Hello AI May chat thread. I am fairly new to AI having discovered this lovely place through the saga of 14 INCH and you all seem like cool and good people.

I kind of passed on PUBG when it first launched but if you guys do semi-regular pubstomps then I might pick it up. Looks like a good way to blow off some steam.

I would love an AW11 if I had both a garage to work on it in (I live in an apartment, so nope on that front) and could find one mostly rust-free.

There was an SW20 turbo for sale near me recently but I am nowhere near a good enough driver to even look at that car.

I drive a 99 Accord V6 coupe and it is the closest thing I will ever own to an NSX

Maybe one day... :unsmith:

Blew my college savings on college years ago. It was a good choice, but now I really can't afford an NSX!

They're still hovering around 60-70k in Canada (and that's in Canadjan Pesos, so that's about 44-51k in internationally accepted freedom bucks) so perhaps one day my unrecognized talent for convincing people I know more than I actually do will get me the kind of raise I need to make a horrible car purchasing decision.

But right now, I am at work, and I am going to keep rereading Requiem for a Jeep because it's the first day for Cisco Live session scheduling and that means the session scheduler is broken as gently caress.

Yeah for anything muscle, go to an RMT. Anything you think might be spine/nerve, go to a doc. I went to a chiropractor once at the suggestion of my (usually sane) mother and walked out feeling less of my original pain but only because there were new pains that were harder to ignore.

Get someone in another country with free international talk and text to rack that kid's bill the gently caress up.

That's the hard part.

Hmm. Does Skype still let you search for people by phone number? I remember once upon a time a forum I was on had a problem with some kid who got banned DDoSing us. We looked him up on skype, got a location and name, and called his mom.

The DDoS stopped.

Call pretending to be competition that's been won, but say you need an adult's permission to sort out the XBox or whatever he's won, hopefully get his mother on the phone or to call you back, and give her the list of poo poo.

gently caress, that's good.

For bonus marks, see if you can get a 1-800 number to show up on caller ID using Google Voice.

Taking pictures while working on cars is something at which I am VERY BAD so I wish I had more snaps. Here goes:

A Cammaster is when you bolt a manual transmission onto an LT1 Roadmaster.

Is it legal to have flashing lights and sirens on a private vehicle on public roads in TN? I know in a lot of places it's not.

I dunno, dude. I live in Canada so I don't know what the customs are for dealing with idiots like that down there but all I can say is file a police report and hope the local southern sheriff or whatever doesn't decide to make an example out of you for somehow slandering the good God-fearing name of the deceased in that procession and his/her family.

Sour beer recommendations? PNW and Westcoast specific please. I'm big on most other beer styles but just haven't dug into the sour scene yet

Trading Post Brewery has some good sour stuff if you can get weird suburban Vancouver beers.

Rhyno, import a first gen NSX from Canada. They're much less expensive here than they are in the US. (You can find well-maintained ones with 200,000 km or about 120k miles on them for $60k CAD or less).

THAT'S how you look good to the higher ups. Trade in your "that guy has a lot of variously working cars everywhere in our parking lot" for "whoa, that guy has an NSX". And let me live vicariously through you.

Sup bored at work buddy? :hfive:

Company founder retired at noon today so the whole office is pretty somber. I'm sure there's stuff I could be doing but none of my customers seem to be interested in returning my emails or phone calls today so instead I'm posting on SA and looking at cars on autotrader.ca.

What does the snip cost?

A thousand bucks out of pocket with no insurance in the US. But even in that case I'm fairly certain you can call up Planned Parenthood and they'll sort you and your vas deferens out.

At about 14 I began to recognize that if you remove

$20k a year in childcare costs from age 0-3
$40k a year in childcare costs from age 3-18
$100k a year in college fund from age 18-23
$5k a year in "My kid needs to buy an Evo X but ended up having his own kids so now he wants me to dip into my retirement" fund from age 23-42

Then all the funds for yourself get real full, you can buy those crazy presents for your nieces and nephews that their MEAN parents won't buy them, eventually your mattress also fills up with $100 bills with no kids stealing them and you end up having to find dumb things to spend money on, like $40k cars.

No Ragrats.

I like to think of it as being "either I can have kids or have a house with a garage and a nice car AND not want to kill myself".

oh boy BRZs/FR-Ss are now getting to the real cheap price range

They're going to get cheaper soon since rumours are floating around that Toyota's going to announce a second gen BRZ/whatever86 for the 2019 model year.

Seriously considering picking one up when that happens.
