Agreed, My Mini has 60 or so horsepower, and the power has never really been an issue. When I was in the Appalachian foothills, it would slow down some on up hills, but then I just learned to prepare better, and start accelerating before the climb started. As for every day interstate driving in the Midwest, it’s a… Read more

Is it weird that hitting three gears in the width of an intersection sounds like a riot of a good time to me? Read more

No car is underpowered, just overweight. Read more

Replaced a bunch of vacuum lines over the weekend, hands still haven’t recovered. Read more

I saw that idea somewhere, and loved it. Currently mine is just held in by mismatched sheetmetal screws, so each time I take it on or off, I’m sure it’s widening those holes a bit. Read more

It’s over 25 years old and British, so the list is...extensive. Read more

I road-tripped a classic Mini 1,100 miles after buying it. Best/worst decision ever. I’ve never had so many weird conversations with people. Read more

It's the internet. If you're not outraged by 35 things a day, are you even doing it right?  Read more

Isn't there a town called Toad Suck near there? I'm pretty sure I've been to Toad Suck Square once.  Read more

Great googly-moogly, what do you drive, and can I take a spin in it? Read more

I’ll be honest, I don’t really understand why everyone loves the Aston livery so much. It’s basically teal (that everyone is calling British Racing Green) with a red pinstripe. There’s nothing really there in terms of pattern, design, graphics, etc. Is it just because people like teal? Read more

SCCA Rallycross is just a hoot, because the actual car matters shockingly little. Dirt is a great equalizer. Plus, sliding cars is just fun.  Read more
