So, what is your take on events like the Isle of Man TT?

“Imagine how emotional it will be when finally people get back together again to see live music.”

Oh, yeah?

Hat’s off to you.  My dad ran a wrecker service out in our rural community and covered 6 counties in Texas.  Most of them were bad accidents because it was highway speeds and either involved DWI’s or people falling asleep on the long-ass drive through nothingness.

Often times it’s just because they can brag to their compatriots and feel important or was something that had to be experienced, “Hey I got to yell dirty words at cops and was part of something historic, yay me.”

Dude loved his Chupacabras and interdimensional traveling Wendigo lol.

Dude, can I give you an e-hug since you mentioned Art Bell? Those were some kooky friggin shows but definitely helped the graveyard shifts pass a lot easier.

So, first engine rebuild, had valve float with 105lb springs, moved up to 130s (heavy adjustable roller rockers were to blame). Those were fine with the auto but me banging gears after switching to the T-56 spelled doom for the single roller timing chain tensioner.

So, uh, if we both manage to pull that off, you wanna do a BBQ brunch and some Busch Latte’s?

Problem is, you’re really not allowed to make much of a note nowadays with production cars.  Most noise I hear from anything outside of a sportscar is tire noise.  The ones that are...enthusiastic, are also the ones that have to run extra mufflers at trackdays.

Well yeah, that’s quite the obvious.  The issue is cars just continue to get bigger.  I’ve got an E39 touring and that’s just right for size.  I sure as heck have zero interest in the newer crossovers or SUV’s.  I could barely fit the traverse from work in my garage.

They get it. Holy shit they fucking get it.

And we won’t be able to enjoy this here in the states as manufacturers foist upon us EV trucks with battery packs that weigh almost as much as my daily driver.

I was excited to see this come along after their teaser from awhile back. I’ll probably just relegate myself to the el…

Yup, we’re gonna be turned into a nice puree the moment one of these goes flying through an intersection.

So, uh, can I call in a drone strike?

Yes, yes.

Flew today, wore my mask the proper way, they were yelling at the college kids for having them down around their chins and shit. First attendant complimented me on my shirt from Moonboost.  Day made.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to get a driver’s attention at a stop-light to tell them their lights aren’t on. It’s always a newer car as well. Their daytime running lights tend to be bright enough (or the roadways) and the gauge clusters are always backlit so they have no clue the car’s regular lights…

Joke’s on them, I’m too poor to travel into their jurisdiction.

Jokes on them, I’m too poor to leave the country.

No kidding. I’ve seen quite a few people sell their $1.5M usd tiny-ass homes there and move here to Texas, buy a $300k home that’s 4 times the size and still have money to fuck around with.

I’m glad I live where the cost of living is low (for now), but I could definitely use some upward movement on the food chain.

Still more than I’ve ever paid for a car :D
