Freshly serviced cars are the best cars.

Caricature illustrations of the 1960s and 2020s Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 side by side, in side profile, front and rear views. The new one is angrier and much bigger. The old one is smaller, cuter, and is the most essentially beautiful car in the world. They’re both red.

These were done in procreate while stuck in a hotel room in 2023.

Remember the Alfa 33? Not that one. The other one. Not that one either. Are you sure you know whatβ€” yeah that 33. No, I mean, it is, but there was an older one. They’re both called 33. It’s a long stor…well it’s kind of a short story.

Here’s a diagram

Unfortunately there isn't really a good twisty road within an hour of my place in Houston, but when I'm at our farmhouse I make this loop around the Balcones Cayonlands NWR.

As always, the only way to read a Yarvin post is to imagine him softly whispering this to his Waifu pillow late at night.

First drive of the spring β€” replaced the driveshaft center support bearing this winter and that took care of a weird noise I had last fall.

It just fires up and goes after sitting all winter.

Currently there seems to be at least three different Toyotas and they all absolutely hate each other.
The motorsports branding you see will depend on which particular faction controls the marketing department on any a given day.

Rainy day today, but it's getting warmer and will soon be a good time to take the bike and the British roadsters out to Hawks Nest (45 minutes from me).
Got any favourite roads you like?

You have to assume that at least one of these guys was at the Capitol on Jan 6.

Probably accurate. He definitely doesn't look like a dude that has much time left.

The VK50 basically existed as an LMP3 engine. I wonder if there was a regulation saying they had to use it in a certain number of road cars.

Florida is like Texas in the sense that there are at least six different Floridas and I get the appeal of maybe two of them.
