Okay, this is slightly off-topic, but what does a Formula E race sound like? The only Formula 1 race I ever attended was the Long Beach Grand Prix back in the days of howling Cosworths and shrieking Ferrari flat 12s echoing off the buildings. Mind blowing and ear destroying. So what’s Formula E like? Whiney?

I’ve driven that stretch of road a few times. It’s almost as thrilling and challenging when attempting 75 MPH in a Chevy Express campervan.

A story I heard was that they were really nervous about pulling off that shot where the car jumps over the camera. They weren’t certain it would work. The car might crash and there were only two running 300ZX’s in existence at that time.

Newman!

No no no, the second generation S-10/Blazer didn’t have droopy faces, they were mildly cranky faces, which eventually led to the current trend of extremely pissed-off faces on trucks and SUVs.

Shall we start a pool on whether Wrangler or Bronco will get portal hubs next, and which one will do it first?

Thanks to a lifetime of wearing conventional shoes, my toes were all packed together and callused. Then I took up hiking and discovered I needed shoes with a wide toe box to keep from crippling myself. I started wearing hiking shoes daily because my feet were so happy. And because I’m an old guy and fuck coolness. Now…

How about an aggressive forward lean and rear taper look from the ‘50s and ‘60s?

Okay, closed loops in a recessed channel. They could even fold flat.

The other day my brain was miles away and I made an illegal left turn, over a median strip, right in front of a cop. He pulled me over, of course. I deserved it. But, since I’m…

“...the woman in front of him had no right to control him and that the woman to his right did not deserve to be onstage with him.” Because his Bible told him so.

I thought the sails (or whatever you call them) looked fine. What bugged the hell out of me was the way the tailgate and corners of the box were different heights. Why?

The kit is for front engine/rear drive, so...

Some of them that work forces are the same that burn crosses.

Why would so many people buy this instead of a Kia? Firstly, most people don’t compare their choices to the degree we do. Secondly, I’m guessing there are more Chevy dealers than Kia dealers. Thirdly, most buyers would think they’re buying American. Fourthly, when Dad bought himself a fully optioned Silverado, the…

It’s angry about the grille.

I want to see it go up against the Crown Vic that terrorizes Moab.

Around here, the hunters would scoff, “How the hell am I supposed to get an elk home on a bicycle?”

Did a similar route on motorcycle, back in the 80s. When I picked up my rental bike at the shop in London, the guy asked where I was heading. “Lands End to John o’ Groats,” I said. He replied, “And what will you do the rest of the day?”
