I just read this to try and understand the complex logistics that goes along with shows and it’s really impressive. I would like to know more about the instruments and set up she does. I only play in the underground scene and all places have gear to use so set up abs transitions are quick. As for transportation, most…

No love for my BMW’s 5spd? I’ll accept turn signal labels as an apology. 

I work at a private international school overseas and our school busses have seat belts for the children as well as a bus monitor on each bus. The students know the rules and are taught to be respectful for the equipment.

A lot of my friends were at that race and one of my chat groups got a hold of the onboard footage from car 17. I have no idea how to share it but you can see he just gets by safely on the outside of that gif and in the footage I saw about after dodging debris and going around another corner. just seconds later he…

I didn’t realize it was so hard. I grew up overseas and by the time I was ready to get my US license I was at an age where all I had to do was pass the written test, obtain a learners permit and then a few weeks later take the road test.

I’ve retold this story a few times but it still has meaning. When I was about 16 we lived in Taiwan and had brought the 91 Honda Accord with us. My dad took me and the dog to a parking lot outside of Taipei to do some practice but all I did was give us all whip lash.

My childhood neighborhood consisted of a Chevy Astrovan (beautiful teal, and had a CD player! Listening to the lion king sound track while me friends parents took us to the movies was a highlight of 6th grade) a few Pontiac Grand Prix, Buick Rivera (with the CRT and digital displays, that was high tech!), IROC Camaro…

Glad I’m not the only one. So many people are astonished that I, a musician, don’t like the Beatles. I’ve got nothing against them, just their sound doesn’t do anything for me. 

I was always partial to the full blue plate. When I was little I always used crayons to give my toy cars a license plate from the home state. Kids can’t do that anymore with the small details in new plates. But come full circle, now I live abroad and my car here has a blue plate with nothing but white numbers, so I’m…

I’m sad to hear that. I daily drive my 5th gen and absolutely love it. I appreciate the 6th gen for being better in many ways but it never appealed to me the way mine did when I bought it nearly 10 years ago. I think they tried too hard on the styling. Camaros in the past have always been rather simple designs with…

My dad was a high school teacher and I fondly remember when we would pack our Toyota van with his students and go to see hockey games or wrestling matches in the late 80s. We probably had about 10 students or so and once we got back from Detroit it was like 3am. I couldn’t see teachers doing this in the states…

I am a super nostalgic and love things from my youth but I wouldn’t consider buying a Toyota van. We had a brown 1985 automatic with O/D model. Dealer installed air conditioning for the back and little Jephy got to control the A/C. I only had good memories and it never once broke down except when my mom forgot to turn…

So sad and so true. My wife drives a Jetta and I drive a Camaro. She thinks my car isn’t practical. I wear thrift shop clothes and she often wears designer clothes- but I couldn’t tell you what brand! 

My Camaro on its stock tires is awful and nearly uncontrollable with anything more that 1/2 inch of snow, but my Z4 on all season tires is amazing, even with the lack of ABS and traction control. It’s like a happy puppy smashing through snow drifts and plowing the road (because it’s about 3 inches off the pavement.) Pe…

I feel like I’ve been a responsible modder. After I reached a certain age I’ve looked into, read online and more or less did a lot of research before changing something and I’m happy with my two cars.

Those rims look like they came from a Lego Technic set. I’m not complaining.

I have a friend who says the same thing when we are skateboarding. He never does “one last” anything before we leave the parks. I still haven’t learned and always do one last anything…

While I am not an audiophile I do appreciate it when something sounds good. I’ll never forget the joy I experienced after buying my first pair of quality headphones and realizing there were melodies and harmonies in some of my favorite songs that I never hear before. Still, I use a (higher end) Bluetooth receiver to…

That puts things in perspective very well for me. We had a couple of 95 Accords and I grow up looking at that dash. I had to do a reread the title because I assumed that car was from the 80’s. The airbag should have reminded me though. What a difference there was. Even our 91 Accord feels so much more modern after…

My wife and I are liking this car more and more. My 5th gen Camaro is starting to get up there in years and I see a lot of similarities between the two. Heavy, probably hard to see out of and not practice- but I made a promise never to compromise when I buy a car. First thing  I would replace the side markers with…
