Sharry and I found the best place to run the JATO – amidst mountain of mulch, right near the DMV in Winsted! Mulch is great for many reasons. First, it’s got plenty of little bumps and humps to make driving fun and challenging. If you wipe out, it’s not as abrasive on the car as …
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of picking up a like-new Traxxas JATO 3.3. My JATO had somehow gotten rusted over the winter in my barn. Lesson learned. However, the aluminum hop-up parts I’d bought were still almost mint. They needed a buffing and I cleverly thought to throw a couple coats of clear enamel on …
Go ahead and give it a shot. You will not win. Not even if you take a running start up to the thing. Not even if you take a running start up to the tree on a downhill. Not even if you take a running start up to the tree on a downhill and you’re …

It was a good thing I called yesterday to see when my highly anticipated trike would be delivered, because apparently they needed to speak to me to arrange for a delivery and didn’t have any contact info for me. So I asked if I could just pick it up. From the title, you know that …
THIS IS TORTURRRRRRRRRE! I WANT THAT TRIKE SO BAD. AAAAAAG! THEY PASSED MY DAMN HOUSE ON THE WAY TO HARTFORD. THEY COULD HAVE CHUCKED IT OFF THE TRUCK AND I’D GO PICK IT UP. DAAAAAAAAAAAAG. This is what it will look like, by the way.

I am excited. I hope it gets here before the holiday weekend, because you know the shipping dudes are going to be drinking and partying and probably blacking out, or selling their freight for more booze money.
