When google doesn't know, at least we have GT5:
Esto no está bien.
Been considering buying a "nice" DD (ie something that costs more that $3k). I've always been mildly fond of the C30, thought maybe I could abide another FWD, but... yikes.
i love my t5 v50 (same p1 platform). its pretty fast for a non-sporty car. with 500lbs less (c30) it'd be a hoot. add a $700 tune for 50hp and youd be in fun land.

My wife had one for a while. I really liked it. It was a blast for what it is and with the seats folded down in the back it was very spacious.
The only drawbacks I felt it had was it was pretty bad in the snow even with snow tires and the doors are like a mile long. My wife and I are 5.5’ and if we sat in the car and the door was all the way open we’d have a hard time reaching the handle to close it lol
Also, at least IMO, the interiors haven’t aged that great. The center consoles are a neat concept, but if you get a base model, they’re very plasticy

Did you guys know that @patsbimmer1 is a Bear's fan? He also thinks Soldier Field is a better looking stadium than Lambeau.
Can't believe I work with this guy.

First of all I didn't say it looks better, I said it doesn't look bad. What I said about Lambeau is that in spite of it's historical significance it is a fucking hideous stadium from the outside. Dingus disagreed with me due to his admitted unfounded hatred for Chicago and his blind love for everything green and gold. I stand by my claim that Soldier Field isn't as bad as people make it out to be and Lambeau is fucking ugly.

I think Lambeau WAS a lot MORE ugly than it is now. Therefore, the general consensus is that it looks good*
*better than before
Soldier field is effed over by it's location and being in Chicago. So many restrictions due to historical landmark, land/building locked etc. etc. All the new fancy multi trillion dollar stadiums don't have those restrictions. To compare the 2 is pretty tough.
I work with a bears fan as well. He hasn't been in a good mood lately. I'm a passive Packers fan. This year hasn't been of much interest to me with the pandemic restrictions and the pandering to social issues. Keep up with wins and losses is about it. Haven't watched a game this season yet.

if you build a stadium in a toilet bowl, even if its made of solid gold, you still have to wade through shit to get to it.
go pack go!

I think they just did a poor job of bringing it into the modern era. They actually have a great location being on the lakeshore and a stones throw from downtown.
The old colosseum look of it was cool, but it looks like the parked a spaceship on top of it.
It also holds like 62,000 people in one of the biggest metro areas in the country...

I will always have a soft spot for that thing ^
I'm glad I was able to beat on it once again after my initial stint with it. May it rest with dicks on the windshieldSide note: hit up Pat's brother in-legality for sweet ECS deals.

Lookin' at you 7th district...

I know politics is a sensitive subject and that some people are going to get their undies in a bundle, but seriously. Please stop.
As an older person, I'd love to get on board with conservatives, but your political party is currently full of wack jobs. Elections aren't decided by the courts or the legislature, they're decided by voters. If you change that, then it's not democracy.

very much agree that the current administration is undermining democracy. its very disheartening.
i have no problems with the losing side using due process to check the election results. important things should be double checked. recount it, sure.
but now the courts (which had a representation of democratic and republican judges) and election officials have all confirmed the results in that process. you have to accept it. the supreme court was stacked by the current administration and even they are confirming this is a baseless claim, with no facts to support it.
if you don't, you didn't learn how to lose in life, you're acting entitled and so you cry. possibly you don't have enough education to have learned critical thinking so you scream conspiracy. you might also be standing up for you side so you don't lose face which makes you gutless and a sheep (like many of the republican officials)
trump has jedi mind-tricked his followers to believe everything thing he says. i really wonder if there is a limit to that. if Trump tweeted tomorrow "I am the real Savior" I feel like his supporters might open some new churches or say Christianity is a hoax.

In lighter news...
Did rear brakes today. Passenger side went smooth. Drivers side had at least 1/4" more pad left than the other side which seemed odd, but whatever... Then I couldn't get the new pads to fit in the caliper. Spent a good 20 minutes trying and was starting to wonder if I'm actually mentally handicapped and everyone has just been too nice to say anything. The jury is still out on that, but the conclusion that I've come to is that the drivers-side caliper has been replaced and is the wrong caliper for a '94.
