Orchard trees. Trimmed so they’re gnarled and low to the ground (easier to pick fruit). Not a straight branch/trunk in the lot. The chipped wood could be used for pellets or smoker scent but the amount exceeds the cost to process and resell.

In the central valley California when an orchard gets old and needs to be replaced you’re supposed to chip it. But the cost to do so it too expensive so people just pile and burn and pay the fine which is cheaper to hire the chippers.

Hate to see them go but nothing lasts forever.  Even though Clarkson proved to be a massive knob, there will probably never be a trio of hosts that top these guys.

Our man in Japan was excellent.

“Deep-seated ire”? Clarkson, maybe, but James May seems a lot mellower in his recent travel shows (not to mention his delightfully silly cooking program). I’m very keen to see more of what he’s doing these days.

This whole experiment probably should have ended when Clarkson physically and verbally assaulted a BBC co-worker in 2016...

Also, the Mustang Mach E, should have just been the Mach E. Less clunky to say, nods at Mustang history without pretending to be a mustang.

I want to know why the Honda Goldwing still doesn’t offer massage seats

Other potential VP candidates who just missed the cut:

Another bunch of greedy assholes ruin a company. Anyone else as sick of VC and hedge funds ruining great companies as I am?  Fucking VC. ARRRGGGH

I’m guessing that after a lot of people that bought Rams in the 2000s got a taste of 2000s Chrysler reliability, then they decided to shell out for something more reliable next time.

“One of the quickly approaching realities car enthusiasts must face is that racing will eventually have to go electric.”

It continues to amaze me that NASCAR seems so out of touch with their primarily right-leaning audience. Those people are going to go absolutely ape shit since they see EVs as “ Woke”.  Whatever. Let em’ whine. 

THIS!

Honestly, it was probably faster and just didn’t feel like it. The rental-spec tires and 87 octane fuel probably held it back a lot too.

If dude was really a car guy, he would not sully the Mustang brand with an SUV and sedan. Sedan should be the Falcon, the SUV  should be renamed Fusion

“Hey honey, I need your signature on these papers so we can take out a second mortgage on the house. I finally found that ‘63 split-window coupe I’ve always wanted....

His cousin was also in Automotive, selling half a million brake pads to Ray Zalinsky to keep Callahan Auto afloat. Rolls Royce of brake pads.

When you have a pretty stellar history and make a whoopsie you do get a bit of a pass. Especially if you make it right (Toyota frame rust?), but if you continually fuck up and don’t ever make it right, that is a bigger issue.

enginebearings are stationary (should be). A spun bearing is a bad thing in engines. This sounds like the process for removing the debris is the root cause. Whether it’s a vacuum or a blower, something is not right
