Aaaaaand just like that, we're out of the game. No house for me to frame my doors in The missus got laid off. While we could put up a paper tiger with her dad's company and have our finances seem like they're still in order until we close, it would be reckless at best to jump into a house that's that hosed up, in an economy this hosed up, when only one of us has a solid job. And that one person is also the first person in their company that would be let go, should things continue to get worse I guess the seller being super petty and dragging the negotiations out was a blessing in disguise

The texas style sauce is what makes it for me. The local craft beer place has a nice little bbq food truck that stays in the parking lot that has a sauce that is just about perfect for giving me warm nostalgia fuzzies. gently caress. I should get some bbq tomorrow.

In fact the only way you could be more wrong is if you said that nasty rear end alabama white bbq sauce was the best. Now, I will compromise that Carolina style is a very solid #2, but it is not the best

Carolina style can for the most part just gently caress off, good on brats, that’s about it I thought. Now I grew up Maul’n it, but my brother-in-law from North Carolina managed to fusion his state sauce with a good ol’ St. Louis pork steak and opened a new horizon for me.

Giving it some serious thought, I think I'm going to buy a Mazda5, and thumb my nose at the Chicken Tax by turning it into a panel van. I just want a Transit Connect (or similar sized work vehicle) with a manual transmission, but those are rare enough to make me think that they don't exist in the US marketElmnt80 posted:Wow, I didn't think it was possible to be this wrong. In fact the only way you could be more wrong is if you said that nasty rear end alabama white bbq sauce was the best. I won't even touch Alabama sauce, so I wouldn't know where it sits, but every Texas sauce I've had has been too overpowering. Too much of that molasses-y sweetness and peppercorn that drowns out the smoke and rub that I want out of my meat Maybe it's different when you're actually in Texas, but what we get here makes Carolina the clear winner

I have never had that weird White BBQ sauce, but all sauces matter. I'm a memphis/st louis style guy in general, but I will eat BBQ of any type at any time and there is a time and place for the Carolina style. My pulled pork sandwiches came out fantastic, I slathered the meat in a combo of Stubb's Spicy (too lazy to make my own this week due to having a bad quarantude right now because of the damage to Iowa), plain old american yellow mustard, and a handful of some homemade quick-pickle cabbage (shredded cole slaw mix, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, some peppercorns, and let it sit for half an hour)

I enjoy a Kansas/Carolina sauce combo on my meat. Sweet and smoky, but with plenty of vinegar and mustard to add heat and cut the richness and fat if the delicious meat it goes on, lots of peppers and heat is awesome too. I just found a local company that makes Jamaican style hot sauce with Scotch Bonnets and mustard, which is amazing, and heretofore impossible to find on the West Coast It's awesome with good sweet bbq rub on some porks. Need to find some goat to smoke. If y'all want to read about my super lovely house, I made a thread.

Well my months long journey around the country for a new to me car has finally ended 15 minutes up the highway! The same as mine but the sports version, aftermarket quad exhausts with a nice note. A lot of maintenance that I know needed to be done (and known issues sorted already). Ran it through Holden dealer network for any major work required and nothing, safety and history check all came up good. And its bloody $5000! I am a very happy man.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Surely thats not a V8 for that price? If it is you made out like a goddamn bandit. Lord no its not a V8. It's a competently modded V6 from a shop I have actually heard from in Cairns. I am thinking with this one I don't want to do much fuckery like I always do myself - especially with electrics. Was going to swap out the dash again like my current one and reflash the PROMs with the new VIN etc and much with faking DZ on the HVAC module but maybe I'll buy a turnkey solution and also gain all the newest tech instead of lovely 2008 infotainment trash: https://automotivesuperstore.com.au/car-audio-bundle-holden-commodore-2006-2011-ve Meanwhile this was sadly something I narrowly missed for a complete steal: A VERY worked R34 GT-T for $15k

Oh yes, I pleaded for it more pathetically than this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZJxaE318eM It also had a bunch of parts, almost full carbon interior and big sound system. A big trailer full of upgrades yet to be fitted and maybe '34NEO' numberplates.

Franklin's BBQ sauces are available online, not officially (though it looks like they're stupid expensive, $26 for 2 bottles on Amazon - it's less than $5 where I work). Stubb's has a decent sauce (Stubb's started in Austin), and since McCormick owns the Stubb's brand now, it's easy to find nationwide.

I've driven the larger Transits and they were fun enough for barges Transmission was shot, which is itself a bit WTF for a nine year old car, but even if it hadn't been it was a loving four speed in 2011. Every hinge was creaking and squealing. Seating position was just awkward, and honestly the interior of my old '98 Ranger was at worst on par, if not better. The only thing it didn't have was the classic Ford power steering fluid whine, and even that still pissed me off when I realized the level check on the power steering is a clouded-up see-through reservoir instead of a dipstick.
