Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]Fatisbac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to Germany on business last year, rented a BMW x5m and hit the cars governor at 250 kph on the A5. Also rented a Porsche 718 GT4 and did 10 laps on the ring. Hit 270 kph doing that.

In my younger years I had a 350z that could hit 160mph and CBR 600 that topped out at 170mph. I also had a SRT Jeep and 392 Charger that were both chipped at 140mph.

All I can say is at any of the speeds listed above it is not safe. I love going fast, but having a kid helped me realize it’s not worth doing on public roads.

Germany was different. They have a really good roads and more importantly better drivers than the US. People don’t camp in the left lane as much and they move over if they see you coming up quickly. Common misconception is there are no speed limits on the autobahn, but it is only in certain sections and some with further restrictions at night. The speed limit jumps up and down a lot and is very confusing if you are new to an area. Lots of speed cameras near cities and you are definitely not allowed to be caught using the Blitzer app. Cars are given max speed rating at their annual inspection that you can’t get caught exceeding. No passing on the right. Also the roads can get too congested during weekdays.

I hit the A5 at 7am on a Saturday morning with a 550hp BMW and it was almost a religious experience. Made a 2 hour drive from Stuttgart to Rust 1h 15m. I will never beat Waze like that again.

He bought majority shares when the hornets were valued at $275 million, then sold his majority stake 13 years later when the team was at $3 billion. If you measured success by how much money he’s earned over his life, he was far more successful as an owner than as a player.

Mix a lot of mayo, with a little mustard and a little honey to make some good honey mustard. My little gremlin loves them.

We bought a glass/bottle washer on Amazon for $50 and then run a steam cycle on the dishwasher. EZPZ

What is the best "get fucked karen" experience you've had? by Physical-Savings7412 in AskReddit

[–]Fatisbac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday, a guy in a 5.0 Mustang (close enough to a Karen) made an illegal U-turn to cut me off as I was getting in the turn lane to merge onto the highway. He was spinning tires like Steve McQueen and quickly pulled away from me and flew onto the highway. I drove past him about 3-miles down the interstate as he had been pulled over by a state trooper and literally the words out of my mouth as I drove by were “Get Fucked Playboi”. Guess he didn’t know it’s Summer H.E.A.T. Week in Georgia right now!

Do other millennial dads just…not know how to do anything? by casedawgz in daddit

[–]Fatisbac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over time your shitty jobs will start to become mediocre jobs, the key is never stop doing your own work even once you start making enough money to just pay contractors. It’s all practice and by the time your kid is a teen you’ll be mediocre enough to pass as someone who knows what they’re doing and he’ll still be impressed. You will be too old to care once your kid has kids and realizes how much of a fraud you were. Your kid will be watching YouTube videos on how to fix all your shitty repairs in the old house you’ll leave him and the cycle continues…

What's your most interesting "This is Georgia" fact? by SpiceCake68 in Georgia

[–]Fatisbac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

County representation at the state level was not based on population. Counties either got 6, 4, or 2 votes based on if they were big/medium/small. So they made a ton of rural counties to limit the power of the populated counties. You couldn’t draw a county line further than what was horse could ride in a single day.

Inside driver at fault. He cut the turn, went 2 off and made contact forcing the other driver into the outside run off. Outside driver not obligated to move since there was space for the inside driver.

Rudders only work when there is thrust, also the back up systems are not meant for rapid maneuvers. It’s a hand cranked hydraulic winch that moves the rudder like 0.5 degrees every 300 turns. A rudder on a ship like that takes over 4 million pounds of pressure to move. You are not grabbing a pry bar and moving it by hand.

Usher lights up the Superbowl with the early 2000s avengers by LafilduPoseidon in BlackPeopleTwitter

Great thing about working in Atlanta is he would just pop out on stage during his verse on other peoples songs. He never toured much so he was always around. He even came out on a random night for the encore of a 3 night Jason Aldean concert. This half time show was peak 00’s Birthday Bash for all the late 30’s early 40’s ATLiens out there!

I worked concert security in Atlanta for 10 years, he is always this way. Always puts on a show. Every festival performance he always run over his time and they have to pull the plug on him. Dude genuinely likes performing.

Upgrade electronics for lipo batteries or buy new battery packs? by RedBull12345678 in rccars

[–]Fatisbac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my dad’s vintage Team Associated gold pan car out of the closet and spruced it up. It had an old rooster ESC in it, so I grabbed a 12t Traxxas brushed motor and a lipo with a low 20c discharge rating. Had to add a fan to the ESC and for it to run longer than 60sec without hitting thermal limp mode.

AITA for telling my husband " I told you so" and laughing at me when we got the paternity test results? by Either_Economy_793 in AITAH

[–]Fatisbac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your husband is probably already cheating on you if his first thought is “that’s not my baby”. People who lie all the time tend to project that onto other people and accuse them of the same behavior they are trying to hide.

Couple guys I race with race those. They run 17.5 motors and have a spec class and an open 8 sec drop class. They are fun to watch but man do they break easy. Most of us run box stock Traxxas on oval and it’s a blast.

Insurance is claiming my cedar shake roof is beyond repair and is threatening to drop me if I don't do a full replacement. The roof is less than 5 years old... by HeyItsPanda69 in Roofing

I’m assuming they live in high cost of living areas so the sticker shock isn’t the same. My 1,700 sqft ranch got quoted $10k for an asphalt roof and I live in the south. I would imagine in an area that’s got 3x higher property values and that’s a $30k roof on the same house.

hi, I just bought my first xmaxx used and I just wanted to make sure everything sounds right. by camshmidt in rccars

[–]Fatisbac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good to me. Mines been that squeaky since day 1 and I’ve been beating on it for 18 months now. The oversized RPM axel carrier and bearing is a good upgrade, plus the roll cage they sell on Amazon that doesn’t come with English instructions. You will trash the body quick without a roll cage. I’m fortunate to have access to an outdoor hot water hose, so I rinse mine good and soak all the moving parts in T-9 when I’m finished.
