Anyone else notice the spine compressing 4 point harness bolted to the floor in the blue 911?

This article sounds just like every other person I know who feebly came into work on Monday morning rationalizing why they puss’d out and bought an automatic instead of a manual. Might fool the non-drivers out there, but the rest of us know the real reason.

Sounds like you should do what you want to do instead of what you think you’re supposed to do.

There’s two main benefits to knowing how to do stoppies:

Am I the only one who got the Mitch Hedberg reference?

The road to insanity is paved with nudity.

In reverse order:

The stellar qualities of the BRZ are exactly why the BRZ is such a disappointment. It has everything an enthusiast could want in a car EXCEPT power. Subaru is sitting on a car that could easily deliver M4 performance (we’re talking lap times, not 0-60 times) for half the price. Why they choose not to is a quite valid…

A friend of mine called me from a 5 star Yelp rated Mechanic shop in Berkeley. She’d taken her car in to get the oil changed and they came back with over $2k in repairs that needed to be done immediately. I told her to get the hell out of there. When she went to pick her car up the service manager told her her car was…

Ah, give the guy some credit. The challenges and difficulties inherent in riding (freezing, roasting, fatigue, uncertainty) are typically about as opposite to a vacation as you can get. As for affordability: anyone could do his trip on $30/day in the US. Less if you don’t mind eating out of cans.

That little pour ‘spout’ design is responsible for more spilled oil than the Exxon Valdez. It might look like it’ll help you cleanly transfer your used oil into a separate container, but half of it will end up on your garage floor no matter how careful you try to be.

Before and after, using age-enhancing technology.

Thank you, Doug, for writing one of the most hilarious reviews I’ve ever read.

The seal to the front master cylinder on my first bike disintegrated, spewing brake fluid all over the tank (and me). I was in a rather shitty area of SF (back when there used to be shitty areas of SF) and, needed a fix asap. I had no tools, but I did have two condoms on me. One went over the master cylinder, the…

1) Every sports car should have a manual.

Lanesplitting eases congestion quite a bit more if it's you who's on the bike, amigo!

It's been done. 29,000 miles across the US on a Panigale:

The plan was to wait out winter in a stormy cottage on the coast of Ireland while I finished a novel. Started out well, but a near-fatal infection convinced me to return home. How's it go? Oh yes:

Damn, my cover's been blown! I'd be riding through some W. European country now, but I'm instead (and quite literally) bleeding out of my face post-surgery here in the states. No better time than recovery to get my auto-and-oxy fix on!
