I remember going to a lowrider show when I was a teen. These dudes are some of the most realest car people around. The amount of pride and work that goes into them is insane. Plus the culture around the cars was cool itself. The brodozer scene is just the opposite. Slap on a lift and some huge wheels and run around…

I’ll stick with my steed8, which has 8 hp of crumple zone.

YouTube took down my hobo bludgeoning videos under some trumped up, terms of service nonsense.

The best way I ever heard this merger explained is as follows.  The Chrysler Daimler merger was like when Germany and Poland merged in 1939.

Welcome to the rest of the world.

Here’s an interesting article by Sheldon Brown about electro-forging, an alternative way of building frames that Schwinn used back in the 70s.

Man, Microsoft’s really going all in on the Western RPGs. First they acquired Obsidian, and now Bethesda....

I actually know some things about this type of thing.

This is why I said governors should have exempted churches from large gathering restrictions.  Just avoid the martyr complex bullshit and skip straight to the martyrdom.  Let’s see how many of them really believe in the magic they claim makes them superior.
