I don't even like riding in the rain on something that doesn't have offroad tires. The off ramp to my house has this metal expansion thing that goes across the whole lane in the middle of the turn and the one time I got caught in a storm on my bike, as soon as I hit that piece of metal with my rear, I did damned near a 180. This was while I was already going slow as gently caress.

I tweeted to Richard that I was cancelling my Patreon because of him being a dipshit and he straight up told me to gently caress off so I have no problem no longer supporting them in anyway. I'll eat a probe for this but Binky is no longer awesome car stuff even if it has been going on for like 10 years now, I'm done with it. Nik is an enabler for not telling him to gently caress off since he's the only one doing social media.

Spotted at Miramar Lake (San Diego) last weekend:



Trivia: President Lyndon Johnson used tom prank visitors to his ranch with one of these:

The President, with [White House secretary] Vicky McCammon in the seat alongside him and me in the back, was now driving around in a small blue car with the top down. We reached a steep incline at the edge of the lake and the car started rolling rapidly toward the water. The President shouted, "The brakes don’t work! The brakes won’t hold! We’re going in! We’re going under!" The car splashed into the water. I started to get out. Just then the car leveled and I realized we were in a Amphicar. The President laughed. As we putted along the lake then (and throughout the evening), he teased me. "Vicky, did you see what Joe did? He didn’t give a drat about his President. He just wanted to save his own skin and get out of the car." Then he’d roar.

I haven't seen it in a while now but the owner of a tattoo shop near me has/had one of them that he would park outside the shop.

My wife wants to put Ronal Bear wheels on her Model Y. I don't disagree with her taste, but Bear aerodiscs would be better for range...

It's a good thing Rotiform is very expensive or I would be tempted to suggest. this.

I don't think you could even get OG Bears on a Y. IIRC they only come in a 4 bolt pattern.

Plus I'm not sure you'd want a 15" rim with that car.

Have you ever had the chance to sit in a Countach? Or look into an LMP1 car? While I never had the chance to sit in the later, I once had the chance to drive the former, and let me tell you…the car was not designed for people with legs.

The Countach is definitely a "don't meet your heroes" kinda car.
