It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

Also, YOLO.

So I have been seeing this a lot lately (haven't seen it since the old Top Gear skit), and figured I'd buy a case for a friend that likes energy drinks and maybe distribute them among friends. The reviews are surprisingly good, although I'm not so partial to grapefruit. My thing is that I have increased heart ectopics when I have too much caffeine, so this might just work for me. I've never had an energy drink, but I plan to try this one.

No accidents on the Carfax, but when I asked for paint readings over half the car had been repainted.
Never used a paint reader before. How do you know what is OEM levels or is it if the readings vary significantly from panel to panel?

I have an old Skynyrd “Street Survivors” original issue with the flames surrounding the band. The terrible plane crash occurred just after the release of the album. They pulled those copies from the shelves and re-issued the same cover minus the flames.

I have the same album. Great album. Did not know about the alternate cover after the crash.

I`m not an expert on paint readings, but from my understanding, OEM paint thickness is usually between 3.5-6 mils. And yes, factory readings can vary between panels even within the same panel.

On the Nissan r35 apparently they even skimped on paint to (I assume) try to keep weight down. Those suckers are thin thin.

That`s why they are so fast. I guess it`s all about weight reduction

Quad Lock wireless charging pad for my iPhone. Between this and my Quad Lock wireless charging mount in the car, it should make it easier to keep the phone charged.

My wife will be happy to hear that. As it is she drives too fast in her Z. Now she’ll really step on it. 😹

It's nearly impossible to buy Bumbu XO here so I checked in New Brunswick while on a road trip earlier this week. I bought three of the four bottles available in the whole province. The fourth was in another city that was way out of my way or I would have bought it too.

In recognition that Covered Bridge potato chips are going to become extremely hard to find in the near future I popped out this morning to grab some to fill the cupboard. These are to be brought out only for special occasions.
