It's amazing how in even the most intimate of moments people can't exist in themselves, but continually allow the world around them to define their actions and their thoughts (what I really mean is their self, if you can get what I mean). In other words, your roommate is much more pathetic than the girl, in every way.
Well, there go my dreams. Once I have a car and disposable income I think it'd be pretty cool to get involved in small-time motor racing but I doubt I'd ever be able to so much as afford a Porsche, let alone to modify one to racing specs and all the other costs. Maybe something more like parking lot slalom racing or something like Group N rally racing with relatively unmodified cars. I also should have stayed on with the SAE team long enough for them to let me drive the car.
If somebody could please send a Rosetta Stone my way would be great. So, you like weirdos in black turtlenecks. You really ARE a hipster groupie. Feh.
So I was perusing the interwebs...and...uhhh...I will let you decide. Is that racist? Heres the link to the others... http://therealbenhopper.com/blog/tag/naked-girls-with-masks/
It's a beautiful 60 degrees outside. Since every female dog within a three mile radius is in heat and my little dog wants to hump them all, I've had to close the doggy door and walk him on a leash. I feel sorry for him... he's getting neutered on Wednesday and he has no idea.
12 hours into the race, our transmission blew up. Don't know if it was driver error or mechanical failure, but it knocked us out of the race. We didn't have an extra $60k transmission lying around to swap in, which would have been a 2 hour job. We're sad. I'm going drinking.
That sucks. But if there is one lesson to be learned from this drunk thread this weekend, it is to always have a backup 60K transmission lying around for a rainy day. I told one of the doctors I would take call for them a couple of hours today with the understanding that if anything "surgical" came in the other doctor would be backup. So, about 13 minutes into my call, a potential surgical call came in. The other doctor, I called, phone straight to voicemail and I can pretty much guarantee he forgot about the whole back up thing. Perfect. That's it, I'm going drinking.
Don't count it out too soon. My car is a 1979. You can buy something similar, in race ready condition, for about $25k these days. The economy has done wonders for the number of race cars for sale. I've had some "extra" shit done, sure, (2 custom gear boxes, spare engine, race engine rebuild, etc), but really, as long as you stay a bit old-school, the cars are pretty affordable. And learn to do your own work. And don't fuck up. Porsche spare parts might cost more than a Honda, or Miata, but there is NOTHING that compares to racing a Porsche. Now, professional racing, like what we do at the 24 hrs of Daytona, is a whole other fucking thing. The car alone was $250k. 3 crate engines, sealed, from Porsche, at $65k per engine. Transmission rebuild alone is $45k (it's a 6-speed sequential). Never mind hauling the shit to each race and dealing with race fees, testing, crew logistics, tools, equipment, etc. There's an old saying... how do you make a small fortune in racing? Start with a big one. The team owner of my team has been a driver for years. He was lead instructor for the BMW Driving Experience in the 80's and 90's. He's got the racing disease. He developed a jig to make circular stairways, patented it, and sold it to some big company. That's how he got his cash initially. It's a passion and sickness with him, that's how and why he does it. I'm just glad to be along for the ride and help out when and how I can.
I just reconnected with a fuck buddy from way back. I'm super excited... until he tells me he got married last year. I don't give a shit if he does have permission, sleeping with another woman's husband isn't my thing. Goddammit.
He may have an 18 inch waist accentuated by the wide belt that he is sporting, but dude's packin' look at that bulge! If he played for my team, I'd do him. (kidding)
Any gay thoughts that evver existed amongst any male member of this board has just been terminated for an eternity. Who actually would want to be seen in public with these schmucks? There is a small percentage of men that can have just a moustache adn get away with it. They are: Burt Reynolds Rollie Fingers Tom Selleck Any 70's or 80's porn star NOBODY FUCKING ELSE Did you get that? Moustaches are for child molesters, Village People and Highway patrolmen. Anybody else gets an empty thrown at their head.
I was making the point that turtlenecks are no where near as bad as that insult to humanity, aka the hipster. Jennitalia loves her some hipster cock.
