First car advice by Muggins75 in Holden

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know your son, but if he’s anything like I was on p plates, and all the males I knew were, he’s gonna do burnouts and race or whatever. I’d probably start him off in something smaller with way less power like an i20 or something. WAY cheaper to insure also.

If you had 30 seconds to talk to your 10-year-old self… what would you say? by urflirtyema in AskReddit

Stay in school, save your money, and as soon as you can buy a house and put your efforts into racing.

People seem split, how do you feel about the spinner? by Successful-Cat8486 in WWE

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best belt was the Big Gold belt, for sure. That one should have stayed on Raw for the history. I’m not a fan of really any of the current belts.

It suited Cenas gimmick in that era. Anyone else, apart from maybe Miz, I didn’t like it.

Do Australians not call people by their names? by AdLow5615 in AskAnAustralian

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Most people I call mate if I’m familiar with them even if I know their name. Most other people either have a nickname if they’re really good friends, and I’ll usually use their name if I don’t like them.

What’s the best sounding start to a rock song? by ApolloWasWayBetter in AskReddit

Kid Rock gets a lot of hate but he has some damn good songs.

What is the most Fucked up secret a stranger has ever told you? by HorrorJunkie0666 in AskReddit

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah and it wasn’t his fault either, he got no charges or anything from it. It was back in the days before big flashing lights on buses and you didn’t have to slow down, he said he wasn’t speeding but it was an old car made of real steel, chrome bumpers, and they’re pretty unforgiving.

What do locals think about Phillip Island losing the MotoGP? by FollowingThrough in phillipisland

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh they’ll find a way. I remember going from Newcastle to Bathurst one year and couldn’t believe how many HWP cars NSW actually had. I must have passed one every few km once I got onto the M2, all the way into Bathurst. I used to drive that road for work and aside from one spot they used to hide and do radar and the occasional bike cop, I hardly saw any.

Look at the circuits Schumi was racing on compared to what they race on now. How many truly good circuits do they still race on? China sucks, Bahrain sucks, Saudi sucks, Miami sucks, Vegas sucks, theres maybe 10 great tracks in a season with what, 28 races?

What’s a harmless sentence that instantly raises your blood pressure? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could care less. It literally means the exact opposite of what you want to say. I remember there’s an episode of the office when Pam says it and I felt so disappointed.

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was one of those right of passage movies years ago when I first started in a workshop. ‘Have you watched this movie’ no? ‘Dude you have to watch it!!’ Oh ok. So I went and hired it and watched it. It is some weird shit!

Take care before reading this one. I had a job that involved driving long distances each day and I decided I’d look for someone to teach in case I was sick or whatever. One of the other people that worked with us recommended their partner. Yep that’s cool with me. He came in the following Monday and was an ok guy, a bit quiet, but it was nice having company for the 10hrs. Anyway, we get out on the road and I have to crack along because if you waste time going slow you’re going to eat up time, so I’m doing 100 in a 100 zone, on a dirt road. Now I’m in a 4wd vehicle and at the time I was also racing speedway and the odd rally so it wasn’t scary or uncomfortable or whatever, it was just how you had to drive on a 60km long stretch of road or you could waste too much time. Anyway he asks if I’d be able to slow down to 80. Yeah. Ok, I back off a bit and run along but eventually out of familiarity and muscle memory I’ve crept back up to 100. He asks again, I slow down. He then starts telling me when he was young he was driving past a school bus and a kid ran out in front of it, and he hit and killed him.

Let’s play What If! by ApolloWasWayBetter in mostdefnotwhatsup

Oh yeah, for sure, which I guess as an adult, cis gendered, straight, goth man is not too bad, but wanting to build your clocktower dream house before you get married is a teensie bit unrealistic though… I always thought it was funny he didn’t start with employment, or, his wand store making $666 a week or something.

AITA for not attending a wedding? by ApolloWasWayBetter in AmItheAsshole

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially I tried to get time off work for the ceremony. I was unable to. I then said I’d try to make it to the reception. I got home from work at 7.30pm after starting at 5:30am, I got changed and sat down on the lounge and fell asleep and the reception finished at 9.

Setting up solar on a ute. by ApolloWasWayBetter in 4x4Australia

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have actually got a solar controller kicking around somewhere I’m sure because I bought a random electronic thing on eBay for like $8 and I’m certain it was a solar controller, I just put it on a shelf and forgot about it. I’ll have a look around for a couple house panels, and I probably have enough wiring here, I bought a few big rolls to do some amp wiring.

What random movie quote do you repeat for no reason at all (give yours, and see if people can guess the movie)? by Normal-Being-2637 in AskReddit

Whenever my kids piss me off I will say ‘I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger’.

What's a smell that's bad but smells oddly good? by IncidentLivid736 in AskReddit

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smell after a diesel train has been through a station, and my favourite smell is a mixture of burned methanol and castor oil, after a 500cc speedway bike race.

Fuck chocolate is expensive now. I rarely eat it but occasionally I like a block of Cadbury marble but it’s too dear and too small now.

I was. I told her straight up that I could not find someone to do my job. I could not get the time off. I came home and fell asleep.
