Adults need seats. My butt hurts and my back gets sore when I ride in the back of a pickup, but kids are indestructible and can bounce around there with no issues at all.

Those things are so awesome. I still remember how excited I was the first time I rode in a first gen 4Runner.

1st Gear: If Americans are allowed to purchase motorcycles and ride them on the streets why can’t Americans choose to purchase a car without airbags? An airbagless car is still safer than a motorcycle, right?

I’m one of the world’s worst procrastinators, but I do my taxes as soon as I get the paperwork. With all of the tax preparation websites out there doing your taxes is pretty simple—I just did mine after I got home from work today and my Federal and State returns took me well under an hour to get done.

I’ve got a 2008 Kia Rio5 that just went over 50,000 miles but I missed it and didn’t get a picture. The last good mileage picture that I’ve got is from 2014 when I hit 44,444:

I don’t know what a fart bottle is, but when Beasley was at K-State his teammate Bill Walker peed in a bottle while in an on-court huddle during a timeout.

Thank you for doing these Motorsports Roundups. You post a lot of great stuff and some good stuff pops up in the comments more often than not.

Thank you! It seems like every week when I read these Motorsports Roundups I wish that I had MavTV so that I could watch WRC races, so now it looks like I will (it’s $60 for 12 months, for anyone who’s wondering). Thanks again!

They’re also great for point-and-shoot cameras or other small electronics. I use one in my taping bag for my extra audio recorder.

I usually hate videos, but these are great! And I can’t believe that nobody’s posted any Jim Gaffigan jokes yet! He’s got a great bit on seafood:

I’m totally in the “too embarrassed to ask” boat, and with seafood it’s even worse since you’re already wearing a bib, so it’s like you’re a baby who has to ask someone to help them eat. It’s good to know that it’s not just me. :)

You should to on a recon mission for Jalopnik to see what’s wrong with this car. If it didn’t sell for $4k there’s gotta be something wrong with it.

If it didn’t sell for $4,000 there’s gotta be something wrong with it. I voted NP, but I know that whoever ends up with it will most likely be in for a surprise (or many, many surprises) in the near future.

That’s a great movie. It could have been a horrible piece of garbage, but all of the actors are superb and Mr. Rickman is one of the main reasons that it’s so great.

he looked like Daniel Day-Lewis compared to Natalie Portman.

I realize that this is sacrelige on a post about WRC, but since this team is sponsored by Red Bull it’s kinda on-topic—Do you guys know when the 2016 Red Bull GRC schedule is going to be released? I’m thinking about traveling to a race this year and the sooner I can reserve those vacation days at work the better.

their apparently untrustworthy guests

Maybe I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that insurance companies saying “no” was the main reason that muscle cars lost all of their power (in addition to new gov’t. regulations and high gas prices), so why is it that there are so many high-horsepower cars for sale today? Insurance companies have even more…

Mercury is a mid-level, not-quite-luxury brand. I read somewhere that the only reason Buick survived is that they’re big in China. I don’t know what they see in them—maybe the name translates to something good or they like the shields on the badge?

You can find pretty much anything cheap from government surplus. You probably won’t find a $15 million item for $180k, but you can find some cool stuff, like this light amphibious cargo vessel for $3,000:
