I got my car towed in San Francisco because I couldn’t decipher the totem pole of signs saying when you could and couldn’t park somewhere. When I parked, the entire street was lined with parked cars. When I came back, they were all gone, including mine. I had to pay for a taxi across town to get to the storage yard,…

It is quite astounding sometimes. I watched a woman pull into a parking space, then see there was a spot ONE SPACE CLOSER in the next row. She backed out and drove over to the other spot. I was dumbfounded.

You get a star just for “Bill’s Rootin Tootin Auto Sales.”

Amen!

I only have time to log in and post a derogatory comment, not read.

I went to a Mercedes dealership and couldn’t even get a salesperson to acknowledge I was even there. Bought a BMW instead.

I know of three of my coworkers who are now all in on Formula 1 who were not race fans at all before. They watched the Australian Grand Prix and are looking forward to more. One is even going to buy the tv package to get ESPN. He used a free trial to watch the first race.

I used to race at a local short track and the class was Bomber which was essentially a street stock with a driver and passenger. One night they had the “mechanics race” and one of our pit guys volunteered. We let him get some practice during regular practice sessions in the afternoon. The guy wouldn’t give it full…

I remember a few years back some kids rappelled into a warehouse somewhere in the Bay Area and stole Guy Fieri’s Lamborghini. The ring leader was pretty young too. Had a storage container somewhere filled with stolen shit, counterfeit money, etc. Then his crew tried to bust him out of juvie by blasting a hole in the…

I have the same complaint about high center of gravity. I’ve always been a “car guy,” but decided to take a different route and got a Tacoma. I miss being able to take off ramps at a moderate pace without the tires howling like I’m Ken Block.

But, but, but I might need it one time!  And maybe one day I’ll get a call up from the local construction company saying their truck that hauls their bulldozer broke down and I need to tow it to the construction site and all the construction workers will lift me up over their heads celebrating because I bought a…

Because Americans are trained that for just $0.50 more, you can super size that fast food meal.  And look how much more you get, regardless if you can or will actually eat all of it.

In the late 90's I raced a street stock (80 Camaro) at our local short track. It was the first race of the season and we had built a new car that year. The day was filled with typical new build gremlins that popped up here and there.

Saying you’re child-free has almost the same blow back as saying you’re an atheist. They immediately come at you with the pitchforks and torches, “Your opinion is invalid! You don’t know what it’s like!”

There was a guy floating around here for a while (apparently he’s a traveling extorter) that was in an electric wheelchair. He would go to these little mom ‘n pop shops in really rural parts of the county and if they didn’t have absolutely every latest ADA accommodation, he would threaten to sue them. But he could…

How could they not have the RPM’s at 5,500 in that pic?

How did they do pit stops during the race with that setup? Did they have to bring their own front tires to every race?  I can’t imagine a series tire supplier made a special size and brought them every weekend for one car.  That car just flabbergasts me.

When I leased my Tacoma they sold it to me at invoice with almost no effort.  Literally one email showing a similar one nearby with a small discount.  There were no incentives from Toyota because it was the first year of the new generation.  When I was in the F&I office, the guy spun his monitor around to show me some…

I love these. I used to have a few of them saved on my hard drive.

If you’re in LA/Hollywood you don’t need AWD as it never snows and rarely rains. You need to embrace the culture and choose something that pays homage to the silver screen.
