Just took the opportunities when they were there, and made the right choices to reach my goals. I will concede that not everyone gets the same opportunity.

Top Gear UK didn't just get me going on cars, it's hands down the best travel show around, which is a whole new dimension you don't hear many "petrol-heads" talk about. The best episodes were the adventures out into the world's wild and unpredictable roads, which had a fantastic way of making you feel like you went…

I suppose this epoch had to end at some point. The manner in which it might well have ended is regrettable, and I want to remind everyone that there are many talented people who work on all the TG brands – the telly crew, the magazine, the events and much besides – who must be shitting themselves right now, and I…

I'm going to deeply miss Top Gear. That show got me into cars, before Top Gear cars was just a casual thing, not my main interest. Ever since I binged that show on Netflix way back in 2011, I've been in love with cars.

Actually Chris you are the reason why I care about Cars.

the most controversial plate of cold cuts... in the world.

Did you not take stats when you were working so hard?

I mean, come on, what proof do we have that this is really a beetle knockoff? It could be anything...

I'd add a caveat to the tool thing. Nice tools are, well... nice, that is for sure, but when you need certain tools only very rarely, I feel that it is totally OK to cheap out sometimes. I once read on a Miata forum, in regards to cheap tools, specifically Harbor Freight and the like, a great way to look at it is you…

Like the o-ring on the space shuttle. Except in both cases, it wasn't really about the parts. The root cause was a breakdown on process. Somewhere, someone didn't follow through, and others didn't catch it. In the end, it's always human error - insufficient foresight, a cost/benefit calculation that doesn't look so…

US/Canadian production is complicated and expensive. Shale/Sand do not surrender their bounty easily. I have seen some stats that show leases being abandoned and new development slowing. When prices go back up, it is not like we just turn the spigot back on. It will take years to ramp up production again.

While this number may go up, you gotta give credit to Reuters for fucking nailing it, but you can also understand why they didn’t make a big deal out of it yesterday. I think everyone hoped they were wrong, that so many people didn’t die for a part that cost a few dollars. It’s tawdry to gloat about being right about…

This was a car so audacious it dared to call itself the Master of the Road but in quick order it became the ride of choice for the Early Bird Special crowd, and the ride of you-have-no-choice for broke college kids who inherited them once the powers that be decided to finally take grandpa’s keys away the third time he…

Three boxes are always less efficient for any given footprint. However, the Roadmaster wagons should never have died except that people wanted to sit higher.

Its more the fact that they could have tried to stop him, but instead it was stuff like "he better not hit my fucking car" Maybe not physical restraint, but even a simple, "Come on man, dont drive you're drunk" might have worked. They did nothing but watched till he wrecked, and they just cursed him out the whole…

Not physically, but at least try to talk him out of it. I know this is the internet and all, but there is a median between doing nothing and assault.
