What do you Think?
I can’t tell if rally type wheels look dumb or not. Make my decisions for me, Oppo hive mind. These would be 19" (match existing), but I should probably also consider 18" wheels so I can find some damn tires for my car.
Ah. Shit.
12k miles on these garbage Dunlops, and I’ve managed to rip the sidewall off one. Good thing these are $250 each are you fucking kidding me!?

Pegging the WTF Meter
Leaving work yesterday I saw a cargo bike for the first time, with two children riding up front and dad pedaling out back. Very odd looking.
Bad Opinion Time
The new QX50 design works really well in person.
I will be officiating a wedding and was invited to the bachelor party, but would rather decline considering 1) I’m the officiant and 2) it seems lame as hell. The party will be a baseball game in the city and then “hitting the town”, which means walking around until we find a bar with 8 open seats or something. I need…
Pilot Update: Dead
A month ago my wife started her 2005 Honda Pilot and shot sparks out from under the driver-side front tire. I smelled smoke and told her to shut it off. Couple weeks later it’s dead, so a new starter and battery go it, and I promptly smoke the starter. The engine is seized. No clue how it happened. I haven’t seen any…
Bad Picture of Good Cars
Caught an R32 in the wild at trivia night. Not shown: new awful yellow fog lights on my 6.
FYI, P/N BALM-66-122 is a turn signal stalk that will not cancel the turn signals on a 3rd gen Mazda6 with auto lights. You’ll want BALN-66-122. Ask me how I know.
It’s before 7AM and my current supervisor on loan from another state is singing songs from Les Mis at the top of his lungs. I’m hoping the 5" naval gun across the street is actually functional and can be aimed at my office trailers.
How Many of These Are There?
I keep seeing the Beasts but I can’t imagine they’re kept anywhere but the White House. A few weeks ago I saw them getting put through their paces around a coned parking lot. Presidential autocross, anyone?
keep flagging those comments because you’re mad and I’ll keep clearing them. Stop abusing the comment flagging system. You know who you are...

Rad as balls.
Forgot to Share This Gem
Yep. It’s a manual.
Oh Snap
Welp, it looks like she didn’t get a Trackhawk. Mom went with a 2018 Land Cruiser in blue. Sigh. At least she’ll be able to lift this. I give it 8 months until it gets knobby tires.
Fancified The Mazda 6 This Weekend
Installed the auto-dim frameless mirror, which is just stupid-fancy. I bet Homelink would be nice if I had an automatic garage door opener.
Trackhawk, in Rhino
I’ll find out next week if this is mom’s new car or not. She’s looking at a blue Land Cruiser on Saturday, but she’s damn near sold on a Trackhawk.
