20ish something years back. Early to mid 60's Willys truck with a 327 and a three speed straight shift, mechanically sound, but I figured it was priced wrong at $1500 because it had surface rust in the bed and I had no clue what I was doing. Walked away, regretted ever since. Bought a ‘72 CJ-5 instead that completely…

I’ve maintained for years that any customer power unit sold by Ferrari should be branded a Maserati as this would keep the mystique of il Cavallo more “real” as it were. Plus this would push up a brand to the limelight for near enough zero money and bring back a storied marque to the racing fold, much less those days…

Not the same implementation, but the same end results of split rear hatch. Either way, sexy AF.

Absolutely, positively, completely under appreciated, if not underrated song. Same can said for the entire album.

Came here for Florida Man, leaving satisfied.

My partially formed and fully believed theory is that Loeb ruined the better part of the last decade in the WRC. Now please stop replacing my truth with your fact.

I watched a bit with Ott Tanak sometime in the past year or so and something about his drive reminded me a bit of young Mikko Hirvonen. I think it might of been Tanak’s willingness to push the car too far to try and make back time. Not a brilliant idea, but made for good footage.

Deadshot- “...some kind of suicide squad...”

I’m not denying the inherent speed advantage of clean, simply saying he was boring to watch. And given that his early career contemporaries were still very crossed-up it was a startling difference. Much like Schumacher could click out laps back to back within hundreths, but JPM would drive where his talent…

I’d blame Sebastian Loeb’s extremely clean (read: boring), multi championship winning driving style more for the lack of sideways. Granted it’s been ages since I truly paid attention to the WRC, mostly due to Loeb’s dominance, but once he grabbed the series by the throat and cleaned the lines I lost interest. Although…

I could swear Ford trotted something similar out for the auto show circuit when the Raptor launched. Off to the interwebs for searchabilities!

Might as well flay him with a whip, nail him to a cross, and pierce his side with a spear while you’re at it. I mean if you want to be offensive why stop short?
