... hearing that your dad's cancer is back isn't easy news to take.

It was a good day today with the family. Tomorrow we're seeing mom and having her evaluated for hospice.

I've been in your shoes, it's not fun. Just spend as much time with her as you can.

Let me know if I can help in any way. Otherwise go spend the time with your family.

These are the voters nixing legalization is all I'm saying. He died in 2017 though, and eventually times will change. I don't use the stuff myself but it's just not something that ought to be policed. Absolutely, I understand the context of the time period they were raised in and the anti-marijuana...

Beats me. My dad was born in 1934, so not a boomer. He was an alcoholic (reformed at some juncture, to his credit) but man that devil's lettuce was the root of all evil. Substance that makes you angry and want to fight people? That's John Wayne shit right there. Substance that makes you want to chi...

Boomers played the hand they were dealt. They just had a much better hand from the start than millennials did.

Carlin nails it tho.

So tell us about Janet Guthrie. Was she sending a tweet or what?

She was filming content for her OnlyFans, twiddling her twat whilst behind the wheel.

It was an older woman. OnlyGrans

Got a call yesterday. Nothing broken. He believes it's a sprained trapezius,

RAV4.

Hmmm that looks like a brand new Honda hrv though …

You're right. My bad.

It was hard to tell, because...

Yeah, I had the green she must have had a left on green light, and she didn't see me at all. Just turned in front of me. She didn't even try to slowdown or stop. Holy shit man I’m sorry. That must have been terrifying. Glad you are mostly intact. It all happened so fast. It went from "Oh shit,...

Might want to crank up a nice little PI settlement to add to the payoff on the Camaro.

Not me.

Thanks everyone. I'm sore, but I'm fine.

No, it took quite a bit of effort for me to get out of the car.

For those who haven't heard, a lady turned left in front of me on Friday. Fairly certain the Camaro is totaled, it's quite damaged.
I'm doing okay, left shoulder is fucked. I went to the doctor, and nothing is broken so that's good.

Been doing a lot of car shopping.

A lot of it is wage stagnation.

The power is fine, but the real magic of the GR86 is the lightweight and it's great chassis. It's a laser focused driving experience.

In my old age the feel of the inputs is what I care about most

Driving engagement is king.

Makes me think of that time you picked me up at the airport and ripped it in the M3 and the shift knob flew into the back seat :lolol: That car was rough but, by the time I sold it all the major issues were fixed. The current owner has driven it to Colorado and back and regularly takes trips to Hou...
