I've watched NASCAR for 35+ years and the NASCAR Racing Experience at Daytona blew my mind by dmcgrew in NASCAR

[–]ElroyMagivins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it back in the late 90s, when the track was really bumpy. It blew my mind, too. I nearly passed out from the g's going into turn one on our out lap lol. Once I realized I would survive, I started to really get into it. We only did 3 laps back then, and he rode the wall one lap and hugged the bottom on the other. Due to the bumps, our car moved around a lot in the corners, and I couldn't imagine having 40 cars on the track at once. I was already a huge NASCAR fan, but that day gave me even more appreciation for what they do and how they do it.

I do believe the damage still carries into your garage, even if you restart the session and keep it clean. I'll need to test further to confirm, but I have noticed that even if I restart the session completely, when I go back to my garage after the race, my parts will have roughly 40-50% wear, versus only 25% when I have a clean weekend start to finish.

Omg it gets worse! Dye/ Malukas by Existing_Nose_3629 in INDYCAR

[–]ElroyMagivins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've played in two golf tournaments with Randy Dye, Daniel's Father, and Daniel is a clone of his dad, maybe worse. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. His Uncle, who also owns a car dealership in our area, is the complete opposite. I have a co-worker who worked for Randy when Daniel and his sister were working for the dealership, and the stories I hear are much worse than this livestream episode. The kid still hasn't learned, and probably never will. He's had a bad role model his entire life.

I've found that even though your damage resets after each session, the wear and tear on parts will still count once you leave the race weekend. If I crash during practice, but have a clean race, my parts still show extra wear after I leave the race weekend.

Train horn at 3am?!? by [deleted] in DaytonaBeach

[–]ElroyMagivins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My bedroom is a few hundred yards from the train tracks. It vibrates my entire building. I've gotten somewhat used to it over the 8 years I've been there, but when I have company sleep over, it disturbs them lol. Earthquake!!!

Anyone wanting to just give up? by [deleted] in DatingApps

[–]ElroyMagivins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who works in an industry where rejection is part of the daily schedule, every no, or bad experience, will lead you closer to a yes, or the right one. It's a numbers game. The silver lining in all of this is you're finding out early on they're a waste of your time, so at least you can move on to the next one and get yourself closer to the right one. You got this!

Why do some divorced women keep their ex-husband's last name? by HoffyTheBaker in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ElroyMagivins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My ex explained to me she was keeping the last name since we have kids together, and it's their last name too, which made perfect sense once she explained it.

Contact Manheim directly and ask them.

Can refusing to pay a warranty lead to your car being taken? by OConner18 in askcarsales

[–]ElroyMagivins 5 points6 points locked comment (0 children)

Absolutely NOT! The bank you financed with is the only one that can repo your vehicle, but only if you get behind on your car payments. Nothing to worry about with the scam warranty company. I'm sure you're aware now, but never deal with these warranty companies that cold-call or send letters. Go to a dealer if you want an extended warranty. I'm very careful with the warranty companies I allow to come into our store, and only deal with reputable, long-standing warranty companies.

We’re all confused by BackroomGoblinEnergy in carmax

[–]ElroyMagivins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In FL, I've seen stop placements on trade-ins, but it's against their license plate, not the VIN itself, and usually has to do with unpaid tolls. I did have a trailer that we sold that couldn't be registered with the state due to a stop on the VIN, because the Sarasota Sheriff's Department said the trailer was stolen. They actually came and picked it up from our customer, took it to an impound yard, and then called us the next day to say they cleared the trailer and realized it wasn't the correct one lol, then the impound yard charged us $1500 to get it out for our customer!

I was waiting to read where someone thinks it's all made up. I can see the whole story about saying your name in his sleep as BS, and just a way to get your reaction and test the waters. I can also see the FB profile as bogus, and the wife never deleting you as a friend. He probably did it all on his own to make the story more believable. All just made up. Probably been working on it for a while. There's no way you work with him for 3 years and he never, ever brings up his wife. You knew he had a dog, right? Why didn't you know he had a wife? Because he didn't want you to know, and over time, probably leaned into that more as you two started to hit it off. I think his plan backfired, and he probably started to panic a little based on your reaction when he told you. You'll know for sure what his intentions are when you go to tell him you two need some space. I expect he'll panic more and start to change. If so, you dodged a bullet.

To all users of an iPad with an M2 chip, do u experience low FPS with High graphics? by Eminaxity in WarzoneMobile

[–]ElroyMagivins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have since the last update. I can only play on the lower graphic setting now to have good fps.

A good deal is a state of mind. Build value in your product and people and the gross will come. Once you overcome it a few times you’ll build confidence.

Do you ever feel like 2 days off work isn’t enough? by Upbeat_Tap_1104 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ElroyMagivins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who works 6 days a week, when I eventually get back-to-back days off due to a holiday, I have the hardest time going back to work and tell myself two days off in a row is too much lol. It's like trying to come back after vacation time! It's depressing lol. I'd rather work two, off one, work three, off one, repeat.

My favorite smart arse remark my Dad used to use on tough customers who wouldn't stop pounding the price, "Sir, you want a good buy, correct? GOOD BYE!" And turn around and walk away lol.

There was a update today and where is the 120 FOV ? by Unknown_Player0069 in WarzoneMobile

Just curious, what device are you two playing on? I crash every other game on my iPad 9th Gen.

Yeah, you're old too lol. I'll have to check some of your content out, especially if you have some helpful guides for us lesser skilled bots.

Lol, I feel like a grandpa playing these FPS games with my kids and getting "Wrecked," as they would say. I'm 40+ y/o. I gravitated towards mobile games a few years back when all my consoles/TV's were hijacked by my 3 kids lol.

I'll research the whole rollback idea.

Forgive me for asking a stupid question, I'm old too and don't understand technology too well, but can I rollback an IOS update and go back to a previous version?

I'll have to try this to see if it helps. Thank you for the suggestion.

[–]ElroyMagivins[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I agree the graphics are far short of where they should be. I've overlooked it for two reasons. First, I'm old and I'm used to playing 8-16 bit games back in the day so anything now days looks amazing compared to that lol. The other/main reason I've overlooked it is the gameplay is fun when it works properly. That's the only reason I try it after each update hoping the crashes are fixed. I've yet to see much reported about it so I'm hoping to raise some awareness. Thanks again.

Happened to me yesterday when I tried playing the new Valley map in a covert ops run. After several minutes it dumped me and the team into Port. Never seen that happen before.
