I won $560 today at a casino by only spending 20 bucks.



Started that poo poo with 9 free spins, but then it just kept giving me more and more as I went on. Ended up winning $442 on that machine alone, and then was lucky on a couple other machines.

Ford kept diesel options available in the e350 for fleet sales only until 2015. Kind of like a post-2008 Crown Vic thing.

Our mechanics hate it. There's no access to anything, and the turbo piping ends up right against the doghouse, making it noisy and sometimes melting things.

I love the econoline, but holy oh gently caress that god drat engine. what a motherbitch to work on in the van chassis. It's bad enough in the SD trucks.

So I haven't dropped much weight - not even 10 pounds - but I'm making an effort to eat a bit better, and trying to work out a couple of times a week. I started the year bouncing between 195-200. I'm at 189 right now. At 5'7", that's still kinda heavy, but at my worst I was around 230. (my dad is 5'11 and 165... the most he's ever weighed)

NONE OF MY PANTS FIT ANYMORE. :argh: The shorts I'm wearing now used to be uncomfortably snug... they won't even pretend to stay on my hips without a belt (and I'm down 2 notches on said belt).

Yes. :v:

It's still more than I'd like, but I'm around a 6 pack after work now, instead of an 18 pack or more. I'm still dealing with the physical addiction to a degree - can't sleep without it, get some anxiety, and get to deal with dry heaving overnight and into the next day as well if I skip it, but I don't turn into shaky mcshakerson if I go more than a couple of hours without a drink anymore.

I am genuinely interested in the logistics of this:

Did you go for a piss every 20mins, throughout the entire evening? Do you have a TV mounted above your cistern, so you can follow the plot?

Do you have a bladder with a gallon capacity and spend a solid 10 minutes doing your impression of a firehose at the end of the night?

Or do you simply wander around your yard for the entire evening, with your cock out, simultaneously drinking and leaving a trail of piss?

Gotta love it when you pull the wheel bearings on your camper trailer and theres a small amount of rust damage on the rollers, but you KNOW that you gotta do it right. I could probably get away with it, and it would be fine for 10K kms but I also know that if i loose a wheel on a 1.5T camper trailer at 100kph on the Oodnadatta track in a weeks time then its going over and the landcruiser is probably going with it. And of course cos its a fancy as gently caress Kimberley Kamper it uses 2 tonne bearings on a 50mm stub axle, so they arent going to be cheap to replace.



Cheaper than a $37K camper and $90K 4wd, 1000km from the city tho.

This is why I never understood drinking (loving expensive) beer at sporting events and concerts. You're spending half the time standing in line to take a piss instead of enjoying the event you paid a lot of money to go to.

So after 3200 miles on my US coast to coast adventure, I can say the following definitively:

Prius drivers are always in the left lane going 20 over or 20 under.

BMW drivers are in a hurry and try to drive 30 mph faster than traffic can afford. They don't have time to wait for cars to move right because that's where they pass.

Brotrucks love to flip over. I've passed 5 accidents involving a brotruck.

That's 62mph, which is a perfectly reasonable towing speed if the road is decent.

You've never driven the oodna track before have you? Its a gravel highway. 100kph is the speed the ROAD TRAINS sit on on it unless its a chewed up section after some rain.

So? You yourself said that if you loose a wheel at that speed you'll flip both caravan and car? If your trailer flips when it looses a wheel you're going too fast, and if it also flips your car it's too heavy a trailer for your car. And I'm guessing you're not going to sell your trailer.

EDIT: I realize I come off as far more confrontational than I intended. I'm sorry.

I am currently between jobs and a combination of Doug DeMurro's 6,000 mi road trip from Philly to NorCal and back, plus American Truck Simulator being on Steam Summer Sale makes me want to randomly drive somewhere in my Prius, maybe play a remote golf course or two.

Trouble is, I live in Atlanta and don't really know where I want to go. Also I have 2 cats and would have to bring them along:

I went to a Mazda meet the other night and there was this dude with a MP3 Protege. And it was turboed. And he claimed he had "chassis swapped it for AWD" and it really looked like there was a rear diff under there. What the hell did I see? And no, I got no good pics of it.

Possible, depending on year model. There's often an AWD option that is JDM only that he could have imported the parts for. If you are thinking about the 98-2001one then yes, there was indeed a AWD option

Nah its all good. Most people just dont get outback driving. When your on a road like this



Its no big deal at all doing 100-110kph, even towing (Usually sit on 100 when towing cos otherwise the big girl drinks like an alcoholic at a brewery). the issue is that if your towing an offroad camper trailer and the wheel comes off, shes going to dig in and drag to the side, pull you off the edge of the road and THATS when your in deep poo poo cos once your in that soft sand at speed its game over.



Thats basically the setup, except thats a 200 series not a 100 series like I drive.
