Volkswagen said it’s faster than a Formula One car.

That....wow....what a beautiful sound......

....here, have a star.

....and a sad day is upon us. An opportunity was missed:

Job of the Coast Guard:
Perform maritime homeland security, maritime law enforcement (MLE), search and rescue (SAR), marine environmental protection (MEP), the maintenance of river, intracoastal and offshore aids to navigation (ATON), along with promotion of maritime stewardship.

I have a bit of an issue with this concept and it paints a huge issue we have as a society. I’m going to say this up front: I’m attacking society and it’s norms, not the concept of this club/establishment.

If you don’t want your nose to look too big, maybe you should try taking the picture in landscape mode....

- Tape measurer, metric type, one each. I use metric at work and on the car, makes sense to keep the trend alive. If I need to convert to standard I get out a calculator.

I was dating a woman where she was anti-gun. The whole hobby-not-self-defense argument wasn’t going to hold up at all with her. I explained that what I had was a self-defense tool, one of many I have available to me which kind of took a bit of the edge off of her. When she searched the house and finally found it and…

I’m a road course guy. To the best of my knowledge CMS is one of the better ones. When NASCAR runs on a road course my butt is in front of the TV.

I hope that wasn’t part of the visual update that FOM decided to do because that was really a pain the neck. I like some of the new information and displays but just the font needs to be changed.

Or can you just not read?

It’s fun when they call the phone I carry for work. The number is only known to a handful of select people. One of these IRS scammer called saying I owe money, then when I told them that it was a work phone and ask if they could hold on for a moment let me walk down the hall to HR so I could get them a number to the…

The the NBC coverage was trash in your eyes, then I’d happily eat out of that dumpster fire than have to deal with the crap show that was the ESPN broadcast.

I don’t watch NASCAR, but if a race is going on at Bristol I’m fair game.

That was used as an example. You see the name of the race on the TV but then have zero clue to which track it is at.

But the point is that if you say the actual track name, it would make more sense. I know that it Concord because zMax is right down the street from it and have had to plug the address into a nav system to get there.....

These names are killing me. You tell me the BLAH BLAH BLAH 500 is on, the first thing I ask is which track is that at? Then I have to go and Google it. The last time I tried to Google the Lowe’s MotorSpeedway 500 sponsored by <somerandomname> all I got from Google was some stupid thing about when the race was and all…

I’m almost certain that they are still doing it in some form.

If you didn’t mention that they were made by Cadillac, one could make the argument that this is something that Fiat Chrysler would do. Make an Italian car with American drive train, then wonder why it didn’t work.
