Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
Yeah, the 3G TLS cars are already approaching cult status. Give it a decade and they will be selling for what ITRs are selling today. They are simply the best mid size sports sedan Acura/Honda ever built. Style, weight, size and power are all just perfect. Even the 5AT is extremely competent, as it is an RL trans modified for FWD only use; it actually blips throttle on downshifts in manual mode, and in regular mode constantly downshifts as you are slowing down; kick downs are virtually instant...it will put you in first at 6K RPM if you floor it in 2nd.
On manuals in general. After 2 years with manual CLS, I was actually tired of it. Manual transmission doesn't work in US. I shifted 1-4 90% of the time when driving and my daily commute had one instance where I could downshift to 2nd before the turn. Then, the agony of getting stuck in traffic on I-10 and shifting 100s of times in/out of first is just not worth it. One day, I was doing a site visit to some projects in town...and I counted that I had to do over 400 first gear starts of the freeway. Zero fun.

Had it recently appraised... Holy f"<!

Speaking of "entertainment for men" - Musk's giant space dick just RUDed.
Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

I particularly liked the groups of employees cheering when it didn't blow up the expensive launch pad. That whole bit reminded me of how people react when around the Great Ruler in North Korea. Except they all appeared to be totally stoned.
As I have said numerous times: Jamie wants big boom!
Never gonna make you cry...

The framing on that dirty rag worth more than gold is immaculate Mike. What does your daughter do in movies? Is she in production? I'm just curious because I work in film production - though on the filthy advertising side of things. Have many friends on her side of the biz. Cheers!
