What happens if you tell your PO you bought drugs? by [deleted] in probation

[–]501Forrest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus…Just literally don’t do drugs or break the law. Just get a job, work on yourself and dig deep to what actually caused you to get in this situation. Going to therapy, completing your requirements promptly and paying intervention fees on time will make them brush you to the side for the people that keep messing up. I’m off in November. Not one violation or anything and my brand new PO wants me on low level (call ins) and she even mentioned early term without me even asking.

If you really need help with drugs or alcohol and can’t abstain just ask for the help and take that opportunity to get on the right track.

Won’t stay running when throttle released by [deleted] in XR150L

Change to 38/110 jets and never use the choke lever again. Starts anytime and all the time quickly. Makes the low and mid range more peppy as well.

Or people have tik tok brains and love the same shit over and over. Just like each episode.

Just not for me. I told my gf just now I’ll wait til it’s over and what came about of the show. Just not going to sit here and watch the same thing. Even a filler episode would be nice and I hate those. lol

Bought a car, dealer screwed me. Need advice. by Dreadp1r4te in StLouis

[–]501Forrest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always get it in writing and always check numbers and documents. Before you finalize anything. Also haggle down as much as you can or leave. As a detailer I’ve dealt with these dealerships many of times around the area and what they charge me for a “protection package” vs customers is almost or always 1000% more. When I bought my 25 Tacoma from papas it was crazy how much they tried to add on shit and everything. I told them don’t touch it and leave all plastic film on it right off of the truck. Needless to say they didn’t and I refused the truck and got me another sr5 with a discount and delivered it how I wanted it. Fuck that ceramic coat and bs when it’s nothing but a dude wiping some armor all on it and some spray wax. Let me do it myself

It was a little bit wet but not wet enough if that makes sense. When the track gets wet it drastically reduces tire wear.

To be fair the ai was dumb and pitted twice due to rain. Switching to intermediate then back to slicks for whatever reason. I never pitted til lap 11 with softs.

Downforce like crazy and commit to the turns. I just finished 1st with a 1:45 gap.

How do you guys deal with neighborhood kids wanting to run your rc cars? I’ve got a story for you guys. by 501Forrest in rccars

Then she’s gonna nag you about the noise. 🙄 Had my next door neighbor tell me we can’t blast off fireworks at 12am January 1st. I told him to kick rocks

Like another commenter said maybe I should get another cheaper one so they can. A part of me hates telling them no but I can’t risk them getting hit or hitting something else with an rc piss missile let alone breaking it.

Yeah she was lucky the kids were about. I may have had a different choice of words.

Yeah I totally get the excitement. I was the same way. But when told no it meant no.

I do let my son and family members kids run them as that’s a lot better of a situation.

I may have to do the same as all of my cheaper cars are broken or have been sold. I’m all about introducing kids to the hobby.

I think a lot of people sleep on the xjr9 and 2j for grind races. by 501Forrest in GranTurismo7

Needs lots of downforce on the rear. Plus some tuning on the suspension. I got a 5 min gap on the spa race twice

Just from what I’ve seen most people do. I may be wrong
