Apparently, I’m an asshole of the highest order when coming out of anesthesia. My wife has been present when I awoke from knee surgery, wrist surgery, hernia surgery and elbow surgery. She claims that I was an insufferable prick every single time and has vowed that I’m on my own the next time. Guess I need to see how…

I’m all in for a Beast Mode 2020 presidential bid. The debates would be the best television ever broadcast. 

As a motorcycle rider, I can attest to the merits of situational awareness... and to the general obliviousness of the average motorist. When I’m not on two wheels, I’m in a 1/2 ton pick up truck and use the same awareness as when I’m on the bike. No less scary. but at least I have a chance when the texting asshole in…

I’ve never been accused of being overly bright. Case in point, I am a former MK4 owner and voted nice price. Likely because I have masochistic tendencies.

If this car was local, I’d be a potential buyer. Rationale being that I’m already conditioned for the inevitable pain. 

Have to agree. My old ZJ developed a noisy rear diff which exploded about a week later. Threw a junk yard year end under it to get through the coming winter. Sold it the following spring for not much more than scrap value. At the time it had 280k miles on it, leaked every fluid except brake fluid and fuel, ate window…

I’m having a very difficult time rationalizing how any of his shit heaps are worth more than a Wal-Mart clearance jacket... which I guess is the point. 

Somehow, the mashup of Sears photo studio and Glamour Shots is totally appropriate for 2005 NASCAR. 

I’d guess Rossi was riding at maybe 50% of his ability. No insult to Lewis, he’s obviously spent a fair amount of time on two wheels, but I have to image Vale would have absolutely walked away if he was riding full tilt.

Same would be true if they put both guys out in the car. Lewis driving at 100% would destroy Vale.…

Canadian dollar = CAD

Former 93 4.0 ZJ owner here... my rig never had any transmissions problems in the 320k miles before I sold it. Similarly, the 4.0 was (as expected) absolutely bulletproof.

However, the only fluid it didn’t leak was fuel. It also had multiple random electrical issues, window regulators failing like they were getting…

My dude... I work for a state public safety agency and there are plenty of people arrested for travelling the public motorways at illegal speeds carrying felony levels of drugs, warrants for murder or similar. Not all of them are white me....

Well, shit, most of them are. Carry on. 

Former ‘90 Prelude Si 4WS owner here. It was a brilliant car. One of the ones I wish I hadn’t let get away.

This. I use a mechanical keyboard at home but would never subject my office-mate to the noise. And, if you have a mech keyboard and are on a conference call, mute your goddamn phone.

I voted CP based on my real world cash situation but, if I had stupid money, I’d be awfully tempted. This is probably exactly how I would restomod a MK2. It’s damn near perfect and would be a Radwood hero car.

I’m even used to the pains of VAG ownership having owned a MK3 and MK4. Both were shitboxes which just slowly…

I was never out of the greys and probably didn’t have much to contribute anyway. I will be as upfront as I can be here: it wasn’t that long ago my political leanings were not exactly aligned with the Splinter ethos.

Paint booth guy: “Meh, fuck it, it’s the last one and I’m out of purple”

I thought the post was pretty informative and one of Elizabeth’s best so far. Maybe I’m just an F1 nerd, but I thought the post was great. 

Agreed on all points. The tired fallacy that a Gold Wing is an old man’s bike is ridiculous. They are fast, handle well, and are supremely comfortable on long rides. If I had $25k to spend on a new bike right now, it would be a new Wing.

The 35oz average doesn’t sound too far fetched based on soda consumption by my co-workers. Two of them each bring a 2-liter of Mt. Dew daily and kill it the same day. How they are alive is beyond me.

I’ve typically not ever been phased by a “celebrity” passing away, but Tony killing himself fucked me up properly. I’ve yet to watch any of his past media... but I will absolutely watch this documentary when released.
