    Car ?'s

    You think you'll save money on gas, but 100% guarantee there will be an alternative road tax for EVs because the states are not able to get their tax revenue from the pump. You will spend just as much in the end, its only a matter of time.

    Car ?'s

    Honestly, it sounds like the car is too expensive for you and there would be better uses for your 2-3 years of savings, like putting it away for retirement. I get that you want it, but you certainly don't need it. I'd also say you're wasting money on crypto, but kids these days don't like to...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Very true. Key players could be out for a few games, which isn't great for their teams.

    Meh. The vaccine doesn't stop people from spreading it and it doesn't stop being from getting it. Positive could be nothing more than aches for 24 hours. Are these guys over age 55 with comorbidities? Nope? OK...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Blizzard very likely did things wrong over the years as it relates to employees. But, they are going to be made into an example and will probably be burned more than their indiscretions warrant.

    Miniature Painting

    Ink or oil paint washes and mineral spirits. Easy way to add depth and dynamism.

    Home Improvement

    Actually, no. Not this year. I never considered it, but there aren't any around. The nasty freeze we had this February killed a lot of plants that they liked.

    Home Improvement

    I trimmed the top foot and a half, so let's see what happens there. They also sit in the full sun for 6-8 hours per day. I really don't have a green thumb, so this is new to me.

    Our tomato plants just exceeded 6 feet tall and are barely producing fruit. I think I'm doing something wrong, lol.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Prior generation was the last one that looked good to me. Only attractive BMW left is the M2. Personal preference, of course. I'd pick an Audi or Merc in the same tier, these days. RS5 is 8 series money, faster, and prettier.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    All performance mods will be the same, except exhaust (8 series is a longer car). 5 is faster due to less weight. Can make them both faster, but the big power voids warranties and you'll get to a point where a 2 year old M5 is more cost effective and better looking.

    Home Improvement

    This might be a dumb question, but is there a meter that records how long its been used, or is that just an estimate someone throws out about how much they think they've used it?

    Miniature Painting

    What game is that @Warr ? The new version of Mordheim (skirmish)? Since covid broke 18 months ago I've been dying to get back into modeling terrain, painting armies, and playing. But, I can't do full scale Fantasy/40k anymore. There's too much required and no one to play with. I'd love to be...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Its not the transmission, its the tuning and software each manufacturer decides to code for that trans in w/e car. The ZF 8 speed is a very good transmission and can hold a ton of power. In the Hellcat it was amazingly responsive and user friendly. In the Audi, maybe it was coded to be safer and...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    So he doesn't like the cash shop. He could, ya know...not use it? Nothing is "required" its simply a matter of how impatient someone is. Activision/Blizzard is a business. Businesses pursue profits. Companies of this size honestly don't care if they hurt someone's feelings. If the content and...

    Should probably encourage her to leave the house and do something social/active in school or with the community. Sports, theatre, charity, etc. And this is coming from someone who does play an MMO as one of my hobbies.

    Warhammer 40k

    They've never, ever made brilliant business decisions and have alienated their fan base in different ways, for decades. Now I hear they are bringing back Warhammer Fantasy, despite making a massive deal out of its death years ago saying how much better Age of Sigmar was. Dumb in the past. Dumb...

    And now that asshole Helmut says they have an attorney to investigate Lewis' attempted murder. It's getting ridiculous.

    Formula 1 and MotoGP - Racing

    There was plenty of room on that corner, regardless of speed. You can actually see Max turn right into the apex unnecessarily, simply to squeeze Lewis. It didn't work. Racing incident. Both racers. Both wanted to win. Let's move on.

    UFOs don't pay as well as vaccines, votes, and oppressing the population.

    Did he kneel on the podium? I turned it off when the race ended. But yeah, he's going out of his way to be that guy lately; "hey, look at me some more. See how much of a role model I am. Love me".

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Typically I would have been more eloquent as well, but I'm a tad annoyed. This whole "us versus them" mentality hurts everyone. And, I miss the game. Today, its all drama and politics, which we all need much less of.

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    It's not about who's watching this new charade or isn't watching it. It's the fact that these fucking assholes think it's necessary to continue to divide the nation by pandering to the loud and destructive minority. A "black anthem", whatever the fuck that bullshit is, only further separates...

    GTi (and the R variants) have all been great cars. Plenty of performance, comfort, tech, and practicality. Would be a top 3 choice for me if I had to move to Europe.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Its a real shame. I've had 4 "M" cars over the years and loved them all. But, this new generation is just awful. Their 7 series and X5/7 are just as bad. Love that green though.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Don't do it. They are all ugly as sin now and you will not want to own one past year 4 (from new). I got out of all of mine before the warranty. And I say this because you seem to keep your cars for a while. If you want luxury and reliability, go Lexus. If you must have German, stick with an S...

    Me, a Viper T/A, and a McLaren 560 through the national forest in Montgomery. One of the only decent roads in the greater Houston area. Only fun between 50-120 mph, assuming no other cars are out, or they pull over.
