[QUOTE=Tha big kahoona;1505190081]Well, finally decided on what my project car is going to be, and i'm stoked! I don't know why it didn't hit me earlier, because it's always been at the top of my bucket list. I think i just considered it unobtanium, because i already had a dedicated track car and so it slipped my mind.

Caterham 420R. Hnnnnnnng. Same color scheme as the below pic. The bad news.... they only produce about 500 a year, and there's literally just 1 more slot available for this year, which has a delivery date of next March. At this point i don't know if i'll get the slot. I'm hoping to find out today, or Sunday at the latest. Would be a lifelong dream come true, because i've wanted a Caterham since i was about 6 years old and thought it was the coolest thing i've ever seen. Still think it is, and the fact that it is blindingly quick is just a nice bonus

Would happily dropkick a baby if it got betwixt me and my Caterham

So, it's been 5 years. This place is still ****, reddit became even ****tier, still huslting gmos. Because this is r and p, still a libertarian atheist.

Some questions.
Did Syriankid die fighting for Isis?
Was danny23/irriginalized the pulse nightclub shooter? First thing I thought of last year, self hating, closeted gay, Islamic terrorist. Not many of those around.
Yardgorilla, survived blm?
Mtbkedude, what's up?
ChristianYouth, also what's up?

Chinese food to go please.

them names, blast from the past. to me Syriankid is either quietly working a desk job or dodging bullets in Syria. No in-between.

/e oh yeah, and I hope Bahai Lifter is alright - as in, god willing he didn't go to Iran and get himself arrested or something like that.

Netflix Yes!

Think danny still posts occasionally, hasn't yet come out of the closet or recognised the cognitive dissonance between being a neocon who wants to live under Sharia law.

[QUOTE=VAPlowhorse;1505549031]

He still shows up once every 3-4 months.

Nope, still self hating closeted gay terrorist. Haha.

[quote]Yardgorilla, survived blm?[/quote]

Haven't seen him post in R/P but I think I've caught his name in regular misc.

Still here but not posting as often lately

Gone.

I just watched the IG video of Salt Bae grinding up some legit kobe NY strip into a one pound burger. Horrifying.

That's some Dorian Gray level ****.

His gourmet burgers are legit the best burgers you will ever taste. The man is a magician, and i won't stand for your less than agreeable tone about him.

ps: it's not legit kobe beef as you say. There was no such thing as real kobe beef in the US until late 2012. They were not allowed to be exported, and so all the kobe beef you've ever had was actually kobe style beef. In 2013 they allowed very limited exports, and in the US there are only 9 restaurants that have real kobe beef, and they rarely have any in stock. ***** has one restaurant that serves it, and it isn't Salt Bae's.

I saw the marbling on the steak and got scared.

You should be scared. The end product will floor you. This is what it looks like:

I would finish that before I knew what happened. It looks like a burger blackout experience.

Anybody here use a ped0meter or some kind of fitness tracker to monitor daily activity/sleep?

Trying to make these numbers my daily goal. I figured if i could increase my daily activity/NEAT/NEPA, i can eat more food. I like food

Put the money down on the Caterham. It's officially mine when it arrives in March

Yes, not FitBit, but I use something. I hit half those steps, usually. Not counting lifting, boxing, wrestling, etc. But actual feet on the pavement I do about 11k a day.

Those your stats?

Buying it is the easy part, now you got to put it together...and after you put it together...you remember about that one nut you forgot to put loctite on while in a decreasing radius corner at the edge of adhesion...

J/K. Pics on progress of build will be req'd.

Those things are not accurate for the money that they cost. I got a "fit" bracelet, and the tech is pretty mediocre; certainly not the manner in which it is represented. Any step count is divided so that I'm not overestimating my daily count. Heart rate is also not accurate and sleeping pattern "calculations" are unnecessary/a marketing ploy.
You're better off just amping up your workouts, when you DO workout, IMO.

Yeah mine. I keep it on all day so that includes weight lifting

You're probably right about that, but it doesn't concern me. I don't look at the numbers in absolute forum, but as a benchmark to keep finding more ways to be more active. e.g. i don't care that i walked X steps today, just that it's more than yesterday

Thanks guise. Lifelong dream come true for me. The wait until next March is gonna be a killer

[QUOTE=Tha big kahoona;1505748511]Thanks guise. Lifelong dream come true for me. The wait until next March is gonna be a killer[/QUOTE]

I think March onward will be a killer lmao. I wouldn't mind putting a chopper together, but I would just buy a ready made car like that. Good luck.

Fair enough. The only reason I'd mentioned what I did was that, there have been a couple class action lawsuits against Fitbit (and, I'm assuming, similar brands/tech) in the past. But, if you feel like it will help you; by all means.

So what's new since I've been gone? misc and R/P seem to have outlived their days of glory... makes me sad. :(

This guy Im working with needed cash bad. Apparently there are companies out there that will loan money against government pensions. Fast money with no credit check, but got damn. $850 per month for 5 years, for a $5,000 loan. I had to read it over at least 3 times to believe it. No way to pay it off early. Holy christ. And its against a military pension, this guys a veteran.

Im a little pissed.

Yep. They get their money back in 6 months, and then its 4.5 years of profit
