This guy straddlin’ the gun while staring down the camera with that face is the best thing I’ve seen today.

I’ve periodically volunteered with a Pride Day festival held in my city (I’m in the dirty dirt South) typically assisting with at risk LGBT youth. Let me tell you; the cars that participate in Pride parades are often much better than most cruise ins, C&Cs, and any cliques. Read more

That pink artillery brought back some memories. When I was in the Army (a short but illustrious career), we had a M113 APC with the interior painted pink. The first sergeant called it a rolling whorehouse but didn’t do anything about it because it was associated with some kind of morale boosting program that allowed Read more

Nice write-up! Though no Pride Parade would be complete without a Miata-based float. Here’s one from ours in Omaha last year that I quite liked:

People do not disappear when June ends.

Half of me wants to say they won’t sell any with a grille that small (how will anyone know how big and tough I am?), but the other half says it’s prime real estate for something super macho like a wolf howling at the moon or nice big AR15 decal, with room left over for Calvin pissing on a Rivian logo.

As with all trucks: 4x4, regular cab, long bed, manual trans, manual crank windows, bench seat, in brown paint or you will not be considered.

The first thing they did wrong was to dip it right side up. They should have done it upside down. Also, I’d rather have a $300 maaco paint job that lasts me half a year than this BS. Read more

“It’s ok, everyone, just casual nooses hanging around the garage. No big deal. Ignore the casual bent-arm crosses over there, too. Doesn’t mean a thing. You’re the real racist for assuming it does!” Read more

Pure coincidence. Southern crackers tie all their knots like this out of habit. Read more

Here you go. It might not have been a true noose, but it sure was not a basic loop either. Definitely understandable how it could be mixed up given the outside circumstances.

This projected increase in traffic is predicated on the assumption that knowledge workers will return to the office.  At this point, that is not happening.  In fact, now that we have 4 months of largely successful remote working under our collective belts, it is increasingly unlikely that we will return to the same Read more

This annoys me. A lot. I have a lot of love the IS. It’s the sensible man’s 3 series - the person who wants to buy a small, reasonably fast, luxury sedan instead of leasing one. I’m annoyed because this is such a goddamn wasted opportunity. Imagine a gorgeous, fast, well equipped, reliable comfortable sports sedan Read more

Yeah, as much as I like how a 3-Series drives, gun to my head I’d buy an IS. Reliable, 9/10ths of the driving experience, good resale value, and better build quality. Read more

they would have been better off without the teasing to build up anticipation. I think everyone was expecting something all new. Read more

They could have at least moved to the moderately better steering wheel from the LX, RX, GS and old ES. After all, they gave the GX that steering wheel for 2020, and the GX is two or three electronics architectures old.
