@MckayMorte33016 @TheAutopian Paperback, since you asked. But either one is fantastic—just happy to have the book out there!
English
There's an excerpt from my book on @TheAutopian!
Also, @TheAutopian is great and you should consider supporting it!
(Also hi, Matt!)

I finally got @ThatSamSmith on @the_autopian theautopian.com/how-i-went-fro… (buy his book)

Honesty is the best policy, right?
(Even—perhaps especially—if it makes you appear to have the value system of a lobotomy patient.)

@MattHardigree @ThatSamSmith @the_autopian "Caterhams are sports cars, small and bare-bones, purpose-built in England for speed and feedback. You don’t buy one unless you’re a glutton for punishment. Which is fitting, really, because you don’t decide to be a writer for a living unless, well, same." Dammit, Sam...

Thanks, Adrian!
WE HERE AT SMITHCO INDUSTRIES PRIDE OURSELVES ON VALUE.
OH! I have a book out!
- A cross-section of my writing about cars, from R&T, Hagerty, and Roundel, w/photos
- Self-published, so you're supporting the work directly. Check it out, if you get a sec!

On weight alone it's probably worth the money.

@BoziTatarevic @pkligerman It's easy, it's practical, it's versatile, it packs light and small, it's timeless, it works for shoots stretching across multiple days but meant to depict one day...
Good ones aren't expensive...
(Also: It hides when I spill food on myself.)

You have no idea how hard, you just made a couple people in my life laugh.
Once I discovered the versatility of the black t shirt. It stuck with me

@themoneylap @pkligerman @landoncassill I introduce you to the @pkligerman starter pack for all of your @themoneylap YouTube episodes. Not to spoil his extensive wardrobe of black shirts unlike the spoilers over at spoiler diecast dot com to get high quality diecasts from the fastest growing company in the industry.

And another thing, he said, yelling at cloud:
Your past wasn't better. A lot of people thought Senna was the worst thing to happen to F1 in years. Enzo Ferrari was a tortured genius, but he was also a callous prick. Shakespeare was seen as a cheap populist.
It's always nuance.
English
Exactly!
Life is nuance in the moment. People have been pretending the past was flawless for centuries. I adore history, but the Greek root of "nostalgia" just means "return-home pain."
Nice, in small doses. So long as you still look for the good you have, keep moving forward.

So have many great champions. Eras decried as boring at the time and yet we look back upon as moments of rare perfection in our sport. Life is about appreciation of what we have in the now. Too often we only recognise the majesty of the moment in retrospect.

It really is great that we see so many pictures of drivers putting earpieces into their ears while staring into the distance like George Patton. I always wondered what it looked like when they did that.
