They're actually the Camaro's roofline and quarters.

Christ, I can't stomach yellow cars.

I am not huge on the Camaro's tail lights or rear defuser.

I am huge on everything about that Trans Am.

I friggin' LOVE the Camaro's tail lights. Classic Chevy quads, but modern and clean and not another Corvette lookalike.

The diffuser is definitely meh, primarily because it doesn't actually diffuse jack s***. I'd probably paint mine body color or get rid of it completely.

Wait 5 more years. :bigthumb:

I may well replace the LS8 with a G8 GXP after that amount of time. New cars are for saps.

EDIT:
HEY! PHPBB puts smileys at the cursor instead of determinedly adding them to the end of the post! HOORRAAY.

good morning all,

MOD I'm finally getting a chance to play sprit tracks, so far I find it too easy and the controls way too cumbersome.

So Ive decided to replay Tingles happy fun rose coloered rupee land, much more enjoyable

i never noticed that. sweet. it also places the cursor in between the brackets when you click the img/url/bold/italic/etc buttons instead of leaving the cursor after them. i like that. a lot. i'm easily pleased.

morning peeps

so... yesterdays crossfit workout was super weak... all the normal class was using ALL of the barbells, so we could even do real deadlifts, which was the focus of the days workout... ya. Guess who was using all the barbells? the normal class. that pays $50 less a month. I'm going to have to have a discussion with my trainer and get my a** out of this lame a** beginner class. Sorry, i'm not paying that much money for a gym, to p**** foot around with middle aged out of shape douche bags, who are HAPPY that we can't do the planned workout because it looks intimidating. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I feel the same way about Spirit Tracks (and Phantom Hourglass). Too easy, and the controls just add needless complication without adding anything of value. I never finished it...stopped playing late in the game. Partly, the time consuming train baddie-avoidance sections later started wearing on me...all that time investment and if you screw up you have to start over again. I don't know why Nintendo couldn't just do a classic 2D style Zelda...I can't think of a Zelda fan who would be put off by that.

Speaking of Zelda, I'll try and remember to post up some awesomeness when I get home.

I still need to buy a copy of Rosey Rupeeland.

Oh, and on the subject of Nintendo stuff...
I finished Super Metroid for the first time ever yesterday. Mother Brain is nowhere NEAR as difficult to beat as gorram PHANTOON. I f*** HATE phantoon.

And I picked up one of these yesterday, too (in black, of course):
Image
It's nice, but:
--The Z and L/R buttons are upside down (z is below L and R, not above them like the GCN controller)
--And, bizarrely, the analog L/R buttons (like found on the Wavebird) are nowhere to be found. No analog, no digital "notch" at the end. Just regular digital buttons. I haven't had a chance to try the controller with Brawl to see if that's a problem. I use my Wavebird for Brawl anyway...but it seems weird to ditch a feature.

Oh, and Raphael should be delivered tomorrow based on UPS tracking. Also, talked to our fourth turtle last night and I think he's still planning on hitching a ride with me to Carlisle. :fistpumping:

MOD your avatar makes me LOL every time I see it.

In other news, I posted this in Nala's Carlisle thread but figured I'd post it here too, I might be able to roll up to Carlisle with you guys when you roll into Philly to meet up with Greg and Becky. There's a good chance that the Philly PD written test has been pushed back from May 8th to June 26th, if this is true then I'll totally caravan up there with you guys.

SO SHINY. It was insanely hard to get even those shots. I have more, but haven't hung them yet. Got a Metroid one that needs a frame, too.

Also hung this one a couple days ago:

Done. I'd piss on his car too just to see him cry about it, but that breaks one of the rules I live by. No matter how funny it is, I can't do it.

I finally discovered a decent storebought salsa! Herdez. Most of the label is in spanish, but I'm not sure if that's an attempt to seem authentic or not. Anyway, it's still nowhere near as good as the salsa my dad makes (with homegrown ingredients) but it's a hell of a lot better than friggin' pace and the like.

Yes, I have been eating this almost exclusively lately. I don't have the garden at my place to make fresh stuff, and this is honestly good salsa at a very reasonable price.
