I feel like late 90s Ferraris are all unfairly maligned. They were just *pretty*. I hate not just post-Pininfarina, but also post-Enzo (the car) Ferrari designs when Ferraris started to slip back in to *notice me* shouty designs. I must be the only person who didn’t like the 360 to F430 transition, for example. Oh and…

I’ve never thought of using it as a dipping sauce, but they’re good all the same. It’s called “chicken-moo (radish)”, which is a dead simple pickle with just salt, sugar, and vinegar that you get at every single fried chicken place in Korea.

Thank you for the breakdown (not for me but for others!) because it midly annoys me whenever I see “Korean BBQ” flavor and it inexplicably has sriracha or tamarind. It’s become a nebulous shorthand for vaguely soy sauce or gochujang-esque flavoring that big American companies are pushing. Nothing new I suppose. It’s…

A part of me is like “man I suppose they can’t invest too much into designing new lighting units for few-off restomods” but a whole lot of them look so incredibly cheap and off the shelf, especially considering the price tag.

Damn. I don’t know how successful those C12s and C16s were, but the concept of Vettes with boutique bodywork was always so appealing to me. Here’s the man himself at a Cars & Coffee event from many years ago.

While it’s too early to assume how the actual competition livery for this thing will look in the World Endurance Championship or IMSA, it’s already separated itself from the pack by being mostly green.

I do love it when vegan/vegetarian alternative for a typically meat-central dish takes a massive swerve. My favorite vegetarian burger remains Shake Shack’s shroom burger that’s juicy portobello stuffed with a fuckton of cheese panko’d and deep fried. Nothing like beef, but that’s ok. In fact, better than ok because I…

I admit to eating the overstuffed ravioli quite frequently, often with a heap of hot sauce splashed on it, but I did not know there were so many types of Chef Boyardee products out there. I only come across like 5 at the can aisle. 

Whatever hides the vast swathe of false grille outline.

Love the vaguely Group C-esque proportions.

After about two decades of car manufacturers and production designers abusing honeycomb, especially as plastic filler for fake vents and cutouts, I just associate the pattern with cheap texture now. Should’ve kept the bumpy surfacing on the antlers and made the stripes flat again.

TIL teams can add extra cars and drivers at Indy 500 which seems... very strange to this non-Indy watcher. 

Chances are he won’t get “up to 20 years” of incarceration, but intentionally crashing a plane with significant amount of fuel into the wilderness is a big fucking deal in a state - which at the time - was in extreme drought conditions (red flag fire warning on the date the crash happened lol), especially in an area…

Not the only condom brand to adorn a race car, but Excita made the most of Keke Rosberg’s Chevron B39, which sometimes had a little nub at the front. Very pink. Very silly, esp when paired with Rosberg’s big bushy mustache.

There’s been rumors about his dad routing $$$ through middle east to invest in a new F1 team (btw I can’t find anything about his “99 Racing” team that he currently drives for in Asian LMS), but with FIA insisting on manufacturer works team entry, I’m not sure that will happen, and I doubt anyone else will ever let…

No more Audi R8, no more Audi R8 LMS. I don’t see another non-electric halo car coming from Audi that could serve as the base for a GT race car. Audi also already retired RS5 DTM when DTM switched to GT3 specs, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m of course complaining about a free update, but I wish they’d have a more themed batches of updates instead of a random mishmash of cars each month. It’d be nice if they’d have a couple of months dedicated to a single class of cars, like newer GT3 (Gr. 3) cars since most race cars in this game are outdated, etc.…

Either the animators were massive racing fans or at least they extensively studied racing footage.

There was a racing anime called Cyber Formula that I used to watch as a kid that first started off as a spiritual sequel to Mach Go Go Go / Speed Racer, but quickly became a serious sport anime for young adults then straight up adults, and it taught me about concepts such as different disciplines, race formats,…

I should not be reminded of the melty 90s Taurus when I’m looking at a $60+ Benz in 2023.
