  • Lmao she barely has any interest in riding in it. She does know how to drive stick. Her first car was a manual '91 Stanza. An interesting one, for sure. She hated it. Her preference is a bigger car with a tall ride height and room for the family and so her daily is a 5.7L Sequoia. She loves loading up her aging parents or her sister and her three kids and running around town. I stan the idea of being only one car on the road instead of two or three. My only gripe about the thing is that it’s thirsty, but she teleworks five days a week so it doesn’t really see much daylight. Now that my Civic is back up and running, that’ll probably be the car for running errands around town.

    Her interest is in the total opposite of the Prelude, BUT she says that she loves that it makes me so happy owning and driving it. She just doesn’t care to ride in it.




  • So I had a 2000 base auto in my college years. I had to sell it because it was breaking all the time and I didn’t make the money to keep fixing it. Also, it was my parents’ car on paper and they were making me sell it. They wouldn’t sell it to me. It took all of eighteen seconds to determine I wanted another Prelude.

    Now, I wanted one, but I wasn’t about to move on one. But one afternoon, I was driving home and stumbled upon a neighbor who was a two minute walk from my house selling this red Prelude out of his driveway. I knocked on the door and asked some questions. I test drove it and asked what he wanted. After negotiating, I got him down to $2,700.

    Turns out, it’s got a red top H22A swapped in. Someone paid real good money to make 20 extra horsepower lol Still, it’s a ripper. I had to daily it for a little while when the starter in my Civic died. And the old thing took it on the chin and is no worse for wear because of it. Good ol 90s Hondas.

    My wife wanted to use the extra money to do some minor house renovations. Instead, because the opportunity just popped out of nowhere, I bought a car lol So after vacation, I do owe her a lot of work on our house.

    You think that’s bad? My mother-in-law takes it congratulations, then drowns it in A1. She also thinks Pepsi is appropriate hydration. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her drink just a glass of water. If there’s even the slightest hint of spiciness in anything, it’s completely inedible.

    Don’t get me wrong. I love her to death, but she has questionable taste.

    As for me, I’m a medium rare type, but I’m known to order mine rare from time to time when she’s out eating with us. Just to bring some balance to the table.


  • Cheetahs have always been my favorite. It’s not that they’re the fastest land animal that fascinates me, but how. Dogs are so funny to watch run because they’re so goofy, but even the fastest dogs get going maybe 40 miles an hour. They spend a lot of time off the ground in their stride. And if you’re not in contact with the ground, you’re slowing down. Cheetahs keep their strides very low to the ground and spend little time in the air. Additionally, their long, muscular, flexible spine allows them to treat it kind of like a leaf spring. And the long tails are gorgeous.

    And if that wasn’t enough, they meow and purr, too.







  • Have to respectfully disagree, but I’ll give that FC5 was consistently pretty good throughout. FC3 started off the first half on the highest of notes and finished somewhere in the middle before sending you to horny jail for being bad boy. FC5 was a solid B+ game. Not one for the ages, but definitely a fun way to kill a few hours. FC5 does have really good co-op. My wife and I each have 100+ hours in FC5 specifically because we played through it together several times.

    I thought Faith was a pretty good character. Especially as you dive a little more into her lore. Her dudes that pop out of nowhere can be annoying though lol

    We also did the easter egg ending.


  • I haven’t played AC. My experience lies mostly in Far Cry. I got a free copy of Far Cry 3 with my Radeon HD 7770. Little did I know that’s where the series would peak. It’s one of the games I wish I could play for the first time again. Vaas is easily one of the best written and (and especially) acted bosses in a game ever. He’s such a pain in your ass until you kill him, then the final boss sucks so much, you miss him.

    Not how my experience went. You read the books, you got the points, and (assuming you were doing well in every other aspect of the class), you got an A. But if you struggled with reading (as I did in school), you got poor grades despite the fact that your grammar, writing, and spelling were otherwise excellent. Very rarely did I get a teacher who rewarded reading; most of them punished my failure to read.
