Ha! The weird part is I grew up where they filmed all the John Hughes movies. Planes Trains and Automobiles was filmed at a friends house. that snow was in the middle of july. we had the most awesome snowball fight in like 85 degree temps. The home alone house is like 5 minutes and Ferris Beuler ferrari house another…
We need more Jello Picnics. All the motorsport car stuff is too tiring. Might be nice to just ride the subway up to central park and eat some Jello... Read more

Its my favorite racing weekend of the year! I stumbled into two years ago and last year was invited to join a team! Thank you Klass! I had so much fun last year that I'll go back every year as long as I can. http://jalopnik.com/the-dirtburgri… Read more
I ran in 2008 and it was scary. like the floorboards were getting beaten in from all the debris I was hitting. I remember swerving around whole sections of cars. I found one car on top of another car at one point and they were still moving till the lower car braked and the top car slid off. Im not going back without A… Read more
I think I have one... but you never know. Read more
Its not like that but I see what you mean. I choose the awesome parts. There were crappy parts of my high school years too. Like I was total loser and didn't know how to talk to girls, but man I could drive. So I did a lot of driving... Read more
I sell my body to yoga moms... one can dream right? I used to be an investment banker, made tons of cash. But this was only supposed to be one year so I wasted a lot of it! like I moved into a hotel at the base of vail for 5 weeks or so and skied every day and partied all night. Wish I had kept more for a rainy day(at… Read more
Thanks Spencer! At first I thought you were Spencer in San Diego. Reminded me of his engine swap. Im going over the stupid menu for my fake wedding and saw on Facebook an e30 guy having trouble pulling his motor in the street in front his parents house. it said he was in the next town. I was like hey can we do this… Read more
I was wondering who was going to post this! Read more

I didn't know I loved cars until I owned my first car...an e30 and started auto crossing and going to track days. I'm old, pictures required film back then. I still own both E30's in the photo and am pissed I loss the chance at owning the 2002. That summer with my friends Leo jr. and Matt was one of the best of my…
The first thing I did when I quit my job was go see F1 in Turkey, then drive the Nurburgring and watched the 24hrs of Lemans, all in one week. I've raced at WRC Mexico, Pikes Peak, the Baja 1000, Targa Newfoundland, a 6hr race at the Nurburgring and qualified for the 24hrs of the Nurburgring, I even have an invite…
hahaha so funny. never looked at it like that before! Read more
Incredibly well written FreddsterExprs, the W108 guy. Seriously spot on. Amazing how BMW messed up its involvement in motorsport. I never really saw the whole picture like that before. thank you! Oh and they have been getting spanked at the Nurburgring 24hr as well where they are historically the manufacturer with the… Read more
I couldn't agree more. The decision to use Dai, who doesn't race a BMW in Formula Drift, a year after Michael Essa won the Formula D championship, is beyond disrespectful. Its shows the current level of stupidity of the BMW marketing team. Hey lets appeal to enthusiasts, do another drift video... When in reality, all… Read more
I laughed pretty hard too. but when I think about my friends love for his Disco and the constant problems and headaches it causes him, he might be right. land rovers are the BDSM scene of automotive world! Read more
My good friend Travis has a Discovery and says this about Doug and his issues: "Land Rover's are the BDSM scene of the automotive world. He says it like he doesn't enjoy the constant frustration but he really does. Any true land rover owner loves being dominated buy it." hahahaha! Read more
Love examples that start with my local credit union, "normal depreciation" curves, loan is Only underwater for 31 months... But its ok AS LONG AS you dont default in the first year... - I can create scenarios too. Its what happens that counts. Why does the 100 year flood seems to happen roughly every 7-8 years...
When… Read more
Thanks Boter! Before buying a $500 Bmw, a welder and tube bender I was investment banker with an MBA from the number one program in the world. I was in securitization which was the tool used to finance all these consumer loans(and others) in the capital markets. Auto loans, mortgages, consumer debt, etc. And of course… Read more
