Your dog is going to get very confused when he/she looks in the mirror to see an upside down building on its head..

It's not a hat, it's a jockstrap.

Our health reimbursement benefit just got tweaked to include home office equipment. So many options! I wonder if race wheels are included...

Tried to make a bet with one of my overweight buddies at work. If he could loose more weight by percentage of total body weight in the month of April then me, I would give him $100. If he looses he has to wear a tutu from sunup to sundown for 5 days. He's 5'7 245lbs. I'm 5'3 178lbs. It would be an absolute stretch for me to loose 10 lbs in a month and he backed down.

I've seen it.

so my boss has this weird fascination with having the newest/least useful employee 'clean and organize' the work vans.

so as is expected, the newest and least useful guy has performed a spectacular job of removing half of the the tools off the truck to misplace them throughout the shop, and thrown away many parts that will be needed in the coming weeks.

he also took it upon himself to 'wash' the entire interior with pure bleach. it nearly burned my eye's just walking into the shop.

Of course my best time is in the Red Porsche. (Even better than 488GTB with the NSX coming in a close second) then again I got better and better with each new car I tried so maybe just good instructors, lol.

Ferrari 488 GTB 1min 13secs
Audi R8 1min 11secs
Acura NSX 1min 08secs
Porsche 911 GT3 1min 06secs

But that's also the order I took them out on the track in... (GTB was also yesterday) so I learned maybe some good driving tips but no idea which car is better.

Ferrari had best looking ass and overall solid feel. I think it's not even fair to compare because I was scared of the thing to be frank even though I still got up to 145 mph on their 2600ft straightaway.

Audi had the best brakes (seriously you could late brake anyone into the turn with this car I think) That N/A V10 really kicked in the fastest with the big TQs (aside from the 488 GTB) so you barely notice it was so much heavier than the other cars.

Acura was just a really well rounded and easy to drive car. Felt almost as smooth as the BRZ (but with more turbos) even though heavier overall and especially in the ass. My gripe is it pushed rather than got loose but it's also a hybrid and AWD so alot going on there and maybe could be adjusted to how you want. And the mirror WTH haha. Have always wanted to drive one though.

The Porsche felt the slowest from the inside but I was apparently killing all my past times. So easy to make do what you want. The thin steering wheel felt nice especially with the velour. It really turns nice, although it is almost as light as the BRZ just with 500hp. I guess for $150k it better be LOL.
