jk, no vandalism to cars...

Meanwhile, my sleep schedule is messed up again due to fun weekend. The people who sat with me said I'm getting really good and learning fast for someone who essentially started auto-x a couple of months ago.

I can't believe I never realized this until a national champion (who also drives an FRS) told me that due to our car's lack of low end torque, I have to take advantage of every straight and keep the throttle floored. Miss one and it's over. Basically, got to drive near perfect and as aggressive as possible, to get good times. Still working on the aggressive part...

This car is so damn fun, but makes you work really hard for better times.. My times below haha

Honestly could be worse.. getting used to this though and its helping me towards my dream job. So i have that going for me.

Doesn't help that they are also very intelligent, and breed, well, like pigs. They pretty much eat, sleep, and procreate. A sow can get pregnant at 6 months and have two litters a year of up to 8 babies each time.
That is more or less what happened with my experience with them.
A farmer on the other side of about a 200 acre bush opened his barn door and walked away from his farm. The authorities managed to round up about 60 hogs but they figured 3 or 4 made it into the bush. For about two years there would be the occasional sighting but not a whole lot of contact. Then one year when I was about 8 or 9 we found two young ones in or garden. My dad was overjoyed at the thought of free pork and shot them both and we butchered them and threw them in the freezer. Over the next two weeks or so more and more kept coming out including some massive adult boars. They did not look a thing like the cute little pink things people think of as pigs. They were huge, tusked and mean as hell. I bet between my dad and I we shot 12 or more (I don't remember the exact number) and every neighbour and friend had a freezer full of pork and our smoke house ran 24 hours a day for about two weeks. Eventually the city organized a hunt and went in and wiped them all out. Apparently there were hundreds of them and since they had cleaned out any edibles in the bush they were spreading out. Was pretty nasty for a bit.

Oh and they totally are "boars" if they are males. They do not become warthogs which is a different breed.

Correct, I was thinking more of the breed referred to as Wild Boars (not implying sex but genetics).

Domesticated feral pigs and wild boars mate, which further confuses the issue.

I don't either. One reason why I bought a dash cam is because of the stories out there of jaywalkers not giving a fuck about cars coming down the road and expecting people to slam on their brakes and hope the car stops in less than a second.
I have to drive on a road(memorial drive downtown atlanta) to get home most days and I have witnessed people walking right out in front of cars doing 50+ and come within inches of being a spot on the road. Not just once but probably three times in the last few months. Cars noses diving screeching tires and the seemingly suicidal pedestrian not running out showing any sense of urgency.
It is mind blowing.

They want to be hit so they can sue you/insurance and live off that for a while. Some people do this "professionaly" and never work at all

If there's no body then there's no one to sue you. Just saying.

We had this conversation about 2 or 3 months ago in the old Random Thread but the "no body no crime" thing was all about YOU!
Somebody pointed out that the last anybody had ever heard from you was when I said I would see you tomorrow. It didn't help when I tried to sell ichi grey BRZ parts that had to be picked up in a back alley in Vegas.

Only reliable way I've found is to unplug(not just turn off) my boombox and request the connection on my phone right away. Any ideas why it's like this and how to get normal functionality back?
How old is the boombox? I have a couple guesses.

1. Internal memory battery is dead.
2. Firmware (factory) reset will fix it.
