You really get it down to the brass tacks

The Golden Hellephant, the chariot of an angry god

Or, heaven forbid, Birmingham. People would drop their lattes in shock and desperately try to hide their Rolexes

Can we call the first build that uses this engine, “Hannibal"?

Better hope it doesn't become the official vehicle of the NFL, or there'll be some real awkward conversations

Christmas Eve 1998: I’m given an Atomic Purple Game Boy Color and Pokemon Red. What memories and adventures that started.

You are in the wrong corner of the Internet if you want to be persuaded out of Doing The Thing.

At this point, considering Elon is an anime fan, can we admit he may be getting some ideas from eX-Driver?

THIS is what Harley needs. What every motorcycle manufacturer needs. Stylish, reliable, and CHEAP. Getting people into showrooms is one thing, but a low cost-barrier of entry is absolutely vital.

eX-Drivers, duh.

When I was shopping/fantasizing about my first car, an MGB GT was on my list.

Best of luck, sir! Whatever happens, you’re an inspiration to the rest of us

...dammit, I thought I’d cured myself of Mini mania!

You're really keeping an ear to the ground on this

I always love hearing about these tales of engineering. Thermo was one of my favorite classes
