David’s sheer joy in this warms my cold, bitter soul.

Kristen, you are a brave person to risk tetanus by being anywhere in the vicinity of David Tracy.

Yes, I was going to say that, but I’m glad you beat me to it. I live 10 min away from that junkyard and have had good luck picking parts for some European vehicles as well. 

Agreed on U.S. Auto.  They’re in my rotation when I’m preparing for a yard trip.  

This is in fact an awesome junkyard. US Auto in Sterling Heights is similarly fantastic.

Seems the steering wheel pots (electronic accelerator) broke earlier and they ended up getting stuck on a dune for about an hour. They're still 13th overall in their class.

Alright guys, very funny! Who wrote “do front flip” in the co-driver’s pace notes?

You can go this route, but I wouldn’t want my first major welding project to be a device intended to save my life. No matter how much I practice or how many Youtube videos I watch, I’m never going to be as good a welder or fabricator as someone who does it as a full time job.

Thanks for the crash course. This story was bang on. Talk about making an impact in automotive racing safety!

Tech moves so fast that it doesn’t make sense to pay too much for a TV because it will be outdated in a few years, unless you’re made of money or a fanatic.

If it helps any, we hate our insurance.

it’s not the speed that kills you, it’s the sudden stop

The problem wouldn’t be you being a skilled driver, it would be you interacting with those who aren’t. Honestly, the biggest problem on freeways would probably be lane discipline if such a license existed. All the “I’m doing 5 over the speed limit, he can go around me if he wants,” people and just plain oblivious…

That won’t stop the unlicensed drivers in your scenario from 1) driving just as fast anyway, or 2) running into your smug ass and your high-speed license plate. Probably while not insured. 

Police did not identify speed as a primary factor in any of the 14 fatal crashes on 75 mph freeways in 2018

Yup, I heard one rogue tire sequel in the opening scene for Ronin. Turned that shit off immediately. Then there was that one time I almost watched Gone in 60 Seconds....but then I heard a Windsor block in place of a proper big block and decided to burn my entire entertainment center.

Weird flex, especially on this site, but ok

Another fun Fast and the Furious Factoid: They used the same Vin Diesel for every movie, and just fed him a steady diet of protein and steroids to get the uber-mega-Diesel we see in the most recent films.

Dad, I want to decimate all when I grow up. How do I go about that?

Anything is possible when you overnight parts from Japan.
