So it’s Rogue One of the Apes...

My bad. I’m over here ruining that Jalopnik exclusive money. ;)

Pikes Peak aero in a nutshell: ALL OF THE DOWNFORCE

Search Twitter for “Robb Holland Pikes Peak”

It didn’t have any decals when it went through tech and the only stickers I’ve seen in photos after are from products installed on this monster. No Jalopnik bump, looks like. :(

Looking forward to watching the live stream on Sunday. Good to see that you *SPOILER* were middle of the class in qualifying, especially considering what the car has gone through. Will be rooting from Texas.

I spent three months as a Walmart cashier recently because reasons. A ton of people (especially non-English speakers) still pay with cash and they pay with big bills. On a weekend, each register could easily have a couples thousand dollars inside before they start pulling the cash at the end of the night.

I have to defend the practice because I do it myself. I have a stack of Blipshift shirts and not all of them are dumb jokes. I don’t own a Corvette (loved them my whole life but spent money in other ways instead of buying a barely-running C4 as a 20-something) but I do have several Corvette t-shirts. I even have those…

NBC appreciates the free marketing.

Uh... hi... did you ever watch Top Gear?

Funny. It takes most Chevrolets half as long just to have one burn out.

Meh. Forza for me hits in that happy middle ground. If I wanted a full on physics sim, I’d buy a wheel and pedal rig. I don’t have the time to invest to be even serviceable in one of those “ultra-realistic” racing sims. I’m happy to sit down in my recliner, pop the game in, and do a few laps in a 1960s F1 car just for…

I just never have been a fan of 60 fps in anything. Motion is a bit jarring and that’s cranked up to 11 in a racing game because it’s non-stop motion. Guess I’m not meant for this new SUPER HIGH DEFINITION world.

When I worked in newspapers there was always parents who called in about their kid’s little league, summer basketball, tennis, soccer, whatever team that had won some random 8U tournament in [insert small city here] that was calling itself Such-and-Such NATIONALS. Of course these NATIONAL tournaments only ever had…

I grew up in the northern Panhandle. After college I spent 3 1/2 years in SE New Mexico, just 90 minutes from Lubbock. Even I think it’s a shithole.

These are all terrible.

My in-laws’ neighbor called animal control on us after one of my dogs bit him. Fuck that guy.

For most of our marriage, my wife has said she feels like renting is throwing money away when you can spend a similar amount on a mortgage (this is a laughable statement on its own, but I digress). After our A/C went out for the second time in a year of renting this place over the weekend, she said to me, “It’s a good…

Let’s be honest, this is just very expensive [barrel] role playing. The lack of 1:3 scale fire trucks shows this group isn’t really committed to the lifestyle.

Lots of footage of plane in air, well framed shot of plane going down, lingering on burning wreckage instead of ending the film. This is very good RC crash footage. 12/10 would watch again.
