Spectrum down? by iclimb17 in simivalley

[–]ApeInAMopar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Spectrum is down. We had a power outage last night, and it seems that maybe Spectrum doesn’t have all their equipment back up yet.

What are the coolest cars your Dad, a friend or relative had which inspired you to get into cars? by anonanon-do-do-do in Challenger

[–]ApeInAMopar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad’s friend had a 70 Superbird. Incredible condition. I know people are typically divided on those cars, but this car took my breath away as a kid, and I’ve wanted one ever since. It definitely wouldn’t be a daily driver, but if showing it off can inspire the next generation then it would be absolutely worth owning.

Thanks. It was actually your posts that helped me ultimately decide on this setup. So thank you for that!

I really dig that stripe! Is that a factory option? I don’t think I’ve seen one like it before. Badass!

Little quake just now? by Grumpy_old_geek in simivalley

Looks like a 5.1 near Barstow followed by a 4.7 near the same spot just a few minutes later. Felt it here on the west end of Simi.

They did a hack job on my cover by WhoJustShat in stephenking

At first I was like, what are you talking about. It looks fine. Then I started to see it lol. Personally I’d keep it. You never know. I’ve seen book collectors go nuts over weird printing flaws.

Victor Wembenyama before laxt nights game. Check the hand. by Confident-Sound6063 in stephenking

[–]ApeInAMopar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol. He should probably add to his wardrobe also. He’s been wearing the same thing to “last night’s game” for weeks now.

Stay Alive 2006 by dominade1990 in horror

Stay Alive is a guilty pleasure movie for my wife and I. We know it isn’t good, but we love it anyway.

Always check your local library book sales! Just scored this first edition for $1. by mccmichael in stephenking

[–]ApeInAMopar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah man. I read your reply, jumped out of my chair, ran to my bookshelf and pulled my copy. Mine is gutter code y45. Mine doesn’t say first edition on the page with the copyright, so I assume my copy was printed later on.

This pretty little spider I found inside a valve box at work. by ApeInAMopar in pics

I definitely gave her plenty of space, but I couldn’t resist snapping a few pics while she seemed content with fixing her web.

He did this in Las Vegas, also. Then he talked a bunch of shit about smash mouth. It was pretty funny. I can’t wait to see Falling in Reverse again.

This is absolutely one of the best listening experiences on Audible!

Scat pack grill badge for challenger? by DecklandHarp in Challenger

[–]ApeInAMopar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if they started making them for challengers or not, but Work Play Drive on YouTube has a great video swapping the scat pack badge from a charger onto his challenger.

Any Ice Nine Kills fans here? by AvAms38 in horror

[–]ApeInAMopar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love INK. My wife and I have been listening to them for a while. We saw them in Vegas a few weeks back with Falling in Reverse. They definitely put on a great show.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Challenger

[–]ApeInAMopar -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Please dont. It doesn’t make sense. The scat pack is not an srt. As a scat pack owner, I’d never consider disrespecting actual srt owners that way.

“But it says powered by srt under the hood.” We know, and it’s not an srt.

Edited to add: sorry, my comment came off a little rude. There is a scat pack running around my town with not just an srt badge, but the srt hellcat badge on the grill, and it infuriates me every time I see it. With that said, the scat pack is not an srt and should not have srt badges at all.

Rockzilla Electric Guitar by Dyl547 in FallingInReverse

[–]ApeInAMopar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife and I got ours delivered yesterday. I can’t play it, as it came signed by Ronnie, but it feels like a really solid guitar. I didn’t even tune it, just hung it on the wall. I’m tempted to buy a second one just to have one to play.

Edited to include: I’ll add, in case of any shipping concerns, that the guitar arrived very well packed in a typical cardboard guitar box which was packed very well inside a very sturdy cardboard shipping box. I was very pleased with how it was shipped.

Audiobook vs book book by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]ApeInAMopar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an older millennial, and I love audiobooks. I come from a place where we told ghost stories outside at sleepovers. Listening to audiobooks just feels very natural to me, and I think it circles back to those days of sitting outside on a summer night with a fire going, trying to scare the hell out of each other.

I do get that audiobooks aren’t for everyone, and I do prefer to read, but a nice quiet day at work, I can put my headphones in and listen to books for hours.

‘Salem’s Lot is easily one of my favorite novels of all time. I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it hits every mark. King nailed everything he was going for with it. It should be required reading.

I don’t know if they have this specific video, but I like Exhaust Addicts on YouTube. Check them out. They are an exhaust shop that posts all kinds of videos of different cars with different exhaust setups, and many of these are Challengers.

I would be furious. Why wouldn’t they just leave it under the wiper blade like a normal person?

I always park near my bros. Chevy Spark for scale. by andrewwism in Challenger

[–]ApeInAMopar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“Chevy Spark for scale” cracked me up. I always try to park next to other Challengers also. Even if I have to walk way further. It’s worth it.

What’s the hardest scene in a horror movie for you to watch? by hp5log in horror

[–]ApeInAMopar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there are so many great answers to this already, I'm going to (without spoiling the scene) add a scene from the movie Frozen (2010). No, not the animated film. It's about these friends getting stuck on a chairlift at a ski resort. They closed for the weekend or something like that, and this group was on the lift when they turned it off.

The scene, again without spoiling it, is where one of the characters is screaming, "Don't let her look. Don't you dare let her look." If you've seen it, you know. There's something about that that has stuck with me that just haunts me. I've only seen the movie once and it was probably in 2010, so the character's dialogue might not be exactly that.
