I love how you call certain J’s “good nighters” :laugh:

@Tarantula

I have a couple of strains that I keep a supply of and smoke before heading off to sleep. At my age I often wake up in the middle of the night so getting to sleep in the first place and staying asleep is a thing. I know a few people who never got into it when they were younger for whatever reason, the legality, stigma, but now they smoke a bit in their middle age, largely as a sleep aid. It works for me!

@LarryFisherman please stop me from putting a bid on this, it will be affordable for at least the next hour before it flies off into 6 figures AND IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS


EDIT: THE WIFE LIKES IT TOO DAMN IT AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
no chance i'm stopping you from that, lolz

buy that shit

every service is an engine-out but who the fk cares mate


EDIT: only thing i'd say is that those carbon ceramic brakes are probably close to 10-figures to replace, and their cycle is much the same as steel brakes. I bet with 17k miles they've never been replaced and you'd be doing it soon :).

also kind of a red flag to me is putting that thing on kuhmo tyres. like those are good tyres, but for a supercar not to be on pilot sports makes me curious if they cut corners on maintenance elsewhere.

the keys extend ALL THE WAY to the edge of the keyboard. So, how to pick it up, and move it, without activating keys? There ARE two small areas, right side, top, of th4e keyboard that are empty space, but elsewhere, no place to grab.

Now $77,777. Could I technically afford it? Yes. Should I? Absolutely f***ing not. Do I still want it? Yes. However, the head wins out over the heart this time and my bank account is safe.

Yup. Carbon ceramics are a fortune to replace. On the track they freaking destroy the cast iron equivalents but that's not enough to justify the cost unless you're a serious track guy, and I don't have the time to be that right now.

Yup. I'd put Cup 2's or something during the summer. Winter would be different because I'm the type of guy that would daily drive this beauty unless there is extraordinarily deep snow, and where I live the depth of snow is usually less of a problem than the nature of it (I'm usually near the rain/snow line and our snow is wetter than...fill in your analogy here.)

Where you at again? do they salt the roads?

We have no rust issues here in CO. I bought my 4runner from IL and there was some rust on the frame which stressed me out. I spent a bunch of money getting the underside coated and bulletproofing the f*** out of that thing. I don't know how people live in the rust belt without freaking out every winter.

Yes but it mixes with the slush and forms "CarRotBot 9000."

I live in the Boston area but am a Syracuse, NY native. In Syracuse, we got 120 inches of snow per year and it's sometimes fluffy, sometimes wet. In Boston, we get way less snow but it's usually f***ing loaded with water and heavy as shit (Northern New England gets way more fluffy snow.)

Our summers have been trending hotter and WAY drier (we had a 55-day period with no measurable rain this year, during which time we thought we had unknowingly moved to Los Angeles) and the winters generally less snowy. Spring and fall are usually damp; we have warm front rain right now so it's warm and lightly raining (i.e. when my kid demands to go outside and 1) eat raindrops falling from the sky; and 2) jump into literally every puddle in existence.)

bruh it's almost like global warming is real amirite

same story here. summers growing increasingly hotter. we had more rain this year but 2020 and 2021 had tons of fires and it was just horrible here during the height of the pandemic.

i think our days in colorado are probably numbered. I'd love to hit a joint like boston but also need to be realistic on COL. that cost is already pretty high here. we went to hawaii in august and my kiddo was obsessed with the ocean. would be nice to be closer/on the ocean honestly.

since there's no R8, just pick up one of these, save a few grand, and enjoy :)
