See the first Fast and the Furious movie. All time bad dialogue and terrible, terrible acting, but it was really fun.

I’m fascinated by the thought process that led to “No one could possibly be interested in any of the actual characters from the game; we’d better throw in some generic white guy as the main character.” Plus, if you’re determined to do that for some reason, Curtis Stryker is right there.

That’s the kind of thing you do during one of the big Muslim holiday things when everyone is doing something else and not paying much attention. You do it at night, after you’ve been stuck for at least a few months.

“SCA, Ever Given requesting permission to re-enter the channel”

What would make someone want to do this, I wonder? Just a powerful, fuck it, I’ve always wanted to try it urge? Maybe they really, really had to pee? A grim and steadfast refusal to let some stupid bridge tell you what to do? Just being from Florida?

Ill drive anything that can handle, accelerate out of its own way, and have the range to get where I need to go and back

There’s a place near me that does roulette wings, where you get nine hot wings and one super hot wing. I tried it once with a friend and it ended up playing us both because the very last wing we ate was the super-spicy one (he got it). But until then, as we ate we each kept saying “You know, I think the wing I ate befo…

This would be reverse roulette for me because I would enjoy 1 in every 6 of them whereas the other five would taste like dirty gym socks to me.

It took me all this time to realize the Spoon front bumper is trying to mimic the SSM Concept headlights.

I had one of the first S2000s that arrived in my state. Most of my memories of it are fond. It had perhaps the best transmission of any car I’ve ever driven, and the 9000 RPM rev limit was exhilarating. I think, on balance, I would have preferred the later version with the slightly-larger engine and a smidge more…

Counterpoint: Safari 86 would be the most interesting vehicle Toyota has produced in decades.

Yea, this doesn’t pass the smell test. It may be delayed because Toyoda decided, a year ago, that they wanted to make changes. The BRZ starts production in a few months; the suppliers have been tooled up for production parts for the BRZ for months now. They are way beyond recently deciding to make substantial changes.…

In another picture you can still read “Jucy” on the back of the tent.

People look at you funny in the parking lot though.

Looks like this is a former Jucy rental (in one picture you can even see the signature green wrap). About five years ago our family of four actually rented one in Las Vegas and we went on a nice road trip through Nevada, Arizona and California. They are not bad for the purpose and after the trip we decided to buy a…

I enjoyed more than most movies about actual racing.

to all the people sucking Elon’s dick in the comments: Jalopnik reports on Tesla’s FSD failures because TESLA MARKETS THEIR VEHICLES AS SELF DRIVING. If Tesla didnt advertise their vehicles as self driving, this wouldn't be a problem.

what the hell is going on? Like, this didn’t happen in the 90s when thumbsticks were a new thing, why’s this happening now?

i’ve had this discussion with a few shops:

Most places won’t install customer-supplied parts. Can’t say I blame them, either, as much as I’d be happy to not pay a shop’s markup on parts.
