I would consider a full ev vehicle, but I will never buy a Tesla for three reasons. One, their horrid quality control. Two, the cult-like fan base. And three, because of Elon himself.

I agree that it’s a necessity for structural safety and traffic flow, but I think the main complaint is why did they do it weeks before the race? There’s going to be a lot of tourists flowing through there with no knowledge of the upcoming F1 race. They want their pictures of the strip and are going to be disappointed…

Did it have an interactive CD-ROM?

Very well put. I’ve never understood the whole “hate people from neighboring states” thing. I remember as a kid (in California) my dad railing against Oregonians.

Multimillion dollar track-only hyper cars. What is the point? Just buy a race car. Honestly, you’d turn more heads if you showed up with an actual former LMP or Indycar than one of these.

I seriously considered a new car this last weekend, until I started shopping loans and the cheapest Tier 1 rate I could find was 6.74%. Our two cars are currently at 2.4%. We’ll stick with what we’ve got until interest rates come down again.

In 1995, my aunt just needed cheap transportation to work and bought a 1995 Suzuki Swift with a 5-speed. She then got laid off and was going to have to return the car to the bank. My mom needed a car, so she took over the payments, but before we could start using it, another aunt crashed her car and needed a car while…

My rookie year in Late Models I blew an engine in practice. I was running for Rookie of the Year against another guy that had bought the previous year’s track championship car, but he was slow as hell. Some friends let me borrow their Bomber, put my number on it in duct tape, and run the Main event just to get some…

I’ve rented a Mustang and an FR-S and done track days with them. The rental company was never the wiser. But I did pay for the extra insurance.

In high school I worked as a detailer on a small mom ‘n pop used car lot. I learned that a lot of teachers are detached from reality. They are book smart, but have no common sense in any other part of life. We’d have a car priced at $12,000 and they’d offer like $3,000 and be offended when my boss told them no. They…

I’m certainly not going to defend Union Pacific here because I think it should be illegal to not have sick leave, and it definitely sounds like from this article they were looking to make an example out of someone to scare the other employees which is shitty. However, I work at a place where injury leave is routinely…

I almost bought one new. Test drove it, considered pulling the trigger, but nope, gas mileage wasn’t great. So I bought an Altima Hybrid. *face palm*

When I was in high school we had a 1980 Camaro Street Stock that we raced at the local circle track. Our class required a passenger so we had two seats in the car. One night while getting the car ready, my mom stopped by the shop. I convinced her to go for a quick ride around the industrial complex. Afterward all she…

At some point these two had to sit down and discuss this plan, saying the words out loud to each other. And both went, “That’s genius!”

Won’t someone think of the drunks?

I always like this Fiat 500 Abarth commercial:

Yep, bought my house in 2007 just before the housing bubble burst. 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath, 1098 sq/ft. It lost half its value right after the housing crisis, but I wasn’t going anywhere. It has now gained all its value back and another 200k on top of that. I’m still not going anywhere. I like my neighborhood, the house…

Yeah, there’s a few around here that are starting to get discounted as they approach the 100 day mark on the lot. It’s sporadic though. Some dealers still “know what they’ve got.”

I was really hoping this thing would face-plant so Subaru would sheepishly admit the plastic cladding was a bad idea. I guess I’ll take my crow sandwich. The crossover virus has infected everything.
