Obligatory

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Goddamn. First Ford makes themselves a Fiesta ST Ute a year or two ago and now this?

Hollywood’s done it.

Who needs a convertible top anyway?

Formula E will be great if they stop hamstringing the teams and manufacturers like they do in F1. Come up with a KW capacity, mandate that, 4 wheels, and safety equipment. Then let the teams’ imaginations run wild.

Last summer, while sitting at the bottom of a hill climb course throwing one last text to the bestie should anything happen and feeling rather aware of my fragility, I got a text back reminding me “nervousness and excitement are the same feeling, you get to pick how you see it.” He was right, of course. So I choose to…

I’m a staunch proponent of FWD for RallyCross. There’s a Neon SRT4 that regularly cleans up around here, taking out even the Modified class Subarus and Evos. Even at nationals, the FWD champ often would have placed in the top 5 in the AWD classes.

Toyota: “Wow the Amazon team working on the Grand Tour actually want to use the Prius for promotions! Awesome! Give them like 10! We’re so glad the boys changed their minds on these! Everyone loves em!”

But I flap the paddles.

The one car photo that says is best is the one my dad too..because it encapsulates my childhood. This is us as refugees just after escaping as refugees into Austria (this was shot after we made it through). I know people make fun of Lada’s here (ours was a Zhiguli) but to a 5 year old it was still pretty great.

It’s not the performance that is idolized, it’s the experience.

How to fix Nascar: Go back to stock cars. A Charger SRT8, Ford Taurus SHO, and Chevy SS battle. Cars are stock except for safety equipment, tires/wheels, brake pad material/brake fuild/ stainless flexible lines, exhaust, suspension may be fully adjustable, and glass.

My “Round Nose” Yamaha Superjet and my Volvo V90 (Which has since been replaced by a V70R :)

Main verse is incomplete: “My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of The Bro”

Battle-Ready Ordnance Delivery Operating with Zero Effective Readiness, or BRODOZER for short.

At the 6:35 mark, when the guys are trying to come with an explanation as to why people don’t just flip that starter motor part/wheel thing by telling him that it’s cheaper in the States to buy a new one. The Cuban dude laughs and calls them (or US mechanics) “parts changers” implying they’re not real mechanics but…

Only appropriate that on 4th of July the American once again conquers the Brit.

Am I one of the only ones who really liked the Obama episode? I caught myself laughing more then I probably should have.
