The #56 787B used to spend a lot of time at Laguna Seca. I was fortunate enough to get to see/hear it running around the track on at least one occasion. If you think the noise is glorious on a video, I can tell you in person it’s even better.

It’s kind of astonishing he can be so funny and personable whereas his dad strikes me as such a giant ass, and seems to be angry all the time.

Will you leave it parked in my driveway and then tell Mercedes “the car was completely vaporized, there’s nothing left?”

I have a NB2 Miata and have driven a few S2000s. I love the S2000 it’s better than the Miata at 10/10ths, but anything other than full boil to me the Miata is a better car. Fun in a Miata is much more accessible to the average person. You don’t have to ring the Miata’s neck to have fun, but of you want to you can.

Here’s the problem I have with the penny test or the wear bars. These only indicate when you are legally mandated to replace your tires. The quarter test will help you know when your tires start to lose their ability to evacuate water. The quarter test can help you plan for when you need to get new tires.

That’s the county I live in! For those trying to figure out how to pronounce the county name it is Pla-cer not Place-r. I saw them post this on their IG yesterday and was surprised they found it cheaper to have in house fleet services perform the retrofit rather than buying it already done.

I want a wagon, but I also want a wagon with a base price below $30k. I’m tired of being told you can have a wagon but you have to spend $45-60k to get one. I want a Mazda6 Wagon or a real Legacy Wagon.

I think of my 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT spec.B often, and I frequently wonder why I sold it....

Just saw one sitting at the Porsche dealership and did a double take. It’s so pretty *swoons*

Almost 2 years ago now I sold my 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT spec.B after 4.5 years of ownership. I sold it because I thought I wanted to do more track days in my Miata and because I was scared of the Subaru problems resulting in a new engine. I haven’t changed the number of track days I do per year and now I drive a…

Damnit who’s cutting onions?

Yeah a little bit. Trying to find 5x114 wheels rated to carry the max GVWR, and not be super bro pokey was a bit of a challenge.

Just recently took it exploring in the snow.

I know the feeling well. My wife and I told our realtor our shopping list for our now current house was: 3 car garage, single story, and no HOA. While the search criteria limited the houses we did eventually find what we were looking for.

Nemesis was a great story ruined by a horrible, terrible director and editors. Simply restoring some of the story scenes cut (they are on the deleted scenes of the DVD/Blu-ray release) for some of the worthless action sequences gives you a significantly better movie

I’m going to buck the trend here and say I actually like the effect of having Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time. At the latitude I live at if we had PDT year round the sun would rise after 8am in the winter. If we stuck with PST the sun would rise around 430am in the summer. IMO both situations are just wrong.

Mechanics are the exception to the norm. Imagine working an office job where you have to provide the computer, the desk and everything you need to work. Then you’re responsible for the maintenance and upkeep on all those things. If you have an IT problem you have to resolve it with your own money, lamp burns out you…

You can’t compare someone working a standard minimum wage job and their expenses to an Uber or Lyft driver like that. More accurately you would have to compare it as if for example a minimum wage fast food chef was required to provide their own kitchen equipment and maintain it.

One of the things I think people just don’t realize is just how bad some of the later seasons of the Clarkson, Hammond, and May run was. At some point it shifted from a car show with antics sprinkled in to an antics show with cars. I stopped watching as it became clear to me they seemed to care less and less about the…

I’m not sure what you mean by back side. When I ran Thunderhill in that car there was only the East track. I’ve since ran my Miata on the West track.
