I am genuinely sad to see Sir Frank and Claire leave the paddock. But here’s hoping that the team can claw their way back up the grid.

Michigan.

All of the sudden I’m in favor of open carry.

I am not smart enough to own a minivan. Instead I have a car that can’t be registered, an F150, and an Outback. So I’ll admit that I didn’t expect this review to appeal to me.

I love my Apple phones, but that’s as far as I want to get into their ecosystem. I don’t want their computers, I don’t want iTunes.

I think that’s a fair question, but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to global shipping, power generation, or even air travel.

They’ve never bothered me, and I would positively not kick one out of my garage for wearing them. 

A friend of mine has a bumper sticker that reads: OTHER PEOPLE EXIST.

While it does fit with Harley’s whole...thing, the fad in mountain bikes right now is for super loud freehubs. I know that they provide more points of engagement, but goddamn are they annoying.

There’s a small part of me that’s a bit smug about this. I haven’t watched the Dakar since it started sport-washing Saudi Arabia.

Interesting enough, I had a total failure of instruments and displays in my 2015 F150 recently. No indicator of any kind worked.

This is a fucking outrage. 

Only if it comes in brown, with a manual. 

Holy shit it’s the reincarnation of the Laforza. 

The sixth-gen Monte Carlo is a car I derive enjoyment from hating. I try very hard to play this game by the rules, but not today.

Open-cockpit, but not open-wheel. The camera car appears to be some sort of sports racer. It’s not at all surprising to see it mixing with other race cars. Looks like a practice session involving multiple classes or a track day. 

Pastor Maldonado’s desperation is just embarrassing at this point. 

I wonder if I can finally register my race car trailer this way. I have an open car-hauler I bought from a guy in MI. He was a fabricator and built it himself. Really very neat.

I rented a Duster for a week in Iceland two years ago. I loved that little thing. My wife asked me if I was having ‘an Oliver moment.’ Every so often I look back at pictures of it in my camera roll on my phone.

I compete in time trial, and instruct HPDE drivers. The more I learn about driving fast and teaching other people to, the more careful a driver it makes me on the road.
