I grew up in a small town in Alabama (about 13k people), went to high school in Birmingham, Alabama, and traveled pretty extensively when I was younger. I grew up going to school and playing, and later working and living, side by side with people of various races and ethnicities.

I’m 36 years old now and, to this day,…

He/she real jealous.

You’re obviously just jealous, but I wasn’t even high on the scale of people that had nice shit there. One of my friends graduated high school and got in to SCAD. He dad was going to buy her an Aston Martin and she said “Daddy, if I go to school in a $180,000 car everyone will hate me.”

So he bought her a Jag XK, black…

St. Paddy’s Day Week is pretty epic. There was one bar owner on West Congress Street that didn’t want to deal with the drunken stupidity, so she’d shut her bar down to everyone but regulars and put out cots. If you were a regular, you could come in and nap off some of your drunk before going back out to party, all…

My major was computer art 3-d animation. When I went in for it, I could have graduated in the middle of my class and come out making 75k. by the time I graduated, the job market was saturated. Took my art degree, waited tables in fine dining restaurants while swilling fine wine, beer, and liquor, and eventually went…

I was there from fall of ‘99 until the summer of ‘04. I graduated the summer of ‘03, but stuck around to manage the store that I worked at. It was a glorious time to be alive!

We held street races over at the abandoned track on Hutchinson Island (for anyone that doesn’t know, it’s right across the river from the river…

I got lucky one drive back when a yellow Integra Type R (looked legit, was possibly a very well done clone) blew by me about half an hour outside of Savannah one time when I was driving home during the day. I sped up and paced him from about a mile back. He was doing around 105 for most of the way from Savannah to…

That would be him! We parted on not great terms because of some stuff he pulled with his fiance at the time, who was also a friend of mine, but I have some great memories of doing stupid shit with cars. I’m so glad my college experience happened when it did, before the days of widespread documentation of everything…

“I live in Warner Robins.”

My condolences. At least the drive to the coast isn’t too far, even if it is boring!

 

Yep, went to school at SCAD! I honestly can’t think of another reason to live in a city with that much poverty, violence, and racial division.

Fuck yes I did. When I graduated high school in ‘99 I got a 1995 3000GT, the naturally aspirated version, with a dark grey leather interior that was only available in the SL model (which mine wasn’t, but the previous owner had it installed) and Epic Impeller 16" chrome rims. I kept it shiny as fuck all day, every day.…

You’re a fucking idiot auto industry shill. Your dog would be more entertaining than you are.

I would explain the law to you, but I don’t think you’d understand anyway.

“Please, please do not publish pictures of possible future cars or designs that are clearly in a private facility.”

Fuck off. It’s a picture that’s already on the internet, widely distributed, and relevant to automotive news. 

Uh, land cruisers depreciate less quickly than the Lexus variant of them.

Better be willing to spend 30k to maintain it.

If the entertainment system in my truck didn’t work I’d be raging mad. Will the truck still dirve? Yeah. But, it’s not even 2 years old and I paid in excess of $50k for it, so it damn well better have all the doodads.

Commenting on your post because it appears gawker is hiding top level negative comments. Don’t buy Dyson. It’s overpriced, un-repairable, crap!

Jesus christ, for all the aggressive hawking of this stuff that you do, you’d think it wasn’t overpriced crap.

Dear Subaru,
