I hope your D&D crew has like jdm air fresheners or something so they can appreciate the inclusion of wizards unleashing is300 shift knobs.

First interview I got they tried to bait and switch the position, title, department, and pay grade (all downgrades from their ad). Politely declined as I laughed my way out the door. Turned on my car and got a call to interview for the company where I am now working.


In other news, the BRZ I'm purchasing comes generically modified and I'm looking forward to reverting it to stock... am I doing this right?

It currently has full exhaust + OFT tune, coilovers, and a few other bits that are all coming off. Game plan in my head is for stock suspension, stock exhaust other than catback, camber bolts, and a shift knob (oh and $70,000 in engine work to make it some insane do-it-all NA FA20 thing ).

He was being facetious.

it's so hard to know who's being facetious and who's being serious...

Plan on keeping and building the engine. Then when the time comes EV swapping it with 4 wd motors. Want it to be super luxurious and nice while keeping oem as possible. Then body will be made out of complete carbon fiber. Then I’ll slowly move the interior to white carbon fiber. Don’t want to spend 100k on a car already built would rather spend 40k on something I did without touching the motor. Then plan on spending 60k on the motor. Excluding the ev swap.

I just realized that your image is a crop of one from OP of this thread.

Might get crazy and purchase the rite of passage for a 3rd owner '13 twin... /s

Brilliant, I did chuckle when I noticed it was a twin. It wasn't intentional, just searched Google Images and picked off the first row

His posts are brain breakingly stupid. He has to be trolling.

Is it impressive or sad that we remember these things?

I sometimes wonder if it isn't just Squady back again.

Went down a rabbit hole and am thinking about changing my car's setup again. Anyone want a good deal on a GTC-200?

Had a random weird day yesterday. Was walking the dog in my apartment complex with another neighbor and their dog, and then we ran into a guy walking his dog. So our friend asks the dude for their names and stuff, he says they just moved in with his wife. Then he tells us he's originally from X town. So I say "hey wait a sec, same here. I went to Y high school." Then he says he went there too, class of 08 (I was class of 11) so apparently we may have crossed paths. He said I looked a little familiar but tbh I didn't recognize him at all.

Then in the afternoon I was walking Haru again and ran into the dudes wife walking their dog again. I realized holy shit she was also in my graduating class. We never had classes together but I knew a lot of her friends and I remember since she was a lifeguard after school at our pool she was there sometimes when I lap swimmed lol.

She didn't recognize me at all tho and I acted like I had no idea who she was.

This'll be interesting. Never thought I'd be neighbors with people from high school in another city.
