GraveYard Shift BS

The Hallmark motion ones are insane. My mom use to put up an 8ft tree with nothing but those. She also had enough Coca-Cola ornaments to have a separate tree

 

Sheesh lmao. I'm sure if we had more room for storage we'd have more decorations but I don't imagine we'd ever have that much lol

 

When my parent's sold the home I grew up in, they kept the adjacent lot(dad bought 2 lots so he could have a shop) b/c of needing the storage. I moved 30 Christmas trees out there. I think she brought 10 or more with them to the new house.

 

Could put up a new one every day of December
My wife insists on getting a real tree every year.

 

I think we may have had one once. I wanted to go cut one down, so my folks let me. I couldn't have been more than 7 or 8. That's the only time I remember a real one.

 

We never had a real one growing up. I now understand why. Shit's expensive. I think we paid ~$90 for our tree this year.
I keep telling my wife we can just get a fake one and save a ton of money. Won't have to water it, etc. etc. but she wants a real one

 

They make good fish "houses" in the ponds once you're done with them

 

I take mine over to my buddy and we chop it up in his back hard for him to use as firewood.

 

That works too

 

So... Who wants to stop me from buying a base model Audi and making it run 12s....

Then 11s when I swap the turbo...

 

I don't know anything about those...……...but I say do it

 

I think it really will be what I get. Reliable-ish 30 mpg awd runaround car I can tinker with.

Friend has an S3 (same engine, shorter gearing, bigger turbo) that runs 3.8 0-60 at 8k DA. so if I put the S3 turbo in the A3 (like a $700 upgrade) with basic bolt ons... Should be doing sub 4 0-60 at altitude which blows my mind

 

The only fast vehicle I have ever had was the GSXR. I pretty much drive like a grandpa now

 

Yeah, I don't have a lead foot at all in the taco (even if I did, not going anywhere at 8000 feet DA). But I do miss a quick car...

 

I don't think I ever had a quick car. Guess the 02 Grand Am would've been the closest to one?
Always thought I'd get in trouble if I had one.

 

My dad was gonna get me a 3000GT VR4(I had one for a weekend from a dealer friend of my uncle's) for my 17th bday....until my cousin told on me for running 130 up the interstate and he found out my insurance was gonna be 6K a year. I ended up with the T4R after that

Probably the fastest car I have ever driven was a C6(can't remember if it was a Z06 or ZR1) Vette my best friend bought when he graduated from Law school.

 

I know I would have

 

I probably still would...
I'm not super big on cars though, don't like being that low to the ground.
Prob just stick to Trucks/SUVs and the like

 

Same oh , you?


Merry Christmas Phil
