I got a Danzing album for $10 today, as well as for $21, a model of my second-favorite car (other than supercars), a Z32 Twin Turbo 300ZX. It is able to be built left or right-hand drive, so being I'm american, I'm doing left. I get to build the VG30DETT beast of an engine to barely fit in the small engine bay. The only problem is I really wanted the XJ220 they had, my second-favorite supercar of all time, possibly favorite. I chose the Z because I hope to one day own one, as they aren't too expensive, yet are great for autocross, drifting, even cruising around. 300hp stock with the sound of two turbos and a wonderful Nissan V6, all for $7-$12,000 depending on condition. I love that car.

Yes! Right now I'm building my second, it's a "Porsche Slant Nose", got to build a turbo H6, and it's an interesting car. They're fun.

I did a Ferrari F189 Formula 1 car, Porsche 956L Jaegermeister livery, Peugeot 206 Rally World Champions Toyota GT-ONE LMPGTP car from the 90s, and some Nascars. Those are just the models I built :sly:
 
Those are some awesome models! 👍

And waffles, I don't, my dad sees no purpose in taking me. I get my permit in a month, and I will be going myself, just for seat time. My car isn't something considered fast, but seat time is seat time. Why do you ask?

Was just curious because I usually do. I can finally ride in the car woo. I think I could for a while but have been to lazy to go to one.
 
I like how CoD sent me a survey so I could tell them how much the games lack innovation now, and how I plan on buying it used for $5 at gamestop in 2 years. (It may not depreciate that much but..). I liked it even though they will just bask in praise from Cod fanboys.
 
shoulders and hips were/are screwed up, but making pretty good progress on getting them back to normal. Had a weird day and not usual routine to go to the gym plus didn't feel 100%, but went up a considerable amount of weight on every I did so can't complain lol.

E-Mail. Don't remember history got my E-mail address though, I haven't signed up for anything in their games. My only theory is that they got it when I (mistakenly) preordered their games in the past. Or they stealthily broke in and stole it. (My bet is on that one).

Not really.
 
I was walking to math today when my brother walked past and pushed me. So thinking nothing of it I kept on going. When I'm only a bit further away someone who was either a junior or a senior turned around and said "Hey bud, do you know him, is it just a thing or something?" and I explained it was my brother. I found this rather nice that he did that.

Faith in humanity +1

I'm too lazy to look it up, so I never know when one is around here. But my dad says he doesn't care that I do them, which I didn't expect, so that there is a gear-oiler.
 
I couldn't tell you when one is either to be honest but my dad goes to them whenever he feels like it so I usually tag along. I wish he would've raced this year because last time I went I was to young to ride along.

The current OCD oils my gears. Not because of the cars but because they're all in hideous/ unusual colors! A lime green/ white/ red FGT, a bright pink Clio Trophy car and a cranberry/ dark pink RUF BTR :sick:.

My 1st phone was an old black and white Nokia. :lol:

Actually, we bought a backup phone, a Samsung t259. Can anyone tell me which is better?

EDIT: Wait, What? I don't know what I was trying to do here, so I'll do it again below here.

Nokia phones are the best, I got a Nokia flipphone 5 years ago and I've dropped it many times, threw it on the ground and done much more and it still works great.
 
Being a moderator at another forum Oils my Gears. Gives someone such as me (the person who needs to get a life) a sense of power. :p Too bad it is a very small forum as far as member numbers go. ISN'T IT TOM!!!!? :p

Finding a stream of Wrexham v Brighton really oils my gears.
