With the underdog Israeli bobsled team heading to the Olympics, I saw some folks suggesting a name for a potential movie: Shul Runnings. 🤣

What’s something you buy in bulk that most people wouldn’t understand?

This couple would make a damn fine two-car garage.

Rush hour during the Dakar hits different.

My wife and I just celebrated our 36th anniversary. Yet we still can’t agree on how to fold a t-shirt. My way is on the left. Her’s is on the right.

Had a great day in NYC with motorsport legends Judy Stropus & Leigh Diffey Leigh was the guest of honor at the Chowder Society lunch. Now he’s off to Daytona for the 24, then on to Italy to call the action in sliding sports for the Winter Olympics! The hardest working man in sports commentary!

I grew up in the golden age of racing & followed most of it: F1, IndyCar, endurance, rally, LSR, Pikes Peak, etc. I was especially enamored with drag racing, as my brother took me to watch races at Connecticut Dragway. I had a poster of this classic photo (by Bob McClurg) of Wild Willie on my wall.

Didn’t @alfranken.bsky.social get booted out of the senate for this?

Bring back the hatchback you cowards. Or better yet, just give the Crosstrek a WRX drivetrain option. With a stick. I miss my bugeye WRX hatch. www.thedrive.com/news/subaru-...

Finally saw a Vinfast VF8 on the road. First time I’ve see one in the wild up here in New England.

A local business owner friend kept track of which cars her difficult customers (dicks) drove: Ford: Generally not dicks Porsche: Double dicks BMW: Double dicks Jeep: Generally not dicks Volvo: Generally not dicks Dodge: 50% Honda: 50% Audi: Mostly dicks Subaru: Mostly dicks

Going through old boxes and suddenly feeling a bit scsi

7 inch snowfall was basically a Bat Signal for the CarPlow. The Crosstrek with Vredestein Wintrac Pro tires makes clearing my driveway a snap.

With current battery tech, this is impressive. Looks cool, too. Renault Filante Record 2025 EV drove 1,008 km in under 10 hrs, at avg speed of 102 km/h, w consump of 7.8 kWh/100 km, w 87 kWh battery – same size as the one in Scenic E-Tech EV SUV.

And that’s a wrap for latke-fest 2025. #chanukah

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Great idea. KIA could and should pull this off. I love the Veloster N and Kona N. This could be even better. Can we even cross our fingers for a stick? Since KIA is not on here… @hyundaiusa.com can you pass this along, please?

KIA just announced pricing for the very stylish K4 Hatchback. K4 EX - $24,890 K4 GT-Line - $25,890 K4 GT-Line Turbo - $28,790 Base: 2.0-liter 147 hp/132 lb.-ft. fwd GT-Line Turbo: 1.6-liter, turbo 190 hp/195 lb.-ft. to the front wheels through an 8-speed auto. That one should be fun!

For Flashback Friday, who else had a paper route as their first job and what paper did you deliver? From 11-16 I delivered the Bridgeport Post in CT. I had 3 baskets on my String-Ray to handle 85 customers. My first big splurge with my earnings was a Raleigh Chopper.

The Fitch Phoenix. John Fitch, race driver, inventor and WWII flying ace lived near Lime Rock and drove his creation over to the track all the time. It was always neat to see him. After he died it was sold (for $250,000+). Happily, the new owner drives it over to Lime Rock on a regular basis.

I know parking is hard, but dude. Literally blocking half the travel lane. On top of that, it was an EV charging spot. 🤦‍♂️

I feel like Speaker Johnson must have been pushed into his gym locker so many times and given so many swirlies and wedgies that it made him the lying, cruel and petty dickwad he is today. #aca

Speaker Johnson is such a dick.

I wake up to the first real snow of the season and ready to celebrate the beginning of Chanukah. Instead of joy, I’m greeted by news of the horrific slaughter of Jewish families on a beach in Australia. When antisemitism and hatred go unchecked, this is the outcome.

Hero.

American great Lindsey Vonn won the opening women’s World Cup downhill of the season on Friday to make Alpine ski history at 41 – making her the oldest World Cup race winner in history. https://cnn.it/3Mz9XFB

One of my oldest friends (we’ve been buds since elementary school) recently completed a 3.5 year restoration on his ‘65 396 C2. The spec and results are spectacular. The 396 was a 1 year only option. And this just dyno’d at 426hp. To me, it’s perfection. Well done, Tony. Well done.

Sometimes, a press release makes me smile. "La Dolce Vita! Goodwood Revival to celebrate 80th anniversary of the Vespa"

Tossing out some old boxes from the attic. That PowerMac tower is long gone. It replaced my first work station, a Quadra 900. I maxed both of them out with ram and top graphic cards. Except for Photoshop’s lack of layers and history, I miss those days.

Brilliant.

I agree with @matthardigree.bsky.social Love it. And I want that Brat sooooooo bad.

Here's another sporty coupe from the mid-eighties. There were so many choices in the category. Prelude, Scirocco, Probe GT, RX7, Starion, Eclipse, Celica, Supra, MR2, Z, Daytona Shelby Z, Subaru XT, X1/9, etc. And the luxury stuff like the Audi Coupe GT, Volvo 780, BMW 635, MB SEC, etc.

Behold the 160 HP Super Coupe!

He’ll of a finish to the season. Congrats to a well-deserved champion and team.

I’m normally Team Lewis, but this weekend, I’m Team Lando.

All Arctic Trucks are cool AF. But their Jimny conversion wins my heart. Tough and cute at the same time.

I know we're still a couple of years away from the @rivianofficial.bsky.social R3, but I can't stop thinking about it. Will replace our Ioniq 5 as wife's daily. If I ever decided to give up my 6sp Crosstrek, the R3X would be perfect.

Uhhh. While I’ve long wished for kei cars in the US, I’m not sure they are going to fair well in confrontations with full size SUVs and pickups. Can you imagine getting t-boned by a Hummer EV while tooling along in your Toyota Pixis Joy? Joy will not be your last thought.

Introduce yourself with five cars you’ve owned: 1972 M-B 280SE 4.5 1978 Renault LeCar 1983 Honda Prelude 1986 Ford Taurus Limo 2002 WRX Hatchback

For anyone cutting MTG slack, let @profgalloway.com remind you of her greatest hits.

Snowblower maintenance done. Now it won’t snow at all.

I never even knew this weirdo existed. The Brat's funky European cousin: bringatrailer.com/listing/2000...

Damn. I guess I need to plan a trip to LA. "Legends of the Dirt" Sets To Open at Petersen Automotive Museum on Dec. 7. The display will spotlight the machines, engineering breakthroughs and racing cultures that have defined off-road competition for decades.

My local newspaper had a long history of exceptional town-focused journalism..until it was gobbled up and hollowed out by a giant media empire. It sucks now. But every once in a great while, it serves up something of interest. Like this random Parsh pic.

Who recognizes this? 25 years ago, it was my constant companion.
