I do as well. Hence why I have not modded my Jag. It makes enough “go” and enough noise for me now. Perhaps 20 years ago the outlook would have been different.

Nope, at least in my experience it is not true. The folks I know are all passionate about their vehicles and do little hooning. Many/most also track their cars. But if you consider that “driving a car hard” then why are you here?

Go over to any Jag forum - everyone on there mods. Especially the F-Types. I’m one of those rare F-Types that have not modded. That’s just me.

This is the best NP we’ve had here for a while.

And how is that working out for you?

A few years ago I started mailing my grandson postcards, with each telling a story about a car I have owned. Never did the math before but my best guess is around $225k over 18 vehicles and 45 years.

That’s how the Tesla fanboys get back at us!

Probably because they had no concept of Seinfeld and figured you guys were insane.

I bet it was all back slaps and free beers at the American Legion hall afterwards.

For your Moka, rinse, rub your hand around inside each part and...done!

Probably because there are too many iterations to deal with. My Gaggia required viewing a 12 minute video and a large amount of cursing when I first cleaned it.

Never, ever use soap on a coffee making device.

Loving the ratio!

2014 Smart ED with 20,200 miles on the clock. New they were rated at 83 miles, currently showing 70-73 depending on the weather.

Slashing the valve stems is decidedly easier.

From my rear view I hang the collar from one of my late dogs as well as the tags from my other puppies that have passed. I like to have them along for the ride and be reminded of them daily.

A weekend blog post trying its hardest to stay ahead of any facts. No mention if seat belts were on or not. Driver could have been pushed into passenger seat. Or, they just could have been two idiots in a Tesla.
