I understand some self-regulation, because otherwise you have a compliance officer breathing down your neck with everything you do all the time, so self regulation is needed, for some things. However, when it comes to safety standards regarding thousands of peoples lives, I cannot justify or stand by self-regulation.

This is a great looking helmet that I have never seen or heard of before...

That means a helmet which meets DOT isn’t very safe, something made worse by DOT’s self compliance; the helmet makers test compliance themselves, supposedly

I saw a naked mule of the Nissan GTR in the spring of 2007 before it was released later that year. I flipped out. I couldn’t take what I was seeing. It was amazing.

Yup. It is the same program that Ferrari used for the Enzo FXX’s, where Ferrari keeps and maintains them, then brings them to wherever the owners (or, it might actually be Ferrari) dictates.

P1 GTR for the win. I love the P1 so much. It, to me, is beautiful, and the P1 GTR is beautiful insanity. I love it so. *heart eyes emoji*

Price has changed. Now $90

I know :)

How do you think the Pens (or Flyers?) will hold up this year? I’m hoping my Avalanche can stay healthy enough to make the playoffs.

They have dedicated buses that run to the venue! FOR $5!! It’s pretty great. I don’t know what the website is at the moment, but I am sure it wouldn’t be that difficult to find.

I live in Northern OC, and there are buses that we take for $5 to get up there in tons of locations. It’s so easy to get up there, and tickets are priced fairly well for the Bowl...

I never cared for Cat Power, and so when my friend and I arrived, we went and grabbed a beer from the place right at the entrance while they played.

Dammit did I love this article, Stef. Hahaha

The Pixies were awesome, but Gogol Bordello blew my mind. How a band can have that much energy night in and night out blows my mind. Plus, I’ve loved Gogol Bordello for forever, and I didn’t even know they were opening for The Pixies, and I freaked out when they came on stage. Haha

Yup!

When the French and Americans come together on things, they tend to have good results. The Statue of Liberty. Pork roll on croissants.

Tyler, I’m so glad you run this site. It has really fueled my passion for aircraft and especially military aircraft all over again.

I have always been an F-22 supporter, and never fully understood why they wanted to move from this to the F-35. I’m glad I have been vindicated.

But... Look how pretty it is!

Winning shot. This is awesome.
