So I bought a G37, should I go full douchebag and tint the back with 5% or slightly less douchy at 15%? Fronts will be 30% for state limit.

Lots of GTR badges, one in the grill, one on each fender, one on the trunk, one on the steering wheel and a huge GTR decal on the windshield.

What color?
Black needs a limo tint and full blackout of the lights.

I may burn for this but the G35c is still on my list of prettiest cars ever. G37c is right behind it.

I know I'm probably just getting old, but holy sheepshit, about 90 percent of the other sub-forums are just unbearable. I think I'm just going to resign myself to AI, GIP, the PYF cat / dog / cute stuff, and that's pretty much it. Maybe venture into SH/SC or IYG when I need some ubernerd to give me some advice on a computer or whatever.

Idk, compared to poo poo like reddit this place is fantastic. I post everywhere except FYAD and GiP (the first because it's mostly NSFW and also they tend to probate you if you post but you're not a regular and the second because I am the farthest thing from a soldier).

YOSPOS is the only forum I read and post in new threads (mostly because I learn so much about the ups and downs of different computer languages and how hardware works), GBS I post in the good threads like the country.jpg ones, CoC is nice for homework and I have yet to post a whole lot in non-chat thread AI since promising to lurk more however many years ago that was :v:

Idk, I am 23 so that probably helps a lot too, and I love how you can't unironically call people fags here or post stupid poo poo without some sort of repercussions (unlike reddit). I was reading some forum the other day and I couldn't believe how terrible and full of OBAMA!! :argh: and lol if u use apple ur gay it was.

It's rare to see a car in the desert with anything less than limo in the rear. All my cars are that way, and I have 30% in the front windows.

Well I done did it now. Bought a manual 2008 Scion xB in super white for $7700. The place offered me 2.9% Apr, 60 months, zero down, no prepayment penalty. I drive it home tomorrow. It's technically for the lady, but I've got a few more weeks of 3rd shift so I'll be driving it too.

Afterwards I hope between the 86 535i, 86 645csi, and my dad's 280z I'll be able to make it to work. Going to be switched to 1st shift for 2-3 months of training to run a 4 machine cell on 2nd shift.

Oh well, 2nd > 3rd IMHO

The solar eclipse was preempted by a thick, grey cloud cover. Still able to tell it's unusually dark for 11am though.

My car came with 15% all around, minus the windshield, and tinted taillights. I couldn't see poo poo reversing at night. I ripped the tint off my front windows and swapped the normal lights back on.

It was clear here. Lovely sunny morning. I dragged my sofa out (comfier than a patio chair) and sat on my patio drinking tea with a welding glass :). The grey cloud started coming in as it went on and it made for a really wierd light level where it looked like it was going to piss it down despite the sky being blue. Not like the twilight of the last eclipse we had.

Had a big stack of clarke replacement welding glasses that my insurance sent. opened them to find that clarke define 'dark' as shade #8 which are no loving use for anything. Found an old #11 which worked. Didnt want to break my auto mask trying to pull out the battery.

Sorry for the E/N stream of consciousness.

90% of being a good parent is showing the gently caress up. If you're there when they need you that's really all they need. I subscribe to the "long leash, yank it hard" philosophy of parenting. I let my daughter get away with tons of stuff except being rude or ignoring me. And if I threaten a punishment it's harsh and I follow through. We're like best buds still, although she's approaching 13 at mach 5. (actual 13th birthday is at the end of June). We've seen 2 concerts this month and have one more next week, and at each one I always get some drunk chick fawning over me to her boyfriend about how I'm a great dad and how her dad never did anything cool with her when she was little. It's like clockwork and cracks me up.

She shaved her legs for the first time yesterday. She was self conscious about her hairy legs and after she was like "yessssss! sooooo smoooooth" and just kept rubbing them. Ah, rites of passage.

Just for the future, you can get tempered glass screen protectors for cheap on eBay, I picked up a pack of 5 for 12 bucks, and in my experience they're likely to absorb most impacts and break before the screen does. They're also way easier to apply without any bubbles than the plastic sheet style ones are.

I am having a BALL
Got alot of test results back today, as expected (or hoped at least) all the tissue samples from the last surgery was clean and healthy. More suprisingly imaging showes that my remaining tumors are starting to shrink and encapsulate. If this progress keeps up i will offically be in remission. After i was done at the hospital i picked up my boys from kindergarden and took them to get ice cream. I then for some reason cried for ti minutes. It looks like i am beating this poo poo.

Now i am sitting at a tesla supercharger at a mountain village, charging whilst my wife and kids shop some food to eat, we are spending the weekend at a friends cabin skiing (or they are skiing) and relaxing in the outdoor hot tub. I think i am going to award my self some whiskey tonight.
