reliable: yes practical: debatable MR2 and Camacho are the only ones staying, and Camacho is contingent on modifying it to pull the boat.

But the looks you got from it will be priceless memories.

I didn't realize there were so many AI sailors. Superducky - are your initials W.S? I can't keep anyone's username straight with who they are. Got a few firsts, a second, and a third in club race series as crew this year, and got my first flag as skipper. I race on a Shark24.    When you can see this much of the bottom of the boat it means you're having a good time.  If I shouldn't post sailing pictures here feel free to tell me to gently caress off.

this is the death of my automotive insanity. the motorcycle is leaving, the gorester is leaving, just so i can slowly die in comfort on I-64 W with the other lemmings every weekday morning. this 2011 E350 is a physical reminder of my selling out to the man. Goodbye, lead foot. Fiscal responsibility. Tax-advantaged retirement accounts. Conventional mortgages. Proper punctuation in my posts. Rotary club.

I'll admit when I heard you got an E350 I was picturing the kind with the D60-1SU fullfloat rear axle with 8 lugs and factory disc brakes, not the "trophy wife of a prominent lobbyist who just cut off 4 lanes of traffic while buried in her cellphone" kind Also rotary club does have its benefits, their gangtag is cool

Well drat! That looks like a fun commuter! But its not the true suburban housewife mobile, if it was the GLC (used to be the ML class) it would be. We need video with exhaust sounds.

Guys I am completely out of my element. I have no idea what I'm doing. This car just surrounds you in opulence. The driver's seat has adjustable everything, a back massager, and the bolsters inflate when you go around corners. Both front seats are heated and cooled. There's nightvision in the nav screen and driver assist, whatever that is. I keep finding little tiny things like the button in the trunk at eye level that closes it and locks all the doors, or the sensors on every door handle that unlock the entire car if you have the key in your pocket. There's so many buttons and I have no idea what to do with any of them. I'm still getting used to having A/C. The car just quietly putters along in the slow lane, and I'll roll onto the accelerator and suddenly before you can even gather what's going on you're going 100mph. Like, it doesn't feel fast at all. Rolling up to 100 from 50 feels slower than flogging the MR2 to 60 from 40. It's completely insulatory. Then you hit the AMG button and the stupid thing becomes an entirely different car. 518hp completely on demand, rev-matching, what the gently caress am I in a Ferrari did the exhaust note just change why the gently caress is this old man car behaving like this where am I what just happened does that say 150 is this what dying feels like

Yep. When I traded in my old Toyota Celica for my first BMW, I was blown away, and that was a fairly basic model. Even then it was comfy and sporty enough that I basically stopped riding the motorcycle. I kept telling friends and family one of the major differences of a car like that, or yours, to a "normal" car is that 50 doesn't feel different than 90, and you don't know how you got TO 90 accidentally.

That feeling is exactly why I bought the Volvo, while it can do over 100, it isn't exactly super excited about it, and around 75-80 is where is wants to be on the highway. I can't have something like that AMG, I will go to jail.

TrueChaos posted:Shameful. Get something worth racing.  I don't know that I'm a fan of doing foredeck on boats without lifelines, but the Santana 20 is fun, its like a combination of a Thistle and a J24. Having to pull the Flying Tiger out of the water, not enough water in the slip. We need rain, badly and it looks like the next chance isn't till next week.
