Recently added a 2006 Civic to the stable. Crawled under the car today, hardly a speck of rust, one owner California car purchased from the original owner and which I suspect has been garaged most of its life. Outside of the dirty power steering fluid, transmission and engine oil and filters (all changed out today)…

So where is Jerry West and what is he, chopped liver?  At least four of those guys are not home grown life long purple and gold wearing Lakers, unlike the Logo.

I recently had Best Buy deliver a brand new washing machine to my house for free. Paid them $15 to haul the old one away. Can’t imagine a scenario where I would ever want to move one myself.

My brand new Honda doesn’t need me. Sure it starts and obediently takes me everywhere I want to go without fail everyday. But where’s the adventure in that?

Just take your brand new $50k or $100k car, rev to 5000 dump the clutch and speed shift it down the track without using the clutch. Or if you have an automatic leave it in neutral and rev to 5000 rpm before slamming it into gear at takeoff. You should be able to come close to the published times even if you don’t…

CBS Sports dumped their comment section last year too. I started to completely ignore ESPN once they required a Facebook login.  Thankfully I can still come here to Deadspin and say whatever the fuck I want.  Long live Deadspin.  Fuck yeah!

I’ve got a boil on my balls that I’m planning on getting rid of this summer.  I’d rather trade it to someone for something of value because it’ll cost me an arm and a leg to just get rid of it myself.  Any takers?

On the plus side no one actually watched the Muguruza match because ESPN made it an ESPN+ streaming exclusive. And no one in their right minds is subscribing to ESPN+.

I was at the local Honda dealer in December of 2015 and noticed a base spec HR-V with a 5 speed stick sitting smack dab in the middle of the showroom floor with a $19k sticker.  I thought wow, if I was in the market for a utility (I wasn’t) I might be tempted.

Maybe a well times writers’ strike will force a shortened 4th season and encourage the producers to move the story along towards it’s inevitable conclusion.  Bernard vs Delores. Good vs evil. Jack and Jacob vs the Man in Black. Oh wait, wrong story.

Need more info on that achilles.  Some people were saying he might not be ready until January.  Still worth it if he can be 85% by playoff time but really why did he take so little?  Was it the medicals?

Locking in a long term contract makes sense. At some point as players age their bodies start breaking down and their skills deteriorate. No athlete no matter how great is immune. Remember Kobe’s last few seasons? Michael Jordan in Washington? Almost unwatchable. LeBron at 34 is at the age where his skills and…

Stupid is as stupid does.

What is it about hispanics that makes them think these racist gestures are acceptable? It’s not just these two morons but the entire Spanish national basketball team and Yuli Gurriel during last year’s World Series. It seems like it’s ingrained in the culture.

The other problem is the new Accord only went on sale recently and probably wasn’t available in sufficient numbers. The fact that the Accord was still in the top 15 is shocking given the timing. I would wait until the second quarter numbers come out before saying the new Accord is dead.

Shrug. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Most people think the Forester is too boxy and conservative but ugly? I don’t particularly care for the gigantic grills that every car maker is slapping on the front of their cars but that seems to be the trend. The Accord’s unibrow in chrome looks weird but it would be…

It looks like every other crossover on the market.

Part of the problem is those numbers they’re using are BS. I did a quick check on gasbuddys, gas prices are up over a dollar a gallon in Salt Lake and northern California from January 2017. The $3.18 a gallon in SLC in particular represents an over 50% increase in the cost of gas. At 19 mpg, sure it’s only about…

You knew this was coming. Just when every media outlet and their 18 year old intern starts touting the death of the sedan and Ford announces it’s discontinuing production and everyone is driving gas guzzling SUV’s and pickups, gas prices shoot up because the oil companies know they gotcha.
