Too bad I can’t get Fisher-Price to sponsor the Porschelump. Our team mascot is their toy!

This (with the exception of ranch chips, which are miraculously fine) is the correct take. Ranch is vile.

Oh, no—In-N-Out sucks, too. Much like CFA’s soggy, oversalted breading, those fries are a war crime.

Seriously, someone dropped the ball in vetting this one. Not only does their chicken suck, but they don’t fulfill the basic needs of being open when the rest center is.

Hush, now—as a native Texan, I unfortunately know that common sense no longer has any sway on the absolute idiots who run our state government.

Ugh, yeah. It felt like a ton of folks stayed home from COTA last year because it was too expensive...so the solution was to raise prices again? Insanity.

Oh, there’s no way I would’ve shelled out my own cash to go. Absolutely not. I’ve been to more scenic autocrosses than that, and I got to drive my own car in those—for a lot less money, too. Meanwhile, here’s this new Miami race, out here giving Dallas ‘84.

But that’s Miami. The Miami Grand Prix is very Miami and more of a Miami event than a Formula 1 event. Las Vegas is going to be the same. Whether that works for F1 will be seen. Read more

I know I call my cars my garbage sons, but I think this might be the most garbage garbage son of all time. I have been one-upped. Watch out, Dreaded Laramie.

It’s a bulky mass with a giant plain slab for a rear end. Windows aren’t just functional things that work when a camera breaks—they’re also aesthetically pleasing.

Good thing it’s not a BMW. They’d find some stupid justification to make the bird-or-wave screen a $70/month subscription.

Just because one car is hideous doesn’t mean that other cars can’t also be hideous. The new big-snout BMWs are just hot messes.

IDK, man, the midwest has an off-putting attachment to ranch, so I’d call that weird as hell.

I don’t want to do either! We mostly stay home here when it’s Witch’s Tit-cold outside, for what it’s worth. Even if you can drive in it, no one who learned how to drive in Texas can. That’s a barely functioning set of drivers in perfect conditions, anyway.

I’ve heard this, but I haven’t really seen it in action outside of big trucks.
