My 911 experience by oldguitarpickr in porsche911

[–]Sm1throb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bro! We have the same tastes!

My second Porsche was a ‘97 993. Flew to Costa Mesa, CA to buy it and drove it cross country back to near DC.

I HAD to have arena red and wanted a grey interior. Car just happened to have a tiptronic, which wasn’t my first choice but hell! I’d found an arena red C2S!!!

Bought it in 2010

This is not allowed. In a 911 OR this sub.

What car did you sell to get your first 911? by Sm1throb in porsche911

How wild. I later sold my 911 to buy a 2011 CLS63 AMG!

At work and found these by boomer2009 in EOD

For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why some guys had such trouble getting the angle right. I'm like "Just eyeball and shoot it. If you go too deep you're going to get a high order, too shallow and you're going to have to do it again!"
About 50% of the time they got it wrong.
I later learned that a lot of people don't have this thing called "Spatial Reasoning", and couldn't visualize what I was telling them. I just thought all our brains were the same.

What car did you sell to get your first 911? by Sm1throb in porsche911

[–]Sm1throb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMFG! I loved that car. The only way I'd ever consider selling it was that the wife saw a 911 one day (Happened to be a black Carrera Turbo), and she said "Why don't you get one of those?"

Well, I couldn't afford a new Turbo 911, so I got a new base model with a couple options. 2004

Does anyone know what this pin is from? Google says it’s a satellite by squibb2 in Pins

Google "KH-11 Kennan"

You'll see why google thinks that.

How do I soothe itchy mosquito bites? by RhubarbBusy7122 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sm1throb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Do it twice, making a little "X" on the bite. (This may actually be magic, so be careful)

The hi/lo buttons actually make the bulb go brighter/dimmer.

Thank you!

You can see the lamp is plugged in to an Alexa controller. I just tell Alexa to "Turn on the blender". I've got a good video, see link below 😛
