Welcome to the Short Shift, a feature I do whenever I feel like it, where I list my Hot Takes based on TMS.

Has Sergio comeback as a Jedi Ghost or something?

If you have been around cars for any length of time, and don’t have a love/hate relationship with them, I’m not sure you can really claim any Jalop heritage.

Can it tow a Postal Jeep through Moab.

The world was brown, black and off-white then, Calvin.

I guess if I just blogged from home I wouldn’t care much about fuel costs either...

He hated cars? [laughing at own “joke”] hahahahahahahaahaha hahahahahahhahahaha hahhahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahaahahah

Can it tow a Postal Jeep from Detroit to Moab?

Cold tires and 1.5 psi off.  We all know why...

Good race, drivers spent nearly as much time countersteering as actual steering in the corners. Really highlighted how diabolical and fun IndyCars are, and letting them blast the track limits highlighted some of the philosophical differences between IndyCar and the more buttondowned “prestige” focused series that…

Now I know why Colton said he had to go take a nap after the race.... I guess from now on, Colton runs a Jalopnik sticker to guarantee good luck!

And in case anyone wonders what his time was and how it compares to F1:
-He did 1:46.0177
-F1 2018 Pole was 1:37.392

Long-Bell should just have it listed on the menu as “The Bernot.” 

She did dumb shit when she was 21 (or 20?!) and has perhaps...grown in the time since? And I know you acknowledge that but it’s a throwaway line in what sort of feels like a needless hitpiece? This isn’t Tucker Carlson being a racist misogynistic manbaby at 40 or whatever.

Although the industry is moving away from them, “memory items” have long been a part of flying. Almost every checkride I’ve ever been in there’s been a test on those in the oral portion and the sim.

Waiting for this comment so I didn’t have to post it.

“Street racing is bad, don’t do it! By the way, here’s this cool dude that did 197 on public, unclosed roads.  He’s awesome!”
