In honor of this COTD, here is Men Without Hats:

Not everyone who logs miles in an airplane is a billionaire jet-setter. A fair number of frequent fliers (myself included) are having their travel paid for by their employer. Increasing the cost of those flights isn’t going to reduce the amount that I travel, it’ll just increase the amount my company pays for that…

why? that’s a terrible substitution. 

People move into a neighborhood next to a racetrack and then demand that its to loud they need to move the track. Ah that California.

You get the EV races.  California hates cars.  F1 is definitely too loud.  Although I would kick a puppy to see F1 at Laguna Seca

That black one...

I’ve mentioned this to David with every rust heap he buys. There are hundreds of ZJ’s that’ll take the body harness, engine harness, pedal box, and driveline from the rust bucket. All of these are selling for basically scrap value, just sitting around here in the south, rust free.

You see lapel pin.

Tranny swap into a better ZJ, and keep the cowl tag from the original as a souvenir/documentation.

It had a pretty significant and well-studied impact on the market, but more on the low end. Prior to the program you could get a running and driving vehicle in decent shape for $1-3k pretty easily. A ton of those went away and the bottom end of the market sort of disappeared and has yet to fully recover to where it…

We have 2 SUV’s and we’re not depressed in the least

It's an arms race. Proper SUV or truck can also easily absorb poorly maintained roads. Pothole that could damage a Honda Civic rim has no effect on Suv/truck 17" rim with decent rubber sidewall. 

Yah, but with things like digital dynamic valve actuators, cylinder deactivation, turbos, and hybrid systems, It’s hard to believe they can’t make a V12 meet emissions requirements.

Has Ballaban finished that paperwork yet?

It’s perfectly fair to have mixed feelings about the Cannonball Run, to say the least. Some see it as a crucial part of American car culture, a rebellion against traffic laws. Others see it as a pointless and dangerous provocation. In truth, it’s all of those things and more, and I’m eager to see the full picture…

I totally get the emissions concerns as they relate to everyday, large-scale things like our cars, factories, power generation, etc.

A while ago, I watched the movie Geostorm and was very disappointed to find that the main character did not drive a Geo Storm. In fact, not a single character in the movie drove a Geo of any sort. I didn’t even see any in the background. This makes me sad.

A car sitting in a garage makes 0 horsepower.

Hello Oversteer, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Of a HellKitty quickly fleeing
And the excrement that left a stain
Still remains
Within the sound of superchargers

Okay here is how you do it. You ask permission, but you do it in such a way that telling you no is not possible.
