I'm not burdened? with that issue, there's just the one store in my local area. I'd imagine one of them must, since there's nothing really special to it aside from the sauce. The saucy goodness could be yours with 5 minutes of internet checking.

[Bitter]

I checked the 5 nearest changing the default store each time. No joy! Just gimme a map I can click on and see if they got it or not lol.

Well never trust their website, the local one had it. Tried it. Not at all impressed, the RattleSnake burrito was better. This sauce is too sweet and only very slightly spicy, more like just a mild warmth with NO bite what so ever. Huge let down. Will finish my review when I revisit the burrito later.

Or do like me and add jalapeno slices to it, add jalapeno slices to everything! The Chipotle Chicken Griller is good with jalapeno slices added too. Which I'm biased but I liked the Reaper Ranch burrito with the grilled chicken more.

Oh yeah, speaking of disappointment. I finally found the weight for the Grams 57CR 15x8, and it's like 15.1-15.3 pounds depending on offset.

Apparently they're just straight up cast wheels, not "flow/rotary forged" or whatever the various companies want to call it. Oh well... Will probably just say **** it and stretch tires if need be and get the Advanti since they're the best combination of weight, width, and price. I've found a couple of places that have them for $550 a set so then they're not much more than the Konig even. So then it's an increase from 6.5" wide to 8" wide and it drops from 15.5 pounds to 11.1 pounds, then maybe a pound or two saved on each tire. All that reduced unsprung and rotational mass plus much increased contact patch, mmmm...

UGHHHHHHHHHH, it's always something... Apparently something didn't turn out right with the clear coat so now it's going to have to be redone, and he's decided to let the paint guy at work do it instead which I thought what was going to happen in the first place after he said something about him doing it. But first the garage door still needs replaced since that's not been done... Yet again life gets put on hold because of that ****ing car. I REALLY just wish I had sold it to that kid to get himself killed in it, but nooooo I'm stupid and have a conscious as well as feelings of what's in the best interest of an inanimate object. Well on the plus side at this rate I'll be past that awkward metamorphosis phase before I have to sell it and then try to find a Miata to buy...

I thought GT3 A-Spec was basically reality when it came out, but it was also my first PS2 experience.

[Box]

It's funny actually, looking back on stuff like that. At the time everyone would be impressed with the graphics of PS1-PS3 games but now they're just dated, though you can look and see which were good for their time. I wonder if anyone was impressed with 8 bit graphics when they were first out, I know the jump to 16 bit was a pretty big deal since it was such an improvement over 8 in terms of detail.

[Bitter]

Listen listen listen, playing HL2 on a 19" Trinitron at 1600x1200 with maxed details running the Cinematic mod and high res faces and high res textures packs and the bloom/hdr mods too...broke my tenuous hold on reality for a bit. It looked SO REAL.

It's only a matter of time before video games and reality are indistinguishable from each other, it wouldn't surprise me if next generation consoles take us there.

You'll be able to deepfake yourself into your dream car for social media.

[Box]

Psssh, forget social media if they can replicate the whole driving experience 100% I'd be too busy driving all the time. Forget social media anyway, I hate it.

Got some Supra specific center caps for the TE37’s tonight.

[Box]

I like how they seem to match the lug nuts.

[Bitter]

Are they plasti-dipped?

Is box going to come up to TOTD somehow?

[Box]

I wish I could, but that's in what a month now? Even if I wanted to take the Firebird, and I don't, I couldn't because it's still not done... So maybe next year I'll actually have a Miata again, plus it'll mean an additional year of HRT to finish things up so maybe I won't be exceptionally awkward and will only be somewhat awkward. Though I've always been super demure, so that might happen regardless. If I don't look anyone in the eye and stare at my feet the entire time it's nothing personal.

Nah, not plastidipped, just black 3D printed plastic. I’m contemplating having them painted but I wouldn’t know what color to paint them.

[Box]

Red to match the silkscreen on the wheels, perhaps get matching lugs too. Spiffy.

So I just read the article from Car&Driver's August issue, "Dude, Where's My Car?" talking about the city of Chicago & the impound policy of vehicles... Jebus H Crist that is some messed up chit!

I'm sorry for some of you that live there.
