  1. Saving while you have breakfast or lunch is ok. But, those fuckers that walk down there at 5 in the morning to put a towel or book down and then go back to their room until late morning or early afternoon can fuck off. One of many reasons I don’t do resort pools either.
  2. Haven’t seen that. Pretty cool. All in this wasn’t that bad. It was $900 including all the electronics and a set of aluminum wheels. I think back in the 80’s it would have been about 600 or 700.
  3. This is where my love of cars started when I was about 10 or 11. Found some dude willing to sell this one for some shelf art for my office. Super excited.
  4. 100%. A good buddy owns mechanic shops for high end cars. Little man is absolutely sweeping those floors starting around 13.
  5. Pretty broad question. But, what’s a good way to learn how to fish lake LBJ. my best guess is hire a guide a few times and take it from there but anyone know of other resources/forums/websites? Some background, I grew up fishing Galveston bay so familiar with fishing. Buy, have never fished fresh water so I don’t know the first thing about it.
  6. Worked construction on the weekends and summers in high school and freshman year of college in Houston mainly doing renovations. there are three days that still stick out. first is I spent an entire day hand scraping glue off a kitchen floor. second was at the San Luis in Galveston. We had molding that wouldn’t fit in the elevator. So I spent the day going up and down a spiral staircase while holding the molding in the center of the spiral staircase. last was an entire day digging a trench in a backyard in the summer. Good part is that shit made college much more appealing. Fun fact, the guy I worked for doing construction, who is now a really good friend of mine, is renovating my house.

    Getting old sucks

    Had my first colonoscopy (and first time under any form of anesthesia) yesterday. This getting old stuff sucks. Good news is I did some blood test for it a couple months ago and failed it so was super freaked out. Turns out I don’t have the cancer but there were a couple polyps they removed and I get to do it all again next year. Yea! Turns out everyone is right though, I am full of shit. Morning before I weighed 205, day of 195.
  8. Nitto recon grappler 35/12.50/22. Drove one here with this exact set up and liked it. They did have to shave the liner and front a bit but I am ok with that.
  9. They put the wrong size tires and wheels on it so they are re-ordering but here she is. Will be on the truck to Austin Tuesday
  10. Hah. Definitely won’t be doing that. Original plan was to supercharge the 6.2 but I just want a diesel. I will program the diesel when I figure out which one is best. I really wish I didn’t like cars as much as I do. But, there are worse things…wait, I like the worse things too. Shit.
  11. Duh, but got them in brass.
  12. Kid is getting older and keep needing a truck so went full on mid-life crisis stupid and bought a new Denali Ultimate 1500 diesel. Did the 1500 for ride quality and diesel just because I like it. The most it will ever tow is a 24’ boat about 5 miles. It’s getting a 6” lift now and a bed cover just to complete my display of immaturity and stupidity (insert penis size jokes) Serious question, anything else it should have while it is in the shop? I don’t really want to replace the bumpers or have a light bar on top of it and don’t want to void the warranty.
  13. I think I’m out. I know me and I already know how this is gonna unfold and don’t feel like messing with that right now. If the right one came along that was in excellent shape and low miles, i’d still jump on that.
  14. You are about as helpful as anyone I know. Lol.
  15. Called/FaceTimed the seller today. They seemed pretty open and honest. The driver front quarter does appear to have had some work so the whole car will need re-sprayed. The interior and the rest of the body, including the frame, looked great. Spectacular for the miles. Took a video of start up and sounded normal. Getting an idea of what re-spraying it will cost and will take it from there. thanks for the input so far.
  16. Interior and body look great. At least from the pics. Going to call the sales guy today and FaceTime with him to check out the car. Haven’t heard too many reasons not to go through with it but the mileage scares me a bit. Ideally would like to find it with as few of miles as possible. Ding, ding, ding. But, has to be the pearl white. No can do on the stick. It’s for the wife. I give up trying to teach her how to drive a manual. Insert a million jokes here.
  17. I may have mentioned this before but for nostalgic reasons, I have been looking for a 95 ish 300zx twin turbo. But, it has to be an automatic and has to be a certain color. After years of looking I found one that is completely stock which is rare. But, it has 116k miles. 2 owner car with the current one having owned it since 1993. I don’t have any experience with older Japanese cars. Is this a major headache in the making, fafo, worst idea ever, not a terrible idea, something else?
  18. That thing is gorgeous. Congrats!
  19. Mine is a year-ish old with 100 hours now. Just had it serviced after I took it out last week. Had the marina pull it down yesterday for when I got there today and they said it overheated from the slip to the marina. Called the guy to fix it and and apparently the impeller was ripped to pieces. He fixed it. I took it back out (after my brothers overheated) and apparently not all the pieces came out so it was still clogged. He’s going to back flush it now. for my brothers, LBJ is pretty dirty right now and looks likes his got something in the skim bucket (not sure what you call that thing). He’s is better now. I caught both right before the alarm went off at 205 and shut them down. fun times.
  20. Mine got a new impeller and “fixed” while I was breaking my brothers. My current situation in my boat. I’m going home now.
  21. My boat overheated. Stole my brothers, it overheated. Current situation. Boats are cool.
  22. That’s where I am a bit of a hypocrite. He can do whatever he wants to a Tesla and I don’t care. Got rid of the 991. Still have the 992.
  23. I am not on a jet to Vegas with 20 hot young sluts doing blow. Unfortunately.
  24. I know cars don’t have feelings. But, I have that car and can’t imagine someone doing what he has done to it. It’s disrespectful to anyone that had anything to do with its creation. He probably beats dogs too.
  25. Tough one to say good bye too. What's replacing it?
