I wasn’t the one having the sex... but imagine an entire high school cross country team, maybe two dozen boys and girls, all starting off on a 10 mile run in a pack, maybe a mile from school, heading down a dirt road to hit the deer trails, and passing a car that we all knew belonged to a guy on the b-ball team, and…

If you’re gonna make more trucks, at least make them fun. This looks like a fun truck.

What about the Asian cooking trick of using corn starch instead of flour? I don’t fry anything with tossing in a little corn starch now. It crusts up but it’s not a thick, floury batter. Very light, very inoffensive, very crispy.

When I went to grad school in England back in ‘03, on the inventory of my flat was a “kettle.” I laughed because I imagined a witch’s cauldron. That’s the American concept of a kettle. So imagine my surprise when I found an electric water heating vessel on the kitchen counter. I haven’t been without one since.…

It definitely reads like a perfect Catch 22, doesn’t it.

Wasn’t there a bizarrely and overtly sexual early ‘00s revival on MTV or COmedy Central? I only remember a game of “pitcher and catcher” where Ren threw baseballs up Stimpy’s butthole. Or maybe I dreamed that...

If there’s one field where the “trickle down theory” works, it’s with cars. From racing to hypercars to concepts, that tech DOES end up in your car eventually.

That Hamilton can stand there - kneel, rather - and lay HARD into the issue of racism in motorsports while also delivering god-level performance week after week is a testament to his frankly unprecedented driving skill and mental sharpness, and also his earnest commitment to making positive changes for other people…

The GTI is all the performance 99% of drivers could ever use on a daily basis. Not a sports car, but then again, what is a mass produced sports car these days? Miata, GT86/BRZ... you could get scandalous and say the pony cars I suppose.

Iconic? Depends. Were you a teenager in the late 80s/early 90s? I present my idea - an electric Geo Storm. I saw some posts this weekend that urged GM to relaunch Geo as its electric marque, and I loved the idea.

Apparently we’re supposed to cancel Tina Fey, anyway? That’s just what I heard at the end of an NPR segment as I was getting into my car. I hate 2020.

It reminds me more the the (failed) SAAB Sensonic transmission.

Having autonomous robots cooking dead animal flesh seems like we’re putting our R&D into the wrong things.

This looks like, and given the method probably is how they made sauce in my high school cafeteria. By that, I mean to say I’m making it tomorrow.

I have zero need or want for an SUV, but this is sort of exciting. I feel like they maybe did it right?

Stern helped me design a lighting system for my GTV6. He talked me through every aspect of the system, from wiring the relays to bulbs and aiming. The man knows his business.

The bears panel surpasses the Edward Gorey-level of morbidity. I love it.

Yep. Same. This is good info, because I wish I could find a consistent and reliable speed test. I have Google Fiber 500 and a Google Nest mesh router. I can test multiple devices in the room with the router hub and get a different result on every device. Then I can use a different test and get totally different…

There comes a point in every racing driver’s career when the lose their edge. They possess the same skill, but not the mindset. This is where Vettel is, and why he should retire gracefully, while remembering what happened to Schumacher when he attempted a comeback (which is likely what’ll happen to ALonso, too). There…

The ND Miata is about perfect, so they know how to do it. That tells me everything I need to know about the 3 turbo (I mean, if it turns out its handling isn’t as buttoned down as the ostensible competition).
