Max. Gonna go stockpile water for the Y2K conversion.

1990 still seems like only 20 years back. This century has been tough to get a handle on.  

Around 2017 or so, at a display for a Pagani Huayra, there was a guy who was providing security for the car who was offering (only) young women the opportunity to sit in “his car” and take selfies. The reason I was pretty sure he was only security was first, the “security” printed on the back of his t-shirt and then…

“Molest” as a verb outside of a sexual connotation is under-used and under-appreciated. Just saying. 

Call it a Slovenly Joseph, serve it with a fork and knife and charge $40 for it. TikTok-ers will “discover” it and it’ll be trending in a week.

February 1996, rented a convertible Corvette in Vegas and planned a round-trip drive to the Grand Canyon. Pre-GPS or anything like that so paper maps and fingers crossed. Never considered the weather in Vegas (around 70 degrees at the time) would be different from the Grand Canyon. As we got nearer to the Canyon, I…

Am I ever glad I don’t put this level of thought and analysis into my food and drink choices. What an unnecessarily complicated life.

That thing can’t be real.

Yup, stupid expensive. And walk past other restaurants in the area and you typically get an appealing and inviting aroma. Walk anywhere near wahlburgers and all you can smell is grease. On a hot day it’s almost enough to induce a gag reflex.

There’s a wahlburgers not far from my home. Been once, out of curiosity. Not going back.

Conversely, I complimented a guy with a genuine GT-R on his fancy-looking Sentra. I knew exactly what I was doing.

A 1956 Chevy Bel Air, bought new 2 years after he arrived in Canada. He eventually replaced it with a 1966 Pontiac Parisienne which was cool in its own right too.

I don’t know what Drew Peacock is and I implore you not to enlighten me. 

Why do people do this? Do they think they’re fooling anyone?

There have to be some sort of extenuating circumstances in this data and I tend to agree the recreation vs need to travel is probably a big factor. Even as a pedestrian, having the luxury of time and a nice neighborhood to pick your route is quite a different experience from negotiating traffic in congested districts…

I own my car purely for fun. And now I hate everyone; other drivers, other pedestrians, cyclists, scooter riders...

On the matter of different bastards, the Ferrari bastard will demand a self driving victory lap while they eat caviar and drink champagne from the driver’s seat. There will be self-driving Ferrari’s sooner rather than later.

1st Gear: Response from the late Marchionne in February 2017 about why Ferrari will never build an SUV: “So ... we have to be sufficiently disciplined not to bastardize the brand and take it to places that it’s never been, and where the DNA gets effectively obliterated by the technical requirements of the car.”

Unequivocally the modern era Challenger. Literally should have “America, Fuck Yeah!” emblazoned on the hood. Most faithful retro homage to the over-the-top horsepower wars of the 60's and early 70's. Still offering 800+ HP gasoline engines, like a finger in the eye to St Greta. If Abe Lincoln and George Washington…

As someone who has never lived anywhere near a desert I was always a little skeptical about desert heat actually being so brutal. Particularly because I generally enjoy hot summers, even humid days that climb well into the high 30's Celsius. But then a few years back I made a little road trip from Vegas while on…
