Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Ford vs Ferrari has enough cheese to keep the mice of two continents fat through the winter. But Dad (85) and I (60) like it. It’s our favorite kind of cheese. 

Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby  :)

Which is exactly why when I’m ready to jettison my current mid-2000s 535, a M3 was a real possibility. It’s back seat is big enough to put an adult in (for limited times) without them resting their chins on their knees. But this is just flat ugly and I’m out.

13 years ago I got a E90 BMW.

I watched these this morning after they talking about Rindt during qualifying. What I found striking about their memories of Rindt was some of their choices for imagery. For example, in the video they reference Rindt and Markko going to the Nurburgring to watch Wolfgang von Tripps, and they use this image without any…

I would strongly recommend a visit to see this car, and pretty much the entire Briggs Cunningham collection, at the Collier Museum in Naples Florida. And besides the Cunninghams, they have an amazing Porsche collection including an unrestored, as-raced 917. And a McLaren F1 as well. Definitely worth the trip.

Even the base Civic is pretty aggro.

Unfortunately these aren’t holding up well on track with tons of overheating issues. Recent inquiry on a track enthusiasts group page was who has one and how many hot laps before it starts overheating. The answers came pouring in. Totally stock, about 2 hot laps. With every cooling upgrade option available, between 3…

Dear Sucks:

The Type R feels like it is on another level in regards to chassis/suspension tuning when compared to it’s contemporaries like the STI or Focus RS.

They need a Type-RS version, the "S" for sleeper. All the performance of the R in a more subtle appearance. 

Person finds out their dad is a person. Tragic. 

It’s called the Sport Line, an Europe only affair:

My bad dad died about 15 years ago. I was too young to unpack my feelings about him, then, but I sure wish I had a chance to confront/ask him about some things from my childhood. We gained a certain peace before he died (it was not unexpected), but at that point I was not able to really face some of the demons between…

Honda should have done what Porsche did on the GT3 Touring by getting rid of that atrocious rear wing.

Been there, done that. Years of emotional unavailability and meager at best consideration of my feelings or needs. Despite my every ounce wanting to work things out with a woman I was 100% committed to, after 27 years I just hit the wall and realized I didn’t want to die with the feelings of loneliness and betrayal…

This is sad - in their letter, the writer says they assumed a divorce would be their father leaving because of poor treatment on the part of their mother and that he was an attentive and loving partner. I’ve been the one who gives and gives and gets nothing back. It’s exhausting and dehumanizing. And yes, he could…

Your opinion changes when you’re married to someone who refuses to meet your physical needs, despite counseling, conversations, pleas, etc. When you no longer love someone, you leave them for someone else who meets those needs. When you DO love them, you’re faced with the choice of sacrificing something important to…
