Hard pass, genie. (But probably the Toyota 4x4 for best offer of $5) My longest drive is 17 hours, Cincy to Denver in 2009 or 2010. It was brutal but I didn't do it alone at least. Sorry, flyover states, but goddamn we just wanted to get that part of the journey over with. Rest of the 3 week road trip out west was fun. Ended my long weekend yesterday driving home another 9 hours and got in around 10:30pm. It was about 9.5 hours on the way up due to construction but smooth sailing coming home this time. I came to work today because I didn't have poo poo planned to do today anyway and figure I can sleep walk through a day of work rather than burn a vacation day being lazy. I'll burn the day later when I have something better to do and when I'm not sore as hell.

NitroSpazzz posted:Watched True Detective S1 a couple weekends ago, was really impressed. Skip S2 because it's utter horrible dog poo poo. S3 is pretty decent and similar in feel (but not quite as good) as S1. Adiabatic posted:I should clarify air-cooled 911s. Have you driven one? I was not fond of the tiny pedal box and odd interior layout of switches, etc. I couldn't even heel/toe it but drat if it didn't sound and look amazing.

Tremek posted:The MB forums also suggest that brake-torquing it like it has a converter around ~2400 rpms may yield even better results, but ow my balls if it lunches the clutch. HBD. If it's a wet clutch they're made to be slipped. That said, that's a whole lotta power so probably not ideal. Neat car.

Thanks for the rec for hand stuff a few pages back, I'll try it as well. My hands have been splitting like crazy lately and I can't figure out why (more so than usual with winter, and it's still doing it now even). Tried replacing soaps and washing hands less, lotion, etc. Always happens at the corner of my nail near my fingertips and hurts like a mofo because it wants to open more when using my hands. I've started super gluing the skin back together when it happens now.  meatpimp posted:On the flip side of that, be careful. Make sure you are a "cool guy, " and not "cool dad" unless you're ready to do that, full-on, forever. Some kids bond quickly and they don't understand your relationship with their mom... hell, you may not either. That puts all of you in a hazardous position. If you're committing to be there, right on. If you're there to bang mom for a bit and see what happens, that's cool too, but make sure the kids know it's either "fun" or "forever." There's no other way with kids. I think the kids will be fine one way or another if the dude suddenly leaves the picture (just like it was before he was there). Granted I don't really know how old they are and what they comprehend at this point. Can't really set them down and say "I'm just here to see what happens/get my dick wet, PS don't tell your mom."  This assumes that you won't really see the person and kids after it's over, otherwise yeah could be a little weird.

I still need to get a will set up. But it will read something along the lines of "just burn me up and do whatever with me afterward." Better than taking up space in the ground on this dying, gay Earth.

Rhyno posted:I have everything I could ever want but I sort of feel like I don't deserve it or that it might all fall apart tomorrow. Nothing wrong with having nice things as long as you're living within your means and have a bit of a safety net. I'm also looking towards another vehicle but don't want to spend too much either. In reality, I really only need something a little bigger than my current car to fit 2 rear facing car seats (they don't fit in hatchbacks like my GTI unless you're 5' tall  ). But then I think it would be nice for some creature comforts, room for my bike, etc and price starts ratcheting up. I dunno wtf to do but this kid is coming one way or another so I need to do something soon.Edit: just saw you aren't out of debt yet. I would definitely wait until you're above water for at least a few months and can build up a savings safety net. Even then, I don't like to finance cars anymore so I'd get something cheap and fun. I know this isn't BFC but  .

Applebees Appetizer posted:Fair enough, but honestly I wouldn't put it past the government or CIA or whatever being capable of completely erasing someone's past. Come up with any lovely thing the government has done to someone to gently caress with somebody's life and it probably wouldn't be too far from the truth. You're going pretty deep into  territory.

MrChips posted:Does the US government lie to you about things? Yeah sure they do, all the loving time, but don't conflate a lack of information about what's going on there as being evidence of some vast conspiracy. Exactly. And it sure as poo poo wouldn't be anything from the Joe Rogan podcast that would convince me otherwise.

chaibat posted:Hey LAgoons, my daughter has a neurosurgery consult at children’s hospital LA this week and I’m looking for a decent hotel near Vermont and Fountain. I found hotel covell which seems close and decent, but I thought I’d check in with the thread to see if you have a different recommendation. She’s still not even 3 (turns 3 on the 4th of July) so I’m really hoping they don’t say she needs brain surgery right away. Very stressed as you can imagine, hoping to have a fun little distracting trip in Los Feliz, so if there’s any car meetups happening or fun kids stuff, please let me know, if you feel like it. Thanks. Can't comment on recommendations but best of luck with everything.

angryrobots posted:I'm 34 and would not reply to this, you sound insane  Also lol at being 35 and trashing millennials. You're one of them, dummy. If people lowball me before even seeing the car they can get hosed. If you're serious, set up a time to see it. Sure you can ask if I'm negotiable on price beforehand but don't throw out bullshit offers before you really know what you're getting. You're already wasting time doing that bullshit, IMO.

Grakkus posted:If I'm driving 3 hours or more to see a car, I'm sure as poo poo going to discuss price before I set out, though I don't expect to hammer out a final number or anything until I've seen it. I don't think what you and I are saying are really that different. Tomarse posted:Unless it is a sub £500 throwaway/beater car, I also feel that anybody who contacts me with an exact offer without having seen it is a bit of a dick - where do they then go if they come look at it and find something actually wrong with it? Just ask me first if i'll negotiate - then if you want to low-ball me then either do it with some legitimate reasons behind it or to my face while waving the cash at me.
