From a tearjerker of a scene in Sons of Anarchy

All credit goes to my actual detailer, Johnathon, at Carolinas Finest Detailing. This photo was taken right after he installed my ceramic coating. Money well spent in my opinion, as it only takes a rinseless hand wash to restore this gloss.

Gloss for days

My dad is turning 70 this year, but he still hasn’t learned that hot food burns your mouth. I’ll sit there in amazement as food is set before him and say to myself “He’s going to eat that immediately.” Sure as shit, he shovels a steaming hot fork-load of food in his mouth. He’ll then proceed to do the same reaction…

I dated a chiropractor briefly. She would occasionally pick up shifts out of town, so she’d have a ~45-minute commute back home in the afternoon. She called me once on her ride home. The conversation lasted for about 5 minutes which consisted of awkward silence interrupted with her bitching at other drivers. We broke…

When I visit my parents, I’ll go to the YMCA to use their gym. Regardless of the time of day, the lobby is full of septuagenarians and octogenarians just sitting there talking. It’s become such a “thing” that the staff provides watered-down coffee in the lobby for them to consume as they sit there. I guess when you’re…

He’s said before that he wants his players to “play through” whatever that means. That timeout at the start of the second half was infuriating. You had the whole halftime to plan a strategy and you call a TO 90 seconds into the second half. If anything he should have called one in the first half when Auburn was…

Are youth sport coaches still allowed to bench or cut their players? I thought that was the go-to punishment for skipping practices.

A college buddy of mine told me about his law school roommate he had for one year. The guy would stack empty Diet Coke cans in his room, pyramid-style. Never threw any away - just stacked them. At one point I heard he had close to 100 cans in his room. I visited my buddy one time while his roommate was away on…

Amtrak makes the most sense for local and regional high-traffic trips. I have friends in Raleigh who will take the Amtrak to Charlotte for Panthers games. It’s a ~3 hour train ride versus ~ 2.5 hour car ride. As long as the Panthers are playing in the early slot (which they will be), there’s time to get to the game,…

Just think: if Donald Trump weren’t President, he could have been caught up in this.

Why are only the left side windows tinted?

A plain white car with a Supreme decal on it.  Boom.  Done.

Put a decal of those stupid clear-rimmed glasses on the windshield.

The sock tan is there too.

Maybe I’m an old fuddy-duddy at 34, but I don’t get the trend of wearing tall socks with shoes and shorts. Are you so scared that someone will think you’re not wearing socks that you’ll obviously wear mid-calf socks and take the dorky sock tan with it? You’re wearing shorts to show off and cool off your legs. Why…

I’d hire this guy in a heartbeat:

My 2015 S60 T6 RDesign

Volvo’s found itself in the same boat. T5 and T6 used to be assigned to turbocharged, gasoline 5- and 6-cylinder engines. Until the Drive-E engines went into production. Now:
