To be fair, that is how throttle levers operate on boats and planes.

On the one hand, I’ve recently learned that a VW out of warranty can be very frustrating.

This is true and one of the reasons I liked Rogue One so much is that they actually bothered to reproduce some of this aesthetic on the pilots, soldiers, commanders, etc., thus making it feel like a historical war film at the same time as being about lasers and starfighters.

I was car shopping last month and a local dealer offered to sell me a new Buick Regal TourX for $24k. I really liked the car. I feel kind of guilty for not buying it, but I really wasn’t quite in “new car” financial territory.

Should’ve said “first gear is optional”

I suppose it’s most helpful for you if I include the complete piece in the pitch?

How timely does it need to be? Like say I went to the Isle of Man TT two years ago for 9 days with photo creds, would you take a story about the experience that wasn’t just recapping the event?

“Driving With The Interior Dome Light On”

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was “genre”?

Where does one go to watch Dakar coverage these days?

So “AI” just means “simple image processing” now?

I have a pair of “TacGlasses” and they’re actually pretty good, but yeah the branding is real dumb.

I think WWIII jokes started right after WWII finished.

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff #neverforget

The problem is F&F eventually became its own self-parody. It was itself aware of this, wore the badge with pride, and did it well, with 100-millioon-dollar budgets.

When the Versa first came out, it had the claim to “fame” of being the cheapest new car in the U.S., for $9990. My roommate in college bought one (with a stick shift), and while it wasn’t “nice,” it was “a car.” It wasn’t a deathtrap, it wasn’t horrible, it would get you here to there. It was fine!

Well it’s not that simple really. I’m working as an “independent contractor” right now, but I have to go to the same place during the same core hours as the full-time people.

This song came on my iPod the first time I drove the Nurburgring in my Lotus, and it was pretty epic.

This year is a little foggy for personal reasons, and hardly compares to the three years before, but my highlight is probably having photo credentials at the VIR IMSA race and getting my photos posted somewhere other than my Flickr stream. http://www.velocitymagazine.com.au/2019/11/20/weathertech-series-at-vir/
