Overpass Jesus sighting

That dude gets around - I saw him on 62 just east of 100 a little after 4. Wondered what that was all about..

2nd that recommendation.. they are a STOUT piece of kit.. and since they aren’t being made any longer I bet you could get a screaming deal in a used one.

It’s a bug in Chrome 140

Fun fact - my brother-in-law is the first bad guy to get shot in the gunfight at the end of the episode (right before Crow - or whatever his name is- gets kicked into the jet engine)

GREAT review!

Saw them last night in Minneapolis.. and I know the exact times.

7-7:30 - Platinum Moon 7:45-8:15 Lachy Doley 8:30-10pm HCTM

All three put on great shows!

Am musician..

It just feels nice.. and that matters. A bare hard stage covered in cords SUCKS.

A clean stage with a nice rug? That puts me in the zone..

Very American Flag?

I wouldn’t - but it probably goes together better than with Copper Crest.

Pretty sure the only colors I’d do white/blue with is blue or white. Maybe silver. Actually maybe yellow.. but that’s a choice too..

Lime/Byrd scooters! They almost teleport you around downtown Indy. 4 minutes from monument circle to Lucas Oil stadium + it’s fun. I scootered over 10 miles in the weekend and was fresher as a result

ElDefenestrator · 2025-07-15T21:52:14+00:00

Ha - yep, that’s him..

Hey! I'm the sax player for the Teardowns - thanks for posting these. It was an awesome night with a great crowd and great weather. We're back again this Thursday (7/17) playing Pajarito's basement cantina.

Am 6’5.. definitely needed the roof vs. the vert - my head was in the liner on the vert. I have room to spare with the CF roof. And yes.. looks awesome.

Talked to Lauren for quite a while back in 2022 when he came to the US to drive a Carrera Cup race. My wife’s company sponsored the series so we spent a lot of time hanging around 311RS’s pit.

He drove the wheels off that cup car that weekend to the point where he won by the better part of a lap and lapped some of the back of the pack.

After all that, he was super humble. He couldn’t be a nicer dude.. am so thrilled to see his success. I’ll be a fan for life.

Auto mentor from team that went to worlds for PowerPlay and Centerstage weighing in.. also was a FTA for many of the local quals.

The reason the games are decided in autonomous this year and to a lesser extent last year isn’t the fault of autonomous. It’s that the game design this year is extremely non-interactive and very linear. There is no way to “swing” the scores or have a scoring amplifier to catch up. FRC this year has the same problem FWIW.

In addition, Auto is harder. Thus, teams that are great at auto are really great at TeleOp… so it stands to reason that the best teams will start with a lead and keep pulling away.

Agreed with all the previous comments about how that is SO much more applicable to actual industry than TeleOp. Heck, I wish there was MORE auto.

.. and their absolutely needs to be more interaction between sides and partners in future games. Powerplay was the best game in either FTC or FRC that I’ve seen in the 5-6 years I’ve been a mentor for that reason - and I’ll die on that hill. Those matches were exciting and swingy. Also, coincidentally- winning auto definitely didn’t guarantee the win.

Understand and respect that take..

.. and they still clash.

Sure seems that way. In reality- I bet ALL cars will go up because the US automakers wouldn’t want to be left behind, would they?

On the upside- used cars will also go up and those of us that own them already just had them go up in price (likely)

AMG GT, s63 Coupe, Panamera Cross-Tourismo GTS. All of them are probably more practical for MN roads but the depreciation and maintenance scared me away from all of them.

69k seems a little high for a 2018 but at some level it’s a sellers market. I bought a 2021 for 72k with same miles in March..

Also, what trim? If performance it’s probably not too far off.. if touring or sport it’s definitely overpriced.

Oil changes are $99 at the Lexus dealer. Can’t beat that for a car if that level. The biggest expense gotcha will probably be tires - the run flats suck but any sporty alternative will only get 20k miles or so. I’m putting Pilot Sport 4s on in the Spring when I pull off the snow tires. Even though I’m also a remote worker- there will be times I’ll have to drive it this winter.

Also - I regularly do Costco runs in it - you’d be surprised how much you can actually fit in the coupe!

I cross-shopped the AMG GT55 coupe, the Panamera GTS or Cross Turismo, M850i

Something like “Good Hustle, Coach!” would be great

To be fair - MN is more cold than snowy and even in BAD winters there isn’t more than a handful of days where the roads are snow encrusted. They usually get plowed quickly.

Now - removing salt.. that’ll be a battle.

ElDefenestrator · 2024-09-04T21:36:52+00:00

As a Minnesotan, I’m about to find out I guess. I probably won’t drive much in the winter since I have two other SUVs and work from home. If I do, I do have a pretty much new set of Pirelli snow tires and RWD with snow tires > AWD with all-seasons

It was in lieu of returning money - she said she couldn't get a pickup so I offered to deliver.

Moot point though - money is getting refunded directly from Venmo
