mafoose posted:You deliver pizza in an rx8? I know. If my jeep was running I'd use that. It wasn't exactly my intention but they're the only place I'd gotten a reply from in the last 10 months.  Fortunately the area is so spread out every run ends up being around 5 miles round trip, with a lot of that on the highway we're next to. And i have plenty of chances to redline it throughout the night. Plus I'm so busy the engine is never running cold. So hopefully the wear isn't too much worse than normal. The gas mileage though... Ugh.

I love how this online school orientation course has a whole video dedicated to teaching you how to get your username and password to log into the school's student center website... which you already had to know how to do to get to the course in the first place.

Mat_Drinks posted:Meat is right about interest rates, if that's all you're worried about you've got plenty of time. The house is fine - not my particular style but very few houses are. It needs about $20-25k of work (cabinet refinishes, floor refinish, additional lighting, new porch, bathroom remodel). It's a perfect place for a family - block from a state park (forest with trails), play ground 2 houses down the street (Dead end), best schools in the state. It's mostly the commute and distance from things I like to do that concern me - I wouldn't hesitate to buy the house if it was closer in.

My aunt just came back from Hawaii, and brought me a Hawaiian shirt. I'm a 6'0", 375 lbs lardass. I could use this shirt as a dress, or perhaps a small tent. e. Looked at the tag. 10XLT

The rotary was the science experiment that almost bankrupted the company twice. Yeah, it's neat, but it's a novelty and there is much more to lose than gain by chasing the rotary dragon.

mafoose posted:You kinda have to do that because they'll get loaded up with carbon on short trips. The gas compensation they give me is surprisingly accurate for what I'm using so that parts not horribad. By my math I'm doing around 14-16 MPG. But the only position available was driver and Ive made a living doing it before so I knew what I was getting in to. Its just super frustrating that everything is getting more expensive but I'm making less than I was 5 years ago. With the hour restrictions part time places have now doing cook work would necessitate another job, while delivering I can theoretically do one long enough to find something in my field and move on. And as much as I complain about it, I really do enjoy the hell out of driving the RX8. I even like its stupid engine. This job is just not anywhere close to what it was designed for.

So... apparently I bought a set of whitewalls. Bridgestone B420 ( ) for the foz beater. Whitewalls are going to be pretty pimpin  Couldn't really tell they were whitewalls from the sellers picture, and in person I didn't really notice it either.  Spent about an hour scrubbing away and now they're all shiny and magnificent  Pretty good deal at $60 for the set. They're old, but the rubber isn't dryrotted and they have almost no wear on them. Pretty sure they were bought NOS and then put on for part of a season then stored in his shed for the last couple years.

Joined the catte crew yesterday. Coworker's mom had a mother and some kittens dropped off at her place and was trying to find homes for them. Going to have to get out my real camera but after a bunch of attempts I managed to get two non-action (blurry) shots. Ada Lovelace loafin:  Splunk actually sitting still for more than half a second:  Ada is about 1.5 years old and as far as they (and I) could tell is basically perfect. She's super chill and loving and does all the things you want a cat to do like use the litterbox, not destroy stuff, and manager her own food intake. Splunk is pretty loving as well and really playful and is also do well with the cat things. Didn't really want to get a cat yet but they're awesome and my coworker's mom has already covered all the vet bills for getting them fixed and their shots as well as supplying the necessities (food, litter, etc.) for the next ~6 months. Couldn't say no to that.

Date code was for 03, so drat old, no idea how they survived this far. They only have to last a few months before winter, getting proper winters for it, but in the mean time I needed the cheapest tires that'll pass a safety inspection. They don't check dates, only tread depth and if they're dry rotted which the (much newer) tires currently on it are.

So, uh, please don't kill yourself. I'll try not to, I hope. I've seen others driving on ticking time bombs that have pre-2000's date codes. Always makes me go wtf as to how they haven't blown out yet. The minimum I need them to last is for the drive to the shop for a safety and back. Thinking of going with the cheap favorite winter tire, firestone winterforce, at least 205/70R15 is a cheap size. E: also thinking rubber survives the cooler climate in the frozen north than the scorching hellscape of Nevada/Arizona.

At a light, this father was crossing with his 6/7 year-old son. The father was pointing at this cherry BMW 3.0 CS, saying, "I had one just like it, a 1974 3.0 CS... son? Look!" And the kid wasn't paying attention at all

CA crossover, but I've been shopping bikes lately after I sold mine and I rode a V4 Aprilia Tuono today. I am a generally risk-averse sensible person... I care deeply about things like Wise Purchases, Cost-of-Parts, Probability of Police Attention, etc. Then I rode this stupid bike under an overpass at 6000rpm in 1st and the sound nearly brought me to orgasm (that's a stock can, mine had an Akra). The drat thing will do like 90 in 1st and I was on side streets/test riding someone else's bike, but when I hit 2nd with gas it tried to get out from underneath me and I loved it. I didn't buy it yet because I'll  probablylosemylicense but I can't stop thinking about ithel;p
