Caught a crash on my dashcam, first one since I got it nearly a year ago. I'm so excited! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB3JGo-GYPc In other news, the new Scout is sold, it's going to Wilmington, NC. Now I'm thinking about selling the 250C and using the money to buy another Scout, and a motorcycle, and a cheap RallyX car that I will eventually build to a stage rally car. I'm thinking Honda Civic Wagovan 4wd with B-series swap.

You are going to want something with good parts availability for body panels and suspension. The best bet is something that has multiple availablity for suspension choices and that you can source panels and body cuts for for future repairs. If you get some rare rusty snow flake, you'll have a lot harder time piecing your car back together. Also if you need spare part and don't have it, running a common car will give you more options at service with other teams. I have given out so much poo poo. Good cars are ford focus, subaru impreza, vws although they are older. The impreza is really the only car you can run literally any class and driveline config in. Plus they run from 93-07 for most common bolt in poo poo. 93-01 is a good year range for gen 1 cars and 02-07 gives you crashed wrx's to pull body and suspension from which kids are wrecking all the time. Plus outback and legacy poo poo can be used as parts too. You really can't go wrong with an impreza. Logically it is the best chassis. If you are cheap you can build your car and do an event for 8-10k. Definitely IM/PM/mail me if you have specific build questions.

Probably wouldn't have mattered. If you swerve it's most likely going down as your fault.

Cage posted:I would've followed the idiot in the truck until you got his license plate, at least. I would have had I actually seen what happened. At the point I pulled over all I knew was that the Mercury lost control and had hit the guardrail. The truck was already back in it's original lane by the time I saw what was going on ahead of me. I was watching my driver's mirror and the lane to my immediate left for an opening, as the lane I was traveling in ends. It's a entrance ramp from another highway, yes that means the truck attempted to merge into an entrance ramp. trouser chili fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Dec 11, 2014 |

If it were a real functioning Scott injector, he'd be reaching around the back of the injector hat - the throttle blade runs front to rear on that thing. I've long thought that if I were to build a replica, I'd use EFI, and actually use the Scott as a throttle body, with a stupid long tube from it, through the supercharger, to the intake. Probably crap for throttle response, though.

I go to the free service on base for taxes. Follow everything to the letter. Submit. Get a small refund. TEN YEARS LATER: My bank balance is a couple thousand dollars lower than it should be. I can't make rent. WTF is going on? Call the bank; NC put a garnishment on your bank account, only information we have is this phone #. Call it; "Hello, NC Department of Revenue." Turns out they didn't have records (lost them) of Uncle loving Sam ever paying my taxes for that year. At all. So they took out the taxes, the small refund, and then added a bunch of interest on top of that. The only way for me to get my money back was to provide a hard copy of my W2 for that year to them, to "prove" my employer/me had paid my taxes. This is from an office staffed by one lady whose voice mailbox has been full for three years and who never picks up her phone.

When I did the math for my state taxes in 08, it came down to them owing me something like 12 dollars. I figured let them keep it, but i guess they figured wrong. I wanted to submit a coding project for a copyright so I could try to get people's attention about it this month, maybe make a sale if I got real lucky. Goddammit why couldn't they wait? Right before christmas, too. I'm going to go spend my last 20 on alcohol. gently caress it. it's all a waste anyway.

So I bought an and expensive, locally made shaving soap that not only made for the most uncomfortable shave I've ever had (my face is still burning almost eight hours later) but it left me smelling like I bathed in Pine-Sol too. fuck_2014.gif

Electric shavers rule, although I have minimal facial hair to deal with thank god. I can't imagine having to deal with a neck beard.

iwentdoodie posted:Electric gives me horrid skin. Like I stay broken out. Yep, same here. So I basically shave for important occasions, but otherwise stick with either a full (trimmed) beard or knock it down with a trimmer weekly. Apparently that's fashionable now, I thought I was just being lazy. It grows like a god drat weed, I ended up with like a 3 inch beard last winter and it only took about a month and a half.

I'm also lazy and work in a job that appearances do not matter. That's how I am with any other razor. This poo poo is magic. Plus I like the ritual of it. Since I'm in the navy, shaving is a must so it's a pain in the rear end. But something about the ritual of actual soap, a brush and the sharp rear end blades makes it something I look forward to and enjoy. But I much prefer having a beard.

The only time I shave is when I get slag damage-I tend to have to use the torch in positions that make this profoundly tough to avoid- though I've made it a year on this one and it's doing pretty drat well.

I had a cheap rear end $50 braun about five years and it worked great until the blades went bad and it cost more for replacement blades than a new shaver. Got a new Panasonic cheap on amazon and it's awesome.

I shave with a straight razor these days, or if I'm really in a hurry I will break out the safety razor. And unlike literally every other straight razor user on Earth I will end it at that and spare you all the pontificating because I find those people to be insufferable.

I didn't have to learn how to shave until I was 23. I still only shave about once every three weeks and that's mostly because what I can grow becomes very itchy.
