(Last) Weekly Roundup: A Can Of Jim Edition

Coincidence is a terrible thing, Yossarian. It really is.

Just two weeks ago I wrote about Jimmy Levan and The Church Gap. Three days ago, my Instagram suggested posts included a picture of the "Jim" shirt. I suppose I should be grateful; it's easier to screencap an Insta-post than it is to go into the basement and find one T-shirt in four boxes of fifty shirts each. But somehow Instagram has become convinced that I want to see a whole bunch of vintage BMX stuff in my feed, which is too fucking depressing for words. Depressing because I could no more ride BMX competitively right now than I could flap my arms and fly to the moon. Even more depressing because it's been a long time since I've seen something I wanted as much as I once wanted, say, a Redline RL-20. Well, it don't pay to think too much / on things you leave behind.

Speaking of things left behind: let's catch up on what Bark and I wrote this past week.

It's always a great week for Bark when he can use a picture of Katt Williams. But it's an even better week when he can use a picture of his new Focus RS.

At TTAC, I discussed service contracts.

For R&T, I offered some thoughts on why expensive cars now sound like '77 Novas and reviewed the Lamborghini LP580-2 Huracan from the perspective of a starving musician.

Don't forget to buy the November issue of Road&Track. With every issue sold, I get that much closer to my goal of being more widely read than Philip Roth.
