The weirdest problem with our 1995 Ranger is that despite there being a little something wrong with everything, it still runs great. 

Well done, sir. You can take the rest of the week off.

All that rust created crumple zones!

Good for you. I fully support this behavior. I used to have one of those Ampeg V2 heads. Ran my bass through it into a Kustom 3x15 cab. Sweet lord that thing was so fucking loud. At some point I added a Bassman 100 with the 4x12 angled cab. That was the rig of god. It just destroyed everything. I also ran guitars…

I shot the St Pete race this year with a Minolta from 1981.

For the record, if you want to see a Ford GT, just come to St Petersburg. We have at least three that get out in the world on the regular, especially the white Carbon Series one.

The 70-something guy who live around the corner from me (in St. Pete, FL) has a really sweet C7 Z06. I’ve only seen it uncovered and out of the garage TWICE in maybe two or so years. Until he and his friends are out flogging their precious front-engine Corvettes around to the point of actual NEEDING to buy a new car,…

Exactly the same thing, probably grey, too.

We got a rental Focus with one of these transmissions about a year ago. Didn’t get more than a mile or so before turning around and returning it. It was the most unsafe car I’ve ever driven. At one point it slipped in and out of gear and bucked so hard my wife and I though we got rear ended. The rental folks tried to…

Next week there’ll be an Omni on Bring A Trailer selling for $23,000.

They are lovely little cars. Someone had the gall to drive one on public roads in Florida(!) to a Cars & Coffee this past weekend. How dare they drive such a car! It should be stored in a climate-controlled blast-proof vault which the owner enters but once a year to gaze upon their beautiful machine.

The orange is very nice, but... the Nouvella Blue Pearl does it for me. Someone down the street from me has one in that blue and it’s really easy on the eyes. 

About a year and half ago, we had a car in the shop for an extended period and got an afflicted Focus as a rental. We drove it less than a mile before turning around and bringing it back. It was downright dangerous to drive. The first time is bucked when shifting was so violent I thought we got rear ended.

Is there a slight chance he did this on purpose to avoid the possibility of being blocked in by a car in the next pit box? Maybe? I want to believe. 

If it does happen in/near Miami or anywhere in Florida, be sure to come to Tampa, specifically Ybor City, to get your Cuban Sandwich. Said sandwich originated there. Getting one from anywhere is like getting a Philly Cheesesteak from North Korea. 

Been bearded since 2006. Never going back. But I’m not famous, so no one cares about my beard.

I never thought of exhausts as an anus, but I am most certainly an ass man.

He drove that Sauber well beyond what it should have been able to do. If you saw his season in GP2 (now F2), this pole isn’t a surprise. He was faster than Vettel in Australia but was ordered to stay behind. The kid will be a multi-time champion.

I remember reading that Brawn thought everyone else was sandbagging but everyone else was like all like “Um, no. We have no idea what is going here.”

If I recall, they also smoked everyone in pre-season testing.
