Punch Rick Wagoner In The Face

Dick is in the middle.

Rick is in the middle.

It’s not news that the Obama administration has asked Rick Wagoner to step down from his position as CEO of General Motors, but it’s just now that we’re getting wind of his golden parachute package.

Cosworth Subaru EJ25 STi short block.

Sometimes I really hate my car and I really hate racing it.

Apparently about a month or two ago when I was at Willow Springs, I overheated so badly with the stock radiator that my heads lifted a little and I…
