If I’m honest, I never really liked the original Wangan Midnight art style as I don’t think it aged as well as Initial D did. Story’s pretty good though.

Javy Baez also had a .420 one week. Talk about 420 BAEZ IT.

It also didn’t help that someone crashed into the #9 Toyota.

Do we cheer for Valliante to validate the dreams of every French kid? Or do we cheer for Jackie Chan in the hopes of a Jackie Chan post-race interview?

I thought the same thing when #8 car was in the pits and the engineers hand-waved the “weird vibration”.

If it happens this year, I want it to be Valliante car because I want a comic book ending.

We’re selling them F-15s...but we didn’t say they were working F-15s!

It’s well known Ohioans are known for looking dumb with their fingers and thumbs in the shape of an “L” on their foreheads.

The boosted B16 isn’t going to go the distance the way the L15 will and I doubt it’s as tractable on the street either.

It’s not a bad way to get a new car. I got a fat discount on my Miata because it was a 2016 when the 2017s were on the lot. Another dealer quoted me $3000 off MSPR back when I was looking in November 2016 and the dealer I bought from in April 2017 lopped off another $2000+.

The solution, of course, is to make friends with mechanics and people who work in the parts department. I also found that shopping at the down-market brand helped as I bought an Acura Integra exhaust component for considerably less through a Honda dealer as a Honda Civic part.

So true! My degree had maybe one or two courses with hands-on wrenching and one was optional. School taught me the theory, but I learned practical skills from my time with Baja SAE and fucking around with my car. I once actually had to scramble off from prepping the Baja car for race day to another class project two…

Ahhh the Corolla story takes me back.

Ha ha fuck everything!

The bit of I-80 Business East. I-80 is generally a shitty place, but the bit in Sacramento leading to the 99 juncture takes the cake because you’re either making a suicide leap across multiple lanes split between 75 mph traffic and traffic just merging onto the freeway, all the while avoiding the merging cars trying…

He doesn’t sound like the Sharpe-est tool in the shed.

134 miles. I live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, so driving 100+ miles was going to happen one way or another unless I paid out the ass at the Toyota or Ford dealer in town, which wasn’t going to happen because I wanted a Mazda Miata.

I want Ira Glass to voice my directions in the form of a This American Life episode.

It’s not that weird.
