“YOU SILLY PERSON!”

Hillclimbs always have a great mix of cars. For example, some of the cars you’ll find at a Pennsylvania Hillclimb Association event (www.pahillclimb.org) that I find interesting:

When changing your oil, I find it particularly helpful to wear full white. That way none of it goes on the driveway.

Why do I get the feeling this is the owner of that poor Charger......

I came in here to talk about the one that runs at the PVGP. Those pics are way better than anything I’ve taken, but here is one of the two Abarths running side by side.

The Wrangler...Not all of us want a $45K Rubicon. I see a need for a return to a YJ sized bare bones Wrangler. Keep the JK size for the mall crawlers and let a small number of us get back to basics.

Outlaw Figure 8 cars. Because sideforce.

Focus

Looking at the number of people around and in the path, that driver is the dumbest guy out there.

That’s the exact face a friend of mine made when Inga, the Swedish stripper, came to my house. “She gonna use toys!!”

The answer is always...

my experience went as follows

Chevy Cavalier.

sliding without power =/= power sliding :)

If you think powersliding can happen with FWD, you’re maybe doing it wrong. Set up for static oversteer, trail brake tons, get your rohrl on, and then balance the exit with power, maybe, but powesliding? Good luck with that...

If his tire pressure was correct, that would be possible, but with off like that, there's no chance of saving it

Here's another shot of the owner opening up the hood from the opposite angle.

A niche nomination: The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. The only vintage race in the US run on public roads. And a GREAT event!

(QUICK PERSONAL NOTE! This is my 100th column since I was officially hired by Jalopnik back in February. Since it marks the end of the road with my Ferrari, I think it's a fitting milestone.
