I’m liking this trend for liftbacks instead of trunks. Now it just needs to trickle back down to the likes of the GT86 and Mustang.

This is why I still drive a Hyundai Accent. 10/10ths all the time.

I think Sagan is way more popular than Froome on his best day. Sagan’s expulsion from this year’s tour was just insane, both from a fairness perspective and from a sport marketing perspective.

I created a hierarchy totem pole for NASCAR to call cautions based on yesterday's race:
