It does indeed sound very official. It does also sound like exactly the sort of thing a wackdoodle trying to sound important would say, since the acronyms themselves aren’t hidden or particularly obscure. I’m kind of wondering why a special forces guy would supposedly end up in program management anyway, since that’s…

First off I am not under duress or hostile influence or control. My first car was a 2006 Black Ford Mustang V6 for verification.

Edd China is part of “a pair of budding wrenchers?”  Edd’s internationally known as the type of Mechanic who could tackle this without breaking a sweat.  If you haven’t already the first seasons of Wheeler Dealers where he handles the wrenches are worth the watch.

That entire wheel budget won’t pay for a single engine.

Many aftermarket wheels are often not lighter than stock wheels at all. HRE stands for Heavy, Rare, and Expensive, after all.

Jeremy Clarkson said it nicely: “Owning a TVR in the past was like owning a bear, great until it pulled your head off, which it would“

Let’s hope that it’s a continuing trend in 2025.

Wonder if Bradley, Mercedes or one of your readers would let you have a bike tasting?

I would love that! lol It has been done before in the UK:

By my count, the entire Jalop staff has 19 vehicles, not including vehicles owned by spouses. Wait a minute... Checks inventory...

Amber? One motorcycle can’t do it all. In fact, one motorcycle of the same type can’t do it all (sportbike, tourer, cruiser, etc.). This is my garage (not including a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Limited) in 2023:

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find it, maybe you can hire that van.

There is a segment of automotive enthusiasts that will utterly shit on anyone for lowering their vehicle even a tiny bit, but there is nothing wrong with a mild, reasonable drop, IMHO. I’ve owned my BRZ for over a decade now. It’s been lowered for 8 years. Even with a front lip, the lowered ride height here in Chicago…
