I won a Kyle Busch swag package from Cheddars a few years ago and most of it has lived with my NASCAR collection but in light of recent events, I figured the diecast they sent me deserved to be unboxed and get a proper display case and home.

I know the graph only shows green and yellow, but I wish they’d take the average lap time up to the red flag and then give a little red bar in the little graph for how many laps they *could* have run in the time the red flag took. I just like the fun colors on the lines. I think that’d be neat.

This is exactly how I react when I’m out of town and find a store that carries Pibb Xtra.

Penske I’m begging you to give Cindric more and better merch. Let me get a standard crown New Era snapback. Doesn’t gotta be anything crazy. Just the 2 and his signature on the side. Please.

The beef barley soup at this tiny deli by my grandparents’ old house. Used to go there once every week for lunch, buy a quart of it, and sit at one of the “it seats two but it’s gonna be tight” booths” reading a book or working on my laptop. Just want her back.

If you see this post, quote with a bridge from your gallery

At last, it has arrived. The Japan market "for Tourist export" Sony BMC-100 Betamovie. Absolutely mint aside from the poor sticker application by the original owner. Complete in box, foam on the microphone is still supple and not crumbling, all the articulations are crisp and snappy.

The BradPhone has arrived. @randall.gobirds.online has a great unboxing post, I will be doing an in-depth review once I've had a chance to use it for a few days. NASCAR sponsors, give us more esoteric, silly crap like this and I will eat it up like a Sanders bumpy cake.

My favorite part of taking a weekender on the lake in the dead of winter is laying in the big bed and listening to MoFi SACD rips on the Walkman. Highly recommended.
