That looks very good in the car. What do you think of the overall build quality/rigidity? I'm looking at braum's fixed bucket seats since the Turn One Cup seat i have is no longer in production (so i cannot find a matching passenger)

Just remember that she has your balls in her purse.

Try and change the bulb lol

As an alternative, I will say that the divorce worked pretty well for me in hindsight. I don't recommended it if you can avoid it though. Best of luck with the situation

Replacement mirrors and lenses are cheap. Even without comparing them to the cost of a female spouse. Much more so when you do. However, not so much when you factor in the insurance hike after an accident due to the hindered vision from the visor being down. At least her makeup looked good

Reminds me of ZCON 2017 when the kid who was doing the ride along attempted to take a snapchat mid corner (skip to 8:32)

The dragon is a piece of cake compared to the track. I with Jar, not much gets sick. My first year at ZDAYZ I had the business manager from Fast Intentions drive my car that first morning on the Dragon because I had a stomach bug. He kept asking me are you okay and I was like I'm fine go for it. When got back to Deal's gap for breakfast I ordered bacon, eggs, grits and toast and they were like you shouldn't do that. I said I hungry and if I don't eat I will get sick lol!

You are a bad *** my friend. I have done some low level flying in prop planes and helicopters surveying wildlife. Flying in bighorn sheep country is fun because you literally fly off the edge of the mountain and there is no bottom below you. I would sit with my leg out the door and my foot on the skids as my employees were puking in a bag. I had cancele a flight because the only two people that weren't puking due to sustained 30 mph winds was me and the pilot. What's funny is I used to make myself nauseous playing Halo LMAO!

Both of these I was able to pick up today. Steering wheel bought from an Ebay vendor, he had listed a carbon fiber one but I wanted leather. Exactly what I wanted. The headers are from SpeedForce. Had these sitting for a bit, finally had them coated and hopefully will put them on in the next month or so - at that point my exhaust will be done. God willing once spring time starts will concentrate on the intake side, along with a tune.

I could tell you a few stories from when I worked for the DoD.

I used to "commute" in Hueys. The one pilot I flown with. Wanted to fly fighter jets but couldn't make the cut. So they stuck him with flying Hueys. He used to take off and land like a airplane with the skids sparking going down the strip.

He also like chasing ducks on the water. He used to pitch the Huey forward with the blades almost touching the water.

I would send a PM to JohnnyDrama, he has been sitting in his for over a year and can give you a better opinion than I can at this point.
