This kind of stuff is why I love this blog. Your enthusiasm for every corner of this hobby (sport/lifestyle/passion?) is infectious and fun to read. So many writers are jaded and tired and it shows in their product. You took something really weird and out of place and made it entertaining without blowing smoke up the…

Yep. Also this.

Is it a Fiat Dino? A Maserati? An Iso? AC? Ferrari? DeTomaso?

To convince ourselves that a $500 Alfa Romeo Spider on Craigslist is not only a fantastic idea, but a necessary one.

I was too late to say it in the Awesomeness Manifesto, so I’m saying it now.

Okay Garageniks, how do I start? I missed the formative part of my life where most acquire the garage skills. I did just get a Crown Vic and changed an ignition coil, so I can confirm an ability to follow directions.

I salute you, from underneath my Camaro trying to get these damn exhaust manifold bolts loose!

Don’t they have things called jtacs already?

Already used. JTAC or Joint Tactical Air Controler.

Damn. If they would be willing to talk about it, I'm at diana@deadspin.com.

I went to this school. I knew 2 women who were date raped and when they went to the head of the department I studied in the head told them not to tell anyone. It's a prevalent attitude on campus.

No, but we used one of them to pull my airplane out of a hole in the runway. Damn thing didn’t even notice the weight. The other three had CROWS and were providing security.

It’s an almost perfect shrinking of the formidable M-ATV, which was designed by Oshkosh to cope with he rough surface conditions of Afghanistan.

I’m in the same boat. I have been cheated on. I have been the other woman (did not know he was married) but I have never cheated. Because you don’t do that to someone else. I hate the story about how an affair made he relationship better. No. It made your life better but the relationship now has this gap where instead…

I didn’t like any of this. As someone who has been cheated on multiple times, this made me queasy. I didn't like his answers or candor about it. No I will not "find myself in this situation someday", if I am with someone and want to be with someone else, I'll end my current relationship first cuz I'm not a fuckhead.

i’m dead. i died. can’t. even. literally.

Dude, you’re leaving out the meaty bits. Off the top of my head and w/o even Goolging the story I distinctly recall the coach being implicit in the cover up of the murder. He also pulled some batshit crazy stunts to hide the fact that he was paying for the murdered player’s scholarship out of his own pocket. Spread…

On it’s own, this is pretty terrible and I’m not trying to make light of the situation, but this is 10 years after the basketball program imploded around a member of the team murdering another. Forget about a compliance office and NCAA regs. It sounds like Baylor needs to do a little educatin’ around not violently…
