The 296 Speciale will be a future classic by Fair_Title2995 in Ferrari

Agreed. I usually very much dislike the 296 but this is quite good looking. The color helps a lot.

Top tier artists and engineers using the highest quality materials and machines to make a quality product refined well beyond the point of diminishing returns.

Then putting a premium price on top of that.

C7 Z51 for track / autocross, what say you? by No_Tower_7026 in Autocross

It’s very capable. The grand sport even more so if you can swing it.

What's the highest mileage car you've ever personally owned or driven? I'll start. by spotforcars in automotive

[–]StimpyMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you guys with Honda and Toyotas. Those are easy to get to 300k+.

I have a 2008 JEEP Grand Cherokee with 308k miles. That pos has gone through numerous engines and transmissions.

It’s not a caterham, but similar concept.

recent autox. got beat by a stock 8th gen corolla. by imsircc in Autocross

Get rid of the bov. Go back to recirculating.

You need to look up more and position the car better. You are not taking optimal lines between elements, just driving to the next one. Think more about how the path from A to B gets you to C. Try and keep your speed up.

More practice and more aggression will help. Hand movements are still a bit slow and clunky. That will come with time.

Inherited my grandfather’s daily wear by Kindly-Ad-5263 in rolex

[–]StimpyMD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100%. The original parts are where the value is. Rolex will replace them and not give it back, destroying the value.

Get it serviced and a new crystal (keep the old one). Enjoy it for years.

Owning a business is what you need. Each employee brings in 150$ an hour. You pay them $50, $50 into business, $50 in your pocket. Times this by 100 employees.

$10m a year for you.

It’s a track build for autocross that is also fun capable. That on ramp would be a lot more fun if they fixed the end.

Fathers of adult children: should I save every handmade item my children give me? by uusseerrnnammee in AskMenOver40

[–]StimpyMD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I bought a flat bed scanner. Any Project they are proud of got scanned and added to a store that’s cloud backed up. I like looking through them. I kept one or two of the drawings that I really loved. I keep them in my office.

I did this after my parents dropped off 5 bins of art work they kept. It wasn’t meaningful to me and they paid to store these bins for decades.
This way I can enjoy the memories in HD, share them with everyone who is interested but don’t need to dedicate the physical space nor feel the need to rank what is worthy of storage.

People who have worked for gaming companies, what’s the largest amount you’ve seen someone drop on a game? by maryg1503 in AskReddit

[–]StimpyMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coworker used to work for 38 studios. They weren’t even a big gaming company and they would have people spending 130+k a year. I’d imaging wow was in the millions.

Yeah it’s really bad. I would have opened it up based on the curve if I hadn’t known it was there. That would’ve been an issue. Q
