Some mechanics (like one I recently used) will actually encourage you to go get x and x parts yourself. They’ll often still warranty their work, if not the part itself. It’s a good tradeoff to avoid the mechanic needing stock room and being able to run and grab what I may need from Autozone or my dealer without paying…

You could actually build half of a system or moon board on this thing. You follow the same specifications as anyone else who builds one (including elite professionals), which means there are literally thousands of combinations for problems that you can print out online and practice at home.

This is Angeles Crest and that’s a fantastic piece of the road. Sad thing is the other side of that tunnel is much mellower and straighter. You can really get a car moving going in the other direction.

This is an especially fun road as the speed limit is often around 60 and the road provides ample opportunities to…

Let’s go Team PB Blaster!

I’m calling it now—the Panthers will end the season a perfect 15-1!

HUGE fan of the 2 (Angeles Crest Highway) outside of LA. High speed limit, sweeping turns, huge elevation changes, and sparse traffic.

I may be wrong on this—but I also thought you could put in the almost-identical 2002-2007 STI engine, which has 300 little horses to make this thing go very fast.

This umpire is horrible. It’s like he’s trying to block the defender. Most umpires step FORWARD as the play develops specifically to get out of the way. This guy just stands there. He was blocking that linebacker’s coverage—though the kid definitely pushes him down with intent.

The Washington DC area, especially Northern Virginia, is incredibly rich. Fairfax County was the first county in America to have an annual salary average of six figures, and Potomac Maryland across the river is much the same. Northern Virginia has some of the most money per capita anywhere in America—it’s a…

The real problem at this point is Snyder knows we all hate him. I don’t plan to pay very close attention this year, no jersey at Christmas for me, etc. But this same slug you describe in your article is such an awful human being that he would probably lose money year after year simply to spite the fan base that so…

I got off lighter than I thought I would.

So much longer.

Answer: the facility appears to be county-operated, but judges are elected. Still seems fishy. I wonder if that judge receives donations from the facility’s vendors.

Does anyone know if judges there are elected and if that’s a private juvenile facility? This reeks of a judge sending kids away for election money.

Pass this one every day—it’s in the Exotic Euro Cars back lot, right near the Topanga Canyon exit on the 101 (southbound has the best view). Absolutely hideous.

I’ve been doing this for about a decade—basically since college—and often use it to record jokes or story notes, as well as shopping lists, to-dos, contacts, etc.

I love the smaller-sized Moleskin notebooks and nothing fits in a back pocket as well as these: http://www.amazon.com/Parker-Jotter-…

+1 for this one. I dislike their soap as it’s a little too lotiony, but the deodorant is perfection.

Coming to this hella late—but a lot of live shows actually hire people to be there. It’s called audience work and it’s done by movie extras and other mostly unemployed lazeabouts for something like $40/show.

Let’s not forget Mexico’s flag depicts an eagle eating an effing rattlesnake while sitting on a cactus. That’s pretty badass.

These are sooo flat in the corners it’s almost impossible to believe.
