Not what they meant by Ogier being a snowplow. There was a dusting of snow on the road (less than an inch). Not enough to be fully plowable but enough to make things a bit slipperier for the first car on the road. As each car goes their tires act like a broom and sweep a clear line in the snow. The more cars go…

Remember back in the day when drivers would slow down on the final stage of the day so they weren’t first on the road the next day? Good times.

Only the final stage. It’s basically to make the end of the rally exciting by giving the drivers something to push for. It means there’s stakes even if the overall event results are pretty much a done deal by then

I’ve dealt with bodies up to 700, but never done the shoulder carry. You’ve got my sympathies on that one

There’s no rule specifically saying you need to have mufflers so they can’t directly fail you for that. The rule is only about how loud it is. Specific wording is no louder than stock, but typically you’ll get a pass if it’s not obnoxious. My Outback has a mild rumble via aftermarket axleback and I’ve never had a…

You say “blatant ripoff,” I say “tasteless homage”

You mean the old school shoulder carry? Eff that. How far was it?

Well done

If it helps I only put the straight pipes on for the rally because we’d score more points that way. I’d never daily something with straight pipes, and by the end of the week I was definitely ready to be in something quieter

For sale: the chance to truly live. Will consider trades. No loballers, I kno what I gots.

These things vary from funeral home to funeral home, but I can honestly say we’ve never charged extra for transporting flowers

It has a number of little cosmetic issues that would need to be repaired for it to return to fleet service that just aren’t worth the expense (not to us at least)

When Shuri healed Agent Ross’ back injury I immediately thought of War Machine

I doubt Chevy would ever get into rally, but Dodge might. They’ve had factory teams in the US before

Actually he’s Russian

Space X offered to do just that. The govt declined

For anyone who has ever wondered what it’s like to hang out with Raph and Mike it’s pretty much this all the time
