I checked with my agent a year ago, and Allstate said no to dash-cam discount. But when I moved from Chattanooga, Tn to Baton Rouge, La, my insurance premium tripled, for the same car, the same coverage and the same company. They said “Second highest area for insurance fraud!” So it doesn’t matter how good your…

Dear Allstate,

I’m going to give you a star for being correct and causing offense. And I’d rather people stopped buying them as well. Particularly this guy. Dramatic price drop, here I come!

1) it’s a CAR. and it’s not a very good one.

I can give you some answers:

I learned from my stint in retail- paying for college- that there are three types of customers- the unremarkable folks get shopping done and no nastiness, just average, the super nice folks you know by sight and go out of your way for, and the nasty entitled ones, you also know on site and give the exact minimum…

I started a new job at a high-end supermarket chain as a manager in their IT department, 6 figure pay, managing software developers. My first two weeks on the job were spent working in one of their stores, every department. On day one I was stocking frozen food. On day two I worked in the deli. On day three I helped…

F1 is lucky that they have a tyre supplier. Any person with a brain would see how fucking stupid F1’s tyre specs are. There’s a reason Michelin wants in but only if they can make actual race tyres and not show tyres.

Oh cool so I guess it’s okay to be a homosexual denouncing religion publicly wearing a tank top kissing a another man who happens to be Muslim while eating a gyro just like in Canada. Oh wait, almost all those things are punishable by death in Dubai. So by “paranoia” you mean basically grasping the fact Dubai is…

So today at lunch time I stop by the Jaguar dealer to pick up a part for my project car, an electrically challenged ‘97 XK8 coupe. A beautiful blonde woman, picking up her brand new, lovely F-type convertible smiles at me. You can’t afford either of us, she seems to be saying. I climb back in my Ford Econoline and…

Here’s my anecdote: I lived in a small town in Colorado until recently. Several years ago, something VERY newsworthy happened. I looked at the local paper’s website, nothing. I checked the regional papers, notta.

How does someone so stupid manage to operate a computer and/or smart phone?

as a resident enzo historian, i’d say this isn’t entirely inaccurate. he was a curmudgeon, yes. he also didn’t attend the funerals of his racers, rather sending his wife in his stead. he was a shrewd businessman and a perfectionist by nature. he vilified his most successful lead mechanic and forced him to join another…

Enzo Ferrari: Am I going to walk around and rip your fucking flags down, in the middle of a race? Then why the fuck are you walking right through? Ah-da-da-dah, like this in the background. What the fuck is it with you? What don’t you fucking understand? You got any fucking idea about, hey, it’s fucking distracting…

BMW is like your favorite steakhouse turning into a stunt restaurant where they keep reading off the specials and explaining the menu with truffle butter poutine, sriracha pastries, wasabi mashed sweet potatoes etc. and you’re saying “can I just get a good steak?”.

Here she is!

If this were a German manufacturer we’d never hear the end of “overengineered/unreliable” comments and “LS swap” comments and plenty of “‘Murica!” Since this is a corvette though...guess it's not a big deal.

So still about 90 cars? After just one car having an issue, with 2 others potentially having an issue, Porsche replaced the engines in ever single GT3. I know, this is GM...but still. A 1% failure rate is nothing to be too proud of. I really hope this issue doesn’t extend to the CTS-V, since I really like that thing...

Funny you’re just writing up on this. Last weekend I was talking to a friend who works at a shop that has a couple of chassis dynos, they’ve had 2 new Vettes lose their bottom end at the shop, each time when the customer lost it, the data was pulled up from the computer showing that the cars were at around 4k rpm when…

Just finished testing one of these at Chuckwallah race track. It was hot out, but I could only go 1.5 laps at speed before overheating so badly that the motor went into limp home mode.... Really GM? My 911 will turn laps all day long.
