K1 in Carlsbad (where this was filmed) certainly uses electric karts, yes. (Actually, all K1 locations may have converted to electric now.)

Especially if he had Hodor ...oh. Yeah. I forgot.

Stolen from the parking lot at work. Every. Time.

My MIL had 97 or 98 Q45t with the 4.1L V8. Comfortable car, plenty of space, good on the highway. I drove it on occasion, but the most seat time I ever got was a run from Chicago (ish ...okay, technically like Naperville) to Des Moines IA for my (now wife’s) college graduation.

It wasn’t a torque monster, so stop and…

50 miles on a charge means this is a non-starter for me. I’ve got just about a 25mi commute each way. While there are charging stations available, there’s been an explosion of electrics and hybrids as of late and there are many days where there are no stalls available.

I’m not looking to end my workday with range…

Storms swept the Chicago area this week and my basement flooded for a third time in 15 months. Three separate causes, three separate points of entry. Last two times were 73 days apart.

1a) At what point do I say fuck it and burn the house to the ground?
1b) Can I get help from staff/readers on both an alibi and a good…

When that damned robot closes his eyes and says “Superman”. It’s fucking Vin Diesel voicing a cartoon robot, for crying out loud (which I openly do), why am I in tears?

Also ...The Good Dinosaur. I was with my kids in the theater and I died. My wife was sobbing and holding my son who was a wreck. That got me going (so…

Aren’t you a little strong for a lady? I’m calling wang.

Does no one remember Ali/Inoki? Mixing disciplines doesn’t always work out well.

This, for some reason, didn’t quite resonate with me ...but it was closer than the friction circle explanation. Seriously, I had to read all the way through to understand where he was going.

What I was taught - and what clicked in my brain - was simply that acceleration + turning = 100%. So if you’re at 75% turn-in,…

Non-existent, much to my chagrin. Little League baseball and softball, little dude’s birthday, and working to put the basement back together following a May 1 flood. To top it all off, I need brake work I can barely afford, I’ve got a CEL I can’t fix myself, and my front bumper cover and grille both need to be…

I’ll admit I didn’t click all the way through, so maybe this has been done. However ...

You kiss your mother with that mouth?

Good buddy has one and it’s a monster. And a stick. And it’s converted to run E85. And it dyno’d at like 790 last I heard.

It’s ridiculously awesome. Just be careful - the heated seat controls are right about where your knees (can) touch the center console if you’re on the tall side. So, for example, if you’re on a…

I’m lucky enough to get to pilot one of these on a semi-regular basis. My FIL has owned one since maybe 1998 (?) and still has it. His is a 1991 Z32 (VG30DETT with a choose-your-own-adventure gearset) and with close to 200k on the clock it still runs like a champ. It’s reasonably well-serviced, but everything made of…

I’m embarrassed to admit how much I used to love that song.

Now I’m totally not going to go listen to it while I eat lunch at my desk ...

Gotta be X-Files era Mitch Pileggi.

How do none of you supposed Jalops recognize the iconic dash of a Gallo 24?

I put in something like $11. It weeds out the $1 and $5 stuff, but you still get dealers showing $100 and $200 ... Per month. But yeah, I was pretty excited to find that car, regardless.
