Met a few of the guys at cruise. Seems like they’re still a long way off due to several little problems that remain. One interesting one that I certainly do, but never thought about as a driver: four way intersections. As drivers, we often “communicate” with our eyes, or rather eye contact. That’s something that…

...UMaine still sucks more :)

The promo code “FAMILY” for the Gap/BR/Old Navy spat out a invalid code error when checking out. Is this expired? Are there exceptions?

Yeah, although I kinda like it! There’s more than a handful of yuppies here in the Bay Area that will buy up all the stock when it’s allocated, just because it’s rare and exclusive. Thankfully, the store owners make a point of holding onto the good stuff for the customers who buy it to appreciate it. Which I squarely…

This might be a more universal suggestion for large cities with wealthy denizens, but for good, small batch bourbons, I hit small, non-chain liquor stores around the city. And I always make sure to start a relationship with the owner. This often means making an appointment (seriously) during work hours in the middle…

Back when I used to race in the Skippy series, I remember sharing race weekends with spec Miata series. Their drivers would haul all of their own shit to the track, race, fix the car themselves, change tires, etc. Sometimes just one guy (or gal). They were the real deal and I have nothing but respect for them. DIY…

The thing is, in other series, Honda doesn’t really suck so bad! Maybe they’re just putting all their eggs in the IndyCar basket. Which, whatever, if you’re into that kinda thing I guess...

All Subarus. Double hate if it’s a Subaru with Vermont plates.

Yeah, probably not the best they could have come up with. Shockingly (or perhaps not shocking at all...), there isn’t a lot of money available for airports to have all the great gizmos to improve security, lines, etc. Oftentimes congress will pass unfunded mandates for upgraded security and technology, to which the…

I once had the pleasure of working with one of the early architects of the TSA security checkpoints (on an entirely separate consulting gig, fyi). He claimed that the the checkpoint has all of the annoying things like taking off your shoes, pouring out your water, etc., mainly because they can’t NOT have them. The…

Don’t you mean 9 3/4

Ah, came here for this. This and the Ronin S8 remain my favorite movie cars.

Is the Thomas Crown Affair Mustang appropriate here? It remains one of my favorite movie cars. Proof that you can/should lightbar anything.

My work laptop. Fuck that thing.

Know a good ding guy.

A motorcycle.

Damn fucking right.

At the airport in Lima, Peru, use your precious international roaming data to get an Uber. As much as Kinja loves to hate Uber, it’s far better there. The taxis to, for example, Miraflores from the airport charge a flat $40USD. Uber was $14 (check the exchange rate first, though. The USD is usually pretty awesome…
