We bought a new Mercedes GLE 350 last November with the AMG goodies. It has been a wonderful car to drive. The 450 was too heavy with all the hybrid equipment. This was mostly due to my wife's bad back and our E class giving her fits. The SUV is very comfortable and still fun to drive. Of the two cars above, Porsche for sure.

I remember buying Partagas 898V and BBF for $180 back in 2001. I also accidentally bought 2 boxes of COLA for $700. The good old days.

Good to see some pictures, fondly reminds me of times gone by. I remember liking Punch Churchills better than DC's, especially cabinets.

It’s 13.6274904%. It’s science!

Darren Bennett used to be our man in San Diego for the Chargers. I do think he had a significant impact on the game with his booming punts.

I’m a pretty slow smoker. I don’t care for the hot sensation if I smoke too fast. But I will say that smoking outside in the wind can dramatically shorten times. As can watching an exciting movie! PC/Robusto - 1 hour #2 - 90 min DC - 2:15ish Churchill - Somewhere between DC and #2, but ALWAYS too short

The album version of Creeping Death was already posted, but this live version is the greatest of all time for me:

Yes but more so in the past. I kind of regret pounding that box of 2014 Cohiba Lanceros all those years ago! Same with the last box of Partagas 898's I bought back in 2017 before Cigarmageddon. But they sure were good

Great game for Washington. I have to think that when Goff got popped on that run back, he wasn't all the way in there for the rest of the game. But also have to wonder what he was doing down there anyway?

Merry Christmas!!

I loved him as an A and was just stoked when he came to San Diego. Ricky and Tony Gwynn on one team! While that was not the prime of his career, he was exciting to watch.

@Chas.Alpha seriously look for an RC club near you. There are plenty of experienced pilots that can teach you how to fly safely, without the fly-crash-fly cycle associated with teaching yourself. The AMA website has a registry of clubs. I learned to fly models at age 8 when my dad taught me. It sparked an interest that eventually landed me in glider competitions. I won the national championships twice and went to the worlds as a pilot on the US team. I have been a professional RC/UAV pilot since 1995, flying everything with wings or rotors as well as control line, cars, boats, drones, you name it. I am an aerospace engineer and that is in no small part because of model aviation.

I love the manual histogram!

It REALLY pisses me off when hot rods get noise tickets and Harley's blast around at obscene noise levels without any consequences.

Damn, me too!
