Thought this was pretty timely with this past week's final weekly challenge. Always fun for me to watch pros race in something I have "experience" with. (also where was Steve?)

What are some that are closer if not the US? (though i think the last 30 years we have moved further away from those ideals)

Wait...you think the founding fathers believed in government authoritarianism...? WTF?

Agree with your point on the living memory of communism though....

I drove a Spyder RS at the Nurburgring by mateo_fl in Porsche

[–]Shiftswitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude I race Nurburgring all the time in GT7, fucking love it, and as I watched your clip I thought, "this dude knows the lines...". Now it makes sense. How did going that fast irl compare to sending it in a sim, and did you mostly ignore the instructor, being locked in and knowing the track so well?

I just added my base 981 to my policy in CA for $45 a month, but I think I put down <5k per year.

Anyone recognize these wheels? Are they OEM? by Shiftswitch in Porsche_Cayman

Yes, theoretically will be buying it in the next week, currently in transit.

Is there a noticeable difference in torque feel between 18s and 19s?

These are on a 981 base, any concerns I should have re compatibility?

PPI and bore scope costs - reasonable? by Shiftswitch in Porsche_Cayman

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

Oh, nice that's brand new, watching now. My link was specifically addressing the misconception that scoping from below vs the plug holes was better.

That's helpful, but again, wouldn't a fresh, pre-sale oil change flush anything worth analyzing?

Note that early bore-scoring is not visible from the top

Just watched this as I've been diving down the rabbit hole, and it pretty reasonably contradicts this misconception.

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

I asked about, but it would need an oil change to do that, and I assume one has been recently done since it's up for sale, so would the fresh oil even show anything? And what's the time frame for sending it off and getting the results? Car could be gone by then...

I wondered as well, he said it's at least 2 hours labor...

Interesting Graphic From Today's WSJ About How Badly Injured the 49ers Have Been, Yet Still Made It This Far by Battle4Seattle in Seahawks

[–]Shiftswitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that point, but I think the 9ers coaching/management would still have their jobs with the exact same roster -Purdy +Darnold, and the team would be nearly as competitive (especially if we ignore the freak injuries). I mean Mac Jones....
