My father was always in to motor racing (as a spectator). As a kid, he and I would go to the closest dirt track to our home (Flemington Speedway) and if there was a race on TV, he had it on. Outlaws, NASCAR, Indy, F1, drag racing, it didn’t really matter, he just liked cars racing and watched them. I loved Indy but wa…

Those tailgates! That is where mine went bad. At some point I wasn’t able to close the tailgate enough and the rear window only operated when I had someone else strong enough to push against the upper left corner. Eventually, even pushing on the tailgate wouldn’t assist in the window operation. At that point, the…

possibly permanent hearing loss, especially to children

So, a new Ducati Scrambler is about $1800 more than a Ducati mountain bike? Seems reasonable...

Dicky Barrett approves of this.

Your're new here, aren't you?

So, is it wrong that I am reading this with a beer and egg sandwich lunch?

Thank you for allowing me to start my day by going down the YouTube rabbit hole watching Yngwie videos and re-living my metalhead youth.

Calling me / my comment asinine simply because I only made one simple, completely factual, statement to answer the OP’s question is a bit presumptuous. Sorry if I did not go into a full dissertation on the complexities of Honda’s motor development from McLaren to Red Bull and the ever worsening relationship that Honda…

My wife and I ask the same question: where to Seb?

I am not sure that it was so much the Honda engines were not good, but more to do with how McLaren packaged the motors in the car. Red Bull made the switch to Honda and has not had nearly the same level of reliability problems and lack of power that McLaren had.

When the average teacher’s salary in the 90s was somewhere around $33k, what shop teacher, or any teacher, could have afforded one of these new when they started mid-$50k? I am thinking dating teachers and underage liaisons were not his only extra-curricular activity.

Filtering water from the tap doesn’t have anything to do with making clear ice. It is all about how the water freezes which creates the clear cubes.

Full time Upstate NY resident here. Often, I will find myself driving down a small country road, only to come upon a car, usually with a license plate frame that says “BMW of Manhattan”, stopped in the middle of the road with the passenger hanging out of the window taking a photo of a cow, chicken, deer, or some other…

Wait, in the first video, the 2nd stuck dude and the 3rd stuck dude are the same guy! I hope the tow driver doubled his fee for the second rescue.

As an architect who specializes in custom high end residential design, most of my clients are also high net worth individuals and families. My Jeep Wrangler has never looked out of place among their vehicle choices or in the driveways of their estates. And some even have a Jeep, so it is a car that crosses many…

But the natural geography of the track doesn’t allow for expansion.

How do those 19" tires hold up in NYC and on the Taconic? The 18" tires on my wife’s R-Spec get destroyed upstate and have had some unfortunate TSP issues.

My wife has a Turbo R-Spec. We have 2 kids (8 and 10). The door on the passenger side is no problem for the kids to get in and out of and a booster seat fits perfectly fine. I can think of maybe 3 times when there was an adult back there, and one of them includes my wife who is 5'2" while I drove. And surprisingly,…

That makes more sense. Thanks!
