One of the reasons you will find ads placed within articles is because they are more effective when run next to editorial content. You noticed the ads didn't you?
When we sell advertising space, we want to make sure the client buying that space has the …
No, not like that.
I stepped on the scale the other day and it topped 360 pounds. That is a pile of weight. I'm frequently out of breath after walking any distance. My hips and knees hurt. My arms are almost too short to reach around my girth to scratch my …
Let me preface this by saying, I love my wife, but technical she isn't. When we married, she barely knew how to put gas in a car, much less how to open the hood or know why it quit. Over the last 30 years, she's picked up a few things, …

So....some on here may remember about 10-11 years ago I had a 308 GT4 that was blown up and I was doing an STI swap in the back of it. It got really to close to firing and I ended up selling it. I got married, moved from Georgia to Alaska, …

Thank you everyone! Sorry I was so berkin awkward on stage, I was just in shock and this still isn't real to me. I want to let you all know just how meaningful this win is to me. It's been a pretty tumultuous year or so of my life, but …

If you had followed the hurricane Ian thread you saw "my bees" made it through the storm OK. Well, during clean up after the storm I was trimming trees and got a good look at the situation. The hive was mostly hidden by palm fronds and some Brazilian pepper tree …

Why is she still your girlfriend?
I had an MX-5 for a track day last summer. On the way to the track, a guy in a black Genesis coupe rode my ass and then finally flew by me and 3 others doing about a buck-fifty. Sure enough, I get to the track and he's there. I …

My mother was an amazing chef. Every afternoon at 4:30 she'd start prepping food, and every night at 6:00, we'd sit down to an incredible meal. Potatoes on the right, veggies to the left. Meat was front and center. The salad (never from a bag) sat off to the side, …

After several weeks of OPP(Other People's Projects), I needed a shop cleanup day. Piles of leftovers, part-out bits, and general mess covered every raised horizontal surface and too much of the floor. I started with the "project shelf" which was mostly cluttered with junk from previous adventures that past me …

It's been a decade, so I thought I would update my progress accumulating parts and assembling a 1966 Porsche 906. In 2014 I bought an original body from two different cars and the rear of a 910. I planned to build a chassis using factory blueprints. My three kids were …
