Better with the sound off though.

Very cool. The music is a bit dorky. Best word I've got to describe it but really interesting nonetheless

Love this...... Could be a great captioning contest....

I needed that today.

I always laugh out loud at that

Really fun show with Dougie Fresh opening. If you're going to google Dougie Fresh right now, you probably shouldn't be reading this, you smell of Gouda, and your parents are ashamed of you.

I wonder how many Google this and now know what their parents think of them. SIX MINUTES, SIX MINUTES, SIX MINUTES...

I was THIS close to ordering a $467.61 box of purple and yellow Powerflex goodness (that's a whole sets worth of bushings) and then I realized I don't have the tools, time, space, or knowledge so I didn't

So when I was a kid my Mom painted as a hobby but then life and her career took over and she stopped. Now that she’s retired, she decided to take it back up a few years ago. Today was the first day of her one person art show that runs for a month and I went to the reception because I’m a good son. I like her work but I know I’m biased because she’s my Mom and my take was always pretty much, “well that’s nice she has a little hobby and she’s not just sitting around watching Matlock reruns in her retirement”. I got to the reception about an hour after it started and she already had sold two paintings. One for $450.00 and one for $500.00.
Yet more evidence that I may have been adopted because I have NO talent whatsoever.

Obligatory "this thread is worthless with out pics", I know it's can be disrespectful to publicize privately owned art but what the hey. I bet your Mom feels pretty cool today, I've tried to sell a couple "handmade" things before and didn't get quite the reception..

That's very cool. Especially with the working gearbox and moving pistons. One thing I don't understand is why it looks so disassembled and how they can be happy comparing that to the very slick and sleek body of the real gt3. I once built a Ferrari Enzo out of legos that looked exactly like the real car but this just doesn't

What the heck are you supposed to do with these things?

You are supposed to wash your ass in them.

Or that, I suppose. Yeah, that's probably the better use.

[oldskool]

We had one at the last house. When I spent more time showing it to people than using it, I knew I was a Hillbilly.

Dave's got to be wearing the right hat to ask that question.

That's not a knife.

Genius. Thanks!

I FOUND 15W-50 AT WALMART THANK JESUS

Sounds like you bought Mobil1 synthetic. Really insufficient ZDDP levels for these cars.

[EventuallyAyrton]

Would Rotella 15W-40 be a better option? I would totally do it, I'm just worried about my cat. converter and diesel oil

Come on man. ZDDP is bologna, especially for a high mileage stock engine. Maybe if you have a soft cam/high pressure rockers, otherwise nah.

I did some looking into it and Mobil1 15W-50 has a 1200 ZDDP rating according to a number of different forums oil analysis's/analysies (?) (not sure how credible they are). Mobil has also stated that themselves but I am having trouble finding record of them saying that

Caps win! Caps win! Caps win!!

[86GT635]

There's a couple of us on this forum that will admit to running castrol for several hundred thousands of miles without any valvetrain/bearing wear. ZDDP doesn't mean squat to those guys.

I understand why guys run "race" oil but I don't see the benefit when the evidence of real life day in/out usage of castrol oil shows it works perfectly fine.

We all worry too much about oil

This is quite an interesting video

Me thinks your right. Especially on M30s. How many have really had a premature death due to the cheapo 10-30 that comes out of the gun standard at your quickie oil change place? I can appreciate doing it right, and try to, but...

Yes. I do. We do. Although I've decided on my long term plan now and don't care much anymore. I have certainty now, which I didn't have before.

What's your long term plan?

I just drove my step mothers 2010 Chevy Equinox and that was one of the most unpleasant driving experiences I've ever had
