I bought a pair of in-ear headphones from Canada earlier. I think it took two days for them to arrive in Sweden, maybe three.

 

Also, a random thought I got when I was watching a video. What's with the bad driving etiquette drivers have in the US? Why would anyone hog the leftmost (passing lane) on a 4-lane freeway?

Well, yeah I already knew that. This video exposed that even more. Hes still not as cringy as some youtubers that talk about mechanics and the inner workings of a car when its obvious they read a marketing pamphlet. 

Still think he's annoying.

I'd say 75% of the time they were never taught what the left lane is for. Here its pretty bad because theres an open median where there are a lot of left turns. So you get gramps slowing to 25 on the highway so he can get his hotdog at the quickie mart.

I have never thought mushrooms were overpowering? What mushrooms are you eating man?

I guess its more of the fact that I don't like them. So as soon as I taste them I don't want to take another bite of my meal

Would my new downpipe bolt up / clamp to my stock exhaust? Typically they would right? Photo of new downpipe for reference

Been thinking about the new NSX lately. It sort of fills a spot where it has no real competition (hybrid super car). I just feel that the car is overpriced for what it is, and the interior isn't anything to write home about.

 

What other cars can you get for a similar price ($200k)? AMG GT R, 911 Turbo, R8, Vantage V12, and even the 570S are all within the price of the new NSX. All of them have an interior that makes you feel a lot more special.

 

Actually, thinking back. I forgot the car that is the direct competitor to the NSX. It's the BMW i8.

I guess you could get a Mclaren? http://www.caranddriver.com/mclaren/570s-570gt 

Tuned to fuck Z06?

Edit: Even after throwing every option I wanted on the Z06 it totals total to 125k http://www.chevrolet.com/byo-vc/client/en/US/chevrolet/corvette/2017/corvette-z06/summary?ss=H4sIAAAAAAAAAM1VzW7TQBD%2B4iVISBU%2FB3gAcuGClNi1jU%2FIv2kTJ21jOwSDEBd6oxJcUaW%2BAo8Cdzhw4DH6JghmnNm1RSxOjcRKO575dnZ2dmZnDOAR8PE7htdfYb27gFUVYGx4%2FaWVB6%2Fv331%2FhQF4RFBOXkPl5SHUIp1DTSsPKksDqDMvhNpkjEXEhWeETWwX6viEVKYxk3JFZJISmdeCJeULQ46ETALaZo9dMZA4Y6h67Iv5OFvzaRWTmeaCSLiFW4lXpwntnXl0mltPobyaHIoCW0gcO1BlSabcNemtSzKQZi93SJjSVR2vEF8a17KQFpa2J%2BIk8EQ8zjVW2DmGTzdhlUCt6kjIejVuyW8a2A7aNRqNiNmGWTZqsTkZuC3AL2jU60MDt93IMdxVcQ770T5zfHNjjnMP3NsKHDazwhE2AkfaCH6vC%2F64e9hzNIzy3T5dzoAxF1HGAIvmHZoHkJWbYZpHYY7id0a5oPmA5rnWNcyP%2FwFpiqON2VxQfqHmIlnqd2LWWLBujGmK3xzFpd968w2Cxl5Hpeqm%2FkCrbCLsL69cl38FCdvGZNyaufsM0szrxuVcHODmZBzgnmoE7mJGWJpCZ5Nv9OX0NZZR0LE90Gjs96CnUUyfW4J80GjSKWXuokZYPYs7Vj5Do%2Bz3sBtkizuc3dH9KbrcCI25Ikt7zBVHDnbLvmwqXTZyz2yFMmoF%2FiXsRnaTLbC%2FbPK%2FyDhQ59PWgYEFGQ%2FxGE8QIESMBCkyTDFDjgVOsEKBDWq8wlt8wiXaBP1z%2FAHKR6hIsQcAAA%3D%3D

I've seen some Teboils (petrol station chain) listing prices for 99e5. I wonder how much it differs from 98e5

It didn't come to my mind because it's not a car that I'm personally interested in.

 

It might have great power and handling. But I would rather have a no-option 911 Carrera GTS for that price. Yeah, it's down by 200 hp, but it's still the choice I would make.

"Because I'm doing the speed limit and no one needs to pass me"

 

"because I don't feel like switching lanes every 30 seconds"

 

are both what I've heard from people who do it. 

 

I will say in a few places here the left lane is actually a lot smoother than the right lane *cough*cough* US190

 

so at that point it's a joint effort and everyone just uses the left lane so they don't have to go through the insane right lane. It's stupid that roads are allowed to get as bad as they are here. And pothole after pothole for 100+ miles is not doable at 60mph/~100kph

It depends. Find someone who's used it. Or roll the dice

Had a friend tell me it tastes like the thing next to it.

THEN EAT THE THING NEXT TO IT. 

 

Also every time you order tofu some doped up kid in an old toyota hatchback drives recklessly and endangers other mountain motorists.

Yeah that's basically it. I don't see the point of putting something in a dish that adds nothing. Texture is bleh, there's no flavor, what's the point?

 

OH RIGHT THERE IS NONE.

 

Back to putting steak in meals.

Still not the worst thing though. I have a friend that puts feta cheese in EVERYTHING. I'd take tofu over that at least
