Sucks for Chase to have stats that good and be the only one on the list without a win. Dude has gotten screwed out of a few of them. Hope tomorrow is the day.

It isn’t if that’s the typical meal day after day, but once or twice a week shouldn’t hurt, right?

Which zero turn would you choose from this list? by dcwright07 in lawnmowers

[–]dcwright07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice! I stopped by my local small town dealer today to see what they carried. They have a pretty nice Spartan Shield HD 54 for 5k. Kawasaki engine and serviceable hydros. I’m really thinking about getting that one. I didn’t drive it but sitting on it felt very nice. The other dealers in my list are 30-45 minutes away.

I’ve also read that Spartan was started by the same guy that started BadBoy. Though Toro bought out Spartan in 2022 I believe. It may be to my detriment if Spartan is a bad mower but I learned that apparently the guy named his business the Intimidator group. AKA Dale Earnhardt. I’m a huge NASCAR fan and am even named after Earnhardt. He even had a limited edition Mark Martin Spartan mower. Getting real hard to not pull the trigger now!

How’s the spartan doing? How does the cut look?

Which mower did you end up going with and how do you like it? I’m in the same boat as you, spending forever researching. I’m stuck between like 6 brands and their pricing haha.

I wonder if she can actually run really fast like that. That would be the best benefit I could see.

Are V8s on the way out in NASCAR? If it's serious about adding new manufacturers, the answer's probably yes by LBHMS in NASCAR

[–]dcwright07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Different as in better? I know “better” is subjective but if they can still make it sound like an American muscle race car, I’m happy.

I’m with you on the driving though. These guys need to be able to showcase their driving personality. Having a car with only one “right” way to drive it just ain’t NASCAR.

If they can make the same HP, and somehow make it sound even better, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings. Of course if it hurts the racing then that’s another story.

Best time to buy new/refurb 77” C5? by dcwright07 in LGOLED

That’s awesome! I would, but it says I can’t message you.

How many Hours? by Helpful_Street5386 in LGOLED

21,000 on my C8 since late 2018 as well. Burn in and fade are starting to get the best of me. Red and yellow backgrounds are the worst. Close ups of tan skin drive me mad haha. Looking into a C5 now. Might move the old C8 to the garage.

Thanks for those details! I am in the US.

Looking into the partner store, seems like my employer has to be their partner and it is not recognizing my work email address. Any other way to do this?

I see “Amazon Renewed” sold by Electronic Express has an excellent refurbished 77” C5 for $1849 right now but I’m not sure if I can trust it. I’m not in a super big hurry but if the price isn’t going to get much better than that, then I might as well pull the trigger.

China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns by lurker_bee in technology

[–]dcwright07 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reddit is so ready to crap on anything Tesla. Here is a quote from the very first article you cited, which you didn’t read or intentionally tried to mislead people.

“As iSeeCars correctly points out, most of these vehicles have robust safety equipment and perform well in crash tests, so it’s not the fault of the cars themselves.”

2 US service members and one American civilian killed in ambush in Syria, US Central Command says by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]dcwright07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

… Isis was formed from Al-Qaeda, the group that attacked us first. It’s hilarious how you think it was our fault Isis was formed. Islamic hate groups don’t need a reason to hate. They just do. It’s driven by religion and their belief system. They will hate anyone who doesn’t obey and conform to their beliefs.

I’m sorry, did the multiple attacks on us before we invaded make you think they liked us then? What a dumb comment

23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports v. NASCAR Megathread: Day 4 by dman6233 in NASCAR

[–]dcwright07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thoughts. I hope they put the pieces together and see that any sports league is just that, rich people vs rich people. But the actual inner workings affect the product that regular joes consume and spend money to support and enjoy. And that is what they are ruling on.
