Congrats to Nico Rodriguez.

Taking the MSF in November. I’m almost certain that the CB500X will be my first bike.

A weird van-trailer thing. It’s like a rape van with all the rape and none of the van.

Not rain (California duh) but we had some foggy drizzle for my morning track session at Laguna Seca.

Who needs wet weather for synchronized spinning when you have the corkscrew!?

Jalopnik should start doing this for cars... As a result of the last three of these my Instagram feed has gained many, many motorcycles.

Stig’s helmet looks like it’s too big for his tiny head.

The Tesla Model S. I worked for Tesla for 2 years, selling and delivering hundreds of these. I have spent at least 1,000 miles behind the wheel of the Model S and it has ruined all other cars for me. Nothing, and I mean nothing, drives like it.

Karma Karma? Well... we do have the Mazda Mazda3.

My F30 328i gets 35mpg at 85mph+ on long highway straights, and about 30mpg during normal commute driving. Did my first track day in it a few weeks ago, and averaged 8mpg, haha!

Definitely not BART! Still running train cars from 1968.

I’ve tried 10+ different mounts, and nothing is as good as a Proclip. Definitely worth the money.

Damn, that’s right!

Just order a manual wagon.

My mom recently ordered a 2016 228i and I’m almost positive that a manual was a no-cost option.

I always used to go to the Concours at Pebble Beach but after attending the Historics at Laguna Seca this year for the first time, it’s safe to say that it has replaced Pebble Beach on my Car Week itinerary.

“without gaining any lasting advantage”

Did someone say ice creams?

Oh man, if only you had made a left at the T (and had more gas). From there into San Jose is one of the best roads in NorCal. San Antonio Valley Road up to the summit of Mt. Hamilton is mostly canyons, and then down into the Silicon Valley is super twisty but fast and smooth.

My mom’s brand new off-the-truck 2012 VW GLI had a Mexican candy wrapper under the driver seat. Most likely came from the factory.
