An aerodeck is a dream but they kind of don’t make sense? Like my entire yard full of JDM vehicles. The aero accord (which I haven’t seen one in quite a while at auction) is still just an accord, which I’m a fan of. I have a Daihatsu Mira selling today that will probably be way under $10k which is a shame  Honda Today/ Toyota Starlet / Nissan Pulsar (not the GTI obviously) and many others can be had super reasonably. Heck I’m excited about a 24k mile manual 4 door Suzuki Alto (hatch) that’s coming this week. The old more fun to drive a small/underpowered car fast than a fast car slow. I love the little hatches.

Rhyno posted:Also I just want to see this fuckin NOBODY flick but it won't be streaming for a month and there's no way I'm ever going back to a dirty rear end theater. The couple of times I've gone to the theater during this bullshit, they've been really good with handling it. One was Alamo Drafthouse, who are pretty fastidious and quality to start with. We ended up being 2 out of 6 people in the theater to see Bill and Ted. The other was a Cinemark with the power recliners and reserved seating, which makes it easy to make sure they are clean (leatherette) and space everyone out. That said, I literally have only gone out to see a movie twice in the last year, for reasons that should be obvious. Vaccinated now, so will be going out to see Lizard v Monkey, because it (should) deserve a big screen/big sound. I'd like to see Nobody myself.

I've got unlimited data for $75 a month and I've been really happy with it. Hotspot can't replace landline speed so you can't watch video on a TV but I just watch everything on my phone hooked up to my hi-fi with Bluetooth and it sounds amazing. If their landline is as good as mobile you will be happy with it. I get data warnings near the end of the month all the time but it has never been throttled.

Some of us really like jizz.  So I put in a refill for my beta blocker... nearly a week ago. I ran out Saturday. I'm shaking like I have Parkinson's right now. Doctor's office finally called. Then hung up when I picked up. Spent nearly 2 loving hours on hold trying to call back. "Oh, your doctor wants to see you". Can he at least give me a few days worth to tide me over? "lol no" First available appointment is on Thursday. Fucker approved my klonopin a few days ago, why is he refusing a beta blocker? My blood pressure is going to be sky loving high, and I already look like Michael J Fox at this point. I got sent home from work early because I was shaking so bad, and they want a doctor's note showing I'm back on beta blockers, and a FULL loving physical, before I can use even a hand-powered pallet jack.

Holy poo poo they’re running Cup cars on dirt at Bristol. Getting my Crown Vic inspected so I can get the registration renewed by the end of the month, and they e got it up on the TVs on the waiting room. There’s also a very clean, mostly stock ‘72 Cutlass Supreme in getting an oil change or something, and it sounded very good. I miss driving my ‘70 coupe. Edit: they’re pitching the rear end out and everything. This is way more interesting than a standard NASCAR race. It’s slower, but they’ve got to manhandle the cars more. Some overheating just a few laps in. Dirt in the radiators? Not enough airflow from the lower speeds? Darchangel fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Mar 29, 2021 |

Dirt in the radiators. This is turning into a cluster gently caress, the race was supposed to be Saturday but rain messed it all up big time. Shoulda just used a dirt track instead of putting dirt on a paved track

Hooooly poo poo. I went down to my MIL’s to jump, go replace the battery on, and borrow my late FIL’s truck for the week. She has been planning to trade it in along with her other car, and I just casually mentioned to her that it would be a shame to let it go. Later that afternoon as I was driving around doing errands, I called my wife and made my case for buying it off of her mom. Well, today they all went to the zoo (all vaccinated, hell yeah) with the kids and talked about it. As it turns out, my MIL is happy to just give it to us, so now I have a free truck. 2010 Ranger XLT, 151k with a good chunk of them highway, and it is in absolutely mint condition with a bed cover.  Here it is next to my boss’ F350 a couple of years ago.

I officially submitted for vacation today. First time ever “officially” since we were acquired by J&J years ago. Two weeks in summer, planning a road trip with my older son. I put the bug in my boss’s ear this morning and he just said “make sure it’s official”. I have four weeks per year and I’ve never taken more than one even before the corporate change, but I plan on using it all this year. Feels fuckin’ great to even try.

That sounds like a really cool way to spend your first real vacation in a while, I bet your son will love it. I think when all of my terrible life stuff comes to an end and I start to feel some sense of closure I’m gonna dump all the critters off at my parents and ask my friend and his girlfriend if they want to go camping (real camping!) somewhere for like a week or some poo poo.

My Dad and I went out west for two weeks before I went off to grad school, and it was great. We did national parks and camping, and it was amazing. I still love the photos I took on that trip - Nikon and slide film, though that's a bit passe now.

This is an anniversary tribute but probably with a slightly different itinerary so we can hit Tail of the Dragon and then head west on I-40. We also want to see some of the same parks as last time with some ones I missed in ‘01. Last time we went straight west on I-80 until Colorado and then wandered around. We also went all the way to California and up the west coast, but i think Utah Woll be the limit this time. I requested 16 days off work so hopefully that’s enough.

Because of Corona I actually haven't had the chance to take my new Corolla on a road trip. Ever since I bought it the thing has only seen city driving. Driving down to Austin in a few months should be a good time though. Pretty crazy that the cruise control pretty much does everything for you.

You gonna drive straight through, or do it over a couple of days? That's a pretty decent drive (~950 miles from ATL to AUS), though you can shave about 30 miles off by going through DFW (doesn't save any time tho.. I-30 can eat a bag of dicks). 64bit_Dophins posted:That's my favorite generation of Honda Accord so if it drives like that then I'm pretty much sold. 3geez for life. Owned an 88 LXi sedan, and an 88 DX coupe. Loved both of them, even though the DX was a basketcase. The LXi loving scooted for what it was. And the parts that are hard to find are mainly cosmetic - particularly the bushings for the popup headlights. Also headlight motors. Mechanical stuff is still somewhat stocked by parts stores (I would think the throttle and clutch cables will be kinda hard to find by now tho). Even the junkyards in Austin don't have any of them anymore, but Honda Heaven is only a few hours away (Arlington, south of Ft Worth).

CONTEXT we were having a stupid discussion in the break room about how a town north of here is having a fuckin Klan meeting. So this shithead I've never much liked just referred to the KKK as "the movement." That's a red flag. I just have to figure out if being a white supremacist is reportable to HR

It's a 14 hour drive more or less according to google maps which is exactly the same distance my drive from Atlanta to Binghamton NY was when I was in college. I used to drive back and and forth via i85/i81 and I'd stop for the night in Roanoke VA as a kind of midpoint. I don't really know where I would feel comfortable stopping on the way to Texas though. Mississippi and North Louisiana suck... lol Rhyno posted:CONTEXT I would imagine after trump there are more of these kinds of people but being related to some of them I have to say (and this probably changed again because of the alt-right stuff in recent years) but I remember as a kid I figured it was just a handful of sad old redneck men that really just needed to take their BP meds and get a hobby. Kind of weird that it's even a thing. I remember hearing that there was a klan presence in upstate NY when I was living up there? I heard that and I remember thinking like bro just move to Kentucky what are you doing?
