Achievement unlocked! The STI is broken in. Now I can drive it like I stole it and rev it to redline instead of keeping it under 4000 rpm per the break in procedure. Except the roads around here will be ice and snow for approximately 6 more months, so that tends to be difficult this time of year. I took the picture…

It takes 510 seconds and a couple hundred miles to get the Space Shuttle from the launch pad to orbit.  During that time you get accelerated to about 18,000 miles per hour.

Not to take anything away from Captain Sullenberger, but this may just be a more impressive feat of airmanship. TACA Flight 110 was a regularly scheduled flight between Belize and and New Orleans. On May 24, 1988 they encountered severe weather coming in to New Orleans. While accidentally flying through the worst of…

“Should I trade it in?”
“NO!” - in a disgusted voice before I could even finish asking.
This was on the way home from the hockey game late Saturday night. It was way past the Finnlets bed time so he told me he’d take a nap. About a minute later he decided it was too obnoxious and loud to sleep in the car.

Like the title says, I’m trying to find detailed wheel info for 2019 STI’s. I need to know lug nut size and center bore diameter. Why do I need to know this you ask? Well, I’ve got the replacement for the RS on the way to the dealer and need to figure out if I need new lug nuts and a new centering ring to adapt the…

Eugene B. Fluckey commanded the U.S.S. Barb on five war patrols and won the Medal of Honor in the process. I hadn’t heard about him until this video popped up in my recommended feed, but it’s well worth 8 minutes of your time.

The FoRS is gone, now to get serious about developing an STi. I’ve already found the perfect one, now just to convince the dealer that has it to swap it to the dealer who is closest to me.

The dealer has the paper to complete the buy back, the lawyers just aren’t willing to send a flat bed to pick the car up. Just emailed the salesman that sold me my last two vehicles, we’ll see if he’s interested in losing a customer over $100 for a flat bed. No effing way I’m driving a car on summer tires down my snow…

Yep, but the best kind of car v. bike.

Yep, there’s gonna be cars in ditches. Ditches love cars, get that ditch a car.

Look at the size of that damper. It’s huge.

Cockpit view of the A-10 taking some practice gun runs. Lots of recoil coming through the cockpit.

So living in the rust belt has destroyed my OEM wheels on the truck. As a result I’m currently looking for replacement wheels to wear in the summer. Unfortunately almost all the aftermarket wheels look like they come with a complementary Tapout sticker for the back window and that’s just not my style. Seriously, why…

In 2009 The Horsemen Flight Team hooked up with the Blue Angels at an air show. The Horsemen were flying the F8F Bearcat which was the second aircraft flown by the Blue Angels. Besides their own demonstration flight they did some flying with the current Blue Angels in the formation. They also brought the last living…

Danny MacAskill and Claudio Caluori in one video? This is good stuff.

Speed skier crashes at over 200 kph (120 mph). It’s crazy watching the ski just delaminate as it comes off.

Today is the last day if you want to order one of these.

The local Ford dealer called today. They have a new head coming from Ford and should receive it within the next day or so. Apparently someone at Ford figured out that they’d better get my car fixed before they end up buying it back. Frankly at this point I don’t trust the car to survive a 20 mile trip, so I was hoping…

Turns out cylinders tend to misfire when the fucking valves don’t seal because they’re bent. On the plus side there is a 99% chance I’m taking this car and shoving it up the dealers ass, but on the down side I’m out one damn fine 2007 STi and one nice shiny new but cursed 2017 FoRS. Waiting on the flat bed to come…
