I was successful in talking the wife and kids into heading up to Bandimere Speedway this morning for the 2010 Bug-In. My boys had never been to the speedway so it was a treat. We spent about 45 minutes watching the track, everything we saw was double digits but was still impressed with quite a [...]
When do we leave? I gotta bring my car though. Gotthard Pass, Switzerland Traveling north from Italy into Switzerland, you’ll come to Gotthard Pass, which you can cross on either the new, straightforward road, or the old roller coaster above. My money’s on the latter. via [MatadorTrips]

About 1:oopm today I received a refund for my M7 Tuning Catch Can. They refunded me $126.65 of the $142.59 I paid them. As with most business done over the internet shipping is not refundable. In this case I think it was kind of a crappy move though. Read the whole story starting here. I [...]

The greatest shirt company in the world is about to launch. Yeah, I know, I run the company but that just makes me biased, not a liar. It is going to be the “greatest thing since after market exhaust”. “Hey that could be a t-shirt”. Do you ever find yourself saying that? If so, you [...]
