A couple years ago I was riding with a group of cyclists. We were riding past a large forklift loading a bunch of 4x8 sheets of plywood into a pickup. A tall bunch. The forklift operator let the truck take the full weight just as I was passing by. The bed collapsed. The suspension collapsed. The rear window shattered.

If I was vintage racing a Mini Cooper, this would be my paddock setup. 

WHERE DID OUR MUSICS GO TO???  :-(

Classic.

Same difference.

Except the trailer people scream at you because tapering it reduces cargo capacity, makes it trickier to load, etc. Once you smooth the cab out a bit, all the aero gains are on the trailer. The back of the trailer. The one place where no one wants you to change it. 

Supposedly the optimum is a half bed cover (Rear part covered). As discovered by the SCCA Race Truck Challenge participants in the 80's. I can’t find any reference to it but I remember reading an article during that time period about it. The part of the air flow that would have otherwise struck the back of the bed and

Vans like this were called “stalker vans”. As in stalker of underage girls.

No idea...

I would post an image of an awesome brazilian but I don’t think they allow NSFW images here. Instead I’ll post this informational chart:

There’s some kind of perverse irony/statement going on in the photo for this article - A VW with the motor city’s Michigan Central Depot (Now owned by Ford) looming in the background. I haven’t quite figured it out, but I will...

The club I mentioned (Small’s in Hamtramck, which is located within Detroit) hosts a couple dance nights. One is called Thirst Wave, which is 80's/90's alternative, dark wave, etc. The other is called “Industrial’s Not Dead”. Which is exactly what you might imagine it to be. VNV is played regularly on that night.

I’d prefer that color on a Maserati Khamsin. Please and thank you.

Now playing

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!! Me twerking... LMAO!!

For a daily driver (Currently a 2019 Veloster R-Spec) I need near absolute reliability. I’m over 50. I’m no longer interested in dealing with the foibles of “interesting” cars when it comes to the car I rely on to get me places.

Not around her middle.

Never mind exercise - I just wanted to dance while I watched/listened top this. Wait.. dancing is exercise, right?
