I have a recurring nightmare where somebody enters me to be overhauled by Chip Foose. Then after two weeks of thinking my car was stolen the tell me that Chip Foose has my car. To this I reply "oh God why couldn't it have just been stolen" so they take me to the garage to show what they've done to my beloved car and they lift the door and he has given it the world's ugliest two tone paintjob and put it on some 20 inch Foose wheels that look terrible and they show me the billet specialties steering wheel with flames on it and my fresh new leather seats that all say "FOOSE" and to top it all off they pop the trunk to reveal the 300 pounds of audio equipment the managed to shove in there. As I'm holding back tears of pure anger the filming crew tells me they want me to thank this man for what he has done to which I have to reply that I'm not an actor and that they are not tears of joy. Then I person who signed me up comes out from behind a curtain and says "surprise!" and I proceed to beat the living hell out of him while screaming "look what they've done to my boy!" And thats where I usually wake up screaming. Then I have to check on all my cars to make sure they haven't been "overhauled" before I can fall back asleep.

Despite looking completely indifferent in several pictures, she's still been the greatest expensive free dog ever.

After 5 months of being unemployed, that hopefully has ended. Feels good, as I feel like I was about to go nutty.

They seemed incredibly tame for dock cats.

And Vette picture:

I had an outside interview that went well. Afterwards, since I was close enough to the beach, I decided to peak boom my morning and cruise the beach. I put about 100 miles on my car today out of 500 miles since moving here.

@notsomethingstructural Hopefully it's not something structural.

Get a turbo tattoo.

My first vehicle I've hit 100k miles in(that I own), delayed by Covid and unemployment. Happily it's getting 60 miles a day put on it now, and I hit the magic number. It's tried to fight me the past 500 miles, and a tow truck driver tried to end my run with it yesterday, but it made it.

Also, this still exists.

It certainly hasn't been great mind you, but I haven't lost anything unlike some people, so by that it's been okay. The only bad thing is that I've been unemployed for over three months, so I've been living on savings(Oh, and I probably have the Rona to finish off the year.) BUT that was because I had the chance to move a little bit closer to family(most of which I haven't seen yet, because well, ya know), so I resigned in September. Of course due to my luck, I would have been laid off the next week... Things are looking up though, I have a second interview coming soon that looks promising at a job that seems much more fulfilling than my last. Overall, I'm glad that I moved. Despite hating living in Florida, I actually enjoy living in Mississippi(only this very specific area of the Land of No Surprises). Due to all of this, my pics of this year are not plentiful. Hopefully 2021 is better, and maybe we can have another Southeastern Oppo Meet, or maybe at least a Gulf Coast one.

Manual 911 Carrera S.

The RS is an unreliable mess and genuinely isn't that enjoyable to drive. I've known of several people who ditched their FiST for an RS to ditch that for another FiST. It's the one car in it's class that makes the STi seem like the reliable choice, and that's a far more fun car.

The GT is an incredibly easy choice. The 2015-17 had a stronger MT82, and the Coyote is incredibly overbuilt. So overbuilt it would be absolutely moronic if Ford really ditches it next gen for the trash that is the weak sauce 7.3.

@future-next-gen-s2000-owner Bradley never has a good take.

@houstonrunner Well a 12V clatters, rattles, and needs like two wires to run. And it will also be able to achieve interstate speeds much more quickly. A few pump adjustments doubles the power output of an old 12V, more than ever has really been achieved from a 6.2, and more reliable at that.

Our gas down here comes from local refineries, the news has not let that part out.

@houstonrunner Duramax's are also incredibly overrated and what you buy your 17 year old for a first diesel, not use for work.

-used a Duramax for work, spent many hours on the side of the road.

Spend a bit more money and put in a 12V.

@way2blu Ah, but do you see how the passenger compartment flung itself out of the way by rolling the other way?

@akioohtori It's because Oppo has become the Grounded to the Ground corner. Over half the content before calling it out was fetishizing over boring ass crossovers. We began as a group that hated the idea of the beige Camry, but suddenly it became a support group for something far more dull. Sure, if you have kids a Miata isn't a practical car for it, but simping for a three row crossover when having one kid is pathetic. You don't need much car for one kid, my cousin made his FRS work for that.

Justifying a massive SUV for one kid is what we constantly ridiculed, now that's what the Facebook page was becoming all about.

@urambo-tauro That Fiesta windshield was pretty bad. It looks like they didn't prep the urethane or glass before an install, so the adhesive didn't bond. Or it's just a really thin bead. I've seen some factory beads that were far too small as well, so I guess it could be that too.

@mr-ontop Yep. The reply link up top apparently linked me to you.
