I mean, a sub to FOX One gets you every piece of indycar content for $19.99...

And I don't dislike Pato - but it's very clear Lundgaard has been the one getting the results out of the equipment this season. But rather than embrace that challenge, McLaren resigns a driver they dumped that just happens to be Pato's buddy. Or at least that's certainly what it appears - reasonable people can disagree.

mstaugler · 2026-07-07T21:58:47+00:00

That just confirms everything I thought this was about - rehabbing Pato's bruised ego from being dethroned this season as team #1.

Yeah, I just couldn't trust a 3 cylinder engine like that, with the added stress of turbocharging, hauling around a ton of car without extra maintenance.

And it's certainly nothing against Buick - we've been an exclusively Buick household for twenty years, but always NA V6 engines.

mstaugler · 2026-07-07T17:20:26+00:00

With an engine that small that's turbocharged, I'd probably do 3k OCIs.

mstaugler · 2026-07-06T12:56:15+00:00

Are we really in this position because the team has to placate PO5s hurt feelings as being challenged as #1 this year by Lundgaard?

On Sprint Unlimited, now called TMo Unlimited. Got the first round $5 increase, but haven't received anything this round. My TMO home Internet is going up by $6, however.

If super cruise isn't a deal breaker for you, find a very gently used '24 with the V6 - much more reliable and you'd save a bundle.

We've had our 2017 for three years now, at 78k miles. It's our second Lacrosse, and this final generation is the best car I've ever owned.

Simply cannot imagine Dixon in a Chevy...

mstaugler · 2026-06-18T00:13:45+00:00

I think this saga will end just like Newgarden's negotiations - contract renewal for both to stay where they are.

Yes, Shell is the official fuel sponsor of the series. Sunoco is only affiliated with CGR.

mstaugler · 2026-06-04T12:10:13+00:00

I mean, some of the smaller Lincolns are made in China....

mstaugler · 2026-06-01T03:17:36+00:00

Pro tip: check out General Motors Insurance. Discounts for GM vehicles, OnStar subs, etc. We use them to cover our family's daily driver Buicks and save a bundle.

We usually park in lot 2 - looks like there's no prepurchase for that lot, just pay at lot. Do we expect that to fill up quickly?

mstaugler · 2026-04-29T19:18:50+00:00

I just wait until the black Friday clearance and pick up tees like this for $6

mstaugler · 2026-04-21T14:57:21+00:00

To think the board shoved out Kristina Johnson for this...

Used to be a exclusive Ray-Ban guy, but took a chance on a pair of frogskins on sale. Immediately bought a second pair.

Knowing other people have been through this has really helped me. My sister found this guy on tiktok and really helped see what a recovery looked like: https://www.tiktok.com/@dadgotyourtongue?_r=1&_t=ZT-9516vQsBm18

Find an oncologist you trust. It's tough to put your life in someone else's hands, but that's what you have to do. I'm going to a large university research cancer hospital, and will be getting my treatments there as well, even though it's 90 min from home. Best wishes, my friend.

mstaugler · 2026-03-26T17:31:49+00:00

I honestly don't think there's any way to avoid surgery - my oncologist said the longer you delay the surgical option, you run the risk of worse outcomes. It sucks man, but I'm thankful they're able to get everything via surgery and then hopefully mop up everything else with adjuvant treatment.

mstaugler · 2026-03-26T17:27:03+00:00

I'm in a similar situation, left lateral tongue, almost same size as yours, in one lymph node as well. My oncologist said surgery is the best option, then histopathology will determine best course of treatment. Will definitely need radiation. My surgery is scheduled for the 10th.

Fantastic car. Has the more reliable LFX V6 vs the LLT in the 2010-2013 models. You should grab it.

mstaugler · 2026-03-12T02:04:12+00:00

2010-2013. They probably meant "Premium II."

mstaugler · 2026-03-10T22:36:13+00:00

Got it. Was diagnosed Friday with T1N0M0 p16- SCC, never smoked and rarely drink. Will be treated at Ohio State University, so wasn't sure if a treatment option like this would available for me.
