If you gonna hate on that paint stripe, GET OUT.

DO NOT TEASE ME ALFA

waiting for “just overnight parts from Japan”

With regard to off-road truck racing being “country”:

While it is true that “country” folk do seem to have a love of driving large trucks through muddy terrain, that’s very far from the type of off-road racing on display here.

Smokey was a genius and everybody loves him for finding every loophole in the rule book. Chad Knaus is right there with him I think and everybody hates him (me included). I just don't get it.

Eh, I’m more looking at the atmosphere of the X Games (as a whole, not just Super Trucks) vs. NASCAR. NASCAR is, indeed, stereotypically country. Keeping with stereotypes, the X Games attract a bit more neon-hued, younger crowd that often uses “bro” unironically. I love the exposure that these motorsports are getting…

Over a decade ago, my friends and I would gather on Sunday's to get drunk and watch watch NASCAR. As little attention we gave the racing, we seemed to stop going around the time restrictor plates were introduced. Maybe that's just a coincidence.

I know I’ll get hate for this, but RallyCross is probably the easiest motorsport out there. Watch it, there’s no line, no hitting your marks, it’s mostly luck.

Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series.

The Land Cruiser 70 is still available today.

Insanely high beltlines. All of the decades in advancement of safety, and this is what they come up with? I mean sure, more metal, more passive safety and all that jazz...But then you’re like driving around a bunker that you can’t see out of. So it’s like one step forward, two steps back.
