McLaren might have dropped the ball when they named the MP4-12C after a printer, but they got it right when the passed over a handle, or a latch, or a switch, or a pull, or a button, and decided that you just had to give it a little of the old “rub and tickle” before it’ll open up.

“Danger to manifold” didn’t make the floorboard fall out. People keep saying it and look like idiots to anyone that knows what actually happened in the scene. “Danger to manifold” made a bunch of green washers fall out of the glovebox, which then knocked the floorboard out. That’s why real racers only use blue…

There’s nothing more expensive than a cheap Rolls-Royce.

In the world of 2 wheels, it would have to be the Kawasaki Vulcan 900.

The Mitsubishi Mirage. (How many people were either just reminded that the Mirage is a thing or googled if it’s still being made?) For ages, the only thing going for it was that it was cheap. With promos and dealer discounts, not too long ago you could get one new off the lot for under $10k. They may still be the…

I’ve been riding for 40 years (on road for about half of that) and whenever I see a story about some squid achieving their goal of becoming a statistic, my reaction is typically to mumble “yup” and keep scrolling. The only pity I feel is for the innocent people they kill, injure, or traumatize by committing suicide on…

A guy at the Calgary Distinguished Gentleman’s Drive had a ‘67 Mercedes 230, with the cool vertical dash.

The thing I miss most about my old Saab 900 was that it had this button to shut off everything but the speedo at night, because it was “Born from jets!”

A company car.

For me it will always be a Triumph Spitfire.

We’ve found the exact person who is the target demographic for the Cybertruck.

A Fiat Multipla!

Big debut and then immediately forgotten, the Shelby Series 1.

Morning rush hour I was on my motorcycle at the front of lane 2 of a dual turn lane. A police car was in lane 1 and an ambulance was in lane 3 (straight though lane).

A bunch of people will say an old Volvo. I’d go more specific and say Irvin Gordon’s 3 million mile Volvo 1800S.

I’d love to make snide jokes about Elon’s failures, but that’s quite a bit more than I’ve dug in the last 7 years. I didn’t even sell any “not flamethrowers” in that time. 

Hard to beat Aston Martin.

I already had to take out a mortgage for half a tank of regular, so no, I don’t have any spare change for you no matter how religious your sign is.
