The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XV

kenchan · 11-10-2014, 12:49 PM

my basement rc track's walls are made of double corrugated cardboard with recycled packing materials sandwiched between the rc track walls and basement wall so the impacts are absorbed. but even so, high speed will break parts.

but why drive a rc car slow.

it's like having a hobby car and just keeping it garaged all week and all winter. completely useless.

oh wait..

im running an older thinkpad at work which is the model before the wonky big trackpad that moves when you click

I was showing the neighbor hood children how to drive under cars

car..

oh noes!

i hate it when old lady drives erratically on the streets. it should be illegal. hope she has insurance. she's obviously buying you a new one, correct?

If you could fix up your Z/G as cheap and easy as RC cars would you DD them?

My machine is not bad -- it is lightning-fast, but I am not a fan of the keyboard feel.

unbelievable. dogdamn old lady.

i hope you at least punctured her tires with your rc car.

my younger kid's really digging the rc truck im lending him.

he wants to get one for himself to build and mod and stuff. i talked to his mom (my wife) about it and she was okay with it, as long as it fits his budget.

i told her, my repairs start at $5000/hr.

That's like dealer rates if they were actually competent

kenchan · 11-10-2014, 01:00 PM

was at the j-bookstore over the weekend and checked out the new honda vert they're planning to release. i think it was called the s1000 or something. pretty cool (on paper). will need to see wat it looks like in real life. its supposed to compete directly with the new perverted snake peeking through wall aka new miata.
