I worked for the company that designed, fabricated, and installed the fabric canopy at SummerStage in Central Park. After it was up and running, the client decided they wanted baffles up in the trusses. The baffles were big sheets of foam in a fabric liner, maybe 3' x 6'. I had a few friends from school that worked…

My second car was an ‘84 4000 quattro, the slower, sedan-ier version. I loved that car to death and it was phenomenal in all the wrong conditions. Thank the good lord I knew next to nothing about cars then and didn’t have the resources to make it any faster. I didn’t know it at the time (again, second car) but it…

I’d have hated it less without the 9 year tease, but MAN is that ugly. Japanese styling has largely gone in a direction less palatable.

I’ve been on the two-door, long-bed bandwagon for the whole JT saga so far. I know it’s never going to happen, but a guy can dream, right? But looking at these pictures, I’m thinking this might do the trick anyway. The payload is acceptable, the rear fold down seats look awesome and the topless/doorless shots are…

I am forced to keep a pickup in my fleet for my job. I always hate driving the pickup, and I’ll do ridiculous things to make whatever I can fit in my 2 door wrangler. This ALMOST solves that problem. Something I could beat up, haul crap with and take the doors off?? Yes please. My only hangup is that ridiculous “bed”.…

I get irrationally upset with the terminology in skydiving articles. “Pull the cord”, “backpack”, “diver”, etc. They grate on the ears (eyes?). I try to be understanding, but every time someone says “chute” my stomach turns and my jaw clenches. I know there’s no reason for non-skydivers to know the terminology but an…

I’m in the same boat. I just had my first last week from a cousin from out of state. It’s worth finding a way to get them.

For reference

I did not notice this but now I chuckled as well, thanks. The forty thirdth!

Mechanix. The plain, boring original. They fit well, they put up with a season’s worth of abuse and you don’t have to feel bad if one day you unexpectedly have to bork them up enough to just toss them in the trash. The perfect mix of functional/robust/disposable.

Just here to say THAT’S MY BLIPSHIFT SHIRT IN THE FIRST PIC WOOOOOO!!!!

But that’s a Hiperfire competition trigger.. I really want to test drive one of those. It’s funny though, the longer I look at that rifle, the more I find myself cringing. 

I’ve bought something like 5 Subarus from the same dealer, some for my family and some for company vehicles. It just keeps getting better. The latest was a ‘19 Crosstrek about a month ago. We shopped half a dozen other dealers and vehicles and in the end got the best deal on the trade, the vehicle, and maintenance at…

I love this, thank you

I see a lot of homes for fires and floods and that kind of stuff. I’m so bored with the same tired mansion crap. Hooray, you’ve got a square mile of marble. Hooray, you’ve got the same old pair of curved staircases with the 2nd floor bridge. Let me guess, there’s a great room that’s 2.5 stories tall when you walk out…

I’ve found people sitting on my parked motorcycle and in my Jeep with the doors off. I don’t understand.

You are correct. I will accept my assigned Diablo GT. And the roads will be delightfully clear with most folks puzzling over that odd, skinny lever and the extra pedal.

I wave to off-roadey lookin XJs. Actually I’ll wave to anyone who looks like they want a wave. I wave to all the soccer moms in their white on white on white unlimiteds. I get waves more often than not. My favorite thing about the Jeep wave is when that sparking clean, never-seen-a-trail JKU rolls by and the driver…

I love my KO2s. Get KO2s.

Yep. I put one in my Wrangler because there was zero visibility behind the spare. Now I can look out the left mirror, right mirror, through the rearview at the sky, and then check the camera to see the child that is standing directly behind me..
