What do I recommend for long road trips?
Audio books!
Lots and lots of audio books. Because when you’re trucking 90MPH between El Paso and Austin (the posted limit is 80MPH, btw) at 2am in the morning, you aren’t going to find your favorite NPR station.
I picked up The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, and it [...]
I forgot how good I had it back in Arkansas. How’s that you say? I had a Drive-In theater. Oh how I miss those days, my dad would prepare by Windexing the windshield windows, grab all the blankets we could find, and make a run for the EZ Mart before heading into the theater.
Perhaps it [...]
The leaves changing color. Autumn smells in the air. Pumpkin spice.
AND BRAKE LIGHTS!!!
Why you ask? Because it drizzled this morning. Drizzle. No, not a thunder storm, not even rain that sticks and makes the ground wet. Just little spittle from the sky on your windshield. So now all ass hats have to hug their brake [...]
Yeah, me thats who.

When it comes to rush hour on the Bay Bridge, FasTrak isn’t very fast anymore.
In fact, on many mornings, the backup in the supposedly speedy new FasTrak lanes is worse than in the regular cash lanes.
The problem has become [...]
My car license plate was stolen tonight.
But you’ll never guess where.
Was it Richmond, the city in California with the highest crime rate? Or perhaps Oakland, the next highest? I mean my car does spend more than 8 hours at each of these places, of course some fucktard would try (and do) that stunt in those [...]
Your electric blue, stock Scion tC is not a race car. It doesn’t not go fast, it does not have ‘zip’. Your engine is no bigger than mine in my Corolla.
Your 1980 egg white BMW does not mean you are ‘pimpin’, and add your temporary license plate on that, and you’re screaming white trash. No [...]
So while researching about the Bay Bridge Closure, I read up on the new FasTrak lanes that were suppose to opening up soon. They kept saying they’d open them in the summer, but uh Gentleman, we are now approaching fall.
Anywho, I’m not too happy with how its turning out. Apparently they are opening the new [...]
So apparently everyone and their dog knows about this.

Getting the word out on Bay Bridge closure over Labor Day weekend

By now, probably everyone west of the Rockies and south of Nome, Alaska, has heard that the Bay Bridge is going to be closed over Labor Day weekend.
If they [...]
How to piss off other drivers if they ‘done did you wrong’:
Situation 1 - You’re in front.
1. Wash your windshield. Pull back your little lever (or whatever it is you have to do to get your windshield washer fluid going) and then peak in your rear-view mirror. Trust me, they’ll get the idea. It only [...]
Drivers who forget that their blinker is still on a mile after they made their turn make me nervous.
I mean if they can’t hear the little clicky that your blinker makes, how in the hell am I suppose to trust you that you can handle driving on the mad and wild crazy streets of the [...]
