The cars aren’t really slow in the grand scheme of things. We’ve just gotten spoiled for power in the last 30 years or so. Now we groan at 0-60 in 7 seconds. I’ve been watching old episodes of Motor Week and I cannot believe the performance numbers of so-called sports cars back in the 1990's. Watching them do a slalom…

This might be COTD if they still did that around here.  Well done.

Americans have to clarify that it’s the food part of the ethnicity we’re after. Chinese food, Mexican food, Indian food, etc.

I rented a Mustang and did a track day at Thunderhill. Granted, it was a V6 with an auto, but it was still fun. I did notice towards the end of the day the transmission having a little trouble (probably overheating,) but it made it to the end and got me home.  The front wheels were already caked with brake dust when I…

I rented a Saturn Aura in L.A. that I was pretty sure was limited to 55 mph.

I know the low level of the camera and the dubbed over engine sounds make it look a lot faster than it is, but I still cringe watching him blow through so many red lights.

My boss never does this, but he said I can knock $50 off the Tru-Coat.

You’d be surprised at what you become blind to with your own vehicle because you see it all the time. When I was cleaning out my truck to trade it in, I kept finding more stuff after checking three different times. I couldn’t comprehend how I’d missed it the last two times I looked.

I remember when $500 hoopties started showing up all over the place with giant MonaVie decals down the side. I never bothered looking into what it was, but I definitely remember the “image” of the average MonaVie salesperson.

I think of this every time I drive by the tire shop down the street and they have a wheel-less car sitting on four floor jacks.

Are you remaining in Reno?

Our local Mazda dealer just quietly went away. They shared a property with a Ford dealership. Now it’s Ford Commercial vehicles.

Was that going to be Ford’s Fiero fighter?  It looks good.  Too bad they cancelled it.

If you’re a registered sex offender in South Carolina do they make you live on Potato House Road?

I like, “Don’t take if you are pregnant, or may become pregnant.” Technically, most women in a pretty broad age range “may become pregnant.”

Maybe they’ll take their Clorox shots before heading out to the polls.

Oh, the voting public is anything but logical and reasonable. I fully expect people like your parents (and my mom and step dad) to vote for Trump in November. His voters are either too engrained, or can’t admit they made a mistake in 2016 and will double down in 2020.

The United States certainly feels like it’s lost its way, but have some faith. The ENTIRE country isn’t crazy, just about 1/3 is apparently. Trump is the worst president in history. He hasn’t recruited any new voters and has chased away a lot of his previous voters. This pandemic has people scared and we don’t have a…

Unfortunately it was close in 2016 because a good portion of this country can’t stand the thought of a woman in power. Even if it wasn’t Hillary, if it was a woman, especially a Democratic woman, some people would have voted for Satan himself over her. Biden is an old, white man. The exact archetype some people view…

They would wreck each other every week. It would be glorious.
