Any plan that includes Wes Siler writing about motorcycles is a win.

The suburban breweries are really good too! Two Brothers, Penrose, and (depending on how much you stretch the term "suburban Chicago" Three Floyd's!

I am so very glad that Hilux is sold, because otherwise I’d be currently explaining to my wife why I was already on my way to Virginia.

I really like ORD, actually. MDW, however, is both terrible to get to and terrible to get around. If it weren’t for Southwest Airlines I’d never fly out of there.

I'm almost terrified to look that hashtag up on Twitter.

I really want this to be as engaging to drive as a Mazda6. It looks pretty good, and I hope the design language carries over to the other cars in the future, but I don’t want to be bored behind the wheel.

I'm amused that he's wearing a helmet. As if that would help if anything went wrong.

I was embarrassingly defeated by the rental Passat, and actually had to consult the manual.

Same on the NB. Don't accidentally pop the trunk, that's the lever next to the fuel door lever.

I've got a video of me doing a burnout in one just like this. I think it had less than 1k on it at the time (2002). May not have been my car.

Glad to help!

I'm not sure if I'm more amused by his use of Phantom of the Opera, or the fact that I recognized it.

dat Thunderstroke.

Kudos to Bungie, as that is a very classy move.

Thanks for coming by! It doesn't look like you've slowed down much since your daughter was born, but how has she affected your lifestyle and how you look at things?

I'm not up on my GT-R buttons, but does he really flash the hazards after he almost wrecks that Renault?
