What bonehead at the Ravens licensing department thought “hey, let’s license our logo to a potato chip company trying to directly compete with potato chips flavored with Old Bay”?

I have no doubt that every single bottle of Old Bay Hot Sauce will not end up far from the company’s Maryland headquarters

Hey, don’t rope Virginia into this. Old Bay is a time-honored way to make fun of Maryland when you’re from Virginia.

(Disclaimer: This is based on my experience with Virginia state inspections, and I’ll admit if you fail a tailpipe emissions test in places where required, you might need the fuel injectors and throttle body cleaned to pass that test.)

I’m pretty sure every pickup larger than a Ranger would look absolutely ridiculous on 15's, and the hauling/towing capabilities would be reduced to almost nothing.

As an amateur radio licensee, I never really noticed the beeps. (Well, I did, but I didn’t comprehend they were happening). This is because the repeaters used by amateur radio operators will have some string of tones following a transmission to let you know the operator using the repeater has ended their transmission…

I’m not saying this is a really extreme on the skill-o-meter because holy shit I wouldn’t attempt something like this without a friend who is a welder and a friend who can stitch upholstery. But, I would like to point out adding a rear seat to a car that was never designed for a rear seat and is already lacking modern…

Oh yeah. These guys are fired. Even if this was a publicity stunt (which makes no sense because engineers personally putting their own freedom and driving record on the line doesn’t sound like a marketing tactic), it doesn’t sound like something GM wants to be known for endorsing, so if, and that’s a big if, it is a…

I’d like to add there’s also a lot of unintentional releases since the condenser is usually located ahead of everything metal on your car (with the exception of bumper supports), so even a low speed rear end collision will crack the condenser and release the refrigerant within.

Also, if you ever have $611 burning a hole in your packet, check out the North Carolina transportation museum’s “at the throttle” events. They tend to consistently have N&W J611 there in November that you can drive. Fair warning, they announce it pretty close to the weekend it will be there, tickets go on sale…

It’s a shame Deadspin has been gutted, this has so many application beyond NASCAR. NFL, NBA, MLB, Little League, NCA... oh wait, can’t drink alcohol at a college sporting event. Wait, you can? Huh, I guess Budweiser finally paid the NCAA enough money to allow it.

If you get the day off for snow, or can walk to work, my best advice is clean the bulk of the snow off before you leave for the day. Once the sun comes out and warms up you car naturally, the light dusting left will begin to melt away.

Where I used to live, there is a mountain pass that an interstate goes through, as well as the old US highway the interstate superseded. It’s not unusual, especially in winter/early spring/late fall to have thick, pea-soup fog at the top of the pass. Therefore, the highway department has installed large digital signs…

Here is the intersection where the diver took a very wrong turn

Most western nations: “A boat is out of control and headed for the river bank, evacuate the waterfront!”

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

Yeah, there’s no way an “air bubble” is going to stop any rock larger than pea gravel. I can see why they recommend the helmet above 70, because they will become lethal at that point. But even just going 45, you’re going to be rolling up to the hospital instead of the club.

Sad to hear. This guy’s name is synonymous with safety gear for racing. Oddly enough, I hadn’t heard his backstory, so that’s interesting. Reminds me a lot of Don Garlits (drag racer). After a clutch exploded and nearly amputated his feet, he helped invent the rear engine dragster, which places all the dangerous spinni…
