Hmm, since you work in Oak Ridge I presume you are familiar with the Secret City? You working there means that all the secret/hidden stuff that interests me the most is likely old news to you. I’m trying to think of things that I had to find myself. If you want to get outside, head west on 62 and north on 27 and check…

Indeed you may! It has been about a decade since I lived there, but I still usually end up down there each fall. UT is doing a lot to spruce things up (Cumberland Ave aka the strip) and anytime, but especially on a game weekend, the Market Square district downtown is a fun, walkable place to be and eat. The nearby…

I’m quite late to the party, but more of my east TN family fought for the Union than the Confederacy and I have even seen documents of relatives making post-war claims concerning atrocities committed by the rebels. That was mostly Johnson County, but I have family from Mountain City to Bean Station to Clinton. You are…

Sorry for the slow response, but yes indeed Go Vols! ‘09

Cemetary Rock? Jailhouse Gates? Goddamn Hotel?

You’re the one! I remember the outrage and fury that the initial unveiling of your car created here, it was highly entertaining to someone like me who has other things to get fired up over. Beautiful car and yes, it is sacrilegious, but with that engine it is so perfectly sacrilegious that I can’t help but love it.

Reading this, I couldn’t help but see the Mustang puffing up like the cat in the heavy breathing gif. This is my favorite Mustang comment of the week, thank you!

Where at in East TN? Awesome story, and one that I can absolutely visualize.

Their slaves indentured servants migrant workers are not necessarily of the same religious persuasion.

Ah, it’s a pleasure to make the acquaintance of a fellow VFL! I was class of ‘09 so obviously not the best time from a football standpoint, I won 2nd row 50 yard line tix thru the student lottery for the chance to watch Jay Cutler complete a game winning bomb right in front of me in the first Vandy victory in decades…

I am somewhat disappointed there was not an irate sea of PC “I will defend every random person/group that I have read about on jeze-gawker and have decided you are disparaging against” internet warriors.

Like 360ad said, you have to consider the times. Hell, women were lucky they were allowed to buy a car back then, much less one as sleek, sporty, and woman-fitting as this.

More like a lover of birds. The Crown, the Brow, the Beak, the Throat....those are all in order, too.

Someone must have been a big Charlie the Unicorn fan. Candy Mountain! Candy Mountain!

+1 I literally do this in my truck almost every day. Damn near makes it worth being the last one out by itself.

Don’t forget sinkholes.

You have a very fair point when it comes to both endurance races and using a controller instead of a wheel, as these two factors would indeed raise my pucker factor to “chocolate starfish” level. I wouldn’t even attempt such a thing with a controller nowadays because without a good wheel I’d probably make it a couple…

Which Grid did you play? If I’m not in the mood for a driving sim, Grid Autosport can really hit the spot when it comes to having a chill, frustration free drive.

The original Dirt game was a revelation to me. I can safely say that the early Dirts are vastly more relaxed and intuitive experiences than Dirt Rally, which is not to say they are arcade experiences but rather that they are not quite so.....hostile :) You are correct though, you can get the Dirt games on sale on…

Aside from the game running like choppy & laggy dog turds since the recent major update, this is possibly my biggest pet peeve with Dirt Rally. I know vehicular manslaughter is bad, I don’t need another time penalty on top of the wreck that just caused me to “bad touch” one of the pedestrians in the first place. Of…
