Considering a not insignificant part of the Phoenix economy is based on "this poo poo doesn't happen", yeah. US60 was partly flooded out tonight. I ended up driving through the floodwaters at one point because a) Jeep and b) I forgot my post-root-canal meds at work and didn't realize it until I was already practically at my daughter's school 30 minutes away

My wife made fun of me for having a neckbeard. I have achieved true goon status.  I just don't like shaving for a week or two at a time and have hair that grows all the way down to my chest, ok? That's just loving manly.

I still like growing a beard (sans neck hair) occasionally. It gets cold here in the winter and I need a face jacket sometimes.

That must have been a hell of a rainstorm Parts of town got nearly two inches in a timeframe of somewhere under an hour - possibly under a half hour. Rainstorms here tend to dump quick and leave, but they rarely dump rain like this. This is now three years out of four (2014, 2016, 2017) that have had "one in 100+ year" storms.

Returned a hire car (soft roader) today, and the guy complained that the inside was messy. I've had it for three weeks, 3000 miles, and I work outdoors. Not sure what you expected mate. It's not like it was covered in mud, just needed a good hoover and quick wipe. Good thing he didn't know it had been through puddles deep enough that the bow wave came over the bonnet.

On the way to lunch, I saw a bricknose f150 nose down in a ditch, frame on the ground. Old rear end conversion van chained to the rear bumper trying to snatch him out. Came back after lunch, they had quit with the van and gotten a retired, DOT yellow 2500 suburban. I stopped and watched it spin tires. My work truck is a Dodge 5500 utility bucket truck. I offered to help, and after turning down their suggestions of using my winch (my truck has no winch), using my boom to lift the truck out (LOL seriously), and pulling from the side as they suggested one time (probably would have at least blown the rear tires if I really tried), and being told to put it in 4wd (my truck is not)....I set up like I wanted to at the start, and snatched him right out after breaking their crappy chain twice. Many cheers were had, and "I'll never say anything bad about your power company again", etc.

Same worldwide. But the second two numbers being the displacement has been fudged since the e21 '70s at least so it's pretty hard to get worked up about.

But I also really dig the aggressive new Toyota faces and the new Civic hatch in white is the bee's knees so you may want to take my views with a grain of salt (since internet car dudes seem to hate this stuff)

Somewhat Heroic posted:Having a safety recall done on my M3. They put me into a loaner 2017 430 gran coupe. Not a terrible looking car. It has the new little turbo 4 pot and 8 speed auto. I'm most impressed with the transmission. Granted I have like 12 miles of experience but it's not awful. The leather and interior is not nearly as refined or nice to touch as the M. Novillo leather is just so soft to touch. It has the Harmon Kardon stereo that is pretty good. Nothing happens power wise below ~2300 RPM. BMW scrubby non-Novillo interiors after the E90's are cheap garbage and seriously put me off (as if going from a NA V8 to a turbo'd 6 with a stereo noise enhancer wasn't enough).... I actually lol'd when I touched the 'leather' in my buddy's F80 M3 compared to what is in my car, it feels like the vinyl in my dad's 1976 Volvo 240. Congrats on your new airbag, I too finally got that letter after 2 years of constantly calling BMW NA. To whoever commented on the free 11 cents worth of tire use, good luck getting any sort of burnoff in that car's 100k mile treadlife tires compared to what SH's used to in his his own. You can't even probably turn the TC off completely in that salesrepmobile. Gran Coupe is french for "We'll sell you $4500 worth of carbon fibre door sills and "M' badges.". I also broke my own uber record of $98 by taking a $117 uber from Milwaukee to Madison at 3am after United Airlines hosed everything up they possibly could and kept me traveling for 22 hours to get the (not) astonishing distance from LAX to My favorite part of the day's United Airlines (@united) is A Load of Assbozos fuckups was watching when they let two people with invalid boarding passes for a future date onto an airplane bound from Denver-SFO, and bumped two ticketed and checked in passengers who were late to the gate to accommodate the random unticketed idiots (the paid and ticketed passengers were late to the gate because United hosed up their flight too.) Yay security. theatre. Glad TSA makes me take my sunglasses off at the check in booth but can't read the date on a boarding pass. At least they removed the unticketed passengers after they were on the plane with the chance to leave explosives/knives/whatever on for half an hour. I wish I'd recorded it, twitter and worldstar love that kind of thing. I know for a fact I could have flown to Paris and driven to the 'Ring in gently caress United forever. I gave my boy Shady another $40 in cash for his effort. If they ever invent Uber Air, I am all over buying shares.

I just want to vent that my brother in law is a grown rear end man who owns his own house, but is sleeping at his mother's house (with his daughter) because his live in girlfriend totally isn't doing drugs and is totally sane and it's the first of the month and she has her period and her PMDD and it just makes her unbearable for a couple of days. But, even though she called angry and upset that her phone was broken and she needed a new one the day after he bought his and it just turned out to be a hair on the screen and not a crack at all, she's not on drugs and she's not crazy. Oh, and he's just going to marry her to shut her up and then divorce her when the daughter is 18. Yeah, okay. Oh, and all women are crazy amirite? Ugh. I think he's scared to leave her because he's probably hit her or some poo poo, but whatever. You can't tell him any different; he'll tell us how lovely she is, then when we tell him that he needs to leave her and she's crazy and so on and so forth, he goes and tells HER all that and says that he loves her but his family hates her or some poo poo. On the upside, I guess, if he plans to marry then divorce when the daughter is 18, he's only got to do this whole "stay somewhere else" bullshit about 670-ish more times. Needed to vent that for a bit. Going to help change plugs and wires on a OBS F150 tomorrow in exchange for future help on doing them in my 06 F150 (V6, so I don't have to worry about two piece sparkplugs).
