I've been thinking how much cooler driving would be if our roads were like those in F-Zero where they have all these futuristic flying cars that get juiced up by driving over induction zones to recharge

Aw crap. Found a pretty affordable 240z pretty close to me and it looks like it's in awesome shape. I have a good amount of money saved up and was gearing up to slam it down on a school loan, but damnit, I've noticed 240z's are pretty hard to find too... Agh.

I have discovered the secret of getting into 2nd gear

use 1 finger to shift

or the tip of your fingers

give it a shot next time

I fixed it by replacing the shift spring... 32 bucks and the sloppy feel is gone.

What if i'm macho man who drives a macho car that requires full two hands to shift and a gorilla leg to clutch in?

Hmm...

Just barely got back from the trip...

So tired... but got so much things need to finish before I can hit the bed

Got a haircut in Chicago today and it reminded me that my barber shop that I always go to is located on the same block where Transformers was shot. Great memories.

I'm not racist...but the reality of some black people can never be fully understood...now that I have your attention ill explain

I'm from Brooklyn. My dad was in the army so we moved a lot but I love city life and culture regardless of ethnicities. I see post on Facebook about black oppression then ill see white people comment "color card, we don't want you here, you don't like it then leave" and I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion but ignorance is sad, especially when some white people are brought up with that mentality instead of forming their own opinion. Conversation goes a long way... now this is why I say all of this

My dad, a SFC in the army went jogging because he had drill this weekend. Some white kid in a pick up purposely went on the shoulder and almost hit him. He had to jump in the grass or he should be dead. So when I saw this pick up I stopped traffic to confront him. Not with ignorance or a ill f you up altitude. But just letting him know be careful because you don't know who you'll get the attention of when you're doing stupid stuff. He was very understanding and we went our separate ways. To this day I'm still bothered because I wonder when will this shit stop...or Will it ever.

Meant for chat thread sorry

Anthony · 10-07-2013, 07:42 AM

Wow. He did that shit and then was understanding?

KslayFRZ · 10-07-2013, 07:45 AM

I didn't want to get to detailed but he understood without resorting to violence or threats... it's just sad I would even have to deal with ignorance like this
