For me Pizza is the one food, either restaurant or to a lesser extent the frozen, where I have some sort of loyalty. I don’t think I’d call it brand loyalty though. I prefer to think of it as taste loyalty. Some places just make a pizza more to my liking and a coupon or deal isn’t going to make me eat from a place I…

There was a dedicated Nutella Cafe inside a grocery store around my place some years ago. For a while people lined up outside to get a sandwich or tea or coffee or whatever they were making with Nutella but it’s been gone for a while now. Since before covid so that wasn’t it. I guess maybe that was representative of…

I seem to be the only person who thinks Nutella tastes awful. Just can’t eat the stuff. 

Um, looks like a strip club.

Okay. Needs some window stickers so it goes faster.

Gotta love those aftermarket cold air intakes set right overtop of the exhaust manifold to suck in all the sweet, sweet cold air. Definitely better than stock engineering.

Sounds like they need to do Waymo work on their autonomous driving tech. 

If anyone does happen to see the ink, you can just say “I have assburgers and I’d rather not talk about it”.

So basically Nascar crashes into Formula 1.

The National Coach Museum in Lisbon ranks as one of my favourite museums.

Very important that it has underglow. Because a car this subtle needs it and if there is automotive trend that will never go out of style, that’s the one. And what is a new engine without a cold air intake to suck hot air out of the tiny engine bay? No self respecting cars and coffee enthusiast would be caught with a…

Since we’re sticking to the romanticized, fictional and highly made-up realm then I need a Hellcat Charger. Four doors for my crew. A large trunk for my “equipment” and later my haul, since the motto should be go big or go home. This’ll be fast enough when I find open road and it’s got some bulk in case I need to…

“…to say it is PUFFY is under shooting it’s current destination!” I have no idea if this is good or bad.

I can deal with the huge tablet at the center console but I absolutely hate the design aesthetic of a big phone plunked in landscape mode behind the steering wheel instead of an actual integrated dash panel. This looks cheap and lazy to me.

I know we’re supposed to automatically dismiss someone else’s build but honestly...I don’t hate it. I mean, I hate the replacement steering wheel. But the seats look right for the car. The engine bay is clean and the mods overall seem like the right choices. The stereo is still factory (remarkable!) and there’s no…

1^st gear: The average negative equity value for trade-ins over the first quarter of this year went up 29% from the prior year. And a dealer survey shows that now roughly 50% of people coming in to buy a new car with a trade-in still have some level of negative equity from their existing loan. So the thing about…

I’ll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missouri.

Having graduated to driving age in the 80’s I’m still all about the Pro Street style. Giant hood scoops or better yet, a 6-71 Weiand blower through the hood. Drag tires with wheelie bars, maybe a four or six point cage. Basically the more impractical for day to day use, the better.

I suspect one way or another, the pricing will be high. Even though the activation of these features is done OTA, the hardware and components have to be built into every car for the updates to function. That means that unlike today where each car can have different physical components based on option selection, and be…

In the case of groceries, I sure hope that BNPL is being used predominantly by people to access promotions of some sort. Because if more people are being forced to use BNPL just to put food on the table, that’s a terrible leading economic indicator.
