Random Thought Thread

480 ft/lbs at 1600rpm. My last one was a hemi and it was quick. This one feels almost the same with a little torque brake and is pushing 30 mpg. Can't wait to tune it.

I tried the hemi with etorque and honestly, I loved it, but having been daily driving 13 mpg for the last year(35s and lots of other crap) I'll take the slight 0-60 hit for 25+ mpg.

When are you ordering your Cybertruck?
 
Ugh. To be totally honest I checked where the electric trucks were prior to buying the diesel. My seat of the pants estimate puts them 3 plus years out to a reliable daily driver. I can't guarantee I won't highly consider them at that point... As dirty as it feels. I was looking at a model s and keeping my old truck for camping/work stuff but decided not to based on reviews and warranty. That and everyone is offering such great deals on new stuff right now. I actually got what I paid for my truck 5 years ago in trade. I added a bunch of stuff, but I also put 50k+ on it. Kinda nuts.
 
I’ve been trying to talk myself into buying an ACOG for the past few days

I have a TAO1NSN 4x32, it’s a really nice piece of glass. Hard to beat the clarity and durability. I’ll probably post mine for sale to try out one of the mini ACOG 1.5x units since the astigmatism is turning the red dot on my T-1’s into comets instead of dots. I’ve grown used to the lightweight mini dots and the idea of a lightweight ACOG sounds great.
Congrats on your purchase if the scope in the picture is the one that you bought.

Ah thanks man I haven’t bought it yet, I was hoping it would work well with my octopus/Cthulhu style of astigmatism

Very nuts. I have driven diesel for over 20 years, mostly VWs but I’m without one now. I had a 2015 but it was part of the emissions scandal buyback.

I got a 17’ Tacoma Pro (was supposed to be adventure vehicle for weekends) but it was too expensive in fuel to be my daily driver so I sold it and went to a BMW, 2018 last year before they discontinued diesel and I got rear ended and it was written off 9 months later at a $35,000 loss. So I’ve given up and bought something totally different, a 2019 WRX which needs premium (I always wanted one but ever made sense to buy) but I drive so much (600 miles a week average) that I’ll probably get a used model 3 once the prices come down after the million mile battery is released.
 
So how's the labor going?

We had the baby on wednesday night at 1103pm.
She was in labor for about 90 minutes. We barely made it to the hospital after her water broke at HOME.

The adrenaline dump for me was superhuman.

Mom and baby doing great. They're at the dr right now for His first checkup.

Also. It wasn't the burger. MOM and I were fooling around when she started having contractions. o_O:D

Ive been looking at those too for the same reason. Expensive for what you get imo. Miss the days my acogs were free
