Yes, it’s Florida.

I was in Wilmington, NC this past weekend with some friends for boating/partying/hanging out purposes. The guy we we’re down to visit suggested that we go for a surf before my flight out on Sunday, so we did. Talk about therapy! I had forgotten about how awesome you can feel after surfing. I’ve never felt so good…

Saw it last night, and it was great! I came for the cars/driving and left with the music.

I’m still scratching my head as to why I wasn’t more vigilant in my quest for a garage when I bought my first home a few years ago. I’m currently working with a one lane driveway. We are fishing for quotes to add a garage, and have the driveway widened. In that garage there will be a lift! However, the first couple of…

I told Oppo that my father was looking for a new truck. Oppos were very helpful by the way, thanks! I was trying to sway him toward a new Taco, because that is what I would want if I was in the market for a new truck. Honestly, he was pretty sold on it pending a test drive. However, a few of your comments made me re…

My father is looking to ditch his 335GT in the near future (hooray!) for a pickup. He’s been looking at F-150's because they’re “giving them away.” So he says. Whenever I hear about dealers saying oh we’ll take 8k off the sticker, it’s always a situation where it’s like “fuckin’ right you will because the “sticker”…

This was parked where an E55 wagon normally parks, at the Wegman’s close to my office. The inside was in great shape too!

Just took the Grom on a quick trip to the store and thought the chain or something sounded kind of loud particularly when coasting down a hill in gear. When I got back I took it for a quick spin down the street sans helmet, and it seems like the chain makes a lot of noise? I’m not sure as I never ride without a…

After I built the workbench I needed a place to sit. So I built a quick stool. This was my first project that required combination angle and bevel cuts, which my shitty Ryobi miter saw handled pretty well. I say pretty well because the saw is configured in such a way that when I made the first cut, it ate the plastic…

I have so much shop related stuff that I want to post about but I try not to do that on Oppo unless it’s at least semi car/truck related. Do any Oppos know of any Wood related Kinjas?

Smallbear’s post about “Same Vehicle Syndrome” got me thinking. I will let people drive my S3, and ride the Grom. Those people might even be co workers, not even close friends or family. I’m not thrilled about lending out the Ranger, but that usually works it self out because it’s a manual.

No doubt that this will go for far more than the current bid, but I MF want it! I’m usually not a fan of anything older than a BMW 2002, let alone anything this old but it’s just so damn cool.

On the way in this morning I noticed a 991 in the turning lane next to me that was getting ready to cut me off and go straight to enter the highway as soon as the light goes green. “I wonder if he knows how to use launch mode” I thought as I set the S3 up for launch. He didn’t...

Any golfers out there? I actually don’t like golf, but my father does. So I play in this tournament with him once a year. Couldn’t have asked for better weather and it beats working!

Our kitchen at work is always stocked with fancy/pretentious/healthy snacks and drinks. I work across the hall from the marketing guy, and he and I are always discussing snack/drink packaging. This afternoon we strolled in for coffee and seltzer, and noticed some new snacks!

The factory wheels on my Ranger are pretty rusty, but damn I have not been able to find one set of wheels that I like the look of. A couple have come close, but they’re only available in black and I’m not a big fan of the red/black combo. I also hate chrome. The Pacer 164's below are as close to “maybe” as I’ve come.
