Caffeine is no match for genetics...

But, still...you should go get some matcha and drink it straight, dammit!

which brings me to my next question....am not a coffee snob and I just enjoy a nice bold cup of coffee in the morning without much hassle....so what coffee should I be getting....you guys got some brands/etc what you like?

I will be honest, I dont even mind the Ronnoco coffee which we brew at work...
Lemme know how that works for you, been eyeing it as well.

I have a single serve machine at home from brookstone. But can't use large cups with it.

^^^ that goes without saying for ya haha....you dont really need caffeine, just visit the Just Body thread in the morning, that will get you going (works for me )



I sure will let you know....

I read a single serve "match up" recently and the Bunn O-matic MCU came up on top...but reading reviews of it, I read its a pain to clear it....

from what I read for the Hamilton beach FLEX and One Scoop, I decided to go with the one scoop...will definitely let you know how it works for me...

Yep, he sure did. Again, what part of the-car-is-loco-to-drive does people not understand...?

The CGT is essentially a bare-bones supercar with NOTHING to correct a slight twitch...so, if you even lose a moment of concentration, wheeeeeeeee...


I'm tempted to slap that thread into Car Talk...but, it's got enough stupidity to keep it in Ramblings too.

You do know how "she" posts things, right? Hours Googling under key terms (and often sometimes forgetting to give it a time-range and so, something CURRENT)...and then posting the first thing she sees.




Anyhow, I digress...that's a discussion I have offline with other moderators. Sit back and enjoy the drama...

Brought to you today by the letter Q...and the number 69. And Yumcha.

My dampers were cooked like 3 years ago. I also had a failed attempt at some cheap ones for the S recently. Made the hood bow up when installed...immediately shipped back to seller.

Bought some racing hart wheels wrapped in nittos last night. Not sure how they'll look but they were dirt cheap. 34.50.

my attention to detail knows no bounds.

Hey guise...I looked everywhere for my stability control button in the S2000 and can't find it. I haven't driven it since the Paul Walker accident for fear of something similar occurring. Am I being too cautious?

You guys buying OE dampers? I need to replace the front dampers on both cars and the rear dampers on the X. Stay the fuck up you SOB! I look like a damn hillbilly with a 2x4 holding you up!

I did OEM...

and trust me, bruh...if you saw me driving the S, you'd be proud. I haven't yet had 1 drive where I don't purposely lose it and go slightly sideways. It's just what makes me happy.

Betty says that if I do a doughnut in the rain with the S, I better make sure to have a towel on the seat or she'll leave me a brown surprise. Although, now she told me so it's not really going to be a surprise.

So do we, although it's been a while. Apples and pineapple are the key. They make it taste decent.

Well, I had a full-retard moment just last year...We were in Banff and driving there is an absolute joy esp. on the windy mountain roads.

So, I decided to hooligan-it up the Mount Norquay road and was hitting 55-70MPH on twisties...I had disabled all of the controls on the car just to enjoy the ride more...I hit a part where the road does a giant U with no railings (not that it would've mattered because if I did lose it, I would've crashed through and down the mountain) and almost lost control. Spun out too...

We could smell the rubber from inside. Leg was shaking...I say "Oops."

Wife demands that I pull over and barks at me to step outside of the car. I get the riot act read to me...Kinda embarrassing though esp. when cars passed by and slowed down to observe WTF is going with the Asian couple at the side of the road with a red-faced woman screaming at her husband.
