Turns 13 thru 17, coming off the back straight at about 110mph, about top speed for my little car.

Got to see it close up and then race at VIR in 2013

The weird Nissan Delta car parked in the paddock at VIR with a chrome skin, cockpit heat shade, race#0 because it was in a class by itself.

I was married but I’m not anymore. women don’t like the vehicle.

Todd the Squirrel in his little custom van says "Aw don't w-w-worry about it, little guy! You should hear MY horn sometime!"
The horn says "IF THE VAN'S A ROCKIN' I'M DOIN' COKE TO DOKKEN"

The OG Boss was so cool! 2012 version too.
Older cars just have more character, more feels. A new Mustang set up right is a fun car, but I always choose the 25 year-old Miata if it's ready to go.
For fun I mean. For just getting to work every day, I'll take something newer even if it's soul-less.

If I have a favorite band, it's Destroyer. I think I've seen them/him every single time come to my town for the last 20+ years. Shows just keep getting better. Last night was no exception.

Heathcliff and three other friends walk down the street, laughing, wearing pink helmets that say "BRO". Two birds watch from a tree, one saying "We should get helmets, bro."

100% tracks that someone dumb enough to leave an unsecured gun with a total stranger would be a right wing IT dude who probably thinks he's always the smartest guy in the room.

We use my old driving helmets. They're expired for track use but they seem a lot nicer than the helmets you can borrow.
The indoor electric carts are so fun. There's a 2-story track near me with a downhill hairpin.

Me and my kid show up with our own helmets, and I hate to brag(nah, I don't), but we are always 1 & 2.

I mean, they're heavy, expensive, and useless. But yeah, I always like them.

New Zealand, a country with 1.2 million registered firearms according to Wikipedia. And a lot of hunters and shooters who know how to use them. I'm sure Zuck's small band of hired goons would be able to deal with that?
