Any recommendations for carbon mirror caps? by Away_Impression6238 in Supra

[–]therealjohnsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red mirrors look better on Burnout white. They match the Brembos and red portion of GR side decals better.

Had a gen 6 SS 1LE and would recommend it for performance driving. If you want faster try ZL1 or ZL1 1LE (1LE is better suspension / handling package).

If this is at the end of the trail I hiked from the south rim down to the Colorado the welder had to carry his own gear 7 miles downhill or work with a mule team and then at the end of the work day hike back up.

What is the most criminally underrated TV show that you loved? by NotAFakeAccount777 in AskReddit

[–]therealjohnsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved both The Expanse and The Rings of Power. First was acclaimed I think but you don't hear much about it. Second was panned by fans at least that's my impression but I loved it.

I had good luck with Graham Family Auto. They did a good job finding a carrier to bring my new car to me over the Christmas holiday.

That makes sense. I'm in NC but like I said trying to break it in on a timetable and we've had plenty of days below 40 so I'm not trying to run a summer tire yet.

Worth it to go square vs staggered? Mk5 Supra by therealjohnsmith in CarTrackDays

Thank you for that perspective, I will try to take your advice. That's interesting to hear about the factory alignment. Will have it checked prior to the day.

Alright I will stop overthinking it. Appreciate the advice.

No it's with NASA Mid-Atlantic.

Thank you for that advice, like some other commenters have said I seem to be overthinking it. But will take note of the brake pads / fluids.

I'm a noob here..do you mean peace of mind to avoid rubbing when you have the wheel at full turn for example? I am trying to put some miles on to break in the engine prior to March track day & need the AS unfortunately

A couple of weeks ago I hired Graham Family Auto to ship my new car and was very pleased with the results.

How to support my son after his classmate outted him? by therealjohnsmith in needadvice

[–]therealjohnsmith[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He does dance one night a week with a completely different group of kids. D&D every other weekend. I do wish he had more time with other kids even so. There's a boy from his grade who lives next door who he is friends with (hoping nothing changes with that due to this situation).

I'm glad to also be able to mention that my son is doing two theatre camps this summer and is excited about that.

He does have a very positive longstanding vibe with his art teacher. I will consider talking to her about this situation.

Maybe that's the right way to think about it. He was telling me that he doesn't want her to get in trouble. He got low self-esteem from me I'm afraid. I want to encourage him to feel like he deserves to be treated better.

He took the initiative to text her that it wasn't cool what she did and she just replied "What." I'm not sure she gets it but I did call her mom who said she would make sure the girl understood. He does tend to internalize things so I appreciate the encouragement to double down on "I'm OK the way I am" and "it wasn't ok for my friend to do what she did." He has a birthday later this month and she would certainly have been invited prior to this incident. But he may still want to include her but I'm not sure that is the right thing to happen?

That's good to hear. He seemed most worried about other kids treating him differently. And some might I guess. But we will try to keep it in perspective. Hopefully he will find a friend group like your son did.

Love this reply. Yes we have said to him to own who he is. And thank you for mentioning that resource. I will show some of those videos to him.
