Things happen. GSAAuctions.gov has tons of trucks.

An extended cab small pickup truck. Why? Cheap to buy and cheap parts. Insurance will be low since it is not a 2 door car. You can haul toys in the back if you want to go to the lake or whatever. If/when you go to college you can haul all your gear down there with it as well. Most trucks have lots of communities…

I work next door to thn Porsch North America HQ and someone there has a Cayman in that blue. It is lovely and sounds amazing.

Well written and fair to both the passengers and the companies. The quote above rings true for me. My time has value to me. Time with the family, not being stressed. Performance of the airlines is important. What most folks don’t know, or care about, is that the DOT captures and publishes metrics every month about…

Caddy was in P and GTLM or GTD. He was just siting the cars that looked like the production models.

Totally.

Yeah. That is something frequently missed in discussions on the morality of weapons use. I think he illustrated that well. Basically, everyone with a family in the Pacific theater would have been at the steps of the White House with pitchforks if they knew we had a war ending weapon and didn’t use it.

The Hardcore History podcast came out with a 5hr episode last night talking about the development and use of the bomb. I’m only an hour into it, but the quality is very high and worth a listen. Really, all their stuff has been good up to this point.

It is a cool spot to visit for a car nut. They even had a couple of limos you could crawl around in and a nice little motor racing shop that had some F1 stuff at reasonable prices. I was bummed to find the Hello Kitty shop in the attached mall had moved out. Getting souvenirs for my daughter was a great excuse to…

We are going to Race of Champions. Flying down from Atlanta. Look for pics on Oppo.

I have pondered that as well

How ragged out was your donor car? I’ve been keeping an eye out for lightly wrecked cars.

I talked with Exomotive about an LS swap at Petit Le Mans this year. They were all like, Yep, you can do that.” I have an LS2 in the garage and Exomotive is based about 10 minutes from work.

Its fun because of...

That’s awesome that you guys got proper recognition. Getting stopped safely takes precedence over getting stopped pretty.

Yeah, I just wanted to share the vid so those who wanted to see could see. Carbon brakes are really impressive. They also fail in really impressive ways. Little, tiny bits I see all you get.

Here is a relevant video that shows how aircraft are tested for this. Some related notes, wheels have fuse plugs that are designed to melt at high temps to prevent the tire from bursting. Still things happen so that is why you stay away from the wheels in that situation until the cool. Part of certification is the…

A sad end for a name plate that has been around since 1973. The old ones are pretty awesome in that early 70s Japanese sort of way.

Drove around southern Iceland in 2005. Spent a good amount of time on gravel roads. The minivan shown above was our ride. Good times. Amazing place to see.
