Please no more 17" wide seats with 30" pitch.

I was at the 1983 SCCA runoffs where the Swift DB-1 won it's first championship. Formula Ford racing was pretty awesome to watch in those days, but I have to admit I preferred the GT classes.

On this day, a young engineer at General Motors named Thomas Midgeley Jr. discovers that when he adds a compound called tetraethyl lead (TEL) to gasoline, he eliminates the unpleasant noises (known as "knock" or "pinging") that internal-combustion engines make when they run. Midgeley could scarcely have imagined the…

Yay. I'm flying BA from ATL to LHR next Saturday. It would suck not to have any carry-on stuff with me. Hopefully the first class cabin service will make up for it.

I just want to see how you report what you spent on the Ferrari as a business expense to the IRS and not get reamed in an audit.

I'm 6' 2" with long-ish legs. I absolutely die when I get on planes with 31" seat pitch. Fuck 29" pitch and 17" wide seats. No leg room and no shoulder room is crazy. I will pay more for more comfort I just proved it by not buying the deep discounter's ticket to FLL later this week. Not that the mainline carrier is…

Not a lane change. It's a right turn through stopped traffic.

My buddy who has a propensity for buying offbeat cars just bought one to replace his (hideously unreliable) Eurovan. I don't have the heart to show him this video.

5. Is it a v6 Mustang convertible with Florida plates?

Have you ever driven a Suburban or a dually? I have, a lot, and it's just not that big a deal. Weight matters a heck of a lot more than size.

I have to admit the racing thing with the CTS-V has made me want a Cadillac so bad. Kids in college the one thing keeping me out of a CTS right now. Hopefully they will still be making cool cars in about 6-7 years.

Ok, how about "The Best". The RSK is one of the best looking cars ever, but it is without a doubt the best looking Porsche.

I'm seriously thinking about ditching my daughter's Avalon in favor of a Panther next year. She (and her brother who turns 16 in February) will HATE it, but I don't care.

If I was driving one of those things, I'd want window nets, a full face helmet, and a fire suit. You could really hurt yourself if an arm came out on a roll.

The answer is always Panther.

The Audi 5000's from the late 80s (the so-called unintended acceleration models) had their engines way out in front of the front axles.

If I can't get Mike Cooley (DBT) to do my theme song, Junior Brown would be a totally badass alternative. Love me some guit-steel.

I traded my 77 for a 71 240z. After I wrecked the Z I got a 78 Celica that I drove for 6 years and well over a hundred thousand miles. Good car.

I had a 77 back in the mid 80s. Cool car, dreadfully slow by today's standards.

Disagree about MSP. Try going from E to A or B. It's a little over a mile from the end of E to B. There are moving sidewalks, but they are often clogged with bewildered people from Duluth.

The train at ATL cuts down on a lot of walking. The most you ever have to walk is (essentially) the length of one concourse which…
