Wow, just read through that bidding. Super lucky indeed!

That Z4 was a good backup, especially on a nice day where you could keep the top down.

I know it’s about the Fiero (and totally awesome story BTW) but how about that gated shifter?!?!?!

Yep, the infrastructure in Michigan is very different to Texas. There’s no way you’d slide so far on our pothole filled roads ;)

Now playing

Engineering Explained posted a video breaking down why their EPA ratings are so vastly different. Even after watching it though, I feel like the EPA should be way more straightforward with their ratings. I feel like what we’re seeing with Tesla vs Porsche is one manufacturer who is under reporting to be safe and

My hands down, all time favorite wheels are the BBS Y spokes. I love every version of them (Glad to see the gold ones on the Subaru on this list), but my favorite iteration was on the E46 M3 Competition. Man, I lusted after that car...

So it might surprise you but a large portion of my climbing friends (including myself) have a mild fear of heights. When I lead climb, I’ll sometimes have to pause right after I clipped in to do breathing exercises to relax myself. Overcoming your fears, I guess. I’d really recommend trying it again though. It’s one

Hey, I’m an engineer who is into cars, watches, cameras, guitars, and cooking too! I love the design of motorcycles, but since my uncle got run over (somehow he survived), it’s basically a no-go in my family.

My spine hurts every time I see that...

I’m guessing it will be like the Wrangler. I think I last heard (back in 2018) that it was 1 2-door for every 4 4-doors. It wouldn’t surprised me if it was more. I doubt it will be even 20% of volume after the launch years and initial demand are satisfied. 

Considering that Ford cancelled the 2+2 body style for the Raptor, apparently nobody wanted to buy those, so in terms of money/profit/sales success,

I’m nowhere near financially strong enough to buy something even close to this price range, but my oldest brother has been eyeing the Guilia QF and I think one of these might be a better fit for him, especially if he doesn’t like taking a car to get serviced...

Yup, definitely an interesting story!!!

Homemade for the win! My roommate developed his own dough recipe and bought one of those cool mini super-hot ovens. The pizzas were AMAZING!

Is there a fun story behind that? It sounds like there could have been.

Fun fact: Italians in other regions outside of Naples eat square pizza. Detroit is just a modified family recipe on the Sicilian pizza. 

Shane, to help you, I’m just going to link this to you so that you can figure out what happened in your web search to find whatever that abomination was...

If some people are curious about Detroit Pizza (I was when I moved here), it’s basically a modified Sicilian Pizza. It’s surprisingly good and if you’re in Michigan, I recommend it (though taking new hires to Buddy’s Pizza has become a bit cliché at Ford). https://www.eater.com/2016/1/19/10787414/detroit-style-pizza-be

I’m guessing you didn’t see one of the higher trimmed or sasquatch equipped 4 Doors. I think those ones look pretty sweet.

I really liked the turbos from that gen, especially from the rear 3/4. The GT3's had nice bodykits too.
