The zipper broke first and I meant to send it in, but then started using it for wrenching and it got so trashed that I didn’t think Patagonia would take it back! But yeah I would love to be sponsored by Patagonia. Almost all my technical gear is Patagonia. Its expensive but man it lasts and doesn’t fail. Well that… Read more

I was there last week! We were heading up to maine for the week. Send me a message on Facebook or something and I’ll find you next time Im in boston. Read more

Thats awesome! Thank you! Its a huge bummer we missed the race. There were a lot of problems but that two day trip right before the race really cost us. And it doesn’t look like that opportunity is going to work out either. Huge bummer. I’ll tell you whole background story over a beer sometime. Read more

Agreed! I need to get Jalopnik to sell me a print for my wall! Read more

hahaha. yeah I think he did too! Read more

Sounds like a plan! What should we do in 2017? Read more

Haha! Thats awesome! We’ll have to get a beer at a race someday! Read more

I look at Class 11's every few months. After the Pig I think well try to get a stock VW through Baja. Looks insane but way fun! Read more

Its all kind of my doing in one way or another. The same determination that caused me to tow 3,000 miles down to Mexico to try to run a WRC round in a $500 car is the same reason I take on too much on and get into trouble. I wouldn’t be here without it, but sometimes it overwhelms and I fail. It sucks but I keep… Read more

You’re the best Matt! Miss you man! Read more

It was part of the reason I left. I really liked some of the guys I worked with, but the others were hell. Read more

Sounds good. I think were going to the Baja 500 in June to hopefully get ready to finish the 1000. Read more

Yeah that’s pretty spot on. A bunch of things happened at the same time that made it possible. I made it through all the layoff’s(which I kind of proud of)but when it came time to leave I was able to negotiate a year’s salary. Then unemployment checks started showing up. Then Obama doubled them and extended them out… Read more

Haha! It was really Jalopnik that changed my life running that first story and then hiring me and teaching me to write. Renner has been nothing but awesome. His world blew up after I sold him my story, so it got put on hold while he films a ton of Avengers and stuff. But he mentioned it last month in an interview… Read more

Things got nuts near the end and I was having trouble just keeping the group organized. I’m really sorry I didn’t reply. Come join us for the next race. Most likely the Baja 500. Its a huge bummer we missed the race, but I made a lot of mistakes and then this thing came up that took me to LA for a few days right… Read more

In the 7 years since I quit my job, I haven’t earned in total what I made in just one year as a banker... And being an investment banker isn’t easy. It took a ton of work to get there. Like 15 or 20 years. I loved the cash. It took a lot to walk away from to play with cars. But yeah these are all good problems to… Read more

Mine wasn’t so horrible, just weird. We boarded a plane for Hong Kong at like 10am. A series of plane malfunctions kept us at the gate till 2 or 3 o’clock. Then the plane taxi’ing behind us caught fire and they aren’t allowed to move the burning plane till the fire chief signs off on it. By the time its all done, we… Read more

Yeah all good. I like Conor a lot. Read more

That would be awesome to make a bunch of F1 drivers wheel a IROC through that little course! I’d pay money to see that! Read more

Conor is awesome and a friend. Would love to see him get it too. But this is for the ROC Factor, a wild card slot into the tournament. There are already a bunch of Americans in this year(maybe the format changed?) but the website lists Travis Pastrana, Scott Speed, Ryan Hunter Ray, Kyle and Kurt Busch as drivers.… Read more
