1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I remember the Ranger and the Exploder coming with some pretty cool looking Bullet hole wheels. Just looked them up, they were 14" and 15" wheels. That won't work

 

You could powedercoat some Marauder wheels. Those looked pretty cool. Think they were 18s

 

555s are what I ran on my GLI for track days. Damn good tires

 

Big Danzig fan, eh? I’m somewhat indifferent towards them. Don’t really like them but I don’t hate them.

 

You drive at COTA?

 

@JakeJake

 

I haven't tracked in like 6 years now. Lots of surgeries the last 2 years I was in the Navy that kept me from driving. But I used to run at VIR, Lowes international, Richmond Speedway, NYS Test Track, Watkins Glen and a multitude of drag tracks from Maryland to Southern North Carolina. Always wanted to the the Road of America in Georgia but ships schedule always got in the way with open track days and weekends.

 

Solid list there.

 

3 things I learned from hobbist racing
1 most people have no clue how to drive their cars and public roads are a hazard cause of it
2 there will always be an asshole or groups of assholes who want to shit on everyone else's cars cause they drive a BMW, usually, or a mustang. Young Vette drivers also fit this category. Also enter the "My cars more German than yours" story I have
3 when you explain to people that you can drive they generally have zero clue what you mean or straight don't believe you.

Oh and 4 your buddies are not your buddies during lap count races..... Lol

 

4 is most valuable. we pit maneuvered my buddy on his birthday when we went go carting a couple months ago haha.

2 are the worst drivers point blank period.

 

I'm sure you know this, but for future readers, Don't put those door cards back on until you've thoroughly tested the function of those new door lock actuators.
Sucks when something pops off & the door won't unlock & you have to destroy the door card to get in the door to unlock it to fix it.

 

With Saab it was a trade, but you could visit it on display.

 

Here in CT the city/town charges "road use tax" based on the car value - on top of all the usual vehicle extortion by the state.

 

Dayum, mines been a walk in the park .. so far.

 

CT charges you for an exterior hose spigot. Seriously, I connect my hose just inside the basement door. Stupid, so ridiculously stupid.

 

In the 3 examples of tundras doing this yes it has been taken back for deconstructed RnD which apparently they've learned nothing from cough cough TT V6s and free milling samples

 

Oh, that is one thing we still have in CT. Bought a car from my sister for $2 & they accepted it.

 

nah, keep it stealth. It keeps people getting out of your way cause they're just not sure.
rRms like that & they're F.U. & stay put.

 

Count your blessings, I hope you never need to look up the meanings of any 2- or 3-letter disorders

There's still one or two companies that make 16" and 17" 10-hole/12-hole alloys. I swore Procomp did, but it's looking like they're only 8-hole.

 

For anyone who ever wanted to hear what an open-header 2UZ-FE sounds like. And Sarah's pretty cute too.

Counting how long before the "THAT'S NOT A CHICK, DUDE" comments begin. Because we apparently can't post links to pics of SNT's channel on here without someone trying to warn you or something, because that's super important to them or something.

I enjoy the content. IDGAF about anything else. People gonna live their life, I think "mind your own f'n business" applies, yadda yadda.

EDIT: 16 minutes. It takes roughly 16 minutes.

Yeah she's a he bro

But so we're clear that didn't stop me from following that build. It's a beautiful car. He did a really good job with it. The attention detail made it look about as factory OEM as you could have asked for it to be for it not being that

 

Well, I'll be. Fucking convincing. Doesn't matter, I too enjoy the content. Some cool builds and decent reviews.

 

You're right, it doesn't matter. And the content is good. I genuinely don't understand why anyone gives a shit what's in someone else's pants. Especially someone on YouTube, that they'll never meet without making a valid attempt. But there's always someone that's just GOTTA warn you about it.

Once upon a time, it was "the norm" to mind your own business. I guess we've lost that thought process if it's business we don't agree with. I don't condone or support one way or another, especially when it's not hurting anyone else, so I'm not one to say.

No offense, criticism, or slight intended on my commentary. Consider it more of an observation of something I've noticed than anything else. My comments don't mean shit and my love of each and every one of you fuckers has changed exactly 0%.

 

When My mother gave us the Ferd Edge I told the SOS (Secretary of State) it was gifted and paid nothing. First and only time I'll ever get to skate on that.

 

Every time I see or hear Brittney Griner on TV, I think the same.

 

Don't you drive a Tesla...... Just asking for context of my next statement.

 

Don't forget Big Mike and Lady GooGoo
