Last night I did an unpardonable sin. My five year old is starting to love LEGO but naturally freaks out any time my two year old tries to play and pieces start coming off. My two year old LOVES cars, and loves the little LEGO Speed Champion cars his brother has. We went to the store last night and picked out the Ford Speed Champions rally car. I assembled it last night, but I used hobby grade KRAGLsuper glue on the pieces. My two year old woke up today and FaceTimed me to say thanks and was so excited to have a LEGO of his own :3:

That's also the kind of guy who will have a knife/gun on him due to the chip on his shoulder, so jumping him before he's done anything violent is a bad idea (well that goes for starting poo poo in general). My brother was at a concert where a big guy had been being an rear end in the pit and pushing people around, after the show a little guy walks up, quickly slashed the guy's neck, and ran off. Took just a second or two and the big guy bled out and died.

I'm going on our annual "get blasted and float down a river for four hours, then sleep in a tent" trip tomorrow and there is just no productivity left in me.



E: One time at a show we were pushing our way through the crowd and some (much bigger) guy got pissed about it, so my friend turned around and said "SUCK MY BUTT." By the time I turned around, my friend was already knocked out and being dragged out of the crowd by some bystanders. He likes to heckle people, so I thought it was highly amusing.

The cops here police the popular drop-off and pick-up points for river tubing, and confiscate liquor. They also hand out tickets for drinking in public to people floating down the river drinking.

It makes sense though because there's no better use of their time than being the fun police.

They also just launched their crime map to show where crimes occurred in the last 14 days so you know to be careful there and....

Definitely fight for it though. I had 5 year old aftermarket stuff (stereo, wheels) and an ECU tune that I explained was married to the car. I provided receipts and they gave me about 30% of the original purchase price on all 3. This was with my own insurance company, (State Farm) and they paid for those things under a secondary comprehensive claim. So my collision paid out blue book and then I got an extra $1800 or so on top of it.

If your mods were brand new I can't see them having an argument against paying you back for it.

That's extremely annoying. This is a campground, you buy a ticket for a tube and everyone pitches in to buy a ticket for a separate cooler tube. Everyone waits in line at the campground beach bar with their coolers full of booze to get on full-size school buses, run by the campground, that haul you up to the 2-hour float drop-off, or the 4-hour float drop-off, give you a spiel of rules, don't get out of the river at any time, etc, and then boot you out onto the river. The route terminates at, you guessed it, the campsite beach bar, so you haul your poo poo out of the water, drop off your tubes, and walk your drunk rear end back to your campsite to drink some more. There's a couple of sheriffs that hang around the campground and won't do anything if you're not being a dick. It's a small rear end town, so it probably brings in a lot of revenue.



I did see a bitchin' police chase two years ago, some drunk dude took off from the bar in the middle of the night on his motorcycle, left his bawling girlfriend in the bar, and the cop hanging out in the parking lot was pretty much like welp. He didn't made it to the next campground, which had gravel roads. He didn't make it far.

Aftermarket should always be covered if the other party is at fault.
The "we don't cover mods" applies only to the insured and not the person you hit. They have to make you whole. Bring receipts for everything.

I like your way with words.
That's the only thing I don't like about Ecoboost stuff. They don't sound good at all. I wish they'd Ecoboost a small V8 or something, just for the noise.

Also I am stunned, STUNNED! I say! to learn that Raptor forums are an absolute shitshow. M3 forums are weirdly almost normal, but another comparison: This forum is the best forum for car (and anything) stuff ever, anywhere, and 'almost normal' is still a long way from the quality of posting we get here.

Speaking off, I'm almost afraid to venture too deep into Subaru/Outback forums for my latest acquisition. So far, I've dipped my toe in (just looked at a few specific articles) and didn't get it bitten off. Still may be better to stick to the Flannel thread in SA:AI.

Tubing and drinking is also fine in SC.

Technically most (maybe all, I dunno) of our public ocean beaches are dry, but it's really just that you can't be obvious with it. It's a big surprise for Ohioans who are used to Gulf coast beaches, when they get busted for open container for walking in the surf with their Bud Light can in Dirty Myrtle.
