As long as I never demonstrated the flame throwers, I think her life would be made much more awesome with this. Or perhaps not, she is terrified of my FIL’s Hot Wheels Edition Camaro SS (she likes the sound, but something about the interior scares her).

Also, that should have read “kids”... not 4 kids. I started with “4 year old daughter”, then started to edit it to just “kids” but then left the “4”... I have two kids. Anyone who sees this and wonders “hey, didn’t he only have 2 kids” the answer is yes, I just can’t internet very well today.

So... I’ve got to ask, did Rob (Graverobber) share this with you? I sent it to him a couple of nights back as a NPoCP idea.

I have a backlog of a LOT of beers I’ve had since the last COTD awards... LOL.

Bible Belt is simply stupidly good. But their Wine Barrel Noir is sublime. I’m a sucker for a deep stout.

Congratulations on your COTD aperson-Hates water spots! Well done!

Well Brt, we don’t roll this out for anyone but you. But instead of beer, brt always requests Tanqueray, and when you’re as celebrated a commenter as you are. You get what you want.

Yes, but I will defer to Torchinsky as the resident inventive repurposer of words for optimal usage examples. =)

I truly hope that two things come from this:

You’re damned lucky, I’m all the way down in AZ, but we’ve been getting Deschutes here since at least 2000 / ‘01-ish. Hence the reason for keeping all the good beers in the fridge. Ambient temps are far too high for leaving them out.

There is actually a complete set of Deschutes’ 2014 Reserve Series, and still most of the 2013’s too. (the door is all Firestone Walker). Most of the bottles lying down on the middle shelf are 2014 Abyss.

COTD is back? Wow.

Debated the same thing last night. May still start again tonight.

Was literally my first thought as well. Glad I'm not alone.

I have a copy of Wim Wender’s Director’s Cut of Until The End Of The World, and that, at 278 minutes (the version I have anyway, I hear that there is a 295 minute version out there as well, mine is a rip from the laserdisc), is plenty long enough. It’s a truly wonderful movie and is best done over three sittings.

As a fan of Walter Rohrl, Rod Millen, and countless others, I agree with you in spirit and principle. As someone who appreciates tech and clever engineering, I was incredibly intrigued with Sebastian Loeb’s Peugeot that destroyed the old Pike’s Peak records (paved*).

My bad, that was a misstatement on my part. I’ve always been under the impression that rear engine is that either the center of gravity of the engine, or the engine location period, is located behind the axle, whereas mid is directly over, or inboard from the axle.

If the correct location is roughly on top of the rear axle, rather than inboard from it, why does almost every race car in the world have the engine inboard? I’m not following how this is superior for performance when the mid-rear still maintains a rear bias for weight transfer and applied power but maintains a more…

There has been a losing battle with regard to allowing technology to assist / takeover skills which used to be honed over a lifetime. I won’t even pretend that you are incorrect there. But I mean gear preselect systems have been in place for decades and other technologies are there, and as long as everyone is on a…
