just had a follow up with my surgeon and she said that my leg basically looks like it is healing as good as it possibly could from such a severe break. The best part is that she told me that I can start putting weight on it in two weeks (which is two weeks earlier than she originally told me). That means that I…
One step closer to getting a new project car
I just found out that my wife majorly fucked up her income tax withholdings this year... in the best possible way. Looks like we will be getting a very large, and very unexpected refund. My new years resolution was to spend less money on stupid shit (like eating out) so that I can save up for things that I really…
Welp, I am officially old now. RIP JWW's youth.
Jalops, I am failing you. Big time. I was just informed that I am receiving a very generous raise for next year, and instead of thinking of a project car to buy, my mind immediately went to thinking about how I could use the extra money to increase my 401k contributions and pay down some debt a bit quicker. I guess…
That Feeling When You Log In To Jalopnik In The Morning...
...and find that you won yesterday's COTD.
Beer Time!
I am finally in good enough shape (and off enough meds) to have beer again! I may not be able to walk or drive a car for another two months, but at least now I have beer to keep me company!
Hi Oppo! Long Time No See
Hey everyone, just thought I would stop by to say hi and see how things are going around here. I haven't had much time to get on here since I broke my leg. I was certain that breaking my leg would mean lots of down time, and thus lots of Oppo time, but it has proven to be quite the opposite - I hardly seem to have…
I am back amongst the living! Kind of...
Update on my broken leg after the jump, for those that are interested. Sexy rally Porsche for everyone else. Oh, and, um, gore warning? Pictures of my X-Rays inside, don't click if you are squeamish about medical stuff. They are not really that bad, just thought I would give a heads-up.
Broke my leg last night :(
Crashed my bike and landed awkwardly. Knee bent sideways. Currently awaiting surgery. Looks like they are going to put a bunch of metal in my leg. I'll post more later when I'm on less drugs.
College Basketball Starts Today
I have season tickets and am very excited.
Handicapped Parking Etiquette Question
I bought season tickets for University of Arizona basketball this year from a guy that wasn't going to be able to use his because of health reasons. The tickets come with a parking pass for the garage next to the arena, and since the guy that I got them from is handicapped, the parking pass is for the handicapped…
Automated Features On Cars: Does Anyone Actually Want/Use Them?
It seems like more and more cars are coming out these days with all sorts of automated features. There is park-assist, voice commands, text-to-speech, automatic braking, radar cruise control, and I am sure a whole host of other things I am forgetting. Are these things that are actually desired and/or used by…
