World of Speed 2016
Guess who has 1.5 thumbs, a lack of self-preservation, and is going to be running at the World of Speed next month on the salt?
I will be very unproductive today. UPDATE!
The main server where I work is down and has been down since I came in this morning a couple hours ago. There is no time table for it to come back online because out IT is, well, terrible. My boss by and suggested we clean/organize our cubes. My desk is completely empty 90% of the time and currently has five pieces of…
Worth a re-read
Chris Harris is good. Really good.
I will not be productive today.
Taking Monday off for my first track day on the Daytona. Cycleword teases with a shoot-out featuring the Panigale 959. It’s Friday. I will not be productive.
Oppo Review: 2016 Toyota Tacoma
The Only Tacoma Review You Shouldn’t Read!
Unpopular Opinion
I believe we all hold dear an unpopular automotive opinion. Maybe you secretly caress your CRZ in your garage every night.
Engineering, MBA, and the GMAT
I’ve been thinking about getting an MBA lately, so this morning I took the GMAT test. The GMAT test is required for admission into MBA programs where the degrees aren’t found in a box of Lucky Charms. Below is a synopsis of my results, confirming what the world already knows.
Are they hunting us now?
They have moved from crowds to targeting individuals. They are evolving. The person was hurt but not severely and will recover, feel free to make all the Mustang jokes.
I can't even.
That moment when you are a few weeks out from having your design TA’d and you get a nine page email from the client asking why can’t we change everything and still meet the deadline and budget.
Taco, you have some splainin' to do...
I recently bought a 2016 Tacoma. Review coming shortly, I promise. For anyone considering a used Taco vs new Taco, keep in mind I paid ~32,000 for a brand new truck. Here is a similar truck - mine was a TRD Sport, this is a TRD Off-Road - that is two years old and has 30K more miles than my truck.
Taco Review forthcoming. What do you really want to know about it?
I’ve been living with my new Tacoma for a few months now. I’ve had some considerable seat time and almost 4,000 miles in 3 months. I want to do a review but something different. Most reviews only get a few hours of seat time over the course of a few days. I want to do mine from a living with it basis. I put my own…
Are there any tire experts in the house?
After skimming Tom’s article on the FP which lead to a TorqueNews link about run flats and repairs, it got me thinking about my last flat tire.
About this "real truck" thing.... This rant, is going to be long.
Fair warning this is going to wander a bit. Also, language. You’ve been warned.

That moment when your first ever design in the real world works as you designed it to.
I have a confession to make........
I hate my commute. I loathe my commute. Alas, I’m too cheap to move closer to work, home equity is a good things folks. I really love my bike. Like conjugal a visit with Christy Mack, Jenna Haze, and Lisa Ann at the same time, love. I have feelings, deep seated feelings that cannot be explained by logic.
Why? Because I can.
For some reason I really enjoy hypermiling my truck. Something about making it do something it was never designed for is oddly satisfying. I reached a new personal record yesterday. I briefly saw 27.6 for my average tank fuel mileage.

So, um, yeah. Lanesplitter is now Sean-less.
Lets play a little game
I rented a car this week for work. I went to the counter and the friendly customer service person asked if I had a preference on which car I wanted. The following is an excerpt of our conversation:
Possible HCCI breakthrough? Calling all oppo Mech. Enginerds!
