You should hear what my parents call me.

Grid children will be forced to run along side the cars for as long as the race lasts.

Why don’t they understand that everything we buy is for them, regardless of what it is? Whether it is to repair something that we broke because they made us drive their car, or something that will keep us occupied long enough to not break something else?

Amazons catalogging is shit - to make sure you get the right part, you need to research it elsewhere, then bring the part number and search that. If you use their vehicle selector, you stand a better than average chance of getting a wrong part for your car.

To even mention those terrible hack jobs RWB in the same breath as this or a Singer should be punishable by several years in solitary confinement.

Jeez, if only I’d read this 20 years ago before I attempted a frame-off resto of a ‘69 Stingray roadster. I might actually have finished the project. *le sigh*

My wife’s boyfriend has my parts packages delivered directly to my room above the garage.

I don’t get why anyone uses Rock Auto. Shipping is $20 and if you need two parts and they are at different warehouses they add another $20 on. I needed two headlights and a rear tail light (fronts were fogged up, rear was cracking after somebody hit it with a shopping cart). Rock Auto wanted to ship EACH ONE from a…

My wife was extremely disappointed when she opened up the very heavy package from Amazon that she was sure was a present for her...I mean the brake rotors were for her car so I think she should have been happier.

Or, stay with me on this one, the customer could have been up front about the situation and worked with the poor guy trying to make a living and feed himself. How hard would it have been to give a little detail... unless the customer was clueless to what he had. In that case, 1) he should have said that and 2)…

“I need an alternator... here’s the part number.”

“Rare” does not always translate to “valuable” or “desirable”.

If this was in the UK (where I live) it would be NP, however it is in the US and the thought of driving something as small as a Beat when every other vehicle on the road is an F150 (or similar) sounds positively terrifying at any price.

According to baseball-reference, Foltynewicz put up 1.3 WAR last season. The value of 1 win on the free market is roughly 11 million, so he’s actually being well underpaid and will continue to be until he hits free agency. Foltynewicz would be a perfectly fine back of the rotation guy on a number of teams.

A mid-front really is not the best possible. Mid engine is the best possible. That’s why a whole string of race cars from Porsche from the very first one, the 550, were mid engined. The 911 is rear engined to make it a 4 passenger car.

So 10-13 with an era of 4.29 is “ performing well”? If he continues to perform that well it’s a safe bet we won’t be seeing the Braves in the postseason very often for a while...

Let’s not pretend people buy Macans because of how sensible and practical they are. Those seven capital letters on the back mean something, and it’s not “a couple of crossovers and the coolest wagon in the world.”

Maybe it’s still rear-engined because Porsche knows the importance of having a brand identity.

You got to know when to holdynewicz them and when to Foltynewicz them.
