Welcome back to another episode of DT’s favorite game of musical thrones…known better as “Mid Week Match-Up” which is a strange name for a game on Friday, but we aren’t here to talk about that. We are here to talk about DT’s friend, who for the sake of anonymity will be called M. M isn’t […]
You know how I love to help DT readers. Right? Okay, maybe not help as much as ridicule, marginalize, and bully…but it’s basically the same thing if you really get to the core. If you weren’t bullied as a 1st grader, you’d probably still suck your thumb and wear really short jean shorts (the kind […]
Mid Week Match-Up time!! I probably started to appreciate fine cinema around the same time as I found my love of cars…which is likely a typical experience. Thankfully, the world of cinema is infused with the sweet scent of gasoline and you can get faked version of movie cars for less than the cost of […]
This week’s Mid-Week Match-Up is for friend of DT Dan E who tell us that he will be in Europe on an extended vacation/sabbatical for 9 weeks with his small family (wife + kid). In his words: plan is to buy a sweet ride to explore in. I have a friend we are staying with […]
I had the good fortune to attend the 2018 Luftgekühlt show this past weekend at Ganahl Lumber in sunny Torrance, CA. Luftgekühlt is a pop-up car show that invites something like 500 of the best air cooled Porsche machines from around SoCal, and co-founder (LeMans winning driver) Patrick Long shared his thoughts on the event with […]
So, I’ve got a new (to me!) car that needs various pieces of work — needs new/re-upholstered seats, fix some oil leaks, fix botched paint repair, install flamethrower (it is a BMW, so I’ll also remove the turn signal wiring for weight reduction) — and I’ll need something to drive occasionally for the next few […]
I know it is late Wednesday evening…but that doesn’t mean there isn’t time for a quick Mid Week Match-Up…because the week is half over and the matching isn’t done yet! This next request is for a guy who, for the sake of anonymity, we will call Dave. Dave needs a car to replace his rusting […]
Happy Pi Day to all math nerds out on the web. That’s affirmative, today is Pi Day — 3.14 — a nicely rounded version of the irrational number that was closely approximated with polygons by the Greek mathematician Archimedes around 250 BC. We are going to celebrate Pi Day with a special edition of the […]
Anyone who has kids has either encountered this issue or will sometime in the future — what do you let your kid drive for a first car? This week’s Mid Week Match-Up request comes from Dee who asks DT’s help in finding a first driver for her soon-to-be 16 year old son. His grandpa wants […]
Sorry Matt LeBlanc, but the current BBC Top Gear show is just unwatchable and the Grand Tour (starring those three nincompoops from the old Top Gear) is seriously good telly. For this week’s Mid Week Match-Up, I’d like to challenge our readers to find a car for Jeremy Clarkson, James May, or Richard Hammond. My […]
