It Is Very Simple, Actually

The formula for winning at life is actually incredibly simple

How to win at life

The goal of life is simple: it is to level up as much as possible. Each level in life presents a particular challenge that you must overcome. Once you overcome that challenge, you get to move on to the next level. The goal is to complete as many levels as possible. At the end of the game, the person at the highest level gets to have the best funeral.
There are five levels in life:
  • Level 1 – Find food; find a bed to sleep in at night
  • Level 2 – Know you’re not going to die
  • Level 3 – Find your people
  • Level 4 – Do something that’s important and valuable to both yourself and others
  • Level 5 – Create a legacy
Level 1 just means you’re not homeless and/or starving. This is a prerequisite for just about everything else. Chances are, if you’re stuck on level 1, you aren’t even reading this right now.

Level 2 gets a bit more complicated, because a lot of people do have a nice bed to sleep in every night, but they can’t sleep because of gunshots outside or bombs exploding over their city, or maybe Dad’s a drunk and keeps trying to set the house on fire.

None of these things are cool. Level 2 requires that you find a secure and stable home to base yourself out of. Getting past level 2 requires finding a way to successfully remove yourself from these dangerous situations.

Level 3 means relationships, finding the right people to love and the right people who love you.

This sounds way easier and more fun than it is. Mainly because, as you’ve likely found out by now, most people suck.

Navigating to the ones who don’t is a whole tricky matter that I’ll get to in a bit.

Level 4 means building up some skill or knowledge or ability that adds value to the world around you and also makes you feel like kind of a badass in the process.

Level 5 just means making sure your life mattered when you’re dead. Good luck with that champ.

I Want To Drive This

Holy Crap They Actually Got A Toyota Land Cruiser To Do 230 MPH



The Cruiser runs its regular U.S.-market 5.7-liter 3UR-FE V8, saddled with a pair of “volleyball-sized Garrett turbochargers that are capable of producing up to 55 psi of boost,” according to Toyota.

Stronger pistons, rods and a redesigned intake manifold were also installed, “among other key items” to allow the engine to generate what Toyota’s claiming was “over 2,000 horsepower” without exploding.


The transmission was completely custom, but the stock wooden steering wheel was left in place.

Oh Sweet Chariot

Someone Please Buy Us This Ultra-Rare Lightweight Porsche 911 Turbo S 

One of just 86 ever made, this 964 911 Turbo S Leichtbau is special for more than one reason, and we want it 


This rare slice of Stuttgart metal is one you really don’t see or hear about very often, though. It’s not as overtly special as some of the cheaper machines up for grabs at the Silverstone Auctions May Sale, but it’s a gem to those who know. It’s a 1993 911 Turbo S ‘Leichtbau’, or Lightweight. Some say it means more like ‘Light Build’ but the literal translation works for us. Just 86 examples of the 964-era car were ever built, of which this is number 51. Even in black it’s stunning. Just don’t look at the interior, or the 1990s cool might overwhelm you. Oh, go on then, but don’t say we didn’t warn you:

What made it special wasn’t just the scarcity; it was the weight-saving measures. Some 180kg was chopped out of the regular Turbo to create the first globally-sold Porsche to wear the S suffix. It comes with a Porsche certificate of authenticity, lots of history and a price tag that says ‘no, no you can’t afford me.’ The lower estimate is £475,000, but sensible bids could reach £575,000, according to the auctioneers.

This Is Not A Bad Looking Kit Car

This Kit Car Is the Best Place for a 400-HP Subaru WRX Engine 

The Factory Five 818C is a bit of an odd kit car, but it has all the right pieces to be a great driving experience.


Called the 818C, it's a tube frame kit car with a fiberglass body and a Subaru WRX or WRX STI engine mounted right behind the driver. This particular 818C has a 2.5 liter from a 2006 WRX that makes 400 horsepower, and the car weighs right around 2,000 pounds. That means it's rather quick.

But it's not without issues.

It doesn't even have a passing resemblance to ergonomics. The nav system is an iPad mounted on the dash. If you're slightly tall, you can't really fit without hunching. The pedal box takes a lot of getting used to.

If you can get past all that, and the price that can range from $40,000 all the way to $65,000, then you have an interesting alternative to the other flat-four options.
