Let’s hope that gas station sold a lot of Slim Jims and cheesecake danish (my favorite gas station confection!) to make up the slack.

The paint on Newgarden’s car is magnificent, as one might expect from PPG. No, I don’t work for PPG, but it is an excellent bit of subtle advertising. I only wonder if it’s a wrap - odd for a paint company - or paint.

Been there, done that, at least up to an indicated 56 mph.

Janet Guthrie is posing in her 1977 Rolla Vollstedt Offy. Nothing more badass than a longshot entry qualifying a car at Indy that was built in a garage in back of a fellow’s house.

I got it.

I’ve often thought of taking my 1997 Zombie brought back from the dead Jaguar XK8 on a long road trip, but have thought better of it. The furthest I’ve ventured is about 100 miles out.

Nor should there be. Everyone he raced against either spun out, blew up or was slower.

Kind of a sexist take Elizabeth. A few ladies have pined for the little naked man as well.

Well yeah.

I’ve met a couple of billionaires. They both seemed as happy and grounded as anyone I’ve met, and one of them indeed had a hell of a story to tell about how he made millions - before he made billions in the auto industry as a matter of fact.

I was reading this article and was really enjoying it. Thinking that this guy is very good. I’m sorry to see you go, and that it took 2,500 posts to really appreciate you. But I hope to see you elsewhere soon (unless you disappear into the high paying corporate maelstrom. Good on you too, if that’s the case).

It does sound like a fun party!

I support these folks right to speak to power, especially since I’m seeing more of them on Jalopnik than I’ve seen of them on the DC area Beltway. I am, of course. appalled by the alleged torture of one of our furry friends. Seriously, I’m all for peaceful protest, but these folks seem more intent on spending their…

We really need to focus. I believe the article was about subprime car loans. Subprime car loans really aren’t too dangerous to the economy, in my opinion, because it’s relatively easy to repo a car and re-sell it. Especially when car prices are high. Maybe they are a canary in the coal mine? I can’t say. But what I…

Those damn Swedish socialists!

From Wikipedia, describing the economy during the Reagan administration:

This is a fine list, but you left off one of the world’s best drivers.

Ban cell phones because people are more interested in the phone than the cars when crossing the street.

Could you imagine doing the elevator pitch for this business with Ms. Moneybags.
