You Am I posted:I'll be coming across some money soon, and flipping the mental coin whether to get a new FGX Falcon or go for a second hand Ecoboost G6/G6E. I'm kinda tempted to trade in my VE for one of the last Commodores next year. Maybe even step up to some sort of HSV - I really doubt they will lose much value. Either that or keep the present car in good ocndition - I cant see it really losing too much value now, any Holden or Ford V8 or Turbo I6 I suspect will become collectors vehicles. Hell, I saw a LH Torana G-Pak of all things now asking for 20 grand. And GETTING it. That just blew my mind so maybe sitting on a V8 for 20-30 years might be worth it.

You Am I posted:I want to drive the Falcon as a daily, and the Turbo 6 would get a bit too expensive to run. Whereas the Turbo 4 is as good as the standard 6, but weighs less. Dad bought one new in 1975(?) and we had it for I think 17 years. The real crazy thing is that a G-Pak was just basically a red motor 202, M20 four speed and some gee whiz poo poo like...a radio and black "sporty" upholsty (which of course in summer was loving hot as hell), unique hubcaps, radial tyres and racy stripes. Supposedly had 100Kw out of 3.3 litres and after a LC model rally spec cam and twin Strombergs plus a bigger exhaust, might have had 110Kw or a bit more. http://www.gmh-torana.com.au/forums/topic/1006-torana-lh-g-pak/ For the moon residents that have NFI what a Torana or a G-Pak actually is.

And here it is, 3rd May or the 3rd anniversary I got 100% serious about cycling as marked in Strava and just never stopped Started on a Specialized Roubaix that died in a car altercation after 10,393 kms Got a S-Works Venge Also a Epic Marathon for mountain biking After the Roubaix, came the S-Works Tarmac I called the Assassin for it's ridculous silence and road vibration killing. 9386 kms and sadly it cracked. That brings me up to the S-Works Tarmac Assassin Mk II that got some upgrades at the same time as the new frame - now up to 10,950 kms in just 10 months! So at the end of three years I'm now up to 40,573 kms since I rode off from Jet Cycles on the then new Roubaix. I said I was never going to stop and I havent. And I wouldnt swap any of those kms for just about anything in the world. (Lets see... the Tarmac S-Works Tarmac 2016 S-Works Power saddle with rear carbon bottle mount Other carbon cages Xentis 4.2 Silver Squad wheels / hubs 3T Aeroroad Stealth carbon bars S-Works stem Ultegra 9000 shifters Dura-Ace 9000 brakes Dura Ace 11 spd mech front / rear S-Works 52/36 spider Quarq power meter S-Works carbon cranks SPD MTB pedals to troll One day I'll upgrade to DuraAce shifters. Meh, it's not like the Ultegra ones are poo poo) quote:I always love the assumption that the guy on the bike that cost more than whatever the redneck in question is driving can't afford and doesn't own a car. gently caress you, I own 2 cars I barely drive (that are still better than your 2001 Focus). Yeah, the road bike I just added it up and drat near had a heart attack how much it would be to replace - The wheels alone are 3000 and this is a bike I commute with. Granted my commute is rather long and a good bike makes that a lot nicer....... The TT bike wasnt cheap to say the least either.

LOL @ Donald Trump gutting and leaving to rot yet another career politician. The amount of political corpses in his wake is just mindblowing and it just better! DISCLAIMER - NOT A POLITICAL OPINION ON HOW WORTHY CANDIDATES ARE FROM HEREON As much as the pundit class are all thinking Trump doesn't have a chance, the sheer carnage he has unleashed on the political class frankly says to me Clinton or Sanders are in for a much much tougher fight than they imagined 6 months ago. This is truly facinating to watch - there's going to be all sorts of textbooks and many MANY words written about this election season, it's truly remarkable.

Ether Frenzy posted:Minor note here: Trump has only gone against the feeble and the infirm thus far, and I feel it it will be he who is wearing his guts for garters once Hillary "Can we do more Benghazi Hearings? Please?" Clinton gets a chance to debate him directly and the RNC isn't there to protect him from mean Fox News anchors asking questions that are more difficult than "You have a huge penis. Tell us about it" which is the only thing he's faced to this point. The lineup only looks infirm and feeble after Trump shredded them. When he announced, Trump was a joke candidate against the huge warchest of Walker, the name and establishment recognition of Bush, let alone the other more favoured candidates. I will say that when he announced, I thought he was the actual best candidate (NOT SAYING HE WOULD BE AN ACCEPTABLE ONE, just the rest of them ranged from scary to downright run the gently caress away in fear) but no one had any clue he would just destroy anything in his path and I certainly didn't think he would actually win the nomination. Clinton might turn out to be more roadkill. I doubt it but Trump has beaten the Republican Party and I think anyone dismissing Trump now is wearing blinders. There is a lot of anger in the electorate and Trump is a uniquely teflon candidate with a real artform of cutting down opponents with great one liners. Plus Clinton isnt exactly liked herself to say the least

Ether Frenzy posted:Do you think the Clinton campaign is going to treat his various bankruptcies, court cases, and whatever nefarious criminal bullshit he's gotten up to the last 30 years with as much delicate respect as these hard-hitting supercandidates he's just disemboweled did? I think they may not. And you think Trump isnt going to double down on every even imagined scandal on Clinton? And you bet your bottom dollar he will find a one liner that will make her fodder for mocking. The sole thing the chattering class have had in common is severely underestimate Trump's ability to tear an opponent to pieces and to be complete teflon. Any other candidate I would agree, he should be destroyed easily. Not this time. The electorate is coming after the political class with baseball bats as well, standard messaging wont work. CommieGIR posted:Trump is a loose cannon too, and feels that we should have the right to use force wherever we want. He's not much better in that regard. I'm not entirely sure on that one. My gut feel with no evidence to back it up is he appears less hawkish than Clinton. The thing is that he is distinctly left of Clinton on some issues so who knows. I guess now we start having a good look.

It's going to be back into the mid 80's for the high by Friday supposedly. The only good thing about the weather definatly being completely screwy (It's late autumn. It's loving 28C. I'm cycling in the dark in short sleeves) is that it's finally smashing home the point climate change is a real loving thing and whelp this El Nino got supercharged by all the poo poo we are pouring into the air and water. And now you are having an Australian style firestorm in Canada. CANADA. In spring where it still is supposed to be thawing out. Apart from the length of daylight, you wouldn't even know we were approaching winter. I'm confused where I see trees without leaves and I'm still in T-shirts because that's just not right. I've also noticed the local possums are way fatter than usual as it hasn't gotten cold enough to kill off the insects and they are having as late season feast.

Tusen Takk posted:Linus is a noted douchebag and insufferable shithead but I'm not sure what that post meant either Stop posting utter crap. Linus is in fact quite a good guy to know and is drat good at his job. Oh booo loving hoo, he calls out idiot and guts them. Well that just happens to be GOOD. If someone does something that breaks Linux, there's a whoooole fuckload of systems that can go extremely wrong and frankly he gives people a lot of chances before he hauls them across the coals. Plus Linus isnt on a religious OSS crusade, he just wants to get the job done... which is a drat sight more than could be said about the fools who are critical of him like in the SFC - Karen Sandler, who basically made GNOME foundation bankrupt with her misguided gender politics. You should look that up, that is a true clustefuck of stupid. So stupid that when she tried to get on the Linux Foundation, the big players went No loving Way and made sure she would never get a seat. Oh then Matthew Garrett, someone who was correctly torched by Linus for being a clueless idiot over dipshit ideas about UEFI jumps up and down claiming to be a victim. And Garrett continues to be a lying fuckwit about the situation and anything to do with Linus ever since. If you get gutted by Linus, then you absolutly, completely and utterly deserved it. As I said, he is in fact quite a good guy who simply does not suffer stupidity.

The Door Frame posted:I am obsessed with this 35 year old car infamous for its build quality, with no A/C, and with obvious rust on a monocoque body. However, it's less than 4' feet tall, is about as long as my current car's wheelbase, and is ME/RWD. I don't know why I'm counting these as a positives considering I'm 6'3, but I love these tiny, hideous, wedge cars (like the 914/6) for reasons that are beyond me Stock form, the truth is they are loving awful even for their day. The positives are a rorty exhaust noise and quite direct steering. What they are glorious for is they respond impossibly well to mods. I had a go in one that had a Lancia Beta 2 litre shoved in the back with a Lancia 5 speed, some suspesion mods and bigger brakes - now i think about it, in all honestly time has redefined "fast" where I have a road car that would smash it stupid but for the late 80's it was a firecracker. Anyway, it's a good base to build up something. Derail : Kinda funny to look back and think a high 14's / low 15's car was called stupid fast (which is was when the average V8 was doing 16's) when only a handful of years later the WRX appeared and you had that kind of speed stock.
