I loved this livery because I got to go to a ton of races in the west coast because these guys kept me working with them.  I was terribly sad to see Kia stop racing.

When the 4th gens hit the road when I was a kid they were super cool.  I always wanted a white with red seats.  Then I grew up and found out the awful truth.  Still want one.  Therapy has not solved this issue yet.

GW Bush did an arrested landing on a fucking aircraft carrier, that shit was boss as hell. Not that I’m a fan or anything, but that’s not for the faint of heart. It also gave us the best fucking failure picture ever.

Suzuki built a variable shape intake manifold and have a valve that would increase or decrease the length based on RPM.  It worked really well to give the car a bit more power as it was slow with all the weight and AWD.  When it broke it sucked because you were gutless on one side of the RPM range.  I believe others…

Most of the time tax evasion or under reporting are handled a bit more hands off and usually result in fines.  It those that really fight a losing battle or go full Leona Helmsley when it comes to the tax man.  It’s about severity when it comes to how its handled.  I mean Nicolas Cage dodged $24 million and only got…

Very true, there could be a number of crimes when looked at in totality mean that jail time might be the right course.  Also this could be grandstanding by the Japanese prosecutors office to get a quick settlement.  

First off Patrick, dick move posting this picture as it still stings all these years later.  Second, YES!  Lets update and get this out to market stat!  Also can we get a new Frontier while we are at it?

Two parts, one is avoiding taxes and second is showing a lower income expected by Japanese culture. Japanese companies typically have low wages for CEOs and Chairmans, many make less than $1.1 Million, anything over has to be publicly reported with correct expense accounting. It is odd that he was arrested for it…

If Stef comes through for us that video is going to get millions of views.

Its split really. Half are buying in what Tiny Hands is selling and hitching their wagon to his fail train. The other half are moving independent and hoping for a 2020 challenger.  Its sad either way you look at it.

The question is now in CA45 does the mail in count give way to a Katie Porter win?  

I love hybrids and electrics now, also I am leaning towards a truck for my next project vehicle.  Never really was into trucks but now that I do more photography it would be helpful for getting to some areas to do nature shots.  

This is too true, I work at a healthcare company, and although the pay can vary depending on the company most are competitive right now. But the future of the US is SHIT work for the most part. That’s why I stayed in IT rather than shift. I had a better chance of getting into management doing SHIT work. But hey I…

I left a large global software company for my current gig because of pay and benefits.  Most people in the area know of the business and it has a good footprint in most countries in the Americas.  There is a whole team of recruiters working to fill positions I talke with once or twice a week trying to find people.  I…

And they weren’t expecting this? This is not Suzuki circa 2012 were the larger corporation is doing okay but your region is not. This is a WHOLE company with years of high profile failures, money problems, and a current fight to GIVE BACK investor money. That’s not even considering the numerous lawsuits or empty top…

I hired someone that was doing a career change from being a bus driver to IT in his late 30's. My other hire was just let go with no warning against CA law because the new owners of the company are moving all jobs to some midwest state immediately. There were no special requirements other than work history and that I…

I have little sympathy for anyone involved with Faraday Future. It was clear a couple years ago this was not going well and they were most likely headed for a bad end. I know a couple people that jumped early seeing the writing on the wall. Others were warned but persisted.

We need more unibody small trucks here in the US.  Make one a hybrid while your at it to score some green cred buyers. But really I think there is a bit of a market for them but companies don’t want to kill the larger truck sales.

Self inflicted gunshot wound to the head after years of burying the emotional tool of a now terrible marriage I can’t seem to want to escape catches up with me. On top of that there is always the dark specter of my time in the military creeping up on me and striking at the wrong moment telling me to join my brothers…

Still a dream car for me to own. This car made me really fall in love with Alfa Romeo even though I know they will be unreliable piles of self hate.  But they look so good.
