The Z or the Veloster N have my name written all over it.

I've never really been that concerned with the way something looks that I sit inside If there was a performance gain, it could have a giant purple dong on the roof for all I care.

Visual representation of me sitting in Ultra's car to try out the way his clutch feels. No I couldn't see over the steering wheel either.

It's easy for him to reset his seat position. It is all the way back.

I did the same thing years ago when I sat in his car, and I'm 5'9" .

I was really bummed when I sat back in it and realized that nothing had been adjusted. We should've adjusted everything. If the steering wheel is retracted it's just like an extended stock one. I'm sorry I forgot to invite you to set everything to your liking.

I actually did move everything but the mirrors. I just put it back before I got out, it is habit for me since I usually have things adjusted to the point that others can’t even get in the car. The only thing that was a struggle was that wheel spacer. With the seat forward enough for me it was super close.

I did contemplate leaving everything set for me but didn’t want to see you struggle.

After clicking on the mouse over 5,000 times in 5hrs update the the schedule, lets see how my staff will do. Long POS story short, some staff tried to act innocent and tried to get away w some BS. Changed few things around the schedule. Now I just wait to see if they gonna cry to the boss or not. Best part is, Boss gave me the full rights on this part... so she shouldn't overwrite it.

i end up having more fun on the random side roads following some random local in a 40 year old truck held together by bailing wire with chicken coops in the back. they're just on their way to work, taking the typical way, driving at 'normal speeds' for them, and i just follow, calvin and hobbs style, driving no less than twice as fast as i'd ever dare by myself on an unknown road...

last time, it was a nissan frontier that went through 20mph s-curves at 60 like it was no big deal, followed by a ford excursion that handled hairpins at 40 like it had GM's quadrasteer.

I didn't know John Deere made home maintenance kits. Better yet, that I'm probably overdue to change the oil on my house.







It's a slow day.
