I don’t know you, but I like you.

This might be obvious, but I’m here to say that even really stubborn membranes/shells can often be peeled without too much stress if you find that spoon in your cutlery drawer that has just the right curvature to slip under the shell of your hard-boiled egg.

I think that there were a lot of people in her life who didn’t provide her with the care she was due.

They sold a track-only version of the RC8R that was awesome, and a great value. It wasn’t a competitive race bike, but to me it makes way more sense than this.

You just keep throwing one strawman after another at me. JFC.

You absolutely made my night, thanks!

I don’t remember taking a “bigger is better” position. I have zero interest in ever owning one but the Vespa is a miracle of engineering and I admire Corradino D’Ascanio for his design.

Absolutely sick bike, but shit choice for a track toy. At 150 mph, you really, really want a fairing to tuck in behind.

Any joke about Britney made since Craig Ferguson’s monologue in 2007 comes off ignorant and cruel to me. Here it is in all its glory - every second of the 12+ minutes worth watching even after all of these years:

To effectively turn the V8 sideways. Mounted transversely, it has about the same exterior dimensions as a small block Ford V8 mounted longitudinally.
