I'm interested in building myself a Perendev motor (magnetic perpetual motion generator) and would certainly look into an EV if successful:
I think one of the main gripes against Tesla is the lack of DIY capability, availability of regular parts such as brake pads. Used to see those all over the road here 3-4 years ago, not so much anymore. Wonder what the big reason is...#sunyourballs

Musk would rear naked choke that kunt Bezos.
Yeah no DIY unless you want to immediately void your warranty, which on an EV is suicide lol. They seem cool as a novelty second vehicle but I dunno about using it as a main transport. Apparently if you get into a fender bender and need body work you're gonna be without it for months. The closest general repair facility to me is over an hour away.

In on tesla love train. The more i listen to Musk, the more i wish i could just have a beer and some oregano with him. Just seems like a chill dude who is smart as hell.
Pretty much convinced my next vehicle will be one. Just want to wait a couple of years for the big price drops to come. The more I read about the "quality" issues, they are there yes, but it's over the top snobby stuff where it's people want plastic colors to 100% match, doors to align perfectly, etc. Im a car guy, but the uber nerds like that always annoyed me. Also, last time i actually did the calcs, with no off peak discounts or anything, a "Tank" of gas for me (for 300 miles or so) would be something around $3.
Also cant deny how ridiculously quick they are for the price. The Model 3 is ~55K and 0-60 in 3.1 seconds. That's stupid performance for that level of coin.MFC

Agree with TVK on the performance side. It's silly really what they can do.
I'm not a huge fan of the looks of the 3, but can't deny the tech is really cool. There are now 2 charging stations walking distance from my house. I've considered an S as a second/fun vehicle, but for the S price, think I'd rather pick up a used S8, CTS-v, 911, etc.You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Thanks guys. I’ll start a new program tonight. I figured there was something wrong.
Buddy has a Tesla from the beginning of the Tesla days. They are fukkin cool. Get one because of that. Any other reason is dumb.
When you guys bang it out in the middle of the night, is it onto the sleeping wife, or? Need to figure out the game plan before I execute or I’ll get distracted...Last edited by Fawnl; 02-25-2021 at 06:21 PM.

Want.
I’ve been one nudge from buying one for about the last year. With the recent shift in exchange rate I’ve built one online 10 times in the last month.
If I was in Texas I’d have one by now, you don’t have your $2000 windshield blasted with salt and rock chips 5 months a year.------♥♥-----

You guys act like there is always a willing participant around... he’s asleep, focused on work, not here, blah blah blah. We had the rape talk in here didn’t we?!?! Are your wives always willing? Am I still in the geezer group or have a landed somewhere else in the misc again?
I might be joining the new car club. My Sheila isnt going to last forever... which is sad, I love her. So I’m looking at an AWD Subaru WRX https://www.caronauto.ca/certified/S...af7522bdb.htm#
Looorddddd would I have fun in that. Problem is the dogs man. 2 dogs, 2 kids and my stereo equipment won’t fit in there. And that’s without the stupid luggage.Squats and Maple syrup son. Squats and Maple syrup.

Right, I don't always have a willing participant around. Many times I am annoyed with the willing participant, so off I go on my own.

gotta be honest. Haven't baited in a long, long time. Always have a willing participant and if it's a certain time of the month, I just wait and unload the first opportunity I get.

It would. I’d have a blast driving that car around. But maybe I should go full rally car and get the Impreza WRX. I don’t know. I have a bit if a speeding problem. My last ticket, I got told that if I got another one I have to go for that course where they teach you not to be a dick anymore or you will lose your license.
I talked to Matt last night and we PIITB. Then he woke up 1/2 an hour later and banged me again so... marriage is hard to navigate. Hes so buried from work that I didn’t want to put any more weight of “I’m not doing enough at home” on his shoulders, like Eng said. I guess me sitting on his shoulders is ok though.Squats and Maple syrup son. Squats and Maple syrup.

Our sex drives at home are still pretty normal or high, just a matter of timing. We try to average once a week or more but not always possible. We're usually in bed shortly after the kids are during the week, but weekends aren't that great after the beer.
Speaking of, no beer this weekend...and the no/lo-carb has been more brutal to me than not eating for 4 days straight. Slept 9 hours last night and woke up feeling like I was hung over.
On a completely different note, one of my bros just texted me and said he's set a date to get married. Been with the same girl for years, but there's a catch. She's a good 15 years older and is a literal grandma. She's nice and all and their personalities match but, just a little weird. To top it off, he asked me to be in it, I've gone my whole adult life without having to be in a wedding other than my own. Not going to object and will accept his offer but don't exactly know what to say. What do geezers#sunyourballs

I also woke up feeling like I had a wicked hangover but I don’t know why. I drank last night but it’s not like I had 30... I thought I was gonna chaunch.
As for brudder, the heart wants what the heart wants. You can be 36 and a grandmother. All you have to say is “of course I’ll be in your wedding”. Fukk else are you supposed to do? You could get down on one knee and make a little paper ring that says YES on it... that’s something I would do, I don’t recommend it. Most things I do are pretty fukked up.Squats and Maple syrup son.

Dang Geezers, guess I am on the opposite spectrum. It is rare to NOT have sexxors daily. Almost like we have to explain why if we don't want to. Unless I am sleeping in another room or house of course.
Fawn- get the WRX if that is an option. Otherwise the cars are really boring. I have had 2 WRXs, then a Turbo 5spd Outback (when they made them). Much fun.
And ugh....inlaws in town. They now know about the relationship problems. MIL basically forced herself down here in concern (she is always in charge). When she got here she fist bumped me and kept walking. So awkward. I don't think they like me anymore. Now we sit and play nice.US Army 1998-2020

So... do you guys have great sex, but not good everything else? Where do you stay when the in laws are there? The rental? I wish my MIL would fist bump me. In your position, I’d be nowhere in sight if my in-laws were coming. Fukk that.
As for the car, I’m looking for the WRX STI. The more I look the more I’m like... if I’m going to spend that much money, I’m going to get what I want. Which is either the WRX STI or the Mitsubishi EVO, but they don’t make them anymore. And I have a hard time swallowing $30k for a 2006 EVO.Squats and Maple syrup son. Squats and Maple syrup.

I always thought we had good sex. but then again I see sex like pizza. Even mediocre pizza is pretty good. It was always available and we both have a pretty high drive. It has changed though. I am horney and want sex, but I am less enthused about it and it hasn't felt great. There is a difference between being turned on and being stimulated. Of late, I have just been stimulated but not turned on. It's hard for me to finish.
I stayed at the main house. I wanted to show her mom I still have my nuclear family and didn't want her controlling or getting in the middle, even though she tried while she was here. This is my turf.US Army 1998-2020

Ahhhh... so you all played nice and you made it clear that you are still there and the man of the house/family. The mental games we have to play and choices just to get through life is nuts... they are gone now though?
I get the sex thing too. I have a really hard time being turned on when Matt and I aren’t connecting. That’s when the pizza is really ****ty. Again, so much work. Why can’t the grass just be green on my side without me having to water and **** on it?Squats and Maple syrup son. Squats and Maple syrup.

I could be wrong, but I feel like if you guys were good mentally, the weight might not affect you as much. And it doesn’t sound bad. You have a right to your feels and to your preferences. I’ve gained weight and it’s turned Matt into a a 2 pump yogurt dispenser and if you say anything dirty, even just encouraging like “right there”, it’s over. This is why I think he likes the fatties. I sure don’t like it though...
Sweet deal 5x10!!! That’s awesome. Much more acceptable than being eng and buying a mustang for when the kids start driving... mind you, a truck might be tough to learn on.Squats and Maple syrup son. Squats and Maple syrup.
