  1. It isn’t a toy and you’re having a tough time finding a 997 that fits the bill you might consider a cayman s. There should be many nice ones in that price range. That said, I’d rather have a 911 that had been driven a good bit. Those are the cars that have few problems and stay on the road. The garage queens that never get driven are the ones that generally become troublesome. As for BMW, I am a former multi car BMW owner: 1998 540i, 1996 325, 2006 x5 v8, 2013 x5m, and a few others. The x5m and the 2006 x5 ensures I will never, ever buy another of their vehicles under any circumstances. That isn’t really analogous to an E46 m3, but I don’t trust them at this point. E46 is one of the best looking cars ever made.
  2. Fished under the bridge on 331 leading to 30A in Rosemary a couple of weeks back. Torn them up one day. Caught several slot reds, a 50lb black drum, a really nice blue fish that a rather large fucking bull shark devoured as we were about to net the thing, and some jacks. That was all on one day. Went out two days later to big ass fish fail. There was a storm rolling in and it was just brutal fishing.
  3. I have ohmss in my top 4. Casino Royale, FRWL, Dr No, OHMSS, skyfall, thunderball and FYEO. I’m probably the only one who has a roger Moore bond in my top 10, but dam I loved for your eyes only.
  4. The HEB brand jalapeño corn ships slay. That said, the best flavored corn chips by a long margin are Paquis. Got damn they’re good. All of them. Those ghost pepper ones are not for the timid. Thats said, Uncle Julio’s still reigns supreme frito cc went to shit a while back, sadly
  5. That shit is more burnt orange than ours.
  6. Breakfast at the brockton villa overlooking the ocean is always good. If you want an insane dinner experience Addison restaurant at the grand Del mar hotel is a Michelin star rated place and he beat meal I’ve ever had. That hotel is also the nicest hoteL I’ve ever stayed in. Great place. Good golf course on property too.

    TexMex

    It’s always been extremely overpriced and overrated. Go to the last concert instead. Better food and the people aren’t dicks.
  8. Shinedown is great live. Brent’s voice is freaking amazing live. Guy just effortlessly kills it. Their stripped down version of simple man is must see.
  9. I waa at the show too. Largely agree. I was there mostly to see bush and they played really well. They’re always high energy and are great. That said, to me, the biggest surprise was the cult. Thought they sounded great. I had no expectations for them, and was blown away. They were really great. Ian’s voice sounds exactly like it did in the 80’s which really shocked me. Thought STP was fine, but clearly not as dynamic as they were with weiland. New guy does a nice job, but it’s just not the same. I’d say they’re about 80% of what they once were. Still a great catalog and the new guy does fine, but cleverly doesn’t have the range nor presence weiland had, few do. Grear show overall.
  10. Crazy as this sounds i had solid Bbq at Pappas bbq in the woodlands yesterday. I went to the stp/cult/bush concert and stopped there before the show. Mostly due to i don’t ever go up there, didn’t have a plan, and saw a sign for it. With no other real options or plan I pulled in. I order the beef trio which was brisket, beef rib, and beef sausage. The sausage was mostly terrible, but i drenched it in tangy sauce and made it edible. The beef ribs and brisket were both above avg. I didn’t expect that. Solid. Not spectacular by any means, but certainly not bad in a pinch. It was solidly better than Rudy’s.
  11. I rewatched it for the third time about a year ago and thought it was better than the two previous viewings. I thought it was groundbreaking in format giving us just enough action/killing/etc to get the pulse up, but was way more about character development and a deep dive into Tony’s life. It was the format that many other great shows have followed since, breaking bad, justified, Bosch, etc. I get it was a bit stereotypical of Italian organized crime. I get that some find that genre boring. I am not one of those people. I find it fascinating.
  12. I think he realized he didn’t want to work for anyone in some boring ass capacity, and realized right away that his scam artist inner self is now refined enough to take it to the masses as a trial lawyer. When he went back to give them the hard sell was his final audition. I hope/think we see Saul very very soon.
  13. All well deserved and earned, Champ. If you haven’t been by you’re missing out. One thing that you will notice is champ loves what he’s doing. It shows in his hospitality and comes through in his food. He’s giving you everything he’s got. It’s been a pleasure to see how his food and pitmaster skills have evolved from his pitnaster days at pappa Charlie to now being on his own. I can tell you his skills are well polished and his food is consistently great at this point. Get over there and see for yourself.
  14. I had some of the smoked pork belly, and some pork belly burnt ends yesterday that were both better than anything any of you assholes had for lunch. Brisket was again perfect. I try to limit my carb intake, but broke the deal yesterday for some of champs potato salad. It’s some of the best you’ll ever have. Love the greens too. We all know about the beans at this point. You all get over there and support this venture. It’s absolutely top notch and worth your time. Oh...almost forgot to mention the fact that as good as the pork belly specials and brisket were, the ribs were probably the best thing yesterday. I’m not a huge rib guy either. That in no way diminishes how perfect the brisket was. It was great. Those ribs were special yesterday.
  15. It was fine. One thing is the show is very different from what I expected. I thought after season one jimmy would be Saul going forward and I thought we’d see much more of him with crazy clients and that whole dynamic. I did not think it would take 3 seasons of the chuck bullshit to settle that. Looking back, what a waste of time. That shit needed to be wrapped up in about 6-8 episodes max. I don’t need tons of action and such, but i do need interesting chRacter development and story arch. The jimmy/chuck one wasn’t 3 seasons interesting. Not sure how anyone can make the argument it was. That said, I’m in and excited chuck is gone and we can see where this goes. I still expect great things and love Saul/mike/cartel/ pollos/Gus / salamaca, etc.
  16. These little league bats are complete trash. Mizuno made the best one this year by a wide margin. A very wide margin. Unfortunately, they were always sold out or out of stock which was pretty important because my son Cracked two of them. After he broke the second one we couldn’t find a Replacment anywhere and mizuno has stopped making them for 2018.
  17. I’m catching up on this. Made it to episode 5. Gosh. This thing is terrible. No wonder it was shit canned so quickly.
  18. Went yesterday in Rosemary beach and stayed under the bridge the connect 331 and eventually 98. Caught a bunch of redfish, most of them were 16-18 inches. Caught two over 24. Caught an absolutely massive black drum (50 pounds). Son caught a nice bluefish that a really big bull shark devoured as we were about to net the bluefish into the boat. That was a hell of a sight. Heading back out on Friday.
  19. Good luck flying home!
  20. Just flew into pcb from Dallas and assualted a flight attendant, and then locked yourself in the bathroom? You’re delaying my flight back to Houston and I gotta work tomorrow. Turn yourself in to the cops who are waiting. When you sober up please go drink a gallon of bleach. Thanks. Flerda/Dallas, grow up.
  21. That’s way more reliable than my x5m ever dreamed of being. It once spent 243 consecutive days in the shop. That thing was like owning a boat two happy days the day I got it and the day i got rid of it New 911 coming soon. https://jalopnik.com/2020-porsche-911-here-it-is-way-before-you-re-supposed-1828036559
  22. Look solid. Will check it out.
  23. The fact that cruise did all the stunts for this is incredible. Great flick too. Dude is crazy, but mad respect for him.
  24. Ohio is the Florida of the rust belt.
  25. Heading to Rosemary on Friday. Hope for good weather as im supposed to fish and dive a few days.
