Somewhat skeptical. More marketing than science?

Well, that’s disappointing.

Recommendations for a traffic lawyer? Got a stop sign violation

[Clipdat]

I drove home from my friend's house in Lafayette last night back to Alameda around midnight and I noticed a lot of sloppy drivers on the road.

Please try to be extra attentive and aware if you are out driving this weekend, lots of idiots going to and from Christmas parties.

Pay the fine, do school to avoid insurance point, go on with life.

I'm with ya. Unless I was completely innocent, I just get on with it and just see it as the universe equalizing itself for all the other shitty things I did and got away with in the past.

Be safe with all the celebrating going on everyone. Uber/Lyft is cheap in comparison to the possible alternatives

And Merry Xmas/Happy Holidays!

Bought a 9pack for one car and turned the package to this haha. I didn’t waste the package this time lol

Who wants one? Name your genre or car type and I’ll see what I can do. I’ve made a few before for fans and friends. Sadly I can’t replicate this 86 set because some of the cars are no longer available unless on the secondary market.

In the background is a 20pack that I’m making with exotics (4 each of pagani, lambo, mclaren, porsche, and ford). I’m just searching for one more pagani before I reseal it.

Interesting. So what is the vacuum tube for?

From the FAQ section:

And this bizarre hybrid tube buffer? What’s that?
There are plenty of tube buffers out there, but ours is unique. It’s actually a hybrid push-pull tube buffer, featuring a 6H8C dual triode tube and a pair of BJTs (bipolar junction transistors), with a unique transconductance-equalizing network that pairs the tube and transistor more seamlessly, and helps cancel distortion. The result is a buffer that measures insanely well—better than some solid-state stages!

Oh? so like a turboencabulator, I see...
