It has a plan to fix that, though.

“ When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages a sick sense of failure falls on me and I know I can never do it. This happens every time. Then gradually I write one page and then another.”
Steinbeck said that, and it makes me feel better about my own writing process.

Sure the Porsche Macan is faster and offers an array of luxury features but my Jeep Cherokee has more cargo space and definitely wins in the looks department.

It’s such a shame Irwindale Speedway is closing. It was the last public drag strip easily accessible for LA and OC folks. It was a huge part of pro driftings roots in the states as well. And it’s getting bulldozed for some industrial park. Warehouses maybe.

Every time a vehicle built before emissions controls drives by, I’m forever thankful for things like catalytic converters, EVAP and PCV. Sure, the scent of pre smog exhaust has its moments, because of nostalgia and all that. But imagine if every car in the road was like that? Fuck breathing I guess.

Has anyone else noticed that every company that’s owned Jeep has slowly crashed and burned? Except Mercedes of course but I think they skirted the disaster because they didn’t acquire Jeep they just merged with Chrysler.
