9000 Placs Per Minute

[wap]

Everyone's got different priorities.

I'll do 1-2 AutoX events a year because I find it fun. Running a full schedule is too much of a time suck for me and too low on the time investment to reward scale.

I'd rather do other things with a full day.

Its worse than golf.

When you get to a higher level in karts, the results just show you who happened to get the best handling kart at the rental places - power is usually pretty close on the karts but they vary a lot in handling. They're also slow as hell. I spent too many years racing 40 hp 6-speed karts with proper sticky tires and front brakes on bigger, grippier tracks to be able to really enjoy running rental karts anymore. It'd be like Max driving a base Yaris on Nankangs.

Rental karts are fun if you're and texting while driving

Golf is a hard pass

Golf is a hard pass

People at work tell me it would be good for my career to play golf.

The thought of taking a half day or more to stand around on a lawn wearing polo shirts and khakis pounding back crispy cold miller lites and discussing the good 'ol days with the silver hair / beer gut club are

Golf seems like it would be fun if played with fun people. Like a better version of sitting at a bar.

Perhaps, but golf for work I'm sure is how Johnny describes it. Bleh.

I think that it could be better than most other "networking" events where you just sit/stand around and talk.

Its something you need to pick up as a young man.....in your teens. You have the time to fuck around and learn how to play well. Then you can take those skills into the work environment later. Its too late for me.

See earlier comment. Even if your coworkers are boring af, hitting a perfect drive etc., is not much different than hitting a corner perfectly at a track. A job well done. It would dillute any boredom of the business aspect considerably.

This whole forum hates old man shit unless it's a vintage car.

Yeah.. I went for a friend's 20th birthday or something in Primm... The three dudes I was with had golfed growing up and one was on our HS golf team. I'd never done anything beyond minigolf.. Hit a solid 90something on the front 9 and 80something on the back 9. They were mostly patient with me since they knew I'd be bad, but man that was not fun.

Although, we went back the next day and I brought my front 9 down to 70something then it randomly started hailing and we bailed on the back 9.

Playing with people well beyond your skill level sucks balls. Best advice I ever got was "low and slow" You'll hit far less shots as a hacker if you don't try to kill it but just ease it down the fairway.

Fixed.

We even hate vintage cars.

LOL. "Vintage" has expanded on here....I was talking muscle cars. Ain't nobody on DFD hating a '67 427 Corvette.

I guess I'm but I think golf would be more fun as a pretending to be Happy Gilmore than actually trying to be good at it.

Old cars are cool too, like a lot of old stuff - IF YOU ARE RICH. I'd rather retire than have cool stuff. If you can do both, good for you.

I'm only good for 9 holes of Happy Gilmore. Then I'm done or pissed that I suck, even though I suck because I have no practice.

[troyguitar]

9 holes would probably take me all day and 18 or so beers. Still sounds fun.

Older bikes are the best for their badassness to cost ratios. Even my $1200 Ninja was more fun than any car I've owned.

Hmm, it's half the miles but this is the closest thing I see to mine for sale right now:

Maybe $10k will actually be pretty reasonable, I'm at 43k miles but with a full year of warranty remaining.

No we hate those too. No warranty no care.

Oh. You’ve never been to Top Golf. That’s fucking fun I’d Top Golf any fucking day.

Old cars had more ground clearance and a higher seating position



So much practicality! Such commanding view of the road!

Fuck. It’s perfect.

Yeah I give golf a hard pass every time anyone ever invites me. Go have fun.

And fuck this having to whisper shit before someone swings their bat club thing. They need absolute quiet but a batter facing a 98 mph fastball doesn't?
