Hear me out on this one.... We need to rebuild cars from the ground up, basically. However, some people don’t want anything special at all... Why waste time designing the Camry of the future when we can just stick those people in the Camry of today and get on with the fun stuff for ourselves as they drive far, far…

I’m guessing those are temporary. They probably just added hydraulics and set it up for knock-offs, so these are a placeholder.

Any chance you guys will be showing up at other events in the future? I’m sure a few writers have been at the Petit Le Mans at the same time as me, but I haven’t had the chance to meet one.

Eleven.

If you’re a man, you only like cars to impress women. And if you’re a woman, you don’t really like cars at all; you’re just lying to impress men.

What about pickups? Specifically car-based ones like the Ranchero, Caddy, and El Camino.

I was hoping for a People-Behaving-Badly-style video...

Last time I went to one, there was one guy who would have been alone in his class, so they gave him first prize and let him run with the class above him. So, of course, he was slower than everyone else. When it came time for him to get lapped, some asshole intentionally caused him to fishtail into the wall, likely…

Or avoid the turn 10 terraces and spectator hill. Set up between the first turn and the esses. Hardly anyone goes there, and turn 3 has a couple port-a-potties just ten feet from the track, so you can feel the vibrations of the engines while you poop. That’s not necessarily a good thing, but it’s definitely an…

Stay away from spectator hill. People ignore the “no tents” rule and intentionally stand in front of the people who were smart enough to bring chairs. It’s a clusterfuck of clueless assholes there.

My personal favorite spot is between turns 3 and 4. You can see cars getting on two wheels, spinning into the grass,…

There’s a video that I don’t recommend watching. It shows a bike bouncing 15-20’ in the air and coming down directly onto at least one person. It’s a freak accident for sure, and I’m not sure there’s much that can be done to prevent it in the future.

Don’t ever trust a shop that’s run by middle-school dropouts.

Undercoating. Nearly every new car is already rust-proofed and stuff right from the factory. Don’t let the dealer charge you extra to do it wrong, and potentially void part of your warranty in the process.

“Car” comes from “carriage” which is a four-wheeled vehicle designed to carry things or people.

Why?

We should have root beer filled bumpers. Getting in a crash sucks, but that way, at least you get free root beer.

I think #9 should have gotten the top slot. Show it to anyone at all and they’ll recognize it as “the Need For Speed car.”

One time, a cop was directing traffic since the power went out. The lights came back on, but he didn’t notice and kept his hand up at me. Since I had the green and cross traffic was stopping for the light, ignoring the cop, I went ahead through. He yelled and pointed at me, then noticed the light and just walked back…

Yes- they could use a real skateboard.

That should be a new thing. If anyone is caught doing something dumb: “Oh, Eric!”
