Standard On Your Next Set Of Tires: Judgment
I understand the little leaning motorcycle, but what the hell is going on with that elephant?
The guys over at Asphalt & Rubber have made note of the latest development in motorcycle tires. Now will you not only have shameful chicken strips on the sides of your tires to indicate how much of a badass you are (or are not, in my case), if you bought a set of Metzler Sportec M5's, they'll include some awesome pictograms to help your buddies rank your skills as a rider.
Meanwhile, keep trying to convince your friends that you're not a wimp, you're just riding fresh rubber. It might work.
Not at Your Local Pick’N'Pull: Porsche 917 Throttle Bodies
!!!
This hatter-mad seller on eBay is offering up a pair of throttle bodies for the legendary Porsche 917. If you've never heard of this particular beast before, then allow me to pull your head out from under that rock. In various forms (including the super-bad-ass Long Tail 917 pictured above, in equally bad-ass Gulf Oil Livery), the 917 dominated the 24 Hours of LeMans in 1970 and 1971, as well as delivering insane punishment unto the 1973 CanAm Series, where its pancake 12 cylinder engine was twin-turbocharged up to a modest 1,580 bhp. Not too bad.
If you share the seller's insanity, you can take this pair of throttle bodies for the Buy It Now price of $3,995. Of course, with no indication as to whether or not these babies ever lapped the Circuit de la Sarthe, you'll have to be a real Porschephile in order to justify dropping that kind of coin. Unless you're cobbling together bits for your garage-rebuilt 917. In which case, shine on you crazy diamond.
Via Hooniverse, naturally.

The Nurburgring: 1967, as narrated by Sir Jackie Stewart
This video does a pretty good job describing why I'm racing in the 24 Hours of Lemons. I may be too late to take flying laps to the Nurburgring with Sir Jackie in bell bottoms, but I'm damn sure going to seize on my opportunity to take a team racing. Even if it is in a clunkbucket.
