When we bought our Odyssey last fall we had to special order it to get blue. The dealer guy was like, “you don’t want silver, black or champagne? Everyone wants those colors.” Yeah, not us dude. I don’t understand the fear of color.

Hi, rare, 43 year old, 2003 Evo VIII owner here. Had it since new. Never thrashed and unmodified. Not every AWD turbo car was owned by a 23 year old who was more interested in boooooossst and a Type R sticker. Strangely when I see a an Evo VIII or IX on the road today they are typically driven by older folks and look…

I suppose I will be the one post a link to Dinner with Racers featuring Tucker. You can hear his perspective straight from his own mouth. It doesn’t stray too far from the quote in the story.

How about the destruction and rebuilding of a major interstate in Atlanta?

Also a reminder of why the older, longer rallys out in the wilds were so cool. Things like this and Safari complimented tighter courses like Monaco and Spain. Maintenance was done where and when they could. So cool.

And this guy as well.

This guy seemed pretty happy with his education.

Car guys/gals make great engineers. I hire a lot of engineers and it has become something that I look for because it has paid off.

Nope. This makes him one of us to the highest level. Purdue grad, works on cars and flies spaceships. Everyone should aspire to this level of awesome.

This is my daughters jam right now. Every day.

That could be.

She won the mostly white DeKalb County 51 percent to 49 percent, and Reed won the larger, mostly black Fulton County 51 percent to 49 percent.

I bough a car from Flavien. He makes it pretty easy to import one into the States.

Nice piece. I was looking for one just like it for a classic Mini last night. This type of thing is really useful for new owners.

From what I understand, Porsche and a lot of other high priced brands, function through direct purchase in large parts of the world. Cars are built to order and delivered.

Ha! Yeah I messed that up.

Ok, how many days/minutes after delivery and how many miles/feet (km/meters for the Canadians) before the first car bites it? First Cars and Coffee city to wreck one?

It is time for Sebastian Bach to shine on the WRC stage. We will save Sebastian Stan for the next reincarnation.

1955 Chevy one ton flatbed when I was 9 or 10. This is not the actual truck, but you get the idea. We had a farm for a short while and I drove while my dad loaded hay bales in the field. It had a granny gear, so it was easy enough to get going. The lack of power steering was challenging when I was little.

The 2005 Mini Cooper S has a harmonic balancer that attaches to the crack shaft and acts as your accessory drive pully. It is a metallic ring press fit to the crank, with a rubber donut that attaches to the crunchy outer metal shell.
