My favorite (and I guess only, until reading this article) Frank Stephenson story is about the reboot MINI’s exhaust tip design:

Last year, brand new 2019 Raptor with 4000 miles. Late night, a teenager runs the red light. Zero witnesses. In a 30 year old Explorer, they had minimum liability coverage, which wasn’t near enough to cover repairs, let alone a total. I ended up having to file on my own insurance. Because I had the video proving…

I spent 3 years saving and looking for the perfect CTS V Sport. Finally, I had a nice down payment and a beautiful certified example came up for sale in TN, 700 miles from me. I loaded up the family in my Kia Forte, drove to TN, traded in the Kia for 1.5k and bought my baby. Drove it home and had it 4 months when a…

Sparknotes: Visited a friend in a suburb west of Boston, and parked on the street. When I returned ~8 hours later, it was nighttime, so I didn’t immediately detect that anything had happened, and drove home. The next morning, I head out to my car, and notice that the front bumper was significantly damaged. Retrieved…

I was driving through was looked like a hollowed out shell of a website, then suddenly a listicle appeared out of nowhere and blindsided me. Luckily, my dashcam caught the whole thing, so I was able to restore balance to the force, the listicle was locked away never to be seen again, and everyone lived happily after.

11 years and 23,000 miles later I’ve still got her! It has always been my secondary car except for a single month in 2018 when I went down from 3 cars to 1 car waiting for the Model 3 to show up.

Neutral: Buying cars online is great. Most recently I did buy a Model 3. I had a pre-order and got it in 2018 so it was a long wait but definitely worth it. Car got delivered to the main road down the street from my house. Read more

There’s basic costs to transporting oil to a refinery, operating the refinery, transporting gas to the gas station, and operating a gas station. That exists regardless of the price of oil. And those exist in 2020 dollars.  Read more

You can’t shut off a cow

This is stupid. Well actually, this is more than stupid, it’s utterly moronic, backwards and counter productive. Why use solar power to make fuel (likely to be an inefficient process), transport it (also inefficient) to then burn it in a piston engine (which all are extremely inefficient), when you can just use the… Read more

I never thought I would own (lease) a Mini, much less a Countryman, but here we are. The JCW Tune Kit with the exhaust with flap, some fifteen52 wheels, and black trim. That said, I am turning it in next year for either the new GTI or a used M240i, manual of course. I would buy it, but a serious accident last year…

I’ve driven the track, just don’t go balls out. There are so many guides on what you should and shouldn’t do. Most of these guys who are there are going to be faster than you, and they have more experience, more skill, and more car than you. Stay right and you’ll be mostly fine. Read more

Well Justin, Texas Motor Speedway has you covered!

Guaranteed it’s a non turbo variant of the 3.5L V6 paired with hybrid systems. Which means I don’t think 400hp is going to be the number. Probably mid to low 300s. Torque should be good though, with the electric assist. I don’t think this truck is going to be about power numbers, it’s going to be about MPG above all. Read more
