  1. This may be an option with the RennTech ECU+ at 600+ HP. Holy shit. I love what Mercedes has done with their entire lineup...just beautiful lines. This is an aggressive looking SUV and I like the look and has the space for kids.
  2. It's amazing how many families are still impacted by Harvey after 18 months+. We just volunteered to help remodel a house that was damaged a few weeks ago. Your think it would be more widely known but it isn't. Would be nice for the news to report on it and spread awareness.
  3. gotcha, just priced what was online and figured it was 2019. I looked around at pre-owned and didn't really see any S6 options. Where are you finding that?
  4. I'd probably go with either the Raptor or Limited if I go truck. Limited appears to be a little over $80k as built, Raptor about $75k. I do like that first Lariat picture, but honestly I'm not going to be able to do any of the upgrades myself and won't spend the time to go get it done. Priced the S6 and MB AMG E53, both came in around $100-105k. The S6 is a 2019 price so could probably get that close to $90k for the 2018 model. I think I drive too aggressively for the Land Cruiser - came in at $86k. These are just the online build prices, not actual quotes. None of those are going to happen right now, but nice to think about. Fucking cars are expensive as shit these days.
  5. I think about all the shit I should buy when I'm working my ass off so here goes. Want a truck, but not sure I want a truck. Don't really need it, but I'm in a construction-related field so a truck is always a good play. We already have enough room for kids/dogs/storage/hauling so a truck isn't a necessity. But a few co-workers have some nice F-150s so its on the radar. Is the Limited Edition worth it? Is the engine actually tuned like the Raptor, or can it be done? The website has the same engine listed and someone above said it was the same engine but my understanding is they add a chip and do a lot of tuning to the Raptor to get to the increased horsepower. Seems easy enough to do if that's the case. I'm a fairly aggressive driver, but not crazy. I enjoy performance though. At the very least I need some sort of SUV/sedan that can hold up to 5 people, so no console in the middle of the backseat. Doesn't need to be that big or comfortable, but I have two kids and would be nice to not have to switch cars to haul them and friends around. I currently have a 2012 A6 which fits the bill ok. Not really looking, but circumstances might allow for an upgrade. Love my Audi but it hasn't exactly been maintenance free so not sure I'd move up to an S6. Don't want a turbowagon that seems to be the rage these days. Love the engines, but I'm not driving a fast station wagon. I grew up watching out of the backseat of a station wagon. Probably had 5 HP vs. 500, but that's not happening. Needs to be a manly enough car to take to a project site and not pretentious enough to be noticed. 5 seats, decent trunk space. 5 figures. Sell me on something here or sell me on something besides an F-150 Limited as a truck. Back to work.
  6. Red isn't racist, his comment wasn't racist. That said, he was the first black football coach at UT and as smart as he was, he should have realized how his remarks would be taken and used against the program. That's my main issue with it. It was a stupid thing to say in a public setting where it could be misconstrued. Then again, if his goal was to undermine Charlie then it probably was exactly what he wanted. It just made recruiting more difficult. We've seen that play out the last couple drafts with the lack of talent.
  7. Hook 'Em Charles! Incredible player and one of the most exciting I've ever seen. I wonder if he has the longest average TD distance of all time for RBs. Not sure that's even a stat. That highlight video has two 90+ yard plays along with quite a few over 60 or 70 yards and lots in the 40+ range. It's crazy how explosive he was and just how fast with toughness and vision. Also didn't know he had a kickoff return touchdown. KC has done pretty well with UT running backs. JC and PH isn't a bad duo at all. Holy shit.
  8. Have you been in a hospital? Odds of this are low.
  9. Hook 'Em. Thank you very much, she looks even more amazing in person - pictures don't fully do it justice.
  10. The only real thing I miss about my old LG was the fingerprint recognition was light years ahead of my Google phone or my wife's Samsung. Took pretty damn good pictures as well, but the Google phone is also good and the Night Sight feature is just fucking amazing.
  11. The police want to stay away from this at all costs. If her hours were consistent with most officers and she in any way indicates it may have hindered her judgement, that will be the basis for attorneys to try and dismiss any case by any cop who worked similar hours. Might not be successful, but it would be a shit show for them. Not that I would mind the police having to deal with a shit show of their own creation.
  12. Follow up on the Cueros. Ordered the Austins and the Eastwoods, both in 12D. The Eastwoods for fine, a little snug but won't be an issue. They are comfortable. The Austin's are simply to tight so I'll return those. Don't know if it would be better to go one size up or go wider. The problem is they are to snuff ok the top, not necessarily the width or length. Seem to be good quality, especially for the price.
  13. I definitely don't want my feet sliding around. Don't mind snug.
  14. How snug do the Cuero's wear? I wear a size 12 but have never really had any issues with width and any shoes. Are the 12Ds going to be alright?
  15. Anyone watched Perfume? Only 2 episodes in and it's pretty fucking dark.
  16. Finally got this put up. Thanks AO, looks awesome.
  17. Thanks to friendo for this but I'm glad we are back to the texassax version. Seemed like there was a long period where the nonjizz version was making the rounds. This is so much better.
  18. Only if dropped from a plane that takes off from a treadmill. Just giving you a hard time. This is tragic.
  19. Fucking amazing. Love his emotion and the incredible excitement from the fans. Is it a bad time to say I'd fuck his mom before his gf? That said I hope he actually loves her and she him. More important than anything, especially with his children.
  20. Shit calls. I'm not even rooting for either team but va is getting the calls. Hello of a shot by Mooney.
  21. Nice finish. Always enjoy a first time winner. Crazy round but he shook off 4 straight bogies and played a hell of a back nine.
  22. TT will win on Monday. That's impressive basketball on defense and better offense options.
  23. Pretty awesome. You can't have courage if your aren't scared. Fucking clutch.
  24. Amazing how emotional Chuck is. Really good to see that from announcers.
