Prehistoric Ford SUVs! Jose Canseco! Sparking discussions with the sparkless! Brake pads that SQUEAK! It’s all here in the Weekly Roundup.
Brother Bark returns to the lineup this week with an op-ed comparing #Dieselgate to the “Steroid Era” of baseball. Bark fails to mention that he and I both met McGwire the year after he hit 49, and that he was already as large as a polar bear.
At Road&Track this week, I have a paean to the surprisingly engaging Bentley Continental GT3-R, a think piece about the future of diesel that was one of the most popular things on the Web that day, period point blank, and a brief discussion on ways to get a Performance Car Of The Year for free.
For TTAC, I indulged my weakness for titles that refer to other titles with What Were Once MINIs Have Become Habitual and The Last Days Of Bronco, referring to a Doobie Brothers record and a movie that itself refers to a novel.
This upcoming week, I’ll be contesting the NASA sprint races at Mid-Ohio and doing some off-road motorcycling in SoCal. Bark will, I hope, be mentally preparing for the AER enduro at Mid-O in three weeks. I’ll also be doing my first drafts of PCOTY, which I can now report was definitely not won by the Porsche Boxster S.
Does this mean that your Boxster is a $15,000 Boxster?
Wow! Your R&T piece cause a “bleep” storm of comments. Looks like you are a big government liberal, poor writer, and have absolutely no experience with car. Who knew? I’d say the article was a success and to all of those saying they are canceling their subscription, you know you’ll be the first one to read and comment on Jack’s next article.
Jack, I was going to look up one of your other posts about the fucked up sexuality of millennials to post this but..
You must watch.
This was awesome. I’m a millennial and enjoy the bad decisions women make much like Jack but I totally agree with what this guy says.
