    And the reality will set in that the answer is the kind who can go drop 300k in a weekend for a pair of cars, and then realize they are just jealous.

    Bless your heart.

    I read Lance's book (the first one?) and what I got from that is that he is a world-class grudge holder and basically a sociopath.

    The guy has deep, unresolved issues. 

    Grow up, Lance. 

    But he probably couldn't have achieved all he did unless he had a raging justice boner to prove his worth. 

    He's one fucked-up dude. I wish he would be a better person. Really. He could be so much more as a person.

     

    Indeed.

    Hope you have better luck than this one....

    The 39.6-metre sailing yacht My Song has fallen off a cargo vessel during her transportation from the Caribbean to the Balearics. During Saturday night the Baltic 130 superyacht was lost in the Mediterranean before reaching the Balearics, where she was due to be unloaded in Ibiza ahead of her appearance in the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta next week. 

    Her owner, YCCS member Pier Luigi Loro Piana, has arranged for My Song to take part in the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta as a returning winner after having won the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta last year and being recently declared Boat of the Year at the Italian Sailing Federation's Sailor of the Year awards.

    Yeah I saw that this morning. That's a bitch.

    Question: Would the ToC benefit from rescheduling so that its timing did not conflict with one of the Grand Tours?

     

    @G650 Get in the MTB thread and post some pics, damnit. Likewise for @52-80 and anyone else who also rides trails.

     

    Shit man, my MTB has been hauling my 3 year old to the beach more than trails. I wish I had some to post 

     

    I think the ToC needs to go before the Giro. The weather in Cali is gorgeous all spring.

    My wife can't come to terms with the fact that our car has dual-zone climate control.  This is how she interfaces with it:

     

    "Honey it's too hot/cold, can you turn on the ac/heating?"

     

    5 minutes later: *slams all her vents shut*

     

    Nevermind there's a rotary knob right there where you dial an exact temperature.....

     

     

    This is my life.

    If you have dedicated snow tires, why run all-season?  Or if you have the occasional, unpredictable cold and snowfall, the Michelin CrossClimate line is better compromise -- more performance than even "high performance" all-seasons, but still MS rated and legal for winter

    I live in CO and in the mountains you can get snow when you don't expect it. Drove over Vail Pass yesterday in a blizzard. I wouldn't want to get stuck in something like that in summer tires.

    Indeed. I've done an unintentional 360 before driving summer tires on snow.

    Wow! Boat delay causing someone to be a bit grumpy?  And, I could not care less about what some random jackass thinks about my car buying decisions.  To each his own.  

     

    Lol, no. I'm just saying man. Do what ever you want. If you want to go full aspirational ala pepper, knock yourself out, it's a free country.

    ETA: Just to be clear I'm not condemning you dude. We all do totally fucking ridiculous stuff. But be prepared to be called ridiculous when doing said things.

    That would clearly be the smartest decision from a financial standpoint

    Finances aside, it would be the smartest decision from a not looking like a pretentious douche standpoint. The first thought anyone is going to have watching your wife trying manhandle a baby out of a Porsche is "what kind of fucking clown is this dumb bitch married to?"

    im a little peeved my car started drifting to the right.  i havent hit any major potholes or bumps at speeds, and i dont know when the steering wheel started tracking off center, but it has.

     

    took it to the dealership for alignment, and some measurements were actually out of spec (but just)... they were re-set to pretty much perfect values, but the car still pulls to the right, exactly as it came in. 

     

    theres no way they could have driven the car after the alignment and not noticed the pull.  and because the alignmens are in-spec, i have no idea what the causes could be

    Mine comes and goes as the tires wear.

    Enlighten me.  Seriously. This (baby-ville) is unchartered territory for me.  First option was a new Cayenne then I got a Panamera as a loaner and it drove much better than a Cayenne.  Seems safe and large enough but still fun for baby-mama if baby is not in the car.

    Go SUV and don’t look back. The amount of crap you haul around with the kid is unreal. Where you gonna put the stroller? Stroller and diaper bag. Oh, and when you travel, the pack and play. Also, I sat in a panamara back seat - not sure a car seat would sit in that well. Last - it’s low. It’s not super easy getting in and out or dropping a car seat in and out.

    Goofy pretty much nailed it. Honestly the bending over alone would be a nightmare. 

     

    Congrats on ye olde baby btw, welcome to the club!
