How the fuck did a Bay Area team end up in Cleveland?

Uggghhh...John Phillips was the fourth guy on my list. Brock was a cantankerous old man, but I always got the feeling that he at least was fun in a ‘70s, old school kind of way (that I actually hate in a Gene vs Phineas kind of way). Phillips? He sprung to mind when I read about the private jet-steak guy. That’s…

Beat me to it, except I was going to go with Brock Yates. Then David E. And then, rethought it and wanted to go with John Pearley Huffman.

But my favorite feature is the new 6’s cooled seats which, as Mazda’s staff explained, work by “sucking” instead of “blowing.”

Counterpoint*:

I know he doesn’t talk about Korver’s defense, but that Korver-Love piece was really good. Kyle’s out there playing bumper cars.

If you make a mistake and need someone’s help, don’t make it a hassle for them.

Doesnt matter, Blazing Saddles is always relevant.

Yep, this is good intra-service shit talking.

...fire at the shop turn a lot of the in-limbo product into carbonizzato crackers.

Nope, so don’t push play.

CUVs really do ruin everything.

This is my favorite aspect of the America’s Cup. The winner gets to dictate the design of the next race. That’s absolutely bonkers. “Hmmm...this year...naturally aspirated homologated V4s with a single fan to increase downforce. And six wheels.”

This probably takes place in the infomercial-verse.

You know how sometimes you look at a recently renovated kitchen (or bath for that matter) and its got granite counter tops, and everything looks nice, but you can’t shake the feeling that something’s off? You couldn’t point at one thing and just “Yeah, that’s not right.” I haven’t seen too many kitchen renovations,…

On a previous car a plastic clip broke for the locking mechanism. I tried to fix it myself, got the the door panel off, but realized that I was in over my head and gave up. Sold it not too long after that, too.

This is the correct answer.

I had a friend in high school who went to an all boys private school. His mom, God bless her, would measure expensive things by how much tuition it cost. For instance, I hadn’t been to their house in a while since I was away at college and they renovated the kitchen. I told her that it looked really nice and her…

No, I don’t think so, but I also think there’s no such thing as a “bad car guy.” Further, I feel like this is the common position amongst the tifosi and regular car people alike. The F50 was the much maligned follow up to what is considered by some to be the greatest Ferrari of all-time: the F40.

Yep, a plastic retainer clip broke inside the driver’s side door of my Subaru. Luckily, only the outside handle wouldn’t work anymore, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to go in there and fix it. That was $200 well spent to have someone else fix it.
