I’m looking forward to returning to the adventures of Tommy Vercetti.

UPDATE: That must be one hell of a good friend to still go through with an order at the same dealership that you know would have happily screwed the hell out of you, your family and every swinging d*ck that walked through the door.

Not enough of these WCSIB postings include the Testarossa and I am glad that today that problem has been rectified. I don’t envy the buyer having to service that V12 engine but at the same time I only have to look at it when its on the road and that’s really where the Testa shines IMO.

“No, he hasn’t technically spent any money, BUT there absolutely was an opportunity cost to him not getting a Bronco at MSRP.”

Correct me if I’m wrong here but technically speaking this guy isn’t out any money, right? He never completed financing nor dropped a dime other than his deposit which again if I’m not mistaken would be refundable if the deal was never executed. So while its shitty that the dealership deliberately withheld a…

In addition to Bad Obsession Motorsports there is Rocky Mountain ATV and Ed China’s Garage on YT that absolutely rock. Also Paul Brodie and Alan Millyard’s channels if you dig motorcycle stuff. So much good content that genuinely shows you the work and passion that go into everything from full custom to simple…

As a lover of vintage RVs, I totally dig this and would consider spending my money on this. But that’s just me.

Similarly, the last person to finish the Tour d’France is un-officially awarded the Lantaun Rouge (Red Lantern) signifying the lantern that hung on the caboose of a long train to let train station agents to know when the last car has passed. Its such an honor that riders will actually “compete” to finish last to such…

“the only thing on the newer 4.0 that I see fail with any regularity is the TPS”

Aw screw I honestly thought it was the other way around, considering how thoroughly TE snatched the ball away from Tesla on the regular I genuinely thought that since “land” power is AC and only nerdly battery power is DC then AC must have been Edison’s preference. Guess it would have paid to actually look that up, I…

Nice Stross reference.  

As a long time construction supervisor who has worked primarily in the deep red South/SE of this country, I am surprised only that this does not come up far more often. Take an outspoken group of old school mentality good ‘ol boys playing in the dirt as macho construction guys, add in the crippling self-knowledge that…

Well, one of them did anyway.

You had me at “IROC Porsche” because I have been looking for a new reason to carry a knife in my boot ever since I lost all my HotRod magazines and ninja stars back in 1991. I’ll never trust my mom to look through my room again.

Considering this is Torch, could we not get completely away from Left-Right turn signal indicators and just have one huge unified indicator right in the middle of the bumper with a loudspeaker that politely asks for permission to consider changing lanes?

There is so much Pro-Jeep hyperbole in the language of both the Jeep rep and the author you would think they are one and the same person. “Head of the class, Legendary capability, capability that’s bred in(WTF?)“.  Has anyone seen Lawrence Hodge and Jim Morrison in the same room?

Probably got high doing so much writing with the magic marker.

I know in some municipalities if a car is towed to a junkyard and/or left at a parking meter long enough without being claimed it is declared abandoned and sold off. Odds are all of these were reported stolen and the owner’s compensated via insurance (although I cannot explain how they would have gotten the keys for…

Driving around today and I gotta take a little wind out of your sails Jason; I see the “dogbone” styling details on modern Chevy pickups as well as Hyundais, and that’s just on the cars that passed me on the way to lunch this afternoon. Certainly not exclusive to Ford by any stretch.

The irony in the construction industry is any good project manager and superintendent will just stockpile material on the jobsite which gets the senior managers in a tizzy because that’s not “LEAN principles” but eff that if my job is on the line I am not risking it over a PVC shortage in Louisiana because of a…
