You said it with “confidence”. I watch so many DIY videos on YouTube that it is almost jarring to see a true professional at work. You can’t fake moving with that kind of purpose, and its always super satisfying to watch someone who really knows what they are doing ply their trade.

It’s been great seeing periodic updates on his progress, from rolling out of bed, to riding on a stationary bike, to taking a few steps with the aid of a harness. Always with a grimace, but also always with a smile. You realize that the guys who make it to the very top of this sport are gifted beyond mere mortals, but…

Jesus, David. The Kia is still sitting in your yard?

See these trucks running all over Eastern New Mexico in the spring - feel bad for the ones tenaciously gripping the outside the netting, trying to stay with their homes at highway speeds.

Too young to remember the W203 C230K “SportsCoupe”? Those things were everywhere in the early aughts.

Just did 2000km in a week doing my dream driving vacation through Switzerland and western Germany in a rented A160 6sp FWD hatch. It was a good ride, but not a great ride. The seasonally mandated winter tires didn’t help the situation, to the point where I couldn’t really say much good or bad about the car dynamically.…

If one driver can’t follow flags, that driver needs to be dealt with. If every driver on the grid would exit the pits in exactly the same fashion as Perez, there is a problem with the regulations and protocol for the marshals. Double yellows means be prepared to stop if necessary, but is not being treated as such by…

Wasn’t too long ago at this track that Pastor Maldonado hit a marshal, nearly killed him, and was “banned for life” from racing at Monaco.

Welp, if I’m going to go through the effort to pull the intake manifold I guess I might as well find an M50 intake at the junkyard to replace it. Was yours worth the effort? Did you go with a tune/different MAF?

This is good advice.

Let’s play that game - $10,095 invested in a fund tied to the SP500, 38 years, dividends reinvested, ~11.5% averaged annualized returns over that period . . . $650k.

Every big fight I hope for a HamNo boxing piece - the only sportswriting I look forward to reading. Excellent work, thanks man.

Stef - other than Koei Saga (who always looks sad these days) you were the biggest celebrity I saw on the grid walk. I said “hey, I like your writing.” You turned to your buddy and said “this is why I bring the bunny.”

Try the app - it’s worked since I gave up on the website.

That was the whitest thing I’ve ever seen.

What a way to cap a career - cheers Taku,

The crushing irony of that “Stay in yo lane” shirt . . .

Another Golden Era Honda bites the dust. Bummer.

Also disappointed. Reminds me of:

Well, this certainly tempers my disappointment in Alexander Rossi not taking a seat.
