I’ve been regularly using “Skookum” as an adjective for several months now at work and elsewhere... been waiting for someone to notice.

Yeah... I was surprised to find I was also a “test town”... I’m in burbs north of Detroit, you?

This?

Indeed it is... this year Allan Mcnish sat at my table during dinner (I typically have passes to the Audi Turn One club), so I know what Bieber Fever must feel like, I nearly wet myself. Oh, and last year when NASCAR didn’t let John Hindhaugh do announcing for the race he did it at the Turn one club... and toward the…

Ugh, everyone always dresses up as a brown diesel wagon.. ALWAYS. COME ON PEOPLE BE ORIGINAL! Go as a Miata.

I attend the 12 hours of Sebring ever year (this was my 6th year), I always camp inside turn 6... I can afford an RV or hotel room at this point but we still tent camp. Why? Because waking up to the Corvettes warming up on track is bar none the best alarm clock in the world.

I love my Charger, it ticks all the boxes for my perfect all around car. Fast - with nearly 400hp it's certainly no slouch. AWD - great for pulling off the line at a rate that would startle many, and gets me through the Michigan winters with no trouble at all. Comfortable - I'm 6'2" and 220lbs, this car will easily…

Just heard he was released from the hospital. Should be announced on broadcast shortly (if it hasn't been already)

He made it all the way to 18 Mile and Ryan!?!? Damn! (for perspective that's easily a 20 min drive). Fun fact, that's only about 3 miles from my house (and where I'm writing this)... and two miles from where I grew up.

A schizophrenic coke head... pardon my french but holy shit that's a hell of a combo.

So I've pre-ordered a Charger Hellcat... it'll be the second largest purchase I've made in my life, the first being my house, and it's frighteningly close to that number. My point is not to brag, honestly I had a good year and I'm in a position to buy a car I otherwise would've had on a poster or as a desktop…

Agreed, I occasionally get to travel via business jet and they tend to have pretty subtle interiors. I think this one looks outdated because of the color choices and material used, the jets I've been on tended to use darker colors and be heavy on the leather (I have no idea what the couch is made out of...).

For the past few years I've been seriously considering doing an engine swap on my Camaro that would not only be awesome but also confuse and upset people... I was thinking twin turbo V12 Merc or something beastly from the Audi lineup but clearly I've just found my answer... Look at this picture and imagine it sounds…

I just recently used Uber Black SUV (Escalades, Suburbans, etc..) to take myself and some clients from LGA to Wall St. and back, it came out to about $100 each way... so 7x surge pricing seems to line up pretty well with that and honestly if $700 meant myself and my customers/co-workers make our flights then it's a…

I had a 9500ix, I've since upgraded to the Passport Max, both are fantastic RDs. Regarding the laser issue I purchased an Escort Live wire (allows you to bluetooth connect to your RD and get updates from other users) which I use in conjunction with Waze. I've had no issue with Johnny Law in any enviroment.

As someone who has flown over 1,000,000 miles (several years at over 200k a year) on commercial airplanes I can honestly say I have never heard of this.

From my perspective it's not even something to be mad about... there mirrors were about to touch, I'd much rather you fold mine in then damage it when they hit. I am surprised these cars aren't running the full across the windshield style mirrors. My friend runs a Miata in SCCA endurance races and uses one, not only…

Ugh I HATE spark plugs on the Ford 4.6 and 5.4 3v trucks (5.4 is the worst of the two). I worked in auto-repair for a few years (service manager) and when a customer would come in for spark plugs on those engines it was always with more caveats then you can count. At the very least it was going to have to soak in…

In a low or no traction scenario (stuck in snow... for example) you can pull your floor mats out and stick them under your tires to give the tires something to grip on, the rubberized mats work best but your basic carpet mat will work too, it may destroy them but it can get you out of a bind. It's basically a…

Absolutely. I own a 1969 Camaro RS/SS and it's a simple car but dammit if it doesn't get moody... but those days where she starts right up and is just pumpin along I find myself doing a similar dash board pat. The hard part is not getting angry on the bad days (I pay for no-charge specialist flat-bed service with my…
