Repo Man > Buckaroo Banzai

Beautifully written Mike. I remember finding this site sometime in the 2005-2007 era and it completely changed how my teenage mind thought of cars. Likely were it not for the two of you I wouldn’t be where I am today, continuously in the search for a brown manual diesel miata wagon.

C’mon, it’s Hank Scorpio.

It’s not so much hate as recognizing a disingenuous reaction from Hamilton. I don’t so much care that he called for the penalty, it just seems like he’s playing a part to avoid as much blowback as possible. 

Hell of an obituary right there.

Great player. Rest in peace.

Tragic 24 hours for college sports, the wife and daughter of Wisconsin basketball assistant Howard Moore were killed by a wrong way driver in Michigan late the previous night.

Yes indeed. I live in Pacific time and flubbed that one. Thanks, it’s been corrected. 

And in case anyone wonders what his time was and how it compares to F1:
-He did 1:46.0177
-F1 2018 Pole was 1:37.392

a good update if you haven’t already seen:

Fucking bullshit. Of all the owners in all the world...

Awww, is a wittle Boston fan angwy? Your comment policing is adorable.

I made it to the 13th and was dying.

As a Rockies fan I am admittedly biased, but feel as though it’s a near-universal sentiment.

I tried to stay up but had to work this morning, that shit was taking forever!

It’s just like real life. Uncle Tony wants the car at 2 am and some cash, and you give it to him once. Then you do it again. Then you’re bailing him out of jail. Then he calls you from a pay phone in philly looking for a steakhouse and a gun. You think to yourself that sounds like fun but I want my money. You give it…

This list is invalidated by the absence of the Happy Happy Joy Joy song.

Fwiw, living in Tokyo, the coverage of Osaka has been nonstop, positive, and glowing.  People are going legitimately bonkers for her over here.

You're an idiot. 

God, that was some bullshit. Everybody lost: Serena, the public, and especially Naomi, who turned in a world-class performance but now will always have an asterisk accompany any mention of this victory. It was an all-around bummer. What a weird moment to enforce the coaching restriction, topped by that overkill game…
