Filmmaker, camera nerd, friend to animals and the elderly. I drive/love weird cars because life is too short to roll around in a Camry.
Yall thought Falluja was bad?

This is an aerial view of the massive Petare neighborhood, in Caracas.

There are no maps, GPS is of no help, and the police don’t dare to enter.

It would be certain death for American boots on the ground.

I'll always want one.

Oof.

I got lucky and found one 100 miles away.

I snagged a one-way ticket and picked it up the next day, sight-unseen.

They're worth the hunt.

Love how Ford was like "Actually we're also gonna use this steering wheel on the Aston-Martins as well."

This is what happens when you use wire insulation made from soybeans.

Well done, Bentley.

Working out a new stills config. Trying not to succumb to the new A7R5.

Friendly reminder to do Land Rover things with your Land Rover.

They looked like the puppets from Phil Collins' "Land of Confusion" music video, to me.

Why do they all look like muppets?

Is everyone too afraid to tell them what they've done to their faces?

This shit is surreal.

Aerial view of a neighborhood in Caracas.

The cops don't even know "the routes."

There is no GPS that can help you navigate the Venezulan ranchos.

Not trynna sound like an old man but these new video games need to settle down.

I'm not sure when it happened but the under-the-hood stuff remained quite good in the supercharged S-Type (and one of my Range Rovers).

I have a 2018 XF-S SportBrake and can confirm that they got "it" back prior to 2018.

Today’s episode of Old Bentley Bullshit features these frayed wires wrapped in “biodegradable insulation,” which was supposed to save the earth or something.

These in particular are linked to the ride height sensors, which are linked to

-gestures wildly-

literally every other system.

Mid-90’s Nissan 200sx.

Quite possibly the slowest vehicle I have have ever driven. Even with the manual transmission.

It got me places, though.

Sure, Grandpa. Let's get you back to the MRI machine.

I refuse to believe that Bentley shifted from a completely different sensor from the 2003 Arnage when the Continental was released.

That's not how mass car manufacturing economics works.

$600 vs $76.

This is my "Chair Company" and i'll die on that hill.
