San Francisco Radio Host Urges His Listeners To 'Take Out' A Rider

No really, you read that right! This FUCKTARD radio DJ lost his cool and actually promoted on air that they should "take out" motorcyclists as they lane split. At least in the end he is making an effort to make it right, and is actually going to take an MSF course and try support charity event for motorcycle awareness.

Passat broken - Kirsten says Mark has a lead foot - Mark claims insanity (guilty but insane)

So on the way to an appointment this morning as we were going up the on-ramp to I15 a little red VW Golf decided he needed to beat us onto the ramp. Those of you who know me understand that it isn't physically possible for me to restrain myself from downshifting and flooring the car. So instinctively I do so and as the transition from third to second is made there is a pop so I let off the throttle. My wife is sure I have blown the engine in her Passat. As I lightly accelerate I notice that the car is still running fine, just a little louder. I assure her that it is simply a turbo manifold gasket or perhaps the small exhaust leak we have had for months finally let go. Upon arriving at our appointment I opened the hood and quickly found that the weld from the catalytic converter to the turbo manifold is broken. Arg. Not as easy as a fix. So a few google searches later I found a replacement catalytic converter for about $200.00 shipped. Not to bad all things considered. But I am not going to admit defeat just yet. I think I can weld the manifold back together. It doesn't appear that the weld broke due to heat. More likely a result of the engine shifting (slightly worn motor mounts that I have wanted to address for months) and the sudden increase in exhaust pressure. Oh well. Someday I hope to have a new car and not have to worry about such things. Now Kirsten gets the unfortuneate blessing of driving a Passat that sounds like a drag car. At least we can finally hear the sweet whistle of the KKK turbo.

Here comes the snow...Just a little late

So for the last several days the weatherpeople (read idots) have been predicting a big snow storm. Yesterday the big news was that we would wake up to as much as a foot on the valley floor. Well I wake up this morning and barely a trace is on the grass and the sky is blue. So much for that storm. Well it is now 2:00, and I decided to head up to work to pick up my mountain bike and bring it home for some maintenance. It is snowing hard now, and maybe for once they got it...if not just a little late. I really hope we get dumped on, there is something I just love about valley snow.
