Do you know if Will Buxton will be a regular commentator throughout the season? Really missed his interviews last year watching ESPN.

I was once at a car show in Boston, back in the 90s when I was in college. In one corner, they had some car - robot transformer thing, which when a robot shot flames from its hands. There were two businessmen standing next to me. After the demonstration, one turned to the other and said “This is what happens when

This photo is great. They are trying to look tough, but not too tough because God is watching. The thumbs up is in such contract to the Guns, Motleys, and Skid Rows of the time who were flipping the camera off. 

This book is amazing. And I was so much looking forward to the show, but after the second episode I turned it off. It just wasn’t working for me. Great book, though!

I am still trying to figure out what meeting Will Smith as a teenager working at a country club has to do with running an exotic car rental business as an adult.

I started watching and then got distracted counting how many times he says ‘like’ throughout his story. Counted about 80, but possibly missed some.

Possibly, but chances are better that if they are calling me they have either seen my work and/or have been referred by a previous client.

Because, potential clients will make assumptions about how much your services will cost based on the car you show up in. Similarly, I will never wear a watch to a meeting that is nicer than my client’s watch.

I am also a residential architect, but in the Northeast and had similar requirements for my car. Not least of which was a modicum of off road ability to access undeveloped sites. I settled on a Wrangler Unlimited. In most cases it goes about unnoticed, but clients tend to like it and it certainly isn’t too flashy. My

In addition to everything you just said, the fact that membership has been steadily declining since its height in 1959, doesn’t necessarily bode well for an organization which supposedly controls the world. My father is also a mason (and I too a DeMolay), and he goes to funerals of members regularly, they often barely

The words “special edition” give me reason to pause—it’s a pretty vague phrase that could imply this livery isn’t going to be here for a full season.

Pretty sure that reference is to Rich Energy, the new title sponsor for Haas.

I was under the same impression and have seen charts showing huge drop offs between 1970 - 1972. I found this on Wikipedia regarding measuring HP:

Cue all the comments about how it won’t be a real drag race because the cars aren’t loud and the fact stupid opinion that whatever noise the car makes is more important than the race itself.

I suppose it all comes down to what is needed. I personally, don’t have the need for something that can traverse logging roads and streams (that is what my feet and mountain bike are for). However, I could easily see using the Pickman’s 1000 pound cargo capacity to move stuff from one place to another when my wife

Given that a John Deere Gator starts around $7,300 (and $11,000 for an electric model), this looks like it would be easily a nice alternative for back yard stuff. I would love that it is a lot more quiet, too.

The headliner sags, just like in my Saab!

Where is Fancy Kristen to ridicule the interiors and laughably consider this as a tender for her much larger and more expensive real yachts?

It would probably not be feasible, but if the race is red flagged, the clock should stop. Start it up again when cars are on the track. 

Maybe the house can’t sell because it is ugly and needs $1.7 million in renovations to make it attractive enough to a potential buyer.
