    the Texas Exes and Belmont are coordinating a "Texas to the SEC" deal at 2359hrs on 30 June according to Chuck and Chris.  I remember laughing at the A&M version of this years ago when the videos were posted online.  Part of me thinks it's kinda cool but part of my thinks it's an Aggie kinda thing to do.  What do y'all think ? 

    I'd prefer not to do anything at all to mark it or celebrate it, but that's not the way these things work.  Regardless, I'm certain that ours will be a about a million times less cringey than what they did.

    Rail is great for a steady flow of traffic but it sucks for special events.  Buses are great for special events, like Texas used to do for football games.

    Yup, we take the CapMetro city bus to Q2.  Jump on at Northcross Mall and ride the couple miles north.  After the game they have a ton of buses idling, waiting to reverse the route, and we hop off back at Northcross. Super easy and requires only a fraction of the resource commitment that rail does.

    LOL. So, tl;dr ...

    Max's Day 3 long runs were more similar to Alonso's than anyone else's, and Max's and Alonso's tires were wearing very well.

    Alonso was slower than Max by less than 0.3s on average overall, and his quickest stint average (his last) was only about 0.13s slower per lap than Max's quickest one (also his last).

    this thread is a combination of "greatest", "most iconic", and "favorite" movie scenes, which is fine.  everything is subjective and there isn't a known greatest movie scene, so why not.  here are a few i enjoy, but i traditionally like talkies.

    That will always be the case on any topic that is completely subjective.  It's certainly interesting to me to see what OTHER people find "great" or iconic.  I'd say I probably agree with about 70% of the scenes posted so far, and vehemently disagree with several as well.

    Hadn't seen that PSA in a long while, brings back a lot of memories.  

    You could do also do a work-up of the kid with the box of weed and the angry dad, but replace the Dad with John Sharp and the kid with a yell leader uniform on.  

    "Who taught you how to be this stupid, huh?"  

    -You alright!  I learned it by watching you!  

     

    I remember growing up in Chicago in a relatively diverse part of town and just having it beat into our heads that marijuana would make you stupid and complacent, like it was some sort of cult.  Then I moved to Texas and met Aggies and was relieved of my childhood fears, "Oh so like, even with no drugs...there's just millions of legit morons roaming free.  cool, cool."  

    You didn't have to come to Texas for that realization.  There are millions of morons in Chicago, too.

    IMG_5828.thumb.jpeg.992984e5ab316e09937a7e710c349f6f.jpegGot the doors off just in time for this beautiful afternoon. Took me awhile (30 minutes?), but I know what I’m doing now. Still, the roof was way easier.  I think I am down to about 5-10 minutes depending on how good my helpers (kids) are. 

    Oh, one other mod we have for running doors-off, in addition to the side mirrors as you already have, is foot pegs for those bottom front door hinges.  That way you can lounge around like a real heathen with your foot hanging out the door.

    Something like this would work, but there are lots of other styles:

    Cool, you're now running "naked" as Jeepers call it.

    I've got a hoist mounted to the ceiling of the garage so the hard top goes off and on in just a few minutes.  Screwing in the 8 torx bit screws is the bulk of that time.

    You'll definitely get quicker with the doors.  Taking mine off only takes a couple of minutes now.  Putting them back on, a little more.  Of course your aluminum JL doors are definitely lighter than my steel JK doors.  I get a pretty good workout, especially with the front ones.

    Ah yes, a valve cover coming up in FP1. Riveting.

    That drain cover destroyed Sainz' Ferrari, forcing them to make repairs that resulted in grid penalties, and Toto just sat there baiting and taunting Vasseur in the ensuing press conference, smirking and saying "well, them's the rules and there's just nothing to be done about it" even though it's possible that the teams could have agreed NOT to enforce the penalty.

    I found that to be pretty dramatic.  If you don't, that's cool, and if you don't want to watch the show, that's cool.  Doesn't affect me at all.

    DTS is what got me into the sport. I now have zero desire to watch it. Seemed like the first one was great for introducing the names, teams, and the sport overall. The next ones were good for showing some behind the scenes stuff. Last season just felt like a recap of the year.

    Can't imagine there will be much that's interesting to see from the 2023 season given it was a blowout.

    Since I've always watched the F1 season long before DtS episodes were released, I've never watched them with any interest in the outcomes of the specific races or the end result of the WDC and WCC.  For me it's entirely about the soap opera, and last season there were plenty of high drama moments to be captured.  I'm especially  interested to see what behind the scenes stuff they feature for the Las Vegas race, there should be plenty to choose from.

    We rounded the corner and there it was. Behold, the Bowlus Volterra in all its polished glory beckoned us, lowly us, for a one-night stay. We politely obliged and settled in for the night, trying to act like staying in a $310,000 luxury travel trailer was normal, perfectly normal. We promptly excused ourselves to go buy some lotto tickets, promising that if we won the jackpot, the first thing we would buy was a Bowlus Volterra. We meant it.

    19 has always absolutely slayed me, especially this couplet

    I was only 19.  Finished up with high school.  Headed to a state school.  Walked right into you.

    That will always immediately take me to my first major college fling/crush.

    Same here, it's pure nostalgia.  

    All I ever wanted to do... was lie around in bed with you... I was only nineteen
