  1. Looks like one turbo s in Austin. But, you can order just about any of them besides the ones with GT in front of them at MSRP.
  2. Completely agree. between having to lug around a monstrous torque wrench, the grease, the spreader bar if you don't have someone around, getting the locks to lock, blah, blah...they are a pain in the ass. While the bite on PCCB's are great, they are generally not great if its a frequent track car. A lot of people that bought a car with PCCB's pull them off and put on steels and then put the PCCB's back on when they sell the car. Or, the run the PCCB's and then they wear out, they replace the rotors with steels. The pads are expensive, you have to replace them frequently and the rotors are insanely expensive.
  3. Congrats! Looks great. Just some unsolicited 2 cents, if you intend to track it at all, the buckets are worth it. They are extremely expensive to add later if you ant airbags to work with no codes. The font axle lift is really nice to have too. Mine won't go over a speed bump unless I do the slow and take it at an angle trick. The CL's look cool but they are a huge pain in the ass. If I had the choice, I would get the bolts instead. I checked it out with the aero and think it looks good but I can understand the concern. But, it's your car so all about what you like. I completely changed mine and went back to black with a PDK (I've had both and the manual is more fun but I am just addicted to the PDK). Should be here in November. http://www.porsche-code.com/PNUPQ2G0
  4. I’m not saying you’re wrong but I hope you are. At this rate, owning a home is going back to the “American Dream” rather than the “American norm.”
  5. Yeah, I'm gonna steal that one and use it in a sentence sometime in the near future.
  6. Yeah, had a similar thing happen the other day at our member/guest. My handicap is screwed at the moment so I knew we had no chance of winning and was just having fun. We started on 10 and sliced the drive. Normally when I do that it goes on 9 fairway and you have a decent shot in so I didn’t hit a provisional. But, there is a gap between 9 and 10 fairway with normal nature terrain. Apparently I landed in there, couldn’t find it (we were playing match play and my partner was on the green in 2 so wasn’t worried about it) so I just dropped a ball and hit to the green. Opponents said, “well I guess he’s out of this hole” and didn’t think much about it. As it turns out my ball landed right behind my partners on the same line. I go to putt and the opponent said I was good. But, I wanted to putt just to feel the greens because it was our first hole (not really caring about the match since we had no shot of winning). I said I wanted to putt it and he made a decent deal about me not putting it so I picked it up, let my partner putt out then putted mine. It brought those same nerves on for a hole or so but I got over it and reminded myself I was just having fun. In the end, I learned I was actually in the wrong and that when someone gives you a putt in match play you have to take it. At least that’s what I was told.
  7. Is this for Austin or Houston? Am I a woman or a man? Am I old or young?
  8. Not in the market for a Bronco but this looks pretty sweet for those who do buy one. It's out at HSB. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ford-bronco-orderers-bronco-sport-100000130.html
  9. Thanks for the input. Will check them out then. I feel like a newb since I haven’t done Vegas in awhile.
  10. Not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread but Palmaz is fantastic and the tour might be as good as the wine. I don't think Caldwell's wine is as good as Palmaz but the story/experience is pretty cool.
  11. Ended up doing the a tower suite at the Encore. For shows, booking Absinthe and O, any others I should consider? I didn't see anyone cool people for residence at the beginning of October unless I am missing something. For restaurants, doing Bouchon for brunch one day and have them working on Wolfgang Pucks, Hell's Kitchen, Joel Robuchon, Guy Savoy and Le Cirque. Any of these I should skip and replace with something else?
  12. I am about 7-0. Almost all traffic shit for families. Best was my niece got a DWI. Cop pulled her over after leaving Whataburger at 2am (shocker). Had her dead to rights in a video, forget what she below, went to jail yada yada. She was 17 at the time. I was still in law school but trying to help. I go talk to the DA, start idle chit chat, find out he went to UT undergrad and my same law school. I took my position that I am not going to argue she did or did not do this but she wants to go to college, doesn't want this on her record, this is her first offense and she would learn much more by getting a shit ton of community service. He agreed and dropped to "obstruction of highway or passageway" and I thought I was a badass (learned later this is synonymous for a DWI pretty much and probably should have pleaded for a class A and think he would have agreed). So, get done with that, DA turns to my niece and asks "so, where do you want to go to school". Her response: "A&M". I think I actually slapped my forehead. /CSB
  13. How did it finish? I got to the part where it was pretty clear the OP got hosed and the boats suck (maybe page 15) but other things popped up.
  14. I agree and that’s probably what we will do baring any Amex tricks. I love the Bellagio since that’s the place I started the first time I went to Vegas and learned how to gamble. But, it still looks pretty outdated. That sounds awesome. Would love to watch that cocky little fuck fight.
  15. I checked that one out and the wraparound but wife wasn’t into the Cosmo. There is a lanai at the mirage that she liked but don’t see how to book that. I am going to turn this and the show bookings over to AMEX now and let them earn their money. But, looks like it’s between the Bellagio or Encore unless AMEX comes up with some trick. Will definitely do the two shows you guys recommended.
  16. I’m going to dig into the Bellagio a little more. It used to be my favorite but was concerned it is getting dated.
  17. Thanks. Will book Absinthe and Bouchon for sure. Will try to narrow down meal types. Checked out Aria and didn’t really fall in love with anything. The Cosmo wraparound and bungalow look pretty cool so will add those to the list. Never been to O before either so will book that too. Does Cosmo have Cabanas you can book for the day? Also, is the scene there more young and party balls or older and party balls like older people? ideal situation would be upscale, not young party obnoxious crowd, good spa, pool with cabanas, room with a balcony or pool/hot tub and if it overlooks the fountains that would be a plus.
  18. Planning a trip for late September/early October and was thinking one of the suites at Encore but haven't been in awhile (thanks Covid). If you want to go medium baller style (not quite Chitown ville) where would you stay, what would you do? What are the good shows to go to, restaurants, etc? Gambling is important but mainly only play craps and blackjack. Spa for the wife is important. Cabana at pool is important but we are 44 so don't need the debauchery at the super party pools. Appreciate any recommendations.
  19. Raining sideways in 78738.
  20. From my understanding, this will vary by dealership. For the one here, if you want a non GT car, should be pretty straight forward and at MSRP. You should be able to do the car configurator, place your deposit and done. Or, if you want to go baller style, you can go to the dealership and do the full on personalized experience and change just about anything on the car you want for money. For the GT cars (excluding the GT4), you are going to need a relationship with the dealer, money, or both. I have heard of people getting them at MSRP but that just doesn’t sound right unless you have huge status with your dealer. But, possibly if you call around enough also? For here, to get the round one allocation, you had to go 50k over or be a VIP with them or some combination of those two for the first 4 or 5 allocations (not me). For round two, you are some lesser version of the round one people with either less money over MSRP or status (me). Not sure about subsequent rounds but it will probably get to a point down the road where you can order at or close to MSRP. At this point, from what I hear at least, all allocations are spoken for the next 2 years.
  21. When posting a link to something, make sure a link to "best huge cocks pegging" is not included in the link.
  22. Played Rio Secco and TPC and they are nice. If you want to go baller style, Cascata is one of the nicest courses I have ever played.
  23. Oh, I certainly think it's more practical than a 911. The comparison was more tongue in cheek. My main issue was the storage and having to fall into/climb out every time I moved and bend way down to put the kid in and out. Wanted something a little bigger/higher.
  24. I didn't take this pic but this coral was eating a rattle snek in the middle of the fairway in my neighborhood last October.
