I think Jackie Chan said he did the Rush Hour movies so he would have money to make the movies he wants in China.

I think Vin Diesel did something similar too.

I have a regular customer, he's 20 years old, weighs roughly 300lbs, has a long greasy pony tail and yeah, you can smell whatever he's recently eaten when you pass by him.

And he's openly mocking my health kick and I'm like "enjoy dying at 22 tubby."


Edit: also, I'm fuckin proud of myself

This is 20 pounds lost in just under two months


I never understood why you losing weight always offends others.

I am contemplating making a police report. Am trying to objectively look at it from all sides. My wife was furious at me for not complying with the rent a cops demands. Please anyone comment good or bad. Was I in the wrong? There is no law or requirement I stop for funeral but it is a practice here.

You did the right thing for this. Do not get out of the car if you're on the receiving end of road rage.

Call the police and make a report.

Wedding chat: So if you send invites without a plus one or guest option, do you send separate invites for couples that you want to be there?

I'm about to put my Camry up for sale on Craigslist. It's an 03 V6 that's mechanically good, the paint is okay aside from one dent/crease at the top of the drivers door panel where a 1:2" square of paint flaked off. There are some minor scratches on the driver side (parking lot scratches, not rubbed up against a bollard) that would probably buff out. I'm hesitant to buff that though, because I doubt the car has ever been waxed and I don't want one conspicuously shiny spot. The rest of the paint isn't bad, clear is good. It just needs a good a good polish and wax.

Do you guys think there's any ROI to be had from polishing/waxing a 14-year-old, $4k Toyota before listing it?

I think so. Helps make the car look better in the pictures. Throw it up for a little more than you were going to originally without the wax and polish, see what happens.

Have you considered a 1.8 vvt swap from a nb Miata? Shouldn't be a difficult swap and not that expensive.

The thread about Z car got me thinking: Did Wangan Midnight raise the prices of early Z cars like Initial D did for AE86?

Despite the initial sales boost, the Switch isn't doing to hot either. My wife bough one at launch, and while she loved the new Zelda and loves the switch, the lack of launch titles is really killing her interest in it.

Nintendo always seems to struggle to support their systems except for around the holidays.

I indulged at lunch (boss paid) and had two freaking potato skins and it was 450 loving calories! The waiter told me they weren't deep fried and he fuckin lied! Now I'm starving and don't want to go over my calorie allotment for the day.

One meal or cheat day isn't going to ruin your diet. Go eat dinner normally.

it depends on how much it's worth and how much money it'd cost to fix up. I reckon it's worth $30k but I'd also guess he has around $5-10k in cosmetic damage on it :v:

How bad is the cosmetic damage? I can't really tell from the photos.
