Racing buddy of mine finally posted up our last regional race of the year at Blackhawk Farms, where I (barely) took first. YouTube kind of boned the video, but I figure someone might find it entertaining for a couple of minutes. I'm the one he's chasing for the first couple of minutes and the last couple of minutes in the black/white leathers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqf2Abwbe1U

How much torque can a Ford smallblock 4-speed toploader take before it goes kaboom, any guesses? They seem to have a rep for being stout.

From off the top of my head, stock, probably somewhere in the realm of 400-500 ft/lbs. and when you're developing that, esp in the earlier 302 engines you're developing enough HP to split the stock block.

Oh God the stickers and the mix of it being a swap, plus his attitude plus his "I don't have mechanical expertise" and then adding a bunch of "tags"  I flagged that ad. gently caress that guy and the horse he rode in on.: colbert:

That's about 90% of the online dating game. Before I met my current gf I had used ok Cupid. A simple change of pictures (good ones) and my response rate almost tripled.

Super Aggro Crag posted:My favorite part about Tinder is getting 0 matches and watching (not literally) my roommates bang Tinder chicks every weekend. Seriouspost: dude online matchmaking is a goddamn shitshow, so do it for kicks if you want but don't take that poo poo seriously. I did online dating for awhile and got a bunch of (awful) dates, one friends-with-benefits (who was cool but had SO MUCH BAGGAGE) and that was about it. It got to the point where I figured something was basically wrong with me, and I let it get into my head a little bit. Finally I decided to laugh it off and give zero shits about anything and be single forever and die young etc etc. Not relying on MATHEMATICAL ONLINE COMPATIBILITY DATABASES caused me to actually pay attention to a girl I knew in the real world who was very attractive, but extremely indifferent to me. I had thought it was because I was a dumbass/something was wrong with me but *ding ding ding* it turns out she was being a girl and was actually crazy about me and trying to be cool. We went out once and went on a hike and suddenly we're 16 months along and everything is going awesomely. Her parents even love me for some goddamn reason I do not understand in the least. Also yes, get better pictures.

Dating in general is a poo poo show. Much more so when you get older.... pressures and social norms and stuff.

I've basically resigned myself to being single for the foreseeable future. Dating is hard when you don't like going to bars and have basically zero social life because all your friends moved away or keep weird hours. Also I pretty much hate everyone in my age bracket right now.

I literally met my wife on the playground when we were kids and only dated a few girls before I started dating her when we were 18, was with her for five years then married her, but my friends always say (and still say) they all were way out of my league. I just never gave a poo poo and flirted with them enough to draw their attention but remained distant enough that they were intrigued until something happened I guess idk. I feel bad for my brother because he's never dated anyone but he is so much more attractive than me, he's just kind of awkward and didn't test the waters in secondary school. Speaking of all this, funny story. I wink at everyone at work when I bring them whatever the customer wanted and they say thanks or whatever, and one really cute girl was like "Tim you have to stop winking at me" and I was like holy poo poo I'm not creeping you out or anything right and she was like "no it just really turns me on" and wow was that a huge boost to my ego

Make it a joyful surprise when you do the reveal and a disappointing sad thing when you demand they get the shift points right on what they are driving and critique them the entire gear change sequence of the drive.

I got stood up for a date on my birthday last month. Turned me off on the whole dating thing, and probably will for a while. It's probably for the best with school and everything but dammit that pissed me off. I say that now while I'm thinking about the new girl at my old workplace. Like an addict, I'll keep goin' back.
