    Anyone wanna meet around midnight for a drink and food? I haven’t eaten all day and I want to get dinner and about 6 beers before 2. Long Sunday and Monday ahead of me. 

    It’s a trap!

    I won’t be there until tomorrow or I’d be down.

    A rare shot of Hornian with his favorite BBQ spread, as he proclaims "the most important thing about barbecue is sauce:"

    Eh. I like sauce for making chopped brisket for the kids, and for ribs. And it don't bother me none if someone else puts sauce on my brisket. 

    And this is what pops up if you search for "water off a duck's back" in the GIF search:

    Recipe isn't showing up.

    If I told you I'd have to kill you. And then smoke you for about 12-15 hours. And then serve you with the sauce. 

    Then Netfilix would make a movie about it.

    It would be called Fried Green Tomatoes 2.

    Still worth the stop. Brisket is a little above avg (good flavor), ribs are good, sausage is among my fave. Very fresh crackers …

    Their bbq sauce is my Platonic ideal of sauce. It's what I try to emulate when I make mine at home.

    I posted this in another thread somewhere, but I think there's an opportunity moving to the sec to do a surly version of sec rant. The balls on any poster on that gawd awful forum talking shit about this place is (fricking) rich. So maybe add an sec board that's not so longhorn focused and maybe get some new blood that way?

    Somewhat related to that and as mentioned upthread, I think a lot of the crowd sourcing / fatwa shit is lame. A few folks from hardcore husky - who were admittedly terrible - got kicked off that probably didn't deserve it. People need to use the ignore feature more unless a poster does something egregious. I thought we came off like thin skinned pussies and it's generally better to keep them around and mock them for being idiots than ban them.

    Also, if things get really bad I can start taking pictures around my house again. Just let me know. 

    Make an SEC board; or just a board with “Tell me about X School” Threads and move those off the football board. All shit talking is legal, no neg rep allowed on that board. Shit only removed if it crosses a line (doxxing, pron, etc.), but for the most part have thick skin or GTFO. 
     

    Could also post road trip threads in there for away games.

    I’ve never been much of a car guy, I just want something that can get me from A to B and at least not look like an incel dork (sorry Tesla). But got damn, I love my Mercedes. First car I ever really enjoy driving. 

    Driving any ICE, including a Mercedes, is just different from driving an EV. I happen to prefer the EV feel - and it doesn't hurt the one I drive has 835 HP and goes 0-60 in 3 seconds.

    Just like others have mentioned on here, prices especially in the upper level have dropped considerably.  Feel sorry for those who rushed to buy the $600 upper level tix.
     

    im wondering how likely it will be that i can score some in the lower level for face value soon

    Loving it, I can’t decide if I like it more as a SUV or a really cool Tech Toy. It really is fun to drive. 

    One of the projects I have this week is to install the wall charger.

    The Stealth PPF came out great too.

    Nice. I have the same color (no PPF) and the 20”AT tires. 
     

    I need to get some running boards, which was going to be my Christmas present. But I’m spending all my running board $$ on then Sugar Bowl/NC if we make it.

    I picked mine up Wednesday, it is getting PPF and tint now but am excited to start driving it next week. 

    Welcome to the club. How has the first week been? 

    I’m ~7,500 miles in since the end of June and still love driving mine every day.

    When the hell are we going to be able to order season tickets? I put down a deposit...site has said ticket info coming in December. I'm not optimistic that's going to happen.

    145 miles on a battery is not “rarely need the engine” territory imo, as an electric car driver since 2016. Electric range is much like fuel range - stated as optimum. How you accelerate, average speed, stop and go, payload, and ordinary battery degradation impact that. 
     

    all of that said, I bought Tesla twice and probably won’t again. The positives are the company forced the market to move to EVs and software and user interface is much better than other cars even without car play. 
     

    we have a Porsche macan (thanks twice horn for the rec) and an model X. There are things to not like about the Tesla X but at 7 years old it has held up remarkably well. I’ll drive it for a few more years while the traditional auto makers figure out EV drive trains but I will likely switch to Mercedes (last car before my two teslas) or another maker when the time comes.

    as for recalls and cover ups, fuck all of them, right now tesla, before that VW, before that another one and before that another one. That’s capitalism for you (no CR and not a commie). 
     

    as for Elon, fuck him in his goat ass. Fucker. Piece of shit, blight on society, poster child for a wealth tax what a fucking waste.

    Mercedes EVs suck coming from a tesla. They want to make it feel like an ICE, so you lose all the EV perks like get in and go, the instant torque, regen braking, and hold at stop. We test drove a ton when my wife's Tesla was totaled and she wound up in a Volvo EV, which drives great. The software on the Volvo leaves a lot to be desired, though.

    So my connection got word he should get tickets if we make it.  My predicament is this:

    I didn't go to the 05 Rose Bowl (06 whatever) and we won.

    I went to the 09 game and we lost.

    I think I have to sit this one out, if we do make it.

     

    Am I crazy?  Probably.  Let's just beat Washington first.

    Yea. You’re crazy.  You go if you have the chance.

    Is there any great downside to sitting on Washington side?  I imagine it'll be at least sprinkled with plenty of orange and I don't think huskies fans are going to go all Ohio State on opposing fans.  Ive just been looking at prices with no idea which "side" they're on.  

    IMO outside of the school allotment, it’s going to be majority Texas fans regardless of “side”.
