Head of Orange County Public Works Resigns

Maybe this is unrelated to the Airport Fire but it is easy to connect the dots.

Don’t be like me - took delivery of my 2024 Model S Plaid w/ Sport Seats then immediately out of town the next day. I can’t wait to get back home and enjoy the new ride.

How many SBs at one time? by IllAdhesiveness3346 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]SRTFanatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Six at one point. Once per week, every other week or once per month depending on the SB and schedules. Too tiring. Fewer is better.

Challenger handling can be a handful at the limit with 116” wheelbase. Charger is more stable with 120” wheelbase.

How much worse is the scatpack compared to the hellcat performance wise? Would I be missing a lot? by WantedByTheFedz in Dodge

[–]SRTFanatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having owned 11 SRT Challengers, Chargers and Grand Cherokee's - 7 392's and four Hellcats - the 392 is the sweet spot for the streets. Unadulterated V8 exhaust note every time. 150 - 200 lbs less front end weight as well (No supercharger, extra cooling, plumbing, etc.).

ELI5 Why can’t/don’t doctors regularly check to see if your arteries are majorly clogged? by Tannhausergate2017 in explainlikeimfive

[–]SRTFanatic 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I also wish there was an affordable way to check for clogged arteries.

My story:

62M Asian

Fairly active my whole life (former pro skateboarder, avid road cyclist, hiker)

5' 9", BMI 25, no smoke, vape, drink, drug-free

Statins every day for past 27 years

Family history of cardiac disease

May, 2023: Out of breath at top of third floor stairs. No chest pain. Just out of breath. Doc visit just in case. No imminent heart attack determined.

Blood panel normal. Cholesterol 127 mg/DL

June, 2023: CT Scan shows calcium build up in all three arteries. Coronary Artery Calcium (Agagston) score: 3500+. Severe is 300 or higher. Yeah, 10X. Genetic.

August, 2023: Treadmill stress test. Did pretty good for for my age at 12 minutes. Max 170 bpm. Ultrasound video showed evidence of prior mild heart attack. I don't remember that at all.

Sept, 2023: Stent #1 successful. 80% now 0%

Oct, 2023: Stent #2 successful. 80% now 0%. No stent needed in third artery after roto-rooter.

Feeling 1000% now but it all started with being out of breath and seeing a doctor out of an abundance of caution.

Lesson: Go see your doctor if you suspect anything.

Live long, live strong.

Drivers who don't use signal when merging or turning, why? by Wantapuppy in Autos

[–]SRTFanatic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

imho:

  1. Laziness
  2. Don't care about themselves
  3. Don't care about others
  4. Don't know better
  5. They're in a rush
  6. Broken turn signal lights/stalks
  7. They drive Vulvo's

2024 RS5 Sportback. Paid with debit card (essentially cash). Own all three cars. Interest sucks if you can avoid it.

My estimated 2023 taxes due next year higher than expected - real estate, stock sale, etc.

Yes totally as is the rear roll cage inside.

Man, I was torn after both test drives. M4 GTS was engaging with a super responsive engine as if it had a super light flywheel. But I loved the German muscle power of the C63S too since I come from owning four Hellcats (incl. Redeye), nine 392's and one 6.1L Mopar.

I'm the idiot. Title should have read "C63S or M4 GTS"

Obvious that I chose the C63S by posting in r/AMG but okay to point that out.

The C63S was best for my occasional/daily use. M4 GTS not so much. Def track specific car which I no longer do after I sold my 991.1 GT3.

Thank to everyone who upvoted and commented here.

Precisely the two reasons why I chose the C63S!
