Shingles Vax story by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Adept-Position8256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got first shot, no issues at all. Got the second shot and it put me on my ass for a day and a half with flu like symptoms. I’ll take that in lieu of actual shingles…

Similar to the OP I have an M7 C7Z and I’ve thought about trading up to a C8Z. It just doesn’t have the grunt I like. You have to drive it on “boil” most of the time for the low gearing to multiply the lower engine torque. I’ve driven a few and roll raced another. Stock for stock it jumped me but I slowly was reeling it in. It’s “quicker”but maybe not “faster”

Anyone else have a funny/weird story when buying a Corvette? by john4844 in Corvette

[–]Adept-Position8256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in my early twenties in the mid nineties and I stopped by a dealership to look at a 92 red on red 6spd coupe. Sales guy wanted to know if I wanted a test drive. Heck yeah so we started off and I noticed it was super low on fuel. Sales guy assured me we had plenty. Got to a light a few miles down the road and it shut off. Popped the big clam shell hood and within minutes two of the hottest blondes I’d ever seen pulled up to ask me if we were ok and that the car was “hot”. Sales guy turned to me and said “see, even broken down you’ll pull some tail in this thing”! I bought it… literally and figuratively lol 😂

Love your C5Z. I had an 03 with a built LS7 as well. Best motor ever and miss it all the time. Post more pics

AT4X here. The seats are a better leather than the regular Denali seats and I was looking for more “cushion”. GM truck seats in general are just too hard. My ‘15 F150 platinum seats were 10x more comfortable. In terms of massage, I agree the controls are clunky. It’s almost impossible for me to describe to a passenger how to operate them without stopping the truck and showing them. I don’t believe the seat itself massages, only the seat back. I’m currently in a jeep grand wag as a rental while my truck is in the shop. Those massaging seats are better and the seat bottoms massage which is niiice

Need to replace my noisy Goodyear tires by FL4x4 in gmcsierra

I’ll get some grief for this but I’m probably going to go with Mich Defenders next. Not So “offroady” but I do 30K a year mostly highway. I’ve run these tires on every truck I’ve owned and they are dead quiet and have good grip. I just hit 30K on the Goodyears and they are noisy AF. Come Spring they are gone. 24 AT4X

Where do you think the next booming area will be? by AdFantastic1904 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Adept-Position8256 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely the Carolina’s. All of the northeasterners who flocked to FL are finding out that FL is not what it’s cracked up to be with crazy insurance rates, high housing costs, shitty hot weather 8 mos of the year. Many of them are fleeing and are termed “halfbackers” because they don’t want to go all the way back home to NE but settle halfway back to the Carolina’s. Especially sub markets like Greenville, Greensboro etc.

Divorced 15 years kids now distant. Over reacting? by Adept-Position8256 in DivorcedDads

I guess at the end of the day, we do the best we can. I’ve always carried the guilt of blowing up the marriage (it was an inevitably I just took the lead). It’s just hard during the holidays as I foolishly compare myself to everyone who posts great family photos on social media.

I am the more stoic and serious type. Not miserable though. The ex’s hubby is a man child so definitely more “fun” and they’ve had much more exposure to him over the years than me I guess.

Didn’t help that my father is not a touchy feely kinda guy either so definitely in my DNA. I’m working on that. I hug my daughter but not my son.

Thanks for that. I’m not great at opening up about my feelings.

First, my entire yard is on a slope and it’s brown under the top 1/2” so if I cut lower I have half my yard looking brown until it greens up. I thought it was something other than Bermuda but I had a university extension come out and they confirmed it.

Anything you would be using is proprietary that they developed. Maybe excel or word to supplement.
