The more Clyde Mays you drink the more you will get used to Class A - sit back and enjoy.

Battery powered components do produce Zero background noise, the bane of hi-end audio. I mean, think how quiet your
flashlight is - 🤔

Boy's GF is sposed to be flying into Tucson [from DC] today. If she can get a non-stop to Phoenix, she might make it ... assuming someone doesn't get road rage and need to de-plane early
IF she can get a non-stop, Assumimg no road rage - you know it is 2021/2022, right? Just sayin’ -

Risk? They played roughly four full seasons of risk, and before that, high school. One more game suddenly becomes too risky? That's like a fighter pilot saying no to orders because they are getting out the next week. Sorry uncle sam, but another flight is just too risky....are you on the team or not? Did you benefit from being part of the team, and now it's time to step on their heads on your way out?
You’re right, risk wasn’t the proper term. With this generation how about selfishness, “me me me”, and it’s true - there is no I in t e a m -

When hasn’t it been amount the money? The difference now is players being able to dip their toe in the money pond. And liking how refreshing it feels why risk their personal future as College Pond flows into The Ocean of Money -

Last night we got lucky with nearly an inch of rain S of KC. That could have easily been 10-12 inches of snow with typical December weather. Low 40’s last night, sunny upper 50’s today. Apparently a cold azz weekend approaching but with the great December weather we’re having I shouldn’t, won’t complain.

one's still under warranty... the other was rode hard and put away wet...one to many times.. well after its shelf life..
Another pertinent question - how wet is it?-

The real question - how much time will I have with the future now before I’m subjected to “the future”? There’s a lot riding on this --

The search for a top tier car from the past can be a lot of fun, if you choose right and find a good one. Such as this 2008 Mercedes S600.
— just be sure to have the equivalent amount of the purchase price in savings for future repairs. I had a certified MB master technician literally pull me by the arm and away from purchasing an S65.

My LS sound nothing related to “boxy, nasal”,etc. etc. Might it have to do with excessive volume where the room is overloaded or under damped?
My Jubes and LS are positioned about 18 feet apart on centers, in a room about 26 feet back to front, I sit roughly in the middle of the room. Jubes are angled to cross at the back of the room and when the LS are brought in they are set directly in front of the Jubes, exact same crossing angle. Imaging is beyond reproach, no one would be able to say there is not a third speaker in the center (ghost speaker). Maybe I’m lucky with my setup or my hearing not as critical as others but the LS are every bit as enjoyable as Jubilees. The same presentation no, as enjoyable, yes.-

Im sure continuing pressure from Wolfe made the “detailed analysis” an easier pill for FIA to swallow than a never ending protest.

Important bowl games are a thing of the past. With what, 30-40 “bowl” games the historically important Big Four games have been watered down to be meaningless.

Urbs is done coaching for sure
Would any D1 program hire him now?
Would he even want to coach
Give it time. May not be a D1 school but after he has spent a year or two sitting on his azz and or hasn’t been hired as yet another “college analyst” for a network a school will flash enough cash to pull him back in. Won’t be the first or will it be the last that the disgraced have returned -

Lots of traffic, interviews, and a good deal of sponsorships (without us even asking!). The car was already in progress, but when we got the call to have it in the show, things had to be pushed up and it's not a running car yet. After a quick break from all the go-go-go, it'll start getting finished up to where we can hopefully run a 7 second pass this year!
My o’ my - what a big nose you have😄
Think of the air you could funnel in with a 510 or 402? Helll, go big, stick a 402 on the front of that turbo -

They were reliable, maybe you guys got stuck with the Monday after New year's build date.
While not perfect odds are you will get 200,000 miles plus out of these.
Lightweight turbocharged engines will be more succeptable to breakage and more costly to own over the long run.
Agree this was an anomaly, LS engines are generally bulletproof. Bought a used one for $500 with 150k and it runs like a top.
And totally agree with the engine of choice today - turbocharged 2 liter four poppers. Drove a few and found them anemic. That’s the problem after 6 years of 392’s and Hellcats.-

I had mentioned in a previous thread I was looking at 4 door sedans preferably a V8. But did drive a couple certified Mercedes V6 with twin turbos. Called a buddy, certified MB Master technician, for an opinion. Absolute first sentence from his mouth “how much warranty does it have left”. I was done. It’s the same with the other German marques - warranty, warranty, warranty.
