cv91915 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 I am picking our next car. That's what TD wants as my next car. The taxi that took us from the airport to our hotel in Amsterdam was a Tesla Model S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv91915 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Right now TD is driving the Prius back to our house from dinner, with The Club® locked to the steering wheel, because he lost the key. Yeah... a swarthy foreigner in our neighborhood after dark driving a Chocolate Goodness economy car that's missing a wheel cover and has an anti-theft device locked to the steering wheel isn't going to look suspicious at all. Well, there is all that. But, also, aren't you not supposed to be able to drive with The Club® affixed to your car? Apparently you can drive it, you just can't steer it. Good thing you were going straight? I think you missed the post about him parking the damn thing and taking Uber home. Plus, I'm in San Diego until tomorrow. This wouldn't have happened on my watch. I did. I might suggest leaving the key in it in a questionable nieghborhood. No more problem. We don't go anywhere in that shitmobile when I'm there. I don't really like the car we bought for me while I'm there, either, but at least it isn't a Prius. I am picking our next car. What do you have there? What is next? Aztek? Now: Lexuzzzzzzzzzzzz RX350. Next: We sell our house in Mudland and drop the thing off at Carmax on the way out of town in April 2017.

The taxi that took us from the airport to our hotel in Amsterdam was a Tesla Model S. I've enjoyed my Volt but it's almost time for a new car. Would love a Model S, but the damn thing is super spendy. What are you considering cv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let him tak me in to the Lexuzzzzzzzzz, and it's my Mudlandmobile. We aren't looking now, but it's my turn to choose next time.

Nothing screams "I'm old and have given up" like driving a gold car. (We have a gold Lexus GS in the family. I call it "Stale Biscuit.)

ubercat Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) I just bought a bunch of guitars. I think I have a problem. Edited August 30, 2015 by ubercat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubercat Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Now that I have more guitars, I moved a tuning to a Tele Custom, and now I need two more guitars. The tuning I moved to the tele is one used by Ricky Wilson on the songs Rock Lobster and Dance This Mess Around. CFxxFF. I strung it up this morning and while I was looking for more information on the tuning and set-up I found this: B-52s live on SNL in 1980. Enjoy.

ubercat Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) One of the guitars I bought today/last night is something that I've been looking for for over 15 years. It's a cheap-flowers LP knock-off made in the `70s called a Drifter. It was made by Tokai in Japan, whom is an underrated manufacturer to this day. Very few of them pop up for sale. The reason why I want this guitar is because this model was used as a platform for modifications by Thurston Moore, whom converted the guitar to this: The mods done to the guitar include having the electronics removed (wiring: pups -> on/off -> jack), removing all the frets, floating the pick-ups with foam and duct tape, removing the two e pegs, and string it up with four bass strings tuned BBxxF#F#. String gauge is 56 56 x x 42 42. Played with drum sticks. Edited August 30, 2015 by ubercat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does a naughty dance. I've got such a crush on 1979 Fred Schneider. He can buy end tables and kidney-shaped coffee tables like no other dude.

dansamy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Oh my goodness! A normal amount of salt isn't going to kill you. Or give you hypertension unaccompanied by any underlying pathology. In other words, salt alone isn't going to give you high blood pressure. The crappy cardiovascular system bequeathed to you by your parents will give you high blood pressure. A HIGH sodium diet will just make that worse. I'm not talking about a high sodium diet. I'm talking about a normal amount of salt, intended to season a dish versus the bland, tasteless stuff that most places serve nowadays.
