Well, after some time fumbling around with different ideas, I might have come up with a heck of a formula for this...who's down for an Automation-based Goon GT series? Re-posting this for MrChips.

Far as I can tell, theres nothing poser about the tag for people on the fence. When I suggested it, I thought more of how as stated this is pretty much the most flawless Automotive Insanity: the Movie that also happens to be Mad Max, and the guy who whipped up the design everyone loved picked the Black Thumbs because as the AI Mad Max low life ne'erdowells it made more sense to use their term for turning wrenches. I'm pretty sure grab it while its hot, pile on the war rig, and lets go loving huff some paint already jesus christ

So uhm, i was on my first proper inspection in my new business. 8 story hotel that is getting built. And i am scared off the sheer incompetance some builders have. When i read the spec sheets i was optimistic, they had gone for very good fire cell isolation with fireproof doors, ventilation and a high enough grade of fireproof insulation that this building should be very well protected from fire spreading between rooms and they had a good plan for smoke ventilation meaning that evacuation should be fairly safe in case of a fire. However. On every floor they had 4 linen rooms and a tech room where the electric panels, wifi and tv stuff was placed. In these five rooms with flammable content they had loving cut a 60cm x 60cm hole in the fire insulated wall leading to an cable shaft that went from the garage in the basement to the top floor. They also had conduit channels leading from these utility rooms completly without any way of stopping heat, firegases or smoke from seeping into the standard hotel rooms. because i am so pissed i figured i would be kind enough to write up to quick scenarios to show how this is a bad idea. #1 A car catches fire in the basement garage next to the paper and cardboard containers placed directly below the cable shaft, the fire spreads to the dry cardboard and hot flammable gases is released up to the grated of cable shaft. This gas is led into the linen cabinets on floors 1-8. When the smoke seeps into neighbouring rooms the fire alarm goes of in these floors aswell. The cabinets on the lower floors have started smoldering due to the heat and debris comming up the shaft. A well meaning maid opens one of the linen cabinets on the second floors in search of an extinguisher and causes a influx of oxygen to the smoldering fire. You know have a channeled structural fire over several floors. #2 Everytime an electrical component in the tech rooms fails or lets out a small puff of air this will spread to neighbouring rooms, setting of the fire alarm. This wears on the staff of the hotel, who gets a habit of cancelling the response from the fire department without further investigation. When scenario #1 happens (ore one of the many others like it) help will be delayed by minutes in a fight that is all about the seconds in the initial response Bonus fact: No smoke detectors in the linen or tech rooms... Opening day in six weeks? not gonna happen dude

I don't think any game that doesn't end in "Boat Simulator" is going to accurately simulate your car. I think I could parallel park my Miata inside your rolling Versailles if you opened the passenger door.

Tommychu posted:Counterpoint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSXKCG53zaA I slam my hand into the main shifter, grabbing onto a blinking 8-ball and shoving the transmission into third. My fingers roll off the knob in a spiderlike bundle onto the range selector, flicking the polycarbonate skull’s eyes from red to blue as the gearbox bangs into single underdrive. I resume my brutal assault on the Detroit’s internals without so much as breathing on the clutch pedal, inwardly pleased that I can drive this twin-stick diesel beast like an old school long-haul trucker. The Corvette and I go back not so long compared to my other cars; the battered ‘70 showed up as part of a multi-car auction that I inexplicably won after my ridiculous drunken lowball bid. All the other cars departed long ago, but the Corvette somehow stayed and mutated, like stubborn homeowners refusing to abandon the equity in their Chernobyl fixer-upper. Over the years the fence-quality candy apple custom paintjob melted off the front of the car. For awhile the car was used as a test surface for spray paints of various techniques and materials, but it appears to have finally settled on a combination of wind-blasted rattle can black and sunburnt body damage for its mating plumage. Beneath the capacious yet still crudely Sawzalled fiberglass hood, an angry Detroit Diesel 4-53 two stroke pounds away at its motor mounts and flywheel like they owe it money. Keeping an engine like this on the boil is no easy task, between its nega-Honda redline and ear-bleeding volume at virtually every RPM other than idle. That’s where the twin stick comes in. The original manufacturer of this Corvette would be aghast to see what has become of what they laughably called frame rails. In order to fit the elephantine transmission, there was no shortage of hammer and dolly - mostly hammer - work involved. My reverie about the cleverness of the build comes to a short end as I stop for a stoplight, being able to hear the stereo for the first time in about an hour. A 1979 VW Rabbit cabriolet pulls up next to me. The owner grins, revs the engine and emits a compelling turbo shriek and dark clouds of rich exhaust from a hidden side exit vacuum cutout. I raise my eyebrow, now finally intrigued.

1500quidporsche posted:Remind me to read up on your tumblr SSS. I could see it all from my perch at the restaurant, trying to engage in conversation with my lovely companion while also keeping an eye on the unfolding anthropological experiment. The Trans Am Turbo wasn’t my usual date-night vehicle, but then this wasn’t your usual date night. The oldest and most experienced of the valets stepped forward through the quivering wall of terrified newbies, shoving the smallest of them aside, considering him with a half-sneered contempt as he confidently reached out and grabbed the polished stainless-steel button that would release the compressed-air central locking system. On cue, the beast burst forth with 30psi of built-up pressure, causing the nearest of the junior valets to involuntarily void his bowels. This was going to be no ordinary drive to the storage lot, but the gravity of the story he had just written himself into had managed to escape him up until this point. Presumably he had been getting baked with the short-order chef in the alley, hadn’t seen, heard or felt the brutish Pontiac arrive and so was happy in his hubris to discard the advice that his amygdalae were screaming at him, drowned out by the need to be stronger - a more suitable mate - than the herd. His memory of his frumpy wife, a long-distant bar room conquest, kissing him goodbye in the morning had began to fade as surely as the interior carpet of the Trans Am. He stepped over the WRC door bars, grabbed ahold of the engine start switch and engaged it, and then he truly knew fear. I chuckled in half-empathy, remembering my first time with the Turbo. I wasn’t worried for its health. I learned early on that any door dings, scrapes or frame bendings that it had picked up during the course of its adventures would heal gradually with the sickening crush of popping metal after long enough parked in the garage. It was as if the crude F-body refused to accept an interpretation of reality in which it was not on the streets, not running. I would find that cars parked next to it would develop spontaneous battery drains, with the Trans Am sitting appealingly next to their dead shells, its pearl chocolate paint glowing softly in the vaseline-soaked dream that my garage fluorescents promoted. The Pontiac engaged the central locking without his request, and he could see the hood-mounted boost gauge gently throbbing, its retrofit OLEDs burning a hole through his optical nerve directly into the parietal lobe. Before the Turbo, he was a normal man, with hopes, dreams and fears. After the Turbo, he was a passenger. I returned to the conversation with my dinner date, trying not to jump in on her sentences about her day job with interjections about carburetors or LD28 cranks. She would never understand the Trans Am, especially after she saw what it had done later that night.

Ugh, dilemma. My father's boss has offered me an interview for a Development Operations position at their company for doing roll outs of systems, which is right up my alley and what I did before school. It comes with a major pay jump. But at my current job, which is just Sys Admin, I have a lot of free reign and freedom to make the calls I need to make to get poo poo done, not to mention flexible hours.

Well goons, looking at what they're doing to our hours at the shop, it's looking like I'm gonna have to fire sale everything to keep a roof over our heads  I'm thinking of selling the miata, hopefully getting around $11K and picking up a protege. I've had two of them already and they were good cars. I just need something to get to work that's reasonably reliable. I'd be taking my life in my hands every day if I rode to work thanks to Houston's horrible cycling infrastructure.this is what I had in mind. I avoid the honda tax and hopefully get enough cash to keep things going for a few months. I talked with my parents and they said to *not* cash-out re-fi because most people lose their houses that way. I'd use the leftover money to hopefully eke out of one or two debts and get my monthly minimum expenses under what I make on 40 hours a week. Any thoughts on 2003 Proteges? Any goons interested in a Tourmaster flex 3 moto jacket in light grey, medium?

So, the Mustang. Turns out the family member that told us about it was wrong wrong wrong. Absolutely wrong. Pretty much every detail she told us was wrong. It's a full restoration. Every panel was either repaired or replaced. New floorpans, full engine rebuild (not upgraded though) and full repaint and spray. The top was factory ordered to match the body color, they have the documents from the dealer showing this. He bought it at an estate sale in 2011 or 2012 and began the restoration, just finished it early this year. I guess he got in a bit over his head and just wants as much back as he can get.
