Right?

I loved the Hummer when it came out: portal axles, 30" (?) water-fording, some absurd -like 60°- angle before it would roll over. Then I got a ride in one of the first civilian ones-just on-road, tho. It was >crap< for that: too large & massy for the street. Noisy, unrefined, vague, and too-stiff suspension.

Check out the Niva 6X6 build over at wacky Russian car channel Garage54 on YT. I think it's the voice-over translation that makes it so hypnotic

I’m waiting for the revival of snuff. Not the pinch-between-cheek&gum stuff,  but the finely powdered tobacco gentlemen used to sniff off their hands. I can just see hipsters getting all tribal about the different types and flavors

Thanks, Raphael; I had forgotten that article 

Thanks for giving the goyim something to click on this morning.

Given that the article is >about< a politician threatening ( against advice ) to do something he CAN’T legally do about cars, how could this be done?

Never too late! There’s YouTube & as Miss M said, Google searches. Have any gearhead friends you can hang out with and watch?

C’mon, Stef, you raced an air-cooled-did you always use a torque wrench on the acorn nuts holding the oilscreen? Honestly?

Wait, you’re advocating for a DexCool hot tub??? That’s just >inviting < vitriolic abuse!

Well said, Still Deadpan; hear, hear!

Late to the party, but I >gotta< ask: did you within hours of acquiring it do donuts as we all saw Richard Hammond do on TG?

“ >liberal< commie >pinko< “, you mean, no?

Exactly this. I have a screenshot of the relevant portion of the Cornerstone Speech in my favorites file-easily accessible if any of my coworkers tries that whiney ‘states rights!’ bullshit. That and my rant about OWNING another human being def made an impact: our latest FNG told me a couple months in that he was

Just where is he now? I’m thinking he needs to be hung, drawn, and quartered.

HA! I am so using that the next time our crusty old plumber (ex-CUSE ME: ‘pipefitter’ 🙄 ) starts ranting about kids & trophies again!

I honestly have no idea who that woman is. Assuming she sings from context. Am I missing anything?

I >did< finish it-but the last 100 pages were drudgery. Actually, most of it was work to get through: way too self-indulgent and wordy to be a fun read for me.
