My goddamn bank card just got compromised for the third time in a little over a year. This time someone used it at a Canadian auto dealer for a hair over $400.

Almost had it five months :smithicide:

I want you to take a step back and gaze into the stark realities of a man who just discovered he was so far behind the times that figuring out MS Paint was an ordeal, and reconsider that question.

mmm this nitromethane gets my supercharger runnin'
Starting May fresh I feel like I should confess to feeling some major auto ADD lately.

I find myself googling terms like "997 ownership" and "e9x M3 ownership" and wondering if I can deal with the occasional annoyance/frustration of maintenance of a 5+ year old (and potentially expensive and temperamental) car like those because of the added joy both cars are well known to provide. Or I could just wait for the Focus RS.

I'm kind of thinking a nice personal goal with my next car would be to keep it AT LEAST 4 years (barring major circumstances like catastrophic failure, an accident or theft).

If you don't trust imgur to do it then download this resizer which lets you just right click on image files to resize them.

Age gets us all :( last night I had to print off a crib sheet for all the control keys/buttons for GTA as I can't remember them. Feels like something my dad would do. Then I got eaten by a mountain lion when I got my jeep stuck trying to off-road it.

So we had one on one meetings with the instructor today after the lecture.

He shows me a "progress sheet", and says "dude, you have no problem acing this poo poo. You're current on homework, your grades are great, and you obviously know your stuff".

Then he asks if I smoke. I say ".... not cigarettes". And he says "I know. I got a funny story for you. My buddy won a <hilarious amount of> weed in a poker game the other day and was bragging about it". I laughed and told him it would take me at least a year to smoke all of that, he laughed and said it would probably take him a month. He did say he won't smoke if he has to work the next day, otherwise he's useless... I told him I'm useless if I smoke daily as well, but I have absolutely no tolerance these days anyway - usually reserve it for after work only if I don't have any homework or classes.

Wonder how he knew I smoke :420:? :confused: I'm sure the tie die shirts I tend to wear, and the long hair, and the piercings, etc have absolutely nothing to do with that perception....

(god I hope he's not a goon, because I'm gonna get an rear end chewing next week if he is)

I skipped over Windows 3.x and went to OS/2, with a mighty 386SX/20 and 4MB of RAM.

I think the best PC I ever ran with OS/2 was an old PS/2 model 95 full tower server with several SCSI drives, 8 or 16MB of RAM, and a 486DX4/100. Handled my BBS really well.

I'm not the only pizza driver in the class.

The other driver is also gay, and always parks next to my car. I only noticed his car because it has the same HRC equality sticker that I have on my car, and glanced in the back and saw a Papa John's sign in the back seat.

BS'd with him, guy is downright crazy. Has dreams about gunning people down while working as an armored car driver. :stonk: I'm going to start parking on a different floor (maybe even the roof, where there's no elevator), he's been parking next to my car for almost 2 weeks now.

Also not every pizza guy smokes. Just 98% of them. :2bong:

Dang, I totally forgot about LFS, I'm going to have to re-install that. Have been putting in a decent amount of time in iRacing and finally got my rear end out of Rookie Class.

P.S., good luck to you and your crew at Brainerd this weekend! I'll be down at Autobahn Country Club for our first motorcycle race of the year with CCS. It's my first season as an Expert and now I have to run with the actual fast guys But I guess that means I'm officially a fast guy?
Thanks for the good luck wishes, looks like a small group this time with only 21 cars registered. I'm guessing it's going to be 18 of the fast teams, us and a couple new teams. We'll have a good time.

Autobahn is a fun little track, we ran there last spring and froze our asses off. I need to get my drat race bike on the track this year. Congrats on being one of the fast guys.
