I fully plan on racing at East Bay in the 2018 season, so poo poo has to happen quickly since I won't be there until this time next year :v:

Oh poo poo, lemme know if you need a crew! I've been meaning to catch a race at East Bay and haven't been yet. I'm sure my son would love it.

Definitely.

I'm going to try and pick up a hornet/bomber, just for cheapness. Going to try and get out there this following summer just to check car counts and see what class would be worth it.

Found the issue. The Habit is horrible :(

Edit: I shouldn't say horrible. It's decent. But the price for what you get is lovely, and it just screams "yuppies love this" and has no more flavor than some fast food burgers at a premium price.

I'm as die-hard of an In-N-Out fan as any lifetime Los Angelan, but Habit is great when you want to sit down to eat because the higher prices keep away the local highschool football/soccer/church/motocross/debate teams. As I rapidly start becoming an old man in my thirties these things become valuable :zombie: I think it's a pretty deece burger too and tastes a bit more grilled.

That being said, some of the most amazing people-watching in California can be found at the Cabazon/Morongo In-N-Out.

I used to love the teriyaki char burger when I was younger, but that was before they expanded from Santa Barbara.

Well my new ride has a "SPORT" mode. It's a button that makes it go much faster.

I call it the "YOU JUST MEANEDERED INTO A REALLY BAD PART OF TOWN AND YOU FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE JUST GO MAN STOP SIGNS AREN'T WORTH YOUR LIFE" mode but that wouldn't fit on the button.

I'm also a little disappointed there isn't a molly-guard over the button.

I decided to get the hell out of there. Punched the SPORT button and flew down the streets at 35MPH. My head was on a swivel and my knuckles were white on the steering wheel. Made it out alive. I was in Beachwood and heading east I wandered into Shaker Heights/Garfield Heights and the neighborhoods get really rough really fast after dark and I didn't have a CCW.

Oh if you mean car Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Smooth ride and I've been getting between 30-40MPG in a SUV. Dual 750V MGs man hybrid AWD (with like a 60-40 split I think.) Somehow I feel like I should be listening to Yacht Rock when I am driving this thing.

(and can't post for 11 years!)

So my stepdad's Samsung TV has been having backlight issues. Once it's on, it's fine. If you turn it off, the TV powers on, but the backlight doesn't (you can see an image if you shine a bright light at the LCD). Unplug it for a minute and it's fine again.

He said it finally died entirely. He bought a new one, he was gonna toss it in the garbage. I told him I'd take it and see f I could fix it, and if I could, I'd sell it or keep it for my bedroom. I figured the inverter was going bad, and probably took out the power supply. Turns out the inverter and power supply are the same unit on this TV.

Get it home, and... wait... the power cord is just barely in the male plug on the back. Hm.. let's plug it in and see what happens. Wait, the standby light came on, and he said it wouldn't even do that. Hooked up a cheap $8 antenna, and...


:neckbeard:

I've personally seen the backlight issues plenty, and was the one to figure out the unplug/replug trick to get it working again, so I know the power supply is on borrowed time. But I now have a free 32" 720p TV in my bedroom, have my Chromecast on it, and a used power supply is about $40 shipped. NOT telling him it's working yet, I'll tell him in a few weeks once I finally get around to buying a new PSU. Also, the male plug end on the TV (detachable cord, typical 3 pin PC power cord) feels pretty loose, so I'm thinking some cracked solder joints from it being unplugged/plugged back in pretty much a few times a day for the past year.

When I was living in a campus apartment at UTA, the downstairs neighbor had the heat up so high (boiler system for the whole complex) one winter that my roommate and I had to open windows with it near freezing outside.

Huh. You must have snagged the harness on something at some point.

It was fine yesterday when I was under the car. :iiam: gently caress it, it's passed emissions, it's legal for a year, I'll throw a new sensor at it when the CEL annoys me enough. There's TONS of slack in the harness, so I don't think it's anything I (directly) did. That's the original sensor from 2005, to the best of my knowledge, and the wiring wasn't chewed up before. The engine bay harness going to both o2 sensors is chewed to poo poo though.

It was in a 90 degree O2 sensor spacer though. It's possible it rotated, and caused it to smack something and got knocked back up into its normal place. When I removed the spacer today it wasn't even finger tight, and I cranked that thing down tight. Once it gets a new sensor I'll run it sans spacer for a bit, if the P0420 comes back it'll go back into the spacer.. and that bitch is getting hammered into place, and thread locker will be used (after all, the bung is part of the cat assembly anyway). It's also possible something chewed on it, but it would be really weird for it to chew on 4 wires in one very specific place.

Also feeling you on the downstairs neighbor. It's 50 outside.. 75 inside, and neither the heat or ac have run all day. I have my bedroom window cracked. Can't open the living room window because it's a sliding door with no screen, and I'd rather keep my hairy pussy away from roaming the streets. Also, I have a second magnet on one of my bedroom windows, so I can still fully arm the alarm without bypassing the windows - my bedroom windows are accessible from my back patio, which has its own set of stairs, so if one is open someone can just waltz right in.

I actually like Smash Burger, but it's not a fast food burger. Don't care for Five Guys at all (their fries are bomb though). In n Out is okay. And don't you dare say anything negative about Whataburger around me.

That wasn't the plan. The plan was tangible value through popularity and record sales promoted using shock & awe tactics. The plan worked.
