OT 11: Laying 11s

Passed a background check. Went over my head. And I havent taken once since talking with yall. My only saving grace may be the fact I have yet to meat anyone in person. If I attend one of the Deals Fap sessions I can say screw it to my TS Clearance. :[user not found]: has your boss's boss's boss's ...

OT 11: Laying 11s

Waking up that early is :gag: I'd work 11-7 if I could. Nothing ever happens before 7 anyway. I'd like either 10-7 or 6-3. Basically, fuck rush hour. I wouldn't mind a later shift, but I'd use the time in the morning to do shit. It's nice to have time off during business hours/not work the exact sa...

The NOLA High Steaks 500: Troy vs Teh Fax

What happened to this place being hot as fuck year round? Current forecast is high 60, low 45 on Saturday... If I weren't already committed, I'd :nope: out rather than freeze my ass off each morning.

Car Talk 2: The Quest for the Best Rubber

Because, in this theoretical world, I have no need for a third car. This would more likely replace the S2K than the R32 and I'm committed to keeping a convertible in the stable. Just keep the S2k. :dat: They're depreciation-proof at this point, no reason to sell one unless you don't like driving it...

Yeah, the Ziltar spec Koopa S with LSD and IRS is about as good as it gets in a stock-ish FWD car. Get a MINI, breh. Eh, having the best FWD car is like winning the special olympics. You should try the Spyder sometime, it's :fuckyeah: for a <$10k car and that's keeping the setup ES-legal for autox....

Car Talk 2: The Quest for the Best Rubber

The Fiesta recarbros are great, I just wish that they were 3" lower along with the beltline, dash, and hood. The Vibe has the same problem - even moving the seat lower only sort of helps because it then becomes hard to see over the van-height dash. :dat: If it were Mini-sized, it would be 5/7....

In other news, the Lotus Elise was just announced as (finally) being moved down a class in autox starting next year. The NA models will now be against the C5/C6 Z06's and the supercharged ones against the GT3/GT4 Porsche stuff and 4C. That stupid thing remains my favorite looking car ever made, and ...

Venue+food was about that, not including booze. We only looked at places with fully indoor options (for both ceremony and reception) because weather happens. This was on the lower end of the price range of places that we saw. :notbad: It looks MUCH more pricey than that. That was our conclusion... ...

Need to sit in one. The Abarth has a somewhat high seating position but that did not bother me at all. Abarth feels moar minivan-ish to me, but may not be that much different.

Is that’s pretty much the worlds widest stock Front tire ? That and the demon Basically 50% more patch 2015 Z28 also had 305s at all 4 corners.

Re: Car Talk 2: The Quest for the Best Rubber

I think I've decided to say screw spending any more money on the Vibe, gonna keep driving it as-is for awhile (through this winter at a minimum) and eventually sell it in favor of something that's got better ergonomics and doesn't already have 150k farts on it. Likely a Scion iA or FRS, maybe an RX...
