I’m sure you’ve got plenty to back that up. Like your gut, and your ass.

“hurp a durp but I could do this or that for way less.”

Make sure you have set aside a little money (~$400/month or so) for a rental car and you’ll be all set.

You’re right about the “ratty part of Ft. Lauderdale.” I bought a BMW 540i from there once because the price was right. It ran great the whole way home. Second time I drove it, it started overheating quickly.

baseball playoffs series are of the 2-3-2 format

So the opposite of San Francisco having four relievers all equally capable of giving up game ending home runs, but equally adept at giving enough singles to crater a 4-run lead.

Exactly. In this case “seems” means “I don’t have anything to prove it, and you can’t check, so good luck.”

I actually swapped motorcycles with a total stranger on CL (my 1988 Honda Hawk GT for his 1987 Suzuki GSX-R 1100) and then a year later swapped back, despite me having seriously modified the GSX-R (and fixing a stripped spark plug hole).

Yeah it’s kinda rare that a pass that involves your car briefly aiming the direction you came from turns out so well, but you’ve gotta admire the balls.

My counter:

I want you to read that sentence again and tell me what you did wrong.

Well cheese ‘n crackers I totally forgot to be happy the Giants won all those World Series.

Now that you bring it up, it probably is.

That’s classic Dusty Baker though. For a brief moment in this round I confronted the optimistic scenario where the Giants would get to face the Nationals in the NLCS, being able to get direct revenge on Baker for him losing the 2002 series with his horrible decision making with pitchers. Giants were 3 outs away from…

They powered most of the dash functions with them in E30s. Pull the dash off and there are 2 batteries soldered into the back of the circuit board. Some got AA looking NiCds, some got smaller lithiums.

Yep, just take my mon...oh I don’t have enough. Well shit.

Maintebance issues? There won’t be any Maintebance. It’s an LS3 with a bomb-proof set of gears behind it in an E30. These cars are dead simple. The only issue I could think of is having to replace the ridiculous batteries in the dashboard, plus the requisite control arms every 2-3 years.

So you’re balking at the story?

Yeah that’s fun in real life, but any other situation an actual balk is just confusing, because you have to figure out what the hell just happened.

And the $5 Autozone special exhaust pipes finish it off nicely.
