I hope Discovery network has put a couple hundred million in escrow for the inevitable lawsuits that are going to come from their promotion of a blatently dangerous and illegal activity. It makes wonder what show concepts they turned down...TONIGHT it’s ”Random Machine Gun Fire!” Discovery’s all new hit show where…

They didn’t ask for 300 Bitcoins. They asked for “$300 worth of Bitcoins. $300 worth of Bitcoins = $300.00.

Fuck lanesplitters only if you’re formally engaged. Lanesplitting is safe, is legal in Cali now and will be in more states soon, and it’s good for everyone because it reduces the number of vehicles and people wasting time and fuel in heavy traffic. The only downside to lanesplitting is crybabies who feel “cheated”…

The last time HD bought an Italian motorcycle company they paid hundreds of millions for MV Agusta and then sold it back to the original owners for $1. They’ve been doing ok expanding their line and market with their India-built “Street” line of bikes. They should stop there.

I’ve been hearing the “sediment theory” for years, and it’s horseshit. Every time you drive, the gas in the tank is sloshing around, up and down, side to side. Any particulates are going to be thoroughly mixed into the fuel. Baffles in the tank may reduce the fuel’s motion somewhat, but it will still move more than…

The cutaway engines and transmission look beautiful. Seeing cutaways as a kid is a big part of why I’m a car, bike, and mechanical stuff in general fan as an adult. I never found an opportunity to take my son to an event where cutaways and other mechanical engineering were on display. He’s not interested in anything…

There’s nothing better than a full-floater rear when you’ve got nine inches.

I was at Bennett Auto Supply last Saturday to get a set of plugs znd wires for the MX-5. Their store brand was $32, the NGK brand set was $48. The counter clerk brought both out, and I couldn’t find any difference. However, the NGK wires are a spiffy blue color, so I bought them.

It’s the BLIMP! Frank, it’s the BLIMP! It’s the BLIMP! Frank, it’s the BLIMP! It’s the BLIMP! Frank, it’s the BLIMP! It’s the BLIMP! Frank, it’s the BLIMP! It’s the BLIMP! Frank, it’s the BLIMP! It’s the BLIMP! Frank, it’s the BLIMP!
It’s the BLIMP! Frank, it’s the BLIMP! It’s the BLIMP! Frank, it’s the BLIMP! It’s…

I know exactly what you mean by “irrationally angry.” We all know human beings are subjected to torture and death every day. But having it happen in a modern, first-world workplace is appalling. What the fuck is wrong with Audi? They should fire every single person involved. The man’s family should sue them for actual…

I’m wondering why you suggest working from the bottom up. I do the opposite. My logic is that this way the water and soap are moving in the same direction I’m washing, down. Also, the “bottom” parts; wheels, engine, chain area, etc., are dirtier than the rest of the bike and should be done last to avoid contaminating…

This is a beautiful and amazing car. I got to poke around one at the 24 Hours of Daytona. But the original GT competed at the highest level at Le Mans, and won. This GT does not.

I love the new, new Top Gear. The team of Matt, Chris, and Rory really click. Bravo!

Someone needs to clue Automotive News in on the public menace presented by Mustangs at Cars and Coffee events. Whatever threat the Demon SRT poses trifles in comparison.

To quote perhaps the greatest cyclist of all time:”I meant to do that.” (Pee-Wee Herman circa 1990)

Aside from the really obvious stuff like “wear a helmet,” this is THE best advice I’ve seen for new riders. This is also the first time I’ve seen it published. I spent a year, 2004 to 2005, selling Harleys when people would wait in line to buy one. Easily 7 out of 10 were ridden a few times and then parked in the…

I thought you’d quote the “Three Laws of Robotics” here. Law 1 contains essentially what you’re saying: “... robot cannot, through inaction, allow harm to come to a human.” Isaac Asimov.

So, Nair had a secret underground....lair?

I’m convinced that the pressure changes cause heavy flatulence in many passengers. I was on a Mexicana flight back to the states from Cancun and thought I would die from ass-phyxiation. Even on domestic flights its bad enough that I fondly remember the days when all you could smell was cigarette smoke.

Velocity will save even more money when they don’t have to produce the show at all. Which will happen shortly after Edd and the audience leave.
