While working at a website company, I came across a law firm named Porn & Hicks. I really wish they still existed so I could link to their site.

#8: Heel-toe.

Kinda unrelated, but...

My computer programmer’s binary brain is trying but failing to make sense of that progression. Must be some of the mechanicals under the sticks.

As a math nerd, who has many math nerd friends, I always smile when I see an Integra LS.

This is also an aggravation for football fans, as that is also the name of the team in Jacksonville, so I get it on multiple fronts.

The MN state fair has one of those blades mounted on the ground so you can walk up to it and with a family of four, almost give it a group hug. Seeing them on those trucks might actually give them a better sense of scale.

How is the crash safety rating? Don’t forget that what someone purchasing this whale may be buying is the privilege to be the comfortable survivors when they plow through your 2017 Civic with your five-year-old in the back.

Thank you for posting that song. It once lost my swim team audio system access for two weeks when we were preparing for a meet, that CD was in the shuffle in the radio. A bunch of the families were already there, and when that song came on, every one of us - male and female - stopped what we were doing, spontaneously,

Pretty sure that was actually Mario Kart, and Bowser was chasing Toad.

Dude. Can you even imagine of how technologically challenging it would be to get the cylinders to fire arrhytmically?

Don’t forget that A/C systems produce condensation and dry the air. That water would be reclaimed, obviously, so cars on Arrakis would be required to have their A/C running at all times.

MN driver here. They just need two signs. “Lane closed ahead. Use both lanes” and “Merge point”. Every time I have seen it, it has worked great. Sadly, they tend to only use it in higher traffic areas. Everywhere else it is a bunch of Minnesotans seeing who can be the most polite about merging immediately, then being

This video is incomplete without also taking both cars to a 1/4 mile. The sprinter is half the weight and twice the HP, but would it have a better quarter time?

I had so much fun in my Celica back in my college days. Did you know it could go 80 in 3rd gear? That was a terrible idea, but it was 2am and I was young and dumb. This was also the car with a hydraulic clutch that sprung a leak, which gradually failed on the way home from my second-shift job where I learned the hard

Where is the line where they stop being called snowmobiles, and start getting called snow machines? In the Twin Cities they’re called snowmobiles, but when we visit the Lake of the Woods area everyone calls them snow machines.

And then you hit the surprise open water and hope you make it across. Lake of the Woods is not a very... consistent lake.

That was the money shot I was waiting for - stop the Aston, pop the trunk, pull out an auger (is there one that would fit?), then drop a line in and catch a perch.

Brought my car in for an oil change, and since I bought the tires there, they rotate ‘em when they need it. I had a lug missing, but it wasn’t bugging me, so I wasn’t doing anything about it, but they were nice enough to put a fourth one on that wheel on that visit. When that one spit out its valve stem, I found out

You can’t go ice fishing in an Aston Martin on an ice field. You need a lake to take it ice fishing. The Aston needs to go ice fishing. Someone in Canada will show you what to do. I am certain that driving on a frozen lake voids neither your warranty nor your insurance policy.
