In the future, all photos will include the photographer in the frame somewhere as the older generations that knew how to take photos with the camera pointed in the other direction die off, leaving behind people who have only ever used cameras for selfies.

The car is crack but the price seems pretty reasonable if you actually want to own one of these, so Nice Price if you've got a weird thing for awkwardly proportioned FWD convertible sports cars.

Dammit, where was that Mobile One deal a couple of weeks ago when I was doing two oil changes!?

It's a 1996 GT.

in case that was too obscure

Three words Sully.... "Six wheel drive"

That D3100 with the kit lens is all the camera you need for now and is really the last camera many people would ever need. Any DSLR is capable of taking outstanding photos. The expensive models don't necessarily take a better photo in terms of image off the sensor - mostly they add features and controls that make a

The Modular/Coyote engine family may not be without its compromises but there are few better sounding ways to turn gasoline into tire smoke.

Funny that you mention Porsche. They have as much a history as anyone with numeral names, from the very beginning - 356, 911, 912, 914, 924/944/968, 928, 930, 959, 951, even the Boxster is sometimes referred to as the 981. Their racecars are known by their project numbers. Their sub-models and platforms are known by

Coworker has a 4-door Wrangler and riding around at lunch time with no top and no doors is a fantastic experience.

I've seen a Slant-6 running on a stand at a flea-market with no oil pan and no coolant demonstrating some magic oil additive. Like it even needs some snake-oil oil additive to run in that state.

Wait, are you telling me all those house flipping shows produced right before the housing market crash that still play on endless loop on Saturday mornings are lying to me?

New and interesting music cannot be found through the traditional outlets anymore.

with a carb, yeah it would run rich, power would be soggy and your mileage would go down unless you retuned it to run like that. You often had to go in for a tune up when the seasons changed since carbs didn't compensate very well for changes in air density automatically.

It's tough to wrap your head around. The numbers don't really matter but lets say to overcome drag and rolling resistance and all the other parasitic losses you need 30HP to maintain 55 MPH on level ground. To generate that 30 HP your engine has to suck in a certain amount of oxygen to combine with fuel to make that

You still need rear wheels being driven. Unless you're doing reverse donuts... backwards donuts in a FWD car are awesome - the more front weight bias the better.

Don't worry, I've been preparing for that moment for 20 years. I'm going to need a shotgun.

I think remote start is the greatest thing since, well, the electric starter (it is life changing technology in the southeast in the summer) but there is no way I'd let the same monkeys who hack up radio and alarm installs anywhere near the power train control system of my car.

I just want to say that I grew up in the general DC area during Marion Barry's first reign and for a long time I though they were saying Mayor Mary and Barry on the news all the time and thought maybe they had husband and wife co-mayors.

I don't feel like doing math right now but it'd be interesting to work out how fast the car has to be moving vs. how fast the pitch must be thrown for the ball to travel the width of the car before the car travels the width of the window opening.
