I’m not going to lie, Jalopnik membership not withstanding, I would rather an amateur auto shop than nosy religious zealot assholes any day. It really doesn’t matter what you are into, those are the kinds of people that make neighborhoods awful and negatively impact property values long-term.

So it’s sort of like stoppage time in soccer, I guess. Which, IMHO, is part of why a lot of Americans don’t like soccer because it feels a little “random” compared to our standards — football is extremely precise and timed; baseball is the polar opposite, but whatever; and basketball has game time plus a shot clock.…

Eh, wake me up when Old Lady’s House—from The Grand Tour—is for sale.
