Monster Jam is such a good time. Extremely glad I have a 4 year old nephew that's super into monster trucks, or I might have never made it to an event.

Pur Sang El Nandu. Powered by an Isotta Fraschini aeroplane engine. Completed 2017. NR stands for Nicola Romeo, who bought into Alfa and added his name to it.

I used to have a drinking buddy who would always knock on monster trucks when they were on the bar TVs.

"That's so stupid. What's the point? Dumb, macho bullshit."

At some point, we were at his house and he told me to pick a documentary for him, his wife, and I to watch (get your mind out the gutter!). Monster trucks it is! Everything about them. Bigfoot 1 to modern trucks that are built like huge quad cycles. Driver interviews, audience reactions, the pace of work, engineering, maintenance, the whole deal. One full hour of big rear end engines in big rear end trucks in small arenas.

"Yeah, it's kinda cool. I can see the draw."

Couple weeks after that, his niece and nephew stayed with them for a week. Guess what they wanted to see?

"Monster trucks are kinda awesome! Noise you can feel! The kids and the wife were cheering! We got mud all over everything and didn't care."

"Was I right about monster trucks?"

"No."

All racing is a “waste of resources” if you want to look at it like that. There’s plenty better reasons to rag on NASCAR than that, tell him to step up his game.

Eh, a really good guy in every other respect except not liking the idea of monster trucks.

Take your buddy to a race and get as close to the fence as possible. See if that attitude survives the first lap.

He doesn't like any racing but likes fast cars, go figure.

I've offered to take him to a race but he has no interest whatsoever so I'm not gonna beg him lol. I convinced my wife to go to the Daytona 500 and she's been a fan ever since.

The only time I've been to one, it was in the former-and-once-again Delta Center in SLC. An arena with a max floor area so small the course was basically an oval, with the straights a whopping four or five cars long and so little room to speed up that no truck got air at all.

I took my sisters Mini in for service yesterday as a favor to her and decided to drop into the attached BMW dealer showroom. This is an AC Schnitzer tuned, turbocharged E21 323i. They also had an M1, an E92 M3 and an E30 M3 that had been engine swapped to the 3.2 six from an E46 M3.
