It never occurred to me that even the box would be retro! Last week, on Instagram, I read that “at the age of 40, ‘pulling all the tricks’ means getting off the ground. At the age of 50, it means just showing up.” Guess I’d better get at least one wheel off the ground with this.
Brother Bark and I weren’t hyper-productive last week, but we did get a few things out the door; I guess that’s sort of like “pulling all the tricks” when you’re also trying to make it through Christmas alive, right?
At TTAC, Bark wrote a fiction sequel and recommended the purchase of a Mustang.
For R&T, I talked about a way to bring cars back by fixing CAFE and a Porsche photoshop that unintentionally tells the truth.
My TTAC contributions last week were a review of the new Cruze and a tale of doc fees, long may they waive.
My ambitious Christmas travel schedule means I’m already behind the 8-ball for this week’s contributions, so if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to build this bike and do some no-foot endos work very hard!
Jack, I wanted to be you (in spirit, I didn’t know you) back in 7th and 8th grade. Wanted a Haro (can’t remember the exact model) just like Mike King worse than anything, which my friend down the street had. My parents weren’t the supportive type, so instead I got Dyno GT that was too small for me. I just rode it around town instead of on BMX tracks doing cool jumps. Hearing about all your broken bones makes me somewhat happy how it turned out.
The link to the review of the Cruze is wrong it takes you the Porsche photoshop article.
The best I could do was a huffy pro thunder. It had the pads, but no cred. Still, I took it to a few BMX tracks when my friend with the cool parents would take me. Mountain biking in my 20’s was almost as good, when I finally started to learn to make my own happiness rather than wait for others to bestow it on me. I’m still learning, honestly, which I likely why I like to read these stories from time to time.
