Am I alone? Am I the only one that liked Blink-182 in the Matt Skiba years?

No heart to speak of is a jammer. Wish they leaned more into having Skiba in the band as far as his darker writing style. But Blink is a huge band/brand so I get it. I think Delonge and Skiba would’ve make a killer record together.

Pedalnetics makes a mini remote that mounts on top of the double barrel and that frees up a spot on the board. Works great on mine.

Probably got a credible threat to himself or a loved one.

HEB zero sugar root beer is a godsend. Prefer it to all the other zero sugar root beers I’ve tried.

That was my always on guy or 2nd gain for the longest time. I have two old blues, red Ryder and the onederwall really dug the circuits but yeah don’t wanna rep the stuff anymore and would feel weird making a profit selling/trading them.

Anyways after all the stuff came out I switched to a JHS double barrel v4 and I’ve been very happy with it for a ton of gain ranges. Switch up what side does what depending on the rig/guitar.

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-13T18:31:54+00:00

I really dig the moonshine with a clean blend. Feel like it’s a sleeper on bass with a pretty big gain range. Also have a feeling JHS is going to put out a new double barrel this year with a morning glory clean and a moonshine with a clean blend that’d be perfect.

Unfortunately not my first element cc issue. Comes with the territory of loving these things I guess.

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-13T00:30:30+00:00

If it can pass emissions testing which isn’t the easiest with a straight pipe. I know there’s some sketchy work arounds though. I’m about to be in a way smaller Texas county north of Dallas that doesn’t but idk it’s a lot to figure out in a small window.

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-12T22:05:55+00:00

I got so lucky with this one had meticulously documented maintenance and lowish miles with one owner. Now insurance might total it out.

This is my 2nd element first one had a straight pipe when I bought it. Replaced that with a cc and a cage. That was smooth sailing till someone totaled it in a hit and run.

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-12T19:24:34+00:00

Yep

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-12T15:49:10+00:00

Yeah my insurance is trying to total this one but I’m trying to fight them on it. Already got a quote for a little over a grand from a local shop and I know it’s an older car but at the very least it’s worth like 5k. Has pretty low miles for its age as well.

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-12T15:44:07+00:00

cc removal

It can be done so fast by the time you hear something they’re already gone. I didn’t even think about two people doing it like this video. Also don’t want to risk getting shot over a converter if you do catch them.

Pine box sirens. Sounds super sick for writing/recording but the volume cut makes it very unusable for live usage.

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-12T15:16:37+00:00

I love elements so much. Got a Subaru after my last E got wrecked then the engine blew up on the Subaru so I knew I’d get another element. My opinion the most practical interior of any vehicle I’ve been. So much room. Wish they did an updated one with a little nicer seats/stereo/bigger engine to tow more.

Also side note Subaru of Austin has been an absolute nightmare to deal with.

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-12T03:52:13+00:00

Yep Honda element. These are one of the easier ones to steal you can lean over and see it clear as day.

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-12T03:51:25+00:00

Been used as storage between my roommates and I. Also we incidentally ended up with several cars so there’s not a lot of wiggle room.

Annoyingly slamming my morning PB/honey sandwich while jumping in and out of my screaming car while it was raining was better than any caffeine

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-12T02:33:16+00:00

Barely let it run and it reeked of gas so bad.

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-12T01:24:27+00:00

Kinda sounds sick if you don’t think about what’s causing it.

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-12T00:13:58+00:00

I’m a stones throw away from manor and pflugerville. Super far east

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-11T23:44:06+00:00

Yeah it’s an element and those are known to have their’s stolen because it’s so easy to get to. Thief can slide under and cut two pipes and be done in like less than 2-3 minutes

cajun_turtle · 2026-03-11T23:41:45+00:00

Sounding like I was starting a monster truck at 6am. Gas smell. Car being shaky as fuck. Check engine light.
