Now that I'm becoming a regular Balt-Wash commuter again, I'm reminded of just how _bad_ the drivers are in this area.  I mean Bad.  Really, really bad.  Epic-ly bad.  Every commute is like a 45 minute LeMons race, complete with breakdowns, caution flag… more »

A few posts ago I went into excruciating detail about the Class V hitch I'd installed on my tow pig, the ubiquitous Dodge Apacalypse Power Wagon.  Along with the 15,000 pound hitch, I also wired in a trailer brake controller.  Unfortunately, I discovere… more »

The original Cummin-powered Dodge pickups were known for many things- reliability, fuel economy, and longevity chief among them- but let's face it: the reason folks bought these homely oil-burning utes was simple: to be able to haul or tow as much as ph… more »

I created this category, "Tuna Whips", not in the hopes that it would devolve into some weird sado-masochistic fish f*tish place (seriously, Kevin?  "F*tish" is blacklisted?  Will you please reset the blarg settings so I can type things like F*tish and T… more »

I've always found it to be a strange feeling coming home after a vacation.  For that matter, vacations are always a little weird.  I blame that on the routine that inevitably pervades one's daily life- 5 days of work followed by a 2 day break.  When you… more »

Woke up this morning and decided to go see the sun rise up over the Atlantic Ocean, at the Southernmost point in the continental U.S.A.  Of course, the nice thing about Key West is that you can also watch the sun set...over the Gulf of Mexico. Hap… more »

No posts in a week?  What's going on?  I'll tell you what:  We're in Florida! We're in Miami today, heading toward the Keys.  Let's keep the fan belts tight now! more »

As I've mentioned earlier, having Judgely duties bestowed upon one for a LeMons even isn't all hard work and smelly cohorts and cheaty drivers.  Naw, there's PERKS!  And besides getting to careen around the paddock on an unstable internal combustion bars… more »

After last week, many (of our half-score or so) of you are probbly thinking, "Wow, he took the engine out of his daily driver for the LeMons car.  What kind of a nutcase dedicated racer is he?"  And, after a bit of time "Uh...what's he going to drive to… more »

Been busy.  Much happening, very little of it LeMons related.  For instance, I got this shiney new internet service.  Its called Sprint, though whenever I try to type "Sprint", it ends up coming out as "Spring" and I have to back up and correct it.  At a… more »

Back in the heady days of the 1970's, you just weren't cool unless you had a Citizen's Band radio.  This is what I have been told, anyway.  You see, I was born pretty late into the 1970's (around the time that disco reached its zenith and automobile, the… more »
Since the anti-climactic LeMons race about a month ago (editor's note: has it really been only a month?  It seems like years and years ago...) I've made a few posts on the race, and the car.  I think Brian made a post and so did Rob.  But, I realize that… more »
