I put a bit over 1000 miles on per year. I don’t tend to drive much to start since I don’t have a commute, plus I usually have a toddler in tow. Sometimes she rides in my Vette, but I have to keep the roof on lest someone steal her nice Recaro car seat and there’s the whole getting dirty looks from soccer moms for…

It’s not like I can just pick them up at Napa, I have to order them which means getting around to remembering to order them and when you run a herd, and particularly have dry road only cars where you never have to think about it, that doesn’t happen to often

Basically a wide turn. For instance going slightly left before making a right turn

I have a knockoff Keurig made by Hamilton-Beach which uses nonexistent also-ran “senseo” pods. In order to make coffee, I fill a pint glass (a simple coffee mug is not nearly enough for me) and dump it in the tank. I then take an old school paper jr basket filter and fill it with an acceptable amount of grounds in the…

I was about to protest the members only jacket ownership, then I remembered I actually do own one I inherited from my dad. Damn.

For me at least, my Vette is “more than a car” because she is my mechanical soul mate. She was a full blown case of “if you love something, set it free” and she came back when I did that. Sometimes the universe just wants you to have one very specific car. For most Corvette owners, this definitely is not the case. I…

It already exists, it’s called a 500 Abarth

We exist, we just tend to get more tan than normal goths cause we spend half the summer on paved surfaces

9pm, being picked up in my mom’s 1997 Corolla CE. Automatic, of course. Tired from winter guard practice and not expecting it in the slightest, she jumped out of the car and into the passenger seat as I walked up and told me to drive home. I was soon to start drivers ed, but had no permit as of then. I made it out of…

Bless him, but could we just get a regular racing driver to throw down times and decent opinions without being a stupid stereotype?

Oof, the feels. I too lost my dad at a young age (illness rather than military) and find a connection in cars. It’s so awesome that this kid gets to have his dad’s Celica, and he’s lucky that so many people cared so much to make it work out! One day I’d love to have a 914 like my dad did though it’s impossible to…

I keep extinguishers in mine, though in ass-backward form. The four year old, perfectly acceptable, easy peasy Fiat gets the good extinguisher cause it’s required for hillclimb. The 35 year old Corvette which in all likelihood would much sooner catch fire than the Fiat gets the cheapie little extinguisher. I’m glad to…

I have to admit, if I wasn’t currently balls deep in another 80's wedge, I just might drop 3 grand on this thing. However, it looks like it definitely could use some work. Kinda wish this had come up in May, that internal roll cage would have made it a solid candidate for the hillclimb car I was shopping for.

I believe the Bricklin has a windshield you can kick out like a school bus window, part of the “safety vehicle” thing. Not sure though, just feel like I read that at some point

This Twitter account makes me unusually thankful to be an owner of internal genetalia.

Be still my beating heart, you had me at built in a Chelyabinsk tractor factory in the 50's! As a conissure of the finest Soviet cars, I am so down with this

Rule #10 got me tires last season. Then I crashed. Then I felt super guilty for being a waste of money. Then I slapped those wheels straight onto the new car and still felt guilty even though I was still doing what I was supposed to do.

I was on our regions scheduling comittee for last season and I have to admit I was secretly disappointed that our season ender wasn’t closer to halloween cause yeah, I totally would have hijacked that shit and turned it into a themed event. Don’t ever let the resident racecar goth plan shit around halloween, the…

Not crazy at all, they look excellent and have aged pretty nicely. Plus they’re awesome to drive. Totally happy to just cruise, but if you put your foot down it will instantly remember it’s secretly a Corvette.

I volunteer as tribute!
