I'm just built like a truck. I stopped lifting weights when I was ~13 when I could max out the leg press and the ab machine and do 5 sets of 10 reps on each. I could use some cardio but honestly it's not as bad you'd think.

This might seem like an excuse, but whatever. As a stoker in the Navy, working in temperatures as high as 65 deg C, there's typically two body flavors that can hack it, marthone runner types whose bodies can handle the dyhydration and guys like me that just store enough water.

The biggest problem is that guys like me aren't in vogue anymore. Skinny metrosexual type guys are. Well, that and I would look rediculous on a sport bike.

Hmm, I know we have a rep for old tech in the Canadian Forces, but stoker? Like the dude that shovels in the coal?

Heh...

Is there a reason I am watching the Best of Michael Winslow on YouTube?

No, but ITS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!

I hate to do 3 posts in a row (read: I love post count boosting) but this is very important.

HERE IS THE R34.

The S15 will come later. Once you guys stop hyperventilating.

it might be because i owned a liner, and one of my friends had an R32 with about 700whp, but i really don't like the 34s that much. they're too big. and slower than the older models iirc

My uncle owns 650~700whp R32 & I have driven that beast before... BUT I still thinks my uncle's friend's ~600whp R34 is faster... Actually, it is faster. When we did TA at Autopolis

Heh...

That's where the slang came from. Now stokers are responsible for propulsion and hotel equipment. I've personally worked on gas turbines, diesel engines, boilers, more types of pump then I care to remember, control systems, refrigeration systems, compressors, and a huge varity of valves. I changed trades a little while ago, now I'm in training to become an electronics technician
