Gotta agree with you on this. The E36 M3 sedan is just so... right. I love them. 

Tesla drivers are largely a self-fellating bunch, so I don’t know how well they’re going to take to a machine doing it for them.

Unfortunately, from what I’ve seen, it’s a lot of dinguses with no trail etiquette or much in the way of respect for nature. 

Same story up here in Oregon. One one hand, it’s great to see people out on their bikes and whatnot, but on the other hand, you can tell that a lot of these people haven’t ridden a bike in a long time if ever. I see people riding down the middle of my one-way street in the wrong direction every single day (despite…

I have a Peugeot pepper mill and a matching salt grinder. I’ve had them since 2003 and they’re still my favorite kitchen tools.

I'm so fuckin boring.

Huh... So, slicks are useless in the snow. I never would have guessed. 

I don't mind this. It looks better than that ugly ass Rokit livery. That said, Williams really hit their peak from a livery standpoint with the Martini livery a few years back. I thought that car looked fantastic. 

You've obviously been to Corona. 

I had a B6 A4 which also had the rear fog light. If I remember correctly, you had to pull the light switch out to the first detent to get the front fogs, and pull all the way to get both (I think that’s how it worked - it’s been a long time). So I could see how someone would just yank the switch all the way, thinking…

You have a good point. I'll just shut up and enjoy the ride. 

No question - it’s stupid and it’s bad design. I guess I just feel like there’s a lot more important shit to be concerned about.

This drives me fucking insane. And it's almost always an Audi in my experience. I actually like the idea of the rear fog light, but nobody seems to know how to use them. 

Well, I’ve owned 14 cars, and 11 of them have been manual so, yeah.

Last I checked, you have to apply the brakes to shift into reverse, at least with an automatic transmission - a feature with which 90+ percent of the cars in the mall parking lot are equipped. If I see a car with reverse lights and brake lights lit, that tells me that they’ve shifted into reverse and are getting ready…

Are the brake lights on?

I agree with you on this. The PNW has a ton of cool shit. I also love Vancouver - lots of awesome JDM stuff, plus a lot of people with a lot of money. Makes for an interesting mix of cars. Down here in Portland, we have some interesting cars, but they tend to skew more quirky than exotic. You guys have a similar level…

I own a Lexus and I was not aware of this secret competition. I’m not old, I’m not rich, and I hate golf, so maybe that’s why I haven’t gotten my invite?

Huh... that’s.... not really that impressive. Not bad, but not very interesting. 

Yeah, I never really got closer than about 20-30 feet from one of the trucks, but even from that distance, you could see how the turbine blades had a pretty complex shape. It’s hard to get a feeling for how friggin massive those things are when they’re installed a couple hundred feet in the air, so it's cool to see…
