Same thing happened with my 2008 Honda Accord EX-L (2.4 4-cylinder).

Wait... Shouldn’t the sign be facing the other way?

Other than myself, there was only one other person who had a classic car (‘73 Super Beetle). But wasn’t out of the ordinary and pretty much a proto-hipster (the leather messenger bag in 2002 was interesting).

How does steering input feel? Of course I dream of nice BMW steering input in a Volvo body, but I hope it’s not as numb as the Subaru Legacy.

That’s exactly right: It is redundant. But it’s not pointless. Podium mic goes out, you have a lav. Lav goes out, you have a podium. Both go out, you have mics hanging from the ceiling. All well-organized events have redundancies. Redundancies make the world go round.

Clive Owen is the best Bond.

I’ll never tell anyone that they need anything. I appreciate my Apple products because of their near seemless interaction, sandboxed architecture and quick attention to patch security flaws. I’m willing to pay for that.

You’re also assuming that $47 before the cost of internet service is somehow equal to or more than an average cable package.

Now playing

8 Port Minis. Sub-1.3 litre 4 cylinder motors, with 4 throttle bodies, that sound like F1 cars. It feels so attainable, and sounds so f’ing good. Sounds even better with a 16v BMW K head on top, but those are rare.... Hot damn... Just listen to it. If that doesn’t get you excited, you have no soul.

Till the day I die.

The Citroen GS Service Van (aka Shooting Brake). It has all the wrong proportions. It doesn’t feel like it should work. Everything on the body is a weird shape, but for some reason I find it extremely appealing. This is one of those Dinky toy cars I played with as a child, and I’ve always wanted one.

I know that fizz all too well. It’s why my username is what it is. 15 years owning a car, you think that fizz would fizzle out. Nope. Still there, going strong, making my wife jealous.


I didn’t let it go. It slipped through my hands as I frantically tried to grasp for it...

My long commute through through the suburbs of Los Angeles to Hollywood sees a minimum of 5 lanes merging and, during the summer time, at least a couple extra from construction are added to that.

Where’d that picture of Fernando Alonso come from?

1. Renault R8
2. Lexus IS
3. Mazda MX-6 GT

The guy hates chocolate, eggs, gays and Jews (allegedly).

I drove my classic this morning for a couple hours, just because I finally got it back from the shop (had someone else rectify a lot of the British electrical issues).

Heck yah
