Ced Wilson won me a championship. Just like I drew it up.

In my third league that does two-week matchups and ends the season on the last week…… I’m in the championship and options are limited. Decided to start Dak since he was playing and seemingly a decent amount according to reports. Also threw in Cedrick Wilson over Tyler Boyd at flex, since no matter what he seemed to be a lock for a lot of playing time. Well, those were good decisions.

Nice! Looks like a juvenile Cooper’s to me.

At some level, we don’t know. But on another, the teams that have the best correlation from CAD -> wind tunnel -> track will be in the best shape. Mercedes is typically the best here. Red Bull is obviously good too, but typically not quite on the level of Mercedes. Ferrari I think just got a new wind tunnel, so we are yet to see how their correlation will be with it. There is a budget cap, but the teams with efficient development (related to above) will still be in the best shape. Power unit wise, the manufacturers are having to build them for use with E10 this year. Since E10 has less energy density, it needs more fuel flow, and the combustion chambers will have to be reshaped a bit. They can gain some power back with more aggressive engine tuning as well, since E10 does have a higher octane rating too. All that said, it is possible that someone could step up and challenge, but for my money I’ll still take Mercedes’ at the top, with Ferrari and Red Bull just behind. The aero regulations are actually pretty tight, so I don’t know that we will see all that much innovation. I don’t know for sure, but I’m excited to see the cars.

Not really. I think all LXs came with the active height control suspension, and it was only an option on the LCs. Many people replace it with regular suspension. This is also a thing with GXs. My dad has a GX but has regular suspension on it.

You can still find some high mileage J100 LX470s under $20k. Maybe some LCs too, but they go for a little more than their Lexus brethren. They will all have 150k plus on them, though. You can also look for 4th gen 4Runners and Lexus GX470s. They are the same thing, but the Lexus is nicer inside, and they are all AWD/V8, whereas only the 4Runner limited had that combo.

Yeah, this happened to me once, too. I had a WTF moment there.

Or

I think my favorite is either: “Where’d get the pistol?” “At the gettin’ place.” Or “What do we circulate? Looking for a man who has recently drunk milk?”

Anywhere not in your pocket, where it’ll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin. …….which it is.

Those are some great pickups. I guess this thread is pretty dead, huh. I’ll list some recent acquisitions, too. Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue UHQR The Doors - AP copies of L.A. Woman and Morrison Hotel Kenny Dorham - Quiet Kenny RSD mono Elvin Jones - Heavy Sounds, Japanese issue from the 70s. This one is hard to find in general. Curtis Amy - Katanga! (Tone Poet) Beatles - first UK press of Sgt. Pepper’s (bargain priced one that is actually pretty solid) Ryo Fukui - TTL Scenery reissue Freddie King - AP copy of Getting Ready (which is still in stock for $35, a steal!) Explosions In The Sky - Big Bend 13th Floor Elevators - A OG 45 of You’re Gonna Miss Me Nirvana - the 30th anniversary Nevermind that included a bonus 7”. This one got a lot of hate because with wasn’t analog but it’s actually not bad at all, and the jacket is a gatefold tip-on, the nicest it’s ever been. Baby Huey - The Baby Huey 2018 RSD AAA reissue Eddie Hazel - the recent reissue of Game, Dames, and Guitar Thangs (grabbed the Zia records version) Gram Parsons - ‘74 OG of Grievous Angel

The best site there is Guale 2, but it is pretty coveted so likely unavailable. I haven’t made it there yet myself, but it can be windy and you’ll get some pinstripes. Tres Papalotes is cool but you might encounter other people coming thru.

I had to block that “news outlet” from showing up on my stupid Facebook feed thing. They post 100% clickbait articles that all come from……Reddit.

They are supposed to finally be moving to split turbo on this PU, I believe.

It really is awesome. Then at the end you get to Tea For One, and you kinda always forget how damn good that track is.

I won my other matchup by one whole point. This is a shitty league with two week playoff matchups that ends on the final week of the season, but I usually do well in it so I have stayed. I am the underdog in this matchup but have nothing to lose. I was the 1 seed in another league and got blasted, so maybe I’ll have some of that luck now.

Man, I wanna go to Montreal. Damnit!

Bringing over that MotoGP race to the apex block passing technique. Because motorcycles are the same, ya know.

Pretty sure that is an older quote from like November ish maybe. But yeah, unfortunate that the 7 time champ didn’t have a dad that……*checks notes*…..had 2 whole podiums (one due to his teammates’ DSQ) in a championship winning car, and who retired from 55% of his races. Darn. He was part of this incident though, so he’s got that going for him.

That is from SmilexTech on twitter who was/is a great follow. He kinda stopped with his technical insights stuff for much of 2021 but I’m glad to see he’s “back” since he has some solid sources (especially for Ferrari) and knows a lot himself.

Starting AB was technically the right call, as he beat Chase by a whopping 0.6, but in the end it didn’t matter since I ran into the Burrow/Mixon buzzsaw. Also faced Zeke, Cupp, and Dallas D. I was 15 over projected, but this guy scored 38 over his and I lost by 19. Still have a small chance in another league. Up 14 facing Gesicki and Saints DST.

I did. We shall see.

Thinking of going with Antonio Brown over Chase today in my 10 team full PPR in the flex spot. My receivers are Adams (had a great game last night already) and Jefferson. I feel like AB is gonna get force fed today. Am I crazy?

Goddamn, for real.

Haas chassis got homologated today.
