I still didn't have a cell phone in 8th grade, actually, but most people did (I think where I live had something to do with that).

The dates are guidelines not absolutes. Plus many professionals dump everything past Gen X into one generation.

The worst ones I've experience are in the Bay Area. It's like one of those where you can enter and exit the highway on the same ramp. For lack of a better description -- likes this |O

I remember playing Starcraft or diablo 2 on dialup internet or recording shows on VHS. Man times have change in the last 15 or so years. And I'm still in my early 20's.

Buying back? Or different one?

Different one, LHD. 7M with upgraded turbo. Fuel pump and tune should be close to 400whp.

More of a GT-style than the JDM one. Has working AC, ABS. I think original 8-way power seats, too.

I'm going to wait on the BRZ until I get full certification for my new position at work. Should be 2 years...


Supra will give me my weekend RWD fix until then. Hopefully pics on Saturday if our schedules work out.

Typical Tuesday night. Best way to unwind after a long day.

Argh, don't want to cook or else I will surely overeat, so instead I'm scooping copious amounts of peanut butter out of the jar and eating that instead >_<

Need more discipline.

Got a call from my friend saying, his friend that bought MR-S has wrecked it. He tried the Ini-D jump (read 86 vs MR2 battle in irohazaka) at local small canyon & instead he took shorter way down... Roll down the canyon.

From the sound of it, he didn't have any broken bones. Just few scratches... also sounds like he'll get fined & lincense will be temp taking away.

He should be glad he's not dead...

I have to go throw up now...

Y'all need to come down to Texas! My dad just bought a 192 Acre farm with a decently sized ranch house on it for less than 400k IIRC... Land is pretty crazy cheap here!!



Back in Illinois however, the low tonight is 39F... IN SEPTEMBER? WTF?

I don't ever think I will adapt to this cold weather.... I'm a Texas boy at heart...

Well, good to know my car can survive that...

I never personally owned an 8-track but when I was a wee little lad......my Dad had one in his rodded out......57 Belair that he used to listen to mostly Hank Williams and Johnny.......Cash. It was the coolest thing ever at the time although you would have.....thought they could have figured out the spacing a.....little bit better somehow.

(Anybody that ever had or listened to one will immediately know what the ...... in mid sentence means. Everyone else, you don't know what you are missing)

I'm getting a red x. But the best way to unwind any day of the week is a blowjob.

Needed some earbuds, so I started looking around an I was severely unimpressed. My budget was about $30, and I needed a mic on it...

After looking at a bunch of them, there just weren't any decent ones in my price range...

Then, I went to Apple's website and looked at their new EarPods. $29, Mic, apparently redesigned over their crappy earbuds of before. I said screw it and ordered them.

I'm pleasantly surprised at this point. I listen to a lot of Hip Hop and these fit the bill pretty well... Strongish Bass, Decent Mids and Highs...

Who would have though Apple would have provided the good economical option?

I'll have to look in these if I don't pick up the new iPhone. Thanks!
