As a kid in 1981 (yeah...I’m old), I was riding my bicycle when a loud explosion shattered windows on the houses around me and rendered me deaf for a brief while. I rode toward the explosion on Sunshine (a major road of Springfield, MO). As I came upon the smoke, I noticed the large car wash had vanished and the

It’s a real crowd pleaser. 

2 words:  “Carbon Build-up”

California-based owners of Shelby GT350/R w/ OEM exhausts are posting on social media videos of exchanges w/ officers after being stopped, & photos of their exhaust traffic tickets tickets.

Glorious? Overstatement. I’m a big time Toyota fan boy (own 3 Toyota 4x4 off-road rigs) and a track rat. I’ve always wanted a Supra from the 1990s. This, however, is a bit of a let down.

DFW area dealers have these things listed for over $80k. Yikes! 

Women’s indoor soccer, especially the private select leagues where teams are made up of high school athletes hoping to get noticed for college scouts, is far more vicious than men’s indoor soccer, professional men’s hockey, and auto racing.

Yet not nearly as whiny as the majority of Jezebel content.

A definite no. Despite the Trump character flaws, annoying tweets, and a host of other issues, the guy has one solid thing over Bernie (and previous presidencies): a grasp on economic policy. This is kinda why I wanted Ross Perot to be prez back-in-the-day...he would’ve mirrored some of the actions Trump has taken to

As part of anger management therapy, I’m sure checking email is discouraged. 

I’m at a happy place with these two V8-equipped extra-curricular vehicles (DD is a boring Camry). Bought the 4R brand new in 2007 and it has spent much of its near 200,000 miles doing expeditions all over the U.S. and Canada. The other vehicle hasn’t even hit 2,000 miles on the odo yet, but it gives me thrills on the

Spare tire placement is bound to land the driver a ticket for rear view obstruction.

I’m on my 2nd Mustang of the 6th generation cycle. Both cars have sparked conversations with people (not just guys). Some of these folk I know (neighbors, co-workers, car enthusiasts, church friends), and some are complete strangers that approach me at gas stations and parking lots. The collective, highly

It was a great time to be 16 (1983 for me). Even if you couldn’t get a Camaro or a Mustang, you could settle for a used V8-equipped Monte Carlo, Maverick, etc.. with posi-track installed and some wide rear tires could move quickly. I was more into offroading, so I was content with my 1974 Dodge Power Wagon short-bed

He seriously said “excessive cooling”?? Glad I bought a 2018 GT350 because tracking here in Texas means I want excessive cooling.

“You don’t need a V8.” Wanted the V8 version of the SUV for it’s towing capacity for a travel trailer. Dealer didn’t have any V8 versions in stock, so the salesman simply said, “You don’t need a V8.” We walked out.

Not a fan of generalizing gun ownership into one category. I reside in a state that is pro-gun ownership, and in a large high-crime urban area where cops simply can’t be everywhere. In my vast circle of friends and co-workers, I can categorize them as such in order of largest percent (some people overlap multiple

Great pics. Those empty stands sadden me. Even when I’m there for the bigger races, attendance is always lacking.

I have a 4% checking account at my credit union. Their new auto loan rate was 1.74%. Of course I chose the financing option for my ‘15 Mustang GT. Will do the same on the next go-fast vehicle.

If Dillon had the faster car, he should’ve continued a bit more to the left and then passed Almirola. Notice Dillon did veer left before performing the tap, which was clearly intent to crash Almirola.
