I got about 5 minutes into it before stopping. The commentators were rubbish. So after probably 20 years I’m done. For me, most of the Speedvision/Speed Channel/NBC Sports commentating was even a little more important than the race itself. Even if the race was a snooze-fest with little passing I was more than happy…

Depends on how often you visit old-folks homes and bingo parlors.

....there’s a repeating symmetrical theme in that picture.

Wow, thanks for posting that picture. My dad did the same in the 70's and as a 4-year old I remember that I was definitely not allowed to touch the thing with the pretty multi-colored strap. And there you have one. I’ve gone on to do a lot of amateur photography. Maybe having the eye is hereditary.

I bet you’re fun at parties.

I’m surprised to find that you, sir/ma’am, are correct. With the exception of hip room (more important as I get older) they are virtually identical. I stand corrected.

Neither do I. It’s not sized like a penalty box and has nearly 300 miles of range at the upper end. I’d drive this over a Bolt for sure.

The Neo became the J30. All the cues are there. And as proof that someone is wearing rose-colored glasses, nobody remembered the J30.

Thanks! It’s in California’s Kings Canyon, near/in Sequoia National Park: https://goo.gl/maps/vNgcuKnY53C2 

Well, that is my car in those pictures, with the top down. Little things make a big difference. With respect to airiness marks against the Miata are the smaller windshield, the high driveshaft tunnel, the proximity of the rear bulkhead. Sure, putting top down helps but it’s like taking a tight sweater halfway off. In…

Shameless self-promotion.

I have had one since ‘08 and I’m over the whole small car thing. I picked up a Veloster with the panoramic sunroof and its so much more pleasant and airy to be in. It’s a revelation. It doesn’t do the same things, of course, but I’m willing to let the handling thing and some of the open feel go to get out of the…

I’ve recently seen the Phantom testing with BMWs on California’s Angeles Crest Highway. The only (conspicuously absent) word they need use is ‘Behemoth’. It’s truly massive.

There’s also usually a radio fuse. Not saying it’s a better option, but in case the NAV workaround fails it’s probably a good fall back.

That’s amazing stuff, but I have to wonder what kind of drug regimen this guy is on.

Yeah, I can just see it, “Everyone stop what you’re doing - eyes on me. The Jalopnik consensus is in. It’s a _____. Get on it. Go go go.”

So many people miss out on the spectacle because they aren’t interested in the racing. It’s not a fuckaround kind of place, either. You can watch from fence near the starting line and if an engine explodes at the line you feel the heat and pieces land at your feet. The noise mid-track puts ripples in your beer and if…

I played this game for quite some time, then uninstalled for this reason and one more. First, Blizzard can’t create an even team balance for shit. And fuck them for that. Then, second, when faced with a ridiculous match-up I leave the server...and get micromanaged by Blizzard for leaving too many games too early. Fuck…

Our Veloster came with one and it seemed like a silly last-decade add-on. Then, on our first road trip I had a camera battery that was dying and a lot of road trip to go. Aw crap. Then the outlet occurred to me - there was little space down in the console but I wedged the battery charger in there and it saved the…

I’m here to find out who won the race. The winner wasn’t listed in the headline. (side eye)
