Where do I even begin with this pandering “lifestyle piece”?

It would seem like that at first, but if a smart fighter gets ahold of the “chin strap” portion of the helmet, he’s got complete control of helmetboy’s head and can whip him around like a rag doll and snap his neck in two in an instant.

That would have been near impossible to stick that landing (unless you’re a professional stuntcyclist.) The severe angle of the bike combined with the body position of the rider and his trajectory make it very unlikely.

Some good sarcasm here, but damn if this isn’t the modern day 944. (the BRZ in general, not the “yellow” series.)

I’m truly not trying to be combative, but two things:

Yeah, I thought that was so strange. Maybe some old 2 door G-wagons I could see, but the Jeeps?! Nice.

Funny.

ding Ding DING!!! This! I recently finished a job with a phenomenal view, 12 stories up, very near where the 405 meets the 10 in Los Angeles. To those outside of LA, this is a MAJOR traffic area and I could pretty much look straight down on traffic at multiple times during the day. And I had the exact same reaction.…

No one has ever thought that any generation older than them “gets them.” By the time you’re in charge, the people younger than you will think you have no idea what you’re doing, even if you’ve worked in the biz for 20+ years.

While in Florida, my folks were involved in a minor traffic collision which was clearly not their fault. The whole time, the Florida Highway officer was rude to them, calling them “Yankees” and saying things like, “When you heading back up north?” “In 2 days.” “Not soon enough in my book.”

Regarding people who scooch over, I do the valley to Culver City 405 commute and found surprisingly 2 types of vehicles who move over more often than others. The first isn’t much of a surprise, it’s pick up trucks. Despite them often being douche-y drivers in general, many I assume also own bikes and will move over…

Round these parts, paint it brown, offer in manual, call it The Toyota Shooting Load.

Very cool! Would love to drive one of these some day (even a repro). Must be amazing.

The GT40 - right hand drive. Am I seeing this right - the shifter is still to the right of the driver? Wow, I’d like to see the linkage on that going to the transmission. I wonder how it feels - direct feel or sort of sloppy?

Honestly, I know a lot of people who cross shop ALL makes of EVs/electrics. I think your post is more about your dislike of people who would choose a BMW over a Chevy. Then again, you used the word “yuppy” so, that pretty much covers that.

Yes, so next time, instead of saying “American muscle cars are great for racing, ...” could you please be more specific and say something more like “American 2 door coupes from 1964-1972 with high performance v-8s, including pony cars, but not so much land barges such as Pontiac LeMans (well except maybe the ones with…

I agree. Just sounds fishy when they don’t give any potential cause of death.

Yeah, a 48 year old man and a 19 year old man were found dead in a camper at a race - no foul play. Probably just natural causes and they happened to be in the same camper at the same race. Sounds good.

If only the F-O-R-D logo on the grill could be just a little bigger.
