seems bad

no car in stellantis' stable is an interesting and lovable as this beautiful piece of shit. no one who works there today understands any of their brands. occasionally tim k, the guy who doesn't understand time travel [remember that?], burps out the word "hemi" & that's all they've got sell maserati

top five all-time automotive engineering masterpiece. and the spec is correct as it has the nakamichi, the best factory sound system my ears ever heard. mint. 34k miles. whatever this goes for it's worth it.

building my own NSX from scratch

is this thing on? [pretty low numbers for two 35-40yo daily driver Toyotas in the same skeet - though for me maybe not low 😒]

Twofer Timecapsule Toyota Thursday! On this morning's commute I captured a nearly pristine 1986 base-model white Toyota pickup being daily driven. Does the guy know what he has?!? Unexpectedly, I also captured the light blue E90 Corolla ['88-'91] sedan in great shape sitting on a lot behind it!

Castellanos the defensive hero? Castellanos the defensive hero!! #Phillies win!

blocked him already. you should too.

For sale: baby shoes. Never worn.

Is anyone looking to add a beautiful Chrysler 300M Special to their life? My 2004 with 159,000 miles is for sale. It has been owned by enthusiast owners it's entire life, with an extensive service history during my years of ownership. Details here: 300mclub.org/forums/viewt...

Painful reminder for fellow Flyers fans. We drafted Bobrovsky. Then we gave him up bc a jackass exec - we've had many! - decided Bryzgalov was our goalie. Remember him? You should. We're still paying him ['til '27] despite him not suiting up since '13. Bob: 2 Vezinas. 2 Cups Flyers: 50 yrs of pain

🎶 stand in the place where you liiiiiiive, now face north 🎶

Nick Castellanos talking with Topper trying to get back into tonight's lineup

"The everything Corvette!" * 4 cams [+3 from std & overhead] * 32 valves [2x std] * flat-plane crank * two massive f*ckin' snails * 1.9kW Li-ion hybrid battery * electric front axle AWD assist It definitely all happened on 'Vette

Tracer Tuesday Start w/a Mazda 323, share it with partial owner Ford who changed the body to sell it as a Laser mostly in the Pacific Rim, but as a Mercury for North America. Mercury import, but not Merkur. An '89 is in great shape. For $6500 it's yours hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/cto/d/newbur...

bluesky is wonderful bc no one in my personal life even knows what this is and if they do, they don’t use it. it’s perfect.

Strahm is becoming a liability. His strikeout rate is WAY down this year [down by about 1/3 per inning vs his career] & that's the difference. #Phillies

Lol this happened the next town over. Tbh I suspect they were drunk af & lied abt FSD, but it's fun to pile on Tesla so hey maybe it was the FSD. [And yes the cops around here are lazy and/or will do favors burying stuff if you're connected - guessing the owner is bc they're keeping details light]

My favorite from this morning's C&C. Just a lovely little thing.

One for my #weirdcarbs peeps - that's not a Sprint. That's a Pontiac Firefly convertible!

GMT400, right-sized in good colors, papped just now

Me walking into the pub with my Crowdstrike Mercedes-AMG-Petronas jacket George Russell, my man!

Piastri!!!! And lol Norris!!!

Ideal outcome over the final 7 laps: - George hangs on - Max's car goes kerplunk - Piastri passes Antonelli I would love this podium
