I think it’s also just pure interest. Racing is ultimately seen as a boys sport, which seems to be super important to young kids who fit into deeply defined gender roles. (And you need to start young to ultimately climb to the top echelon of motorsports.) I used to do in-door go karting, which is probably the lowest…

Sony Driveman. You heard it here first.

Fun fact. USB “thumb drives” are the least secure things in the world. They typically consist of a flash memory chip and a controller chip. The controller chip is a small computer that can be programmed to lie. About anything. It can lie about the capacity. It can lie about the data that is on the flash chip. It can…

On the H-D thing...I had to take a 16-hr road trip on a business earlier this month. I was overtaken by 3 separate convoys of H-D riders, all with Trump 2020 flags and blue-lives-matter flags, and some even with the confederate flags. H-D is suffering because not very many people want to be associated with that. And…

I watched The Golden Child the other day (1986) and saw them showing $.99/gallon displayed on Gas Station signs. I remember being able to dip into IL and getting the same price in the mid 90s. Our gas prices are so artificially low it’s amazing. It’s also amazing how bad our roads and bridges are now because we’re no…

Vanilla Ice will explain why it’s not the same:

My goodness this site is getting annoying. When I came here I got an unwanted front and center page-covering popup with full autoplaying,  non-muted, ad-video, but the actual article that I came here to read I had to click to expand. Methinks you have things backwards.

You can’t shut off a cow

This has my stamp of approval.

Yep, we can still keep our eyes on the long-term goals of reducing dependence on fossil fuels, getting them in less damaging ways, and using them more efficiently, while acknowledging that we still need them (and by implication their suppliers) in the meanwhile.  

You know who doesn’t have a Kandi Coco? Carol f*ckin’ Baskin.

Meanwhile we’re still paying above $3/gal in California because ???.

Buy a 4x4 trail book.  Drive out to Colorado, Arizona, or Utah.  You are welcome.

In his defense I didn’t really think of using Google maps or that there was actual parks that offer off-roading. So he kind of lead me in the right direction. I always thought finding trails was kind of a look for it/stumble across it or know someone who knows of a trail thing. Now I am wondering what if anything they…

It’s true if you lease your vehicle. 

The red RPM bands are infected. Stay away from those.

Don’t hate on Becky - I love her.
