If I were to glance at Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, I would understand that I am lacking in many things: stability, financial success, emotional maturity within relationships, a thorough understanding of Maslov’s Hierarchy of Needs. But one thing I do not lack is self-awareness. And in this case, such self-awarenss manifests in this convoluted and…

The very first post on this site happened ten years ago to the day. Tim (AKA Mad_Science) opened us up with a discussion about what this place is. It’s changed. It’s evolved. People have come and gone, so have the cars. But our core is still in place. We just love cars, plain and simple.…
