Its kinda staggering the difference winter tires make. This year in when we had our first snow in Pittsburgh I had not YET put on winter tires on my FR-S and I couldn’t make it up the (incredibly) gradual hill to the main road near where I live. Once they are on, I can go pretty much anywhere in PGH no matter the road…

Why is it that, generally speaking, when Americans hear of companies ripping people off in legal, but objectively morally reprehensible ways, we say “Oh well thats the market for you. Capitalism at work!”? But when workers decide to band together to get a pay raise we attack them for being money grubbing bastards who…

My sister-in-law (who is one of my favorite people in the world) feeds her kids this crap every. night. My nephews are awesome kids: well mannered, smart, fun, polite —so I don’t want to be the asshole criticizing her parenting but... they are 11 and almost 13 and I have NEVER seen her make them try (and eat) anything…

So did Fancy Kristen start as a cathartic thingfor you? Cause I gotta say, reading these is definitely one for me, keep em coming.

So I am a 29 year old man. I think I can confidently say: I probably shouldn’t be dating a 22 year old.

The Dollop. A bi-weekly American History podcast where one comedian tells a story from American History to his friend (also a comedian) who has no idea what the topic is going to be about.

No big deal. I dig they are making the attempt.

yeah not working for me yet either.

wait. so they want to eat swastikas?

It’s not the pronunciation that bothered me.

I read in my wife’s GTi’s owner’s manual that the dots between the visors are also an “electronic window”. According to the manual the glass has a fine metallic mesh sandwiched between the layers and that this mesh can interfere with RF signals like the ones used for toll transponders. It recommends you place those…

I think you nailed it in your parting line Mr. Felton. Get drunk-able, or non-get drunk-able is about all that really matters in my mind.

Holy shit that is awesome. Love it my friend!

They do something they call the “Derelict” series (I think thats what they call it). It is where they take a car thats worse for wear, but whose patina actually looks kinda good, and then they restore and improve on everything underneath. I am super disappointed they didn’t do it on this particular truck.

I have one word.
