We hated to leave Guatemala. I’ve never entered a country not knowing a soul and left with several close friends. Still, we needed to get a move on and head for El Salvador. We’d heard the most bad news about El Sal and Honduras so this could be interesting. 

Con la de llegada del invierno y dependiendo de la zona donde vivas, surgen nuevos problemas para tu auto. Para ser más exactos, con los neumáticos. Si tu vehículo tiene tracción delantera o total y frenos antibloqueo, puedes pensar que no hace falta cambiar a los de invierno. ¿Entonces?

De esto va...

Last night’s NBA Rising Stars Challenge was a laugher, and not even just for the usual reasons (no defense, sloppy passing, reckless shooting, general exhibition behavior): This time, the World team just kinda flattened the U.S. team, from start to finish, so that what is always a talent show masquerading as a contest...

He’s 12 and talking about engine swaps. Love this dude!  And my son, too.

This is another from the Aussie Road Ragers line that I picked up on the recent trip to heaven . The Viscount won me over, it’s such an accurate model of a van that is still a common sight around the country. The Falcon GTHO Phase III is a special car in Australian motoring history and was for a time reported to be the fastest four door production car in Australia.

Yesterday it was 89 and muggy. High temperature for today was 79 degrees at 12:01 am. And don’t let that picture fool you. It’s dark and cloudy and windy and otherwise miserable.

Omarosa Manigault Newman, the senior White House staffer turned author, said recently during her book tour that she had heard a tape of President Donald Trump using the n-word during his time on the reality show The Apprentice....

Hard to imagine that anyone would use that as an advertising slogan. But Malcolm Bricklin decided that this was the best way to market the car in the US.

The car was car manufactured and marketed from 1958 to 1971 by Subaru. As the company’s first automobile, production reached 392,000 over its 12-year model run.

Noted for its small overall size, 1,000 lb curb weight, monocoque...

La pregunta que siempre cae en una entrevista de trabajo es “háblame un poco sobre ti”. Parece una forma de romper el hielo, una pregunta abierta que puedes responder con información sobre tu vida personal o explicando brevemente por qué dejaste tu último trabajo. Pero también es una bala segura que puedes aprovechar para dejar la mejor impresión posible en el entrevistador.

¿Y cómo se...

Came within $500 of buying a new car today. It still went for a good price, but it is probably best that I don’t add another automotive mouth to the family. 

Trying out night sight on the Potato 3. Car looks cleaner than it is so that's nice. 

Looking to revamp your place without spending a fortune (or hitting up Ikea)? Urban Outfitters has a pretty spot-on collection of furniture and they’re marking it all down by up to 40%. Beds, couches, chairs, coffee tables, decor, and more are all included, plus since it’s Friday the...

There’s a whole lot to chew on (and possibly also retch up) in ESPN reporter Ian O’Connor’s substantial profile of James Dolan up today. Over the course of a two-hour interview, Dolan faced good, tough questions and responded at surprising length. He also displayed his trademark sensitivity and thoughtfulness on a whole range of issues.

When revisiting Madison Square Garden’s 2007 sexual...

Just two weeks before the start of the 2019 race season—and just a few months after she entered NHRA’s stretch of championship races in 2018 as the top seed in the Funny Car division—the winningest woman in that class, Courtney Force, announced Thursday that she’s stepping away from driving.

Even with the announcement coming so close to the start of the new season, Force said her decision is...

One of the best pieces of advice I ever received for getting my then-preschooler out the door in the morning was to create a visual checklist to guide him. I made...

Vizio’s 65" P-Series TV has pretty much everything you could want, including Dolby Vision HDR (the good kind ), smart apps, and even 128 local dimming zones. Walmart has it for $950 right now, compared to $1300 or more elsewhere on the web.

TV manufacturers always look...

Welcome again to another DLM cars from 1/64 and smaller and sometimes larger. So I stumbled upon the Best of Matchbox series for 2017 in our TRU and not all of the models were available but found what I think is the most colorful police car that I’ve ever seen. So here’s my 63rd post with the BMW M5 Police from Matchbox.

Considered as a premium, the Best of Matchbox comes in a bigger blister...

If I had a nightmare after staying awake for two days spent drinking and reading Tolkien it might be something like Ralph Bakshi’s 1978 Lord of the Rings. I have a lot of respect for Bakshi and there are a lot of good ideas in this movie. It is often effectively frightening but it comes nowhere near being all the things a Lord of the Rings adaptation needs to be.

I don’t think all the horror...
