Honestly? It was kinda funny talking to the clerk in Sally Beauty Supply:

I mad the mistake once of thinking that I didn’t need to spend 3 seconds to put on glasses to just under my car “real quick” to hold LT header while my buddy started the bolts. I ended up getting what I thought was dirt in my right eye. We pressed on, and I figured the “dirt” would come free. FF to 2 days later, and…

Pretty much sums it up.  Any time I’ve had a bright idea to try and work on my car, I can read a repair manual just fine, but when you encounter the first thing that doesn’t come out like the process said....that is when the real “fun” begins and you might as well throw the manual out of the garage as you frantically…

Pretty cool, but perhaps a bit short-sighted. Here’s the wrenching game of the future

Yes, indeed. I personally love it when bolts fall into the holes in box section frames, never to be seen again. My secret to finding small dropped parts is to start looking in the most ridiculous locations first. If the small, dropped part can roll, it is usually wise to begin the search 50 feet from your workspace…

This is a perfect game to delude many a youngster into thinking “I can do that...”. If only car wrenching involved simple, genteel activities. Aside from the aforementioned lost 10mm sockets, busted knuckles, broken bolts, and cursing, I would add a couple more essentials:

Is it really learning if you don't curse, have bloody knuckles and lose at least one 10mm socket?

This is what almost every pickup and Jeep looks like now since apparently people need 3 foot light bars to drive around on a sunny day.

I hate working under jackstands. If I must get under a car, it’s on jackstands, with the jack touching but not supporting the car also, plus whatever wheels/cinderblocks/toolboxes I can shove under there too.

It really sucks, but you’re right. Ironically, I guess the next best thing he can do is lose the race (which he did, and in a spectacularly unflattering fashion).

What you wrote makes no sense. You know those garages are assigned randomly right? They didn’t know the noose had been there until the FBI reviewed video footage. They didn’t let anything continue as a racist event. As soon as they found out it was there, they made sure everyone knew. You should read some reputable…

Still talking about ratings. I can’t wait to never see or hear from him again. 

I’d like to be pissed at LaJoie, but it’s true - he has pretty much zero say on what goes on that car. He could quit, and they’d find someone else. He could refuse, and they’d fire him. If he won, he’d be *contractually obligated* to thank his sponsors.

Right now, as he sees it, he can drive for Trumpster asshole, or…

1) Gotta give Wallace big kudos for his response to Dumbass Donald—taking the high road—just too cool.

You can ignore a lot of people but you really can’t ignore the President of the United States of America.

.@RPMotorsports owner Andrew Murstein: “I find it hard to believe that the President would send out such a misinformed tweet”

I can’t understand why people can blame Bubba in all of this. I’m sure they’re all aware that NASCAR leadership were the first ones to tell Bubba of the noose. Also, they all know the noose was there since 2019. If the noose was there since 2019, how could it have been a hoax? It was just an honest mistake. Instead of…

Well, there was this. Not much, but it got the MAGAts into a tizzy.

I had a little more... stylized? one.

The wind noise is PLENTY to let you know you’re smoking along. And it’s not as featureless as it may seem - you know you’re screaming.
