That sounds memorable.  The closest I ever came to that was a ridealong in a Porsche GT3, which was epic except for the part where we weren’t catching the guy in the Mitsubishi Evo.

Sometimes when I have a tough parenting day I think about the cars I could have purchased for what I’ve spent on my kids... 

Revelatory advice. Pretty sure he can afford it and is just chronicling his costs because it’s an interesting thing to read about.

My doctor assured me that I will never have to worry about this.

It was 110 pounds per hour, I converted to USD for us dummy Americans. Yes, it was an indy shop, and yes, it was cheap. 

Right? You can just leave a car unattended in the garage for days at a time and the police don’t even bat an eye.

Pfft. Try raising a 10-year old.

Putin is emboldend now that he won the US presidency .

We are about to find out what the U.S. will look like when you allow the inmates to run the asylum. We got a little taste of it during the first Trump presidency, but nothing like what we are about to experience in the next few years. Buckle up America, because the billionaire class is done pretending and is about to…

Sowing chaos in the free world is Putin’s goal. Anything and everything that makes our lives harder, creates mass migration or pain is his M.O. FFS, Brexit was his doing and the EU’s sudden rise of Putin aligned candidates is his dark money’s results. Frederick Pohl had all this figured out decades ago when he wrote…

This is something a lot of folks just don’t get. The proxy war in Ukraine isn’t really about Ukraine - I personally couldn’t care less WHO Putin invaded; it’s incumbent on the civilized world to beat him down for it so he doesn’t do it again.

Chaos goblins. Anything that destabilizes Western society is a benefit to them, especially if it’s in non-traditional, asymmetrical fronts that can’t be tied directly back to them so they can abuse plausible deniability. Chew and fray away the edges of society, and eventually it will unravel, and they’ll be there to…

If anyone thinks they do not feel empowered now after the US election - have another drink. You do one thing to bullies - Beat the living funk out of them and you continue to the  next one. Zero mercy at all.

This is what’s hilarious to me. When I was a kid my dad had a couple 18x24 magnetic signs for the doors of his truck, for when he needed to look official. And everyone understood that, yeah, duh, of course he’s not getting logos painted on his personal truck- the only people who do that are hillbillies who only have…

What I was thinking - magnetic labels/signs would’ve been fine, right?

There’s also a lot in my industry on making sure that the adhesives don’t have chlorides. It’s sort of funny to tell people you need to get nuclear certified Duct Tape, but it’s a thing to have the paperwork showing the adhesives won’t damage the stainless steel.

“All of them are fully covered with wraps promoting their/their companies’ businesses.”

Anode you were being serious...iron gunna argue with yer facts.  

Get out of here and take your well-developed understanding of physics with you, this is Trump’s America now. Those aren’t stains. They’re MAGA Marks, they’re supposed to be there, and anyone who doesn’t have them is a beta cuck or whatever they like to call everyone they don’t like these days.

Metallurgists call it corrosion resistant steel, not stainless, which was more of a trade name for high chromium steel.
