Hey Stef, Welcome back!

Hey Stef, Welcome back!

Good to see your byline back!

Good to see your byline back!

If we were, we’d be licking yours.

I don’t want to take away from this very good comment and also Juffali’s accomplishments, but she did learn to drive in America while she went to Northeastern University in 2010. She graduated and came back to Saudi Arabia, where she couldn’t legally drive until recently.

Because the feeling of driving a motorcycle is just unique. The “no protection” is one. You are much more alert (for your safety), adrenaline is pumping and you feel everything on a motorcycle (even on a big one), road, grip, temp....etc. The feeling of making one with a motorcycle is particular, especially but not…

I have a Goldwing (GL1000) and an Alfa Spider, they are both fun, but they are very different experiences. I would say you would probably get a more similar experience between a Mazda Miata and a Mazda CX-5 with the windows rolled down than you would between a Miata and any motorcycle.

yeah being worth 10 million dollars (at 42) is the same as being worth BILLIONS. your whataboutism sucks.

One of these days I’m getting me a ‘Wing and disappearing for a couple weeks as I explore back roads and small, out-of-the-way towns.  Hopefully I don’t have to wait until I’m in my 60's or 70's.

John Oliver has $ of course. Celebrity wealth and billionaire CEO wealth is very different though. With a few exceptions, but most celebrities are not worth billions. 

I’m pretty sure Tommy Callahan did the best explanation of cheap vs expensive brake pads ever

Weight transfer... as if 99.9% of drivers would have any capability of managing weight transfer. Anyway, all of this is countered by one simple thing. Nobody is going to have their left foot constantly hovering over the brake pedal but not touching it. Even a gentle touch of the brake pedal on most cars activates the…

My issue is that the only time I ever notice a left-foot braker is because they have their brake lights on while accelerating away from a light. This has soured me to the idea of left-foot braking on the street, as my only encounters with it are from idiots who can’t take their foot off of the brake. In these…

When trying to get faster for autocross I tried to teach myself how to left foot brake. Found out that my left leg has so much muscle memory from the clutch essentially being binary that I was completely unable to modulate the brake. Took me quite a while to relearn my leg and make it work.

Have you met our President?

I never cease to be amazed how a guy with that much money can be so thin-skinned.

Back when people read newspapers, people were advised not to pick fights with anyone who bought ink by the ton. The 21st Century corollary is: don’t pick a fight with a smart-assed satiric comic with access to AT&T’s corporate legal department (and budget) and a ready supply of Broadway dancers, musicians, camera…

See HBO, you can end a story properly. :D
