  1. I wouldn't even quit my job.
  2. He’ll be at UCF next year if this keeps happening
  3. I’ve been told this doesn’t belong in the shitbox thread, so X-posting here. Rojo Jr’s new whip. 2014 Focus ST. 2 litre turbo 4 with 3 pedals. It’s a fucking blast to drive and makes me want a 3rd pedal back in my life. The car is immaculate. Adult owned and garage kept its whole life, tastefully updated and lightly modded. RS intake, upgraded intercooler (big gainer in this car, factory one is tiny and gets heat soaked fast) Cobb stage 1 91 octane tune, and factory ST exhaust with a resonator delete. Also has a Turbosmart BOV so it makes cool turbo noises. I bought it out of town and drove it home yesterday and couldn’t stop smiling
  4. I debated where to put it, but it's an 11 year old car with 90K miles, so not new and not classic...

  6. I think this is what you meant.
  7. All this talk about smoking reminded me of this Derrick Stroup bit. Good part starts at 14:00
  8. Hot take: All the MAGA Barbies that signed the discharge petition will vote against release when it comes to the floor vote.
  9. I think it's just vapes, right? Hotwheels vetoed the total ban and it never made it to a vote in the special session.
  10. I've read they're also going to build a certain number of "homologation specials" with a V8 for sports car racing.
  11. Those defense stock dividends don't pay themselves.
  12. And there's no fucking way those idiots could have kept quiet about a 5th person. I also felt bad for the brother having to sit there with his kooky wife and the crime solvers club or whatever. No way I could have sat through that shit.
  13. And made it .000000001% more difficult for his son to score his next 8th.
  14. False advertising. No sideboob posted.
  15. I mean, Texas kicking the shit out of Ohio State and Trump dropping dead on the golf course in full view of the cameras would probably be up there with the birth of my twins as the best day of my life.
  16. Hasn't stopped them from screaming "SOCIALISM!!!" at every effort to help the common man.
  17. Because 7 of them are likely to die from easily preventable diseases or child labor accidents?
  18. Rojo Jr called a little panicked earlier, then texted me 10 minutes later it was a false alarm. On another note, the high there today is 66 degrees, which might be worth the risk
  19. Ascension Bay Lodge in Punta Allen Mexico. Just jumped out for the pic. A lot easier to deal with those fish in shallow water. They can't dive under the boat, and the guide can walk with them and cut them off so they don't get far away once you get them close the first time.
  20. GR Corolla or just a Corolla with a body kit? The GR Corolla looks like a blast to drive. 300 HP out of a 3 cyl turbo with a manual and AWD. A kid in my neighborhood has one and it sounds killer. I don’t know if he’s got aftermarket exhaust or stock, but it sounds like an LS and a 3 rotor rotary had a baby.
  21. Spent a week Permit fishing in Mexico at the beginning of August. Permit fishing was tough, but I caught 7 Tarpon between 35 and 100 pounds. The big one whipped my ass. Fought for an hour and forty five minutes on a 10 wt. Dumped most of my backing twice, leadered the fish 4 times, but never got a hand on it. Finally broke it off after it abraided the 80 lb shock tippet as I was trying to turn its head near the boat for the 5th time. Broke it off almost a mile from where I hooked it in about 40 ft of water. I did manage one small Permit.
  22. Ha! This will be one of those escalatory charges they use subjectively to fuck the browns. Get pulled over with a gun? Well, I don't like it but you're not a felon and we live in an open carry state, so...What's that? There was half a joint in his ashtray? 20 years, no parole!!!
  23. Don't laugh. After dropping Rojo Jr off in Fayetteville last Wednesday, I drove home, packed up Little Roja (his twin sister) and moved her into her off-campus apartment in that humid hellscape of strip malls and knock off fast food restaurants. To say the difference is stark would be an understatement.
  24. I stayed in an AirB&B right by their campus a couple years ago. Rojo Jr looked into it, but they didn't offer the specific CS program he was interested in, and IIRC it was still kind of spendy for OOS. I'd also be afraid he'd never, ever go to class in that beautiful a place.
