@boxer_4 I still haven't watched any Fast and Furious movies. Am I missing much?

Neat! I loved our 8th Gen Civic Si. Briefly considered an 8th Hybrid with a bad battery as a project, but decided I have enough shitboxes without transcending technological boundaries.

I've got a buddy on each team I went to college with

Oh wow! Then it's a win-win for you!

Reminds me of my first football game. I was a wee little kid and, subsequently, quite stupid. It was the Redskins vs the Patriots and I rooted Redskins because they were in DC and my dad worked there. Also knew nothing about the other team (again, stupid, and first being introduced to the sport).

Unsuprisingly, the Redskins lost (I don't think it was a blowout... maybe at the end). I experience my first case of sports heartbreak and even shed some tears... over the Redskins... still ashamed of that.

My mom, being the brilliant woman she is, says that for this game it was actually a win-win for me. The Patriots represented New England, a place I was born in (Boston) and lived in for 5 years (Connecticut).

And that's why I'm a Pats fan... while not much better than being a skins fan, I'm a Packer's fan first.

@shop-teacher That's awesome. Also, cream-cheese frosting is best frosting and I'm willing to fight anyone who disagrees.

I know, right!?!

@nickhasanexocet Hey that's the same brand as what they used in my outboard lower unit!

@autojunkie This is sweet dude! A true story, or just a tale of a guy giving it the beans?

@mm54 They'll be $3 dollars again an a few months.

@ranwhenparked Clearly a man of class...

That is one ugly-assed car.

@highlander

@nickhasanexocet She says print it off! Likes the idea of maple syrup.

@svend this Czechs out

Take an upvote. Damn fine pun.

@boxer_4 a quick google showed a few people putting these into gokarts but I think you should go full toploading convertible....

Fair point—good luck and hope it gets resolved soon.

@dr-zoidberg Holy crap... I just checked ours for Portland. This is Weather Underground, which is occasionally guilty of a little exaggeration, but in this case I hope it's a LOT of exaggeration.

yah, I trust NWS more than WU but they're nuts too!

@shop-teacher I'd call him and be up front that you don't want to buy it, but that you want to chat about it. He'll either be enthusiastic or tell you to push off.

I just don't see anything redeeming about this.

That was incredibly weird 'hearing' a race car at speed with only wind noise.

@nerd_racing said in Is it a Tesla or the Rozzers: Pikes Peak Edition:

I'd be interested in hearing it without the siren.

Nothing to hear 😉

@doodon2whls Never driven a SC version, but my experience with NA V6 and V8 versions of the MN12 tells me that I would enjoy this very much.

@pip-bip That was downright painful to watch
Obligatory Tommy Boy:

@fancy-toyota-family Join the club. The GTI is so good for me that it has prevented any replacements so far, although there have been several close calls. I do expect to replacing my 2016 in the next couple of years with something different, mostly because life is short, rather than because of any big issue with the GTI.

But, yeah, now is not the time to buy a car if it can be avoided at all.

@misterbuttercup said in Sorry / Not Sorry:

@functionoverfashion I remember seeing one of those drive around the town I grew up in, and it struck me then that it was such a long truck!

A friend has had a couple, same spec more or less. White, quad cab, long bed, manual. He's still got one, in fact. In much nicer shape, but with way more miles.

@kitt222 Audi/Porsche and BMW's latest twin turbo V8's use a hot-vee as well.
