So this local dumbass has been trying to set up a "street crew" as he calls it. A group for street racing and undermining the ability of the police to stop them. I think he's watched the FatF too many times. well anyways, he decided to call his little group the OUTLAWS. Now despite numerous warnings that the Outlaws Bike Club might take issue with his use of the name, he soldiered on, talked massive poo poo about them, called them a bunch of pussies and said "they don't own a copyright on the name." He just posted about how his car was stolen today and whomever did it "IS GUNNA FUCKIN PAY!" A few of us said it was probably the real Outlaws and he's lucky they didn't kick the poo poo out of them and his response was continued taunts and threats towards them. And then someone added an Outlaw to the group. He posted "It's on bitch" on the status and the entire post is now gone and the originator of this entertaining drama has now deactivated his Facebook. Stupid people are very entertaining.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I was added to a group called "260 Underground" because of my involvement with Cars & Coffee. It's 90% douchebag, posturing and talk of racing. I'd have jumped out but the hilarity has kept me in the group. Last year a guy did a hit & run and bragged about it in the group and people were actually praising him for having the sense to flee.

Got some beers and steak sandwiches with my little brother tonight (and got news that his profit sharing last year was really good, queue older brother being really proud), got home in time to kiss the 6 week old goodnight and tuck him in and now I'm drinking a fun seasonal hef and watching the start of the Malaysian Grand Prix. Sometimes life fires on all cylinders, I hope you're all well too

Cross posting from my thread. Got a postcard! All the way from the U. S. of A., more specifically the proud, beautiful, zero sales tax, weird gas pumpin' laws, state of Oregon:   Thanks, blk! I actually never made it to Portland, but if I do, the Japanese Garden just made the list. By the way, did you ever pair up the headset? I made a little easter egg for you, so do that and post a screenshot...

Sometimes stupid people are just too entertaining to not watch. I got added to the '865 Euro' group which is 90% stanced volkswagens and idiots. They're having a car show today and I'm tempted to go and watch the stupidity in person. There's a couple people that autocross in the group that I'm friends with but other than that I expect a lot of people doing stupid things in cars. On the other hand maybe I can sell the 928 off to one of the idiots. Tempted to see if I can find someone to trade a TDI swapped VW Caddy pickup for the 928.

I stay in a few of the offroad and offroad parts trading groups I've been added to for the same reasons. Rednecks threaten fights at the drop of a hat and watching it is amusing.

For the record, as a long-time hater of Vettel, I must say that I am quite happy with that race result. Would have been more interesting if Nasr didn't slice Raikkonen's tire.

Also a Vettel hater, that race gives me hope that this season won't be all boring garbage with two cars running away. If Kimi didn't get his tire cut we probably would have seen both Ferraris on podium. A season long battle between Mercedes and Ferrari would be wonderful. IndyCar's first race of the season is this afternoon, watch it.

I don't have a lot of F1 hope, I think Mercedes just got their poo poo mixed up today. I hope it's not a 1-team season again, though. IndyCar? Isn't that the series that has all the guys from the IndyCar series in the '90s running parade laps and crashing into each other?

I spent most of the weekend in London and I saw: So many Bentley GTs. One road in Chelsea I walked down there were 4 parked within 200m in varying levels of 'I have more cash than you' trim. Toyota Priuseseseseses out the arse. So loving many. Too many 'Minis'. A couple of super loving cool Mercedes 250s, the oooold ones. A Toyota Sera parked up near the Bentley GTs in 'megabucks road' which was odd. Several super cool original Fiat 500s including one with positive camber on the rear wheels which looked scary. and a dude driving around in a BMW 2002...

Going toe-to-toe with insurance company tomorrow, hopefully they will make things right. Backstory -- had an accident 9 hours from home 6 weeks ago, $12k damage. Had to use 'recommended' shop since insurance wouldn't tow the car back home for repairs. Picked car up last weekend, total lack of attention to detail in repairs was immediately apparent. Insurance advised me to bring vehicle home if it was safe to drive, make a punchlist (a full page of bullets), they would send an adjuster to my bodyshop of choice and make things right. Most issues on the list are small, but the paintwork is a mess (they had to repaint the entire car after the accident). It looks like they didn't properly detail the car prior to painting (lots of pine trees involved in the accident), then noticed the debris in the paint and tried to wetsand it out. Tons of orange peel, raised spots in paint, swirl marks.

My three favorite drivers are Kimi, Jenson, and Fernando. So pretty much Kimi is my only hope this year. All of the rookies this year have been pretty surprising so far, discounting Ericsson's dumb move in turn 1 today (yesterday?). Fo3 posted:I'm very very conflicted about cheering on either i) Vettel, ii) Ferrari. But I don't want the merc berks running away with the championship. Lotus can suck it since not paying their employees a couple of years ago, and also Maldonado is hilariously bad. I still get all excited over Williams though, because they're the only team with a cool livery, and they were totally okay with Massa and Bottas racing each other in the last two laps. Also, Bottas is another cool, emotionless Finn, so he's good in my book. T-Square fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Mar 29, 2015 |

I am already putting together ideas for a cycle car. I have been itching for something to just throw together. Took my brother and his wife out in the M5 to show them what makes the car special. Between him laughing and her giggling I think they enjoyed it. It may not be fast compared to modern cars but it is a blast to drive and builds speed as quickly as the 928 in a comfortable family car body. I forgot to get acceleration videos that someone asked for, will try to remember next time I take it out. Fired up the grill for the first time this season...forgot just how much better everything tastes off the grill. Made basic chicken for this week and forgot to pick up burgers or steak, won't make that mistake next weekend.

Just seeing the trophy trucks going around the road course on three wheels would be worth the drive down. It's a good time, worth coming down imo. The crowd was going nuts over the trucks because they were racing HARD and flying off the jumps. I've never heard a crowd react like that at a race before, and I've been to a shitload of races. Then at the end, Robby Gordon was doing stunts and poo poo. I love that guy.

Ran into some cats I used to hang out with all the time. They're both past 40 and still partying like we did 13 years ago. It was 3pm and they were just leaving a party. They're not bad guys or anything but I'm pretty happy to have left that phase of my life behind me.

I have a list of videos and other information that has helped me get started on TIG that I really wish someone else would have just handed to me at the beginning. I'll be happy to post what I've assembled. I also have a fairly distant friend who is a commercial TIG welder (doing stainless medical grade stuff) who I just spoke with today that is willing to help me out.........after he found out what I paid for my machine, offered me $200 on top of it in cash right now and I told him no loving way. It's getting warm, I have a load of scrap metal to drop off and I'm gonna make a deal with the yard to give me clean scrap to weld on that's just gonna get returned so I can get some more clean scrap.
