Metal detecting on the beaches of Vancouver has yielded me many peculiarly-worn specimens like this 1997 dime. I suppose salt water is the cause but most coins I find which were destroyed by salt water don’t end up like this. Some do, but most don’t.

During the 1990 24 Hours of Le Mans, a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-8 Group C Nissan R90CK suffered a jammed wastegate. It led to unintended overboost producing over 1100 HP, allowing Mark Blundell to set a pole-position lap over 6 seconds ahead of the pack hitting 238 mph on the Mulsanne Straight.

Anyone know what this is all about? Has only happened once (so far) but the next day the infotainment system seemed frozen and did not show correct information and climate screen wouldn’t load. Both corrected by turning off engine and restarting car.

I created a few digital composites of wheels on an MX-3 like my project car (same colour / model). They're all 17" (approximated). Someone had earlier suggested I use AI to do this but I found AI would never get the scale correct and it would change the wheel design in its renders. Thoughts?

Bought this at a flea market from a guy who said he’d dug it locally. I loved the colour and shape the instant I saw it. According to what I’ve researched on it so far, it’s a French Cognac bottle circa 1930s. Is this correct?

I bought a small box of mixed international coins at a flea market today. It has quite a few interesting coins from all over the place. Figured I should share the Canadian ones with the fine folks here as I know you’d all appreciate having a look.

I found this in my crunchy organic peanut butter. I gagged on it and nearly upchucked but thankfully the object did not go down the hat hatch. Looks like a piece of a plastic wicker basket or something. Anyone have a better guess?

I love the smell of an R32 GTR cooking tires in the morning.

Rally drivers have a way of persevering in the face of adversity. Case in point, when the throttle cable breaks, the race goes on.

The AZ-3 front bumper I bought on Yahoo Auctions Japan almost a year ago still sits at my buddy’s place awaiting my getting it shipped over to me in Canada. The main problem with ordering larger items like this in Japan is shipping. There’s no easy & affordable way to go about it.

Spotted this unicorn at the grocery store, there to do what it was made for.
