I had the same thought process. "Well, it's a Ford, and using the Ecoboost V6, so it will be 200k tops. Oh, it will be double that? gently caress off."

Hasn't the market on the Ford GT gone the same direction as the air cooled 911, straight into crazy town?

Also found Tuborg at a reasonable price for the first time in like a decade, really missed this beer. Tasty stuff I've definitely mentioned them in here a time or two, as they are my favorite band. Which album did you listen to first?

Well, ford sold the last GT for $155k, and now they are selling for $500k. They're not gonna make that same mistake again. http://www.dupontregistry.com/autos/results/ford/gt/all/refine?pagenum=1&perpage=30&sort=price_desc&zipcode=60606&inv=false

Decided I need a circuit breaker from work before I murder someone so I've taken Friday and Monday off and I'm spending 4 days off camping with a bunch of mates up the flinders ranges. Tad more upmarket than the usual swag tho, parents own a Kimberley Kamper, so I'm pinching that for the weekend.  Seriously looking forward to it, off early tomorrow morning.

Tommychu posted:Now that you mention it I do recall. That's probably why they stood out when I was looking for other bands on Fat Wreck. Started with Failed States because while 'the new one' is rarely the best starting point with a band, it's readily available- the more I get into punk the more I realize that because I was so late to the party there are albums I'm just never going to find, doubly so because I don't torrent or own a turntable. Aww man, you're in for a treat. A lot of Propaghandi's poo poo is out on youtube if you wanna stream it. I'll check our local punk music store for copies of their CDs cuz none of them are bad. Failed States is their latest, but the album before that was Supporting Caste. That's when they dipped whole hog into thrash metal/punk and turned my head a bunch. Before that they had done more skate punk stuff which is still great; How to Clean Everything was my post-college dropout soundtrack and boy howdy, what a soundtrack.

I have a day off tomorrow (gotta work Saturday though) and I'm driving an hour or so to look at/test drive a 2011 Mazda3 2.5 6 speed (hatchback!) with bank check in hand. :party: I know I was talking about the FiST earlier but I had to take a step back and look at my financial situation and realize that it's not the right time to buy a brand new hot hatch.  At least I'm keeping the Miata, and with it not being my daily anymore I can maybe give it some attention.Cheer me up, AI.

The wifey had her first day back to school, so she didn't have to take the 10 hour one way drive with me. On the way back I hit what I thought was a net full of crab pots east of Biloxi in i10 going 70+ in a spot that was so dark that I couldn't even react, kinda pooped the pants, but no mechanical damage that I could find on the wife's 07 Civic. When I checked it out at the next exit my hands smelled like I fisted a hooker so the crab pots theory is confirmed. Bumper is hosed but functional so whatever.

I'm honestly pretty out of date, I discover new music mostly via Slacker Radio (and now Google Play's new radio feature). Definitely not the radio. PM me a list of your music (just go to your music folder and type "dir <directory> /ad /s > blah.txt" (i.e. dir e:\music /ad > blah.txt) and I'll do the same - that'll generate a text file of every folder in your music folder - you can toss it on pastebin or something and PM the link). I'm always looking for new stuff to listen to. You'll be surprised at some of what I have though, punk isn't the only thing I listen to. Also, my first concert ever was NOFX.

That was before my time, I'm afraid. I think the ghetto Uncle John's pizza is shockingly good for what it is, but I'm down with any super thin crust pizza that's cooked well enough. There's terrible food options in SW in general, but my wife works in south WashCo so we're trying to stay around here for her. We're moving to the most despised suburb in Oregon and the food there is even worse.

No, that won't be necessary. But burns like that come from a dark place so it's important to call them out. I mean feel free to give me criticism but I thought there was a more grownup vibe in here. Now, who's been driving in France? Going down to a gite on the dordogne tomorrow au famille which promises to be good. Lot of toll roads so nice and quick and the money flies put of your account by magic.

Criticism: A more grown-up vibe also means not responding like this is after-school meeting of "The Sensitivity Alliance presents: Sensitivity Workshop: How to Passive-Aggressively respond to a non-Sensitivity trained [genderless pronoun] who has insulted you with their Insensitivity by implying their failure to conform to your ideas of Proper Behavior makes them a horrible, maladjusted person." TL;DR: Keep that poo poo on tumblr.

There have been a couple of occasions where I've taken a week or two out from doing it and when I get back on the bike that first day I feel pretty poo poo. Your base level of fitness drops off pretty rapidly if you stop exercising. Weight? I've been eating loads more and going to the gym chucking weights around so I've stacked on some timber in the past 6 months or so, but before that I was pretty static and never actually paid much attention to what I ate.
