Christ, STR. Is your TV a laser array? I fall asleep with my DLP projector on all the time and don't have temperature issues.

NitroSpazzz posted:The M5 came with a hideous radio head unit. The rest of the stereo install is decent and will likely stay but I need a head unit that matches the rest of the car. Are there any companies that make head units that look like mid/late 80's BMW style but would function with a newer audio install? Basically I don't want a big screen, a bunch of lights and graphics. edit: I'm stupid, ignore me

CommieGIR posted:Haw. Welcome to Hotlanta Have we ever figured out who else lives in the north metro? Also gently caress this pollen. Waxed the Tiger 10meter today. Took more time to get the scum line of pollen off the drat thing than putting ptfe on the whole wetted surface of the lower hull. X5 was a champ pulling it out, though! e: Holdbrooks posted:Anyone got a good recommendation for a cheap obd2 reader on Amazon.? I have the wifi one and some iPhone apps but they don't like the fiat and won't read the codes. It won't start after the tune and I'm not sure if I unplugged something or my ECU is bricked.

The Locator posted:Googled this. I am now officially jealous. You should note I'm not the owner, just a very lucky crew member, with the blessing of the skipper to do what is necessary to make the boat go fast and win. You could call me the crew boss/first mate. That's not even the craziest thing going on around here right now. My buddy does the same thing on a [redacted for legal reasons] Yes. It is straight carbon loving fiber and it is insane. The owner tried to order it with a carbon fiber rig and couldn't find anyone to insure it because it'd be that insane. So its only aluminum, but considering the abuse we've put it through, that's probably a good thing. I was on this ride and it was crazy. I'm not legally allowed to say what happened but...things broke that day. We're lucky the boat and everyone on board survived.

The Locator posted:Awesome video, that thing was hauling rear end. I'm not sure how 'sailboat things' venture into the territory of not being able to legally talk about them. You are certainly living the dream though (well, maybe not everyone's). Pending/possible legal action. Tall ships are sweet, I hope I'm able to sail one someday. Sprits are a complicated question. Initally, the bowsprit was one of the best-secured parts of the boat, so it made sense to attach more sail area up there. As better materials in boat building and sailmaking came along, the tall ship and yawl rig went away because sloops made more sense. If you go back and look at the video of the Carbon Colubmia and the sailplan of the Tiger10 and other contemporary sportboats, the bowsprit is making a comeback, albeit, generally retractable. We've discovered that downwind, hoisting a big rear end spinnaker further off the forestay makes it easier to trim and to bend the apparent wind angle. I might have gone a little bit overboard on the technicalities, there, let me know if I need to explain everything further--I can answer questions in more detail tonight after I get off work.

Its not really that boats are any more expensive than cars, really. Its just the luxury market they cater to. I work for West Marine and their margins are obsecene. A fool and his money, though.

Commie, if I'm ever in need, could I bother you to use your printer for beer/cost/whatever you deem fit? Also, SoWo is less than a month away! Made plans to attend yet? Also, also, the mitty is this weekend. I have to work saturday so I didn't pay for the BMWCCA corral but I'll be there sunday.

Grats, honky! Glad to hear it commie. I'm bringing some 2.7tt buddies who would love to chat with you. Shoot me a text at 770.561.0020 so we can get together and chill. We'll have an rv at unicoi state park about 15 minutes north of Helen if you'd like to stop by/crash. Keg choice TBD. The e30 might be getting the ghettolicious primed/sanded but not painted-sorta imola -iS valance installed for the gently caress of it before I take it up there. We'll see how the RV and e30 cooling system repairs go.

If they're broken how do you fix them? Import the scans into Inventor then edit them to correct tolerances, there? e: An old family friend got me an in for a technical writing position with a local embedded systems designer. They want writing samples. I've never really done any technical writing per se, just technically inclined pieces for the college paper and a few other small things. Hopefully the good ol' boy discount will be enough to at least get me an interview. I know I can do the job based on what they've told me the day to day is, but knowing and convincing someone else are two completely different things. e2: I should note I have a journalism degree so I'm sorta there, and its an entry level position so, hopefully, I'm just psyching myself out.

Cool old(er he is like 48) dude I know had a Cayenne Turbo. He is extremely affluent but even he balked at the 6 grand dealer ceramic brake job. So he sold it on C/L and bought a CPO M6.

T-Square posted:This weekend I banged an ex and it wasn't weird, shot guns with the payroll lady at work and her husband and 8 year old son (he said my .22 was cool looking so I let him shoot it ), and just about finished up fixing the water pump leak on my E30. Tossed a gallon of coolant in it, because that was all that I had on hand, but so far it isn't dribbling out of the bottom of the water pump like it was before. Refinished the valve cover, which is currently drying. Will probably throw that back on tonight or tomorrow, then it should be good to go after I replace the leaky oil pressure switch. 14" booze chat: My man.
