  • Daily driver: 2010 Audi A4, Quattro, chip tuned for more power. Extra car: 2001 Audi S4, Quattro, twin-turbo V6, tuned and modified for more power and handling. Don't know why I still have it, I don't drive it enough. Just the random driving or a weekend road course track event or blast through the countryside. Just got…
  • This moment, Lindstrom & Christabelle on Pandora. Earlier I was driving for 4 hours on the Interstate. Listened to The Six Pack on Sirius for a couple of hours. Funny/interesting stuff. Then a truck pulling a trailer threw something up (I think it was an 18-wheeler tire tread) while I was going 95mph that ripped out my…
  • I absolutely LOOOOVE Jenna Marbles. I discovered her a couple of months ago and think she is hilarious.
  • Any product named iXxxxx that is NOT from Apple. I purposely don't buy any such product. I'm not an Apple fanboi, just that I think it is a pathetic case of "me too!" marketing to use that naming convention.
  • Tiffany, great smile an pretty eyes.
  • To the OP, I don’t even think cheating is the real problem. There are people like him who never cheat. They are as someone said, the ‘come here… go away… come here… go away’ type who have their own problems and as a result manipulate you. Don’t go back. Wow, there is a lot of the unfair man bashing here that is rampant on…
  • It's just plain dangerous. I avoid riding with people who do it.
  • People who start their responses with "Quite honestly, I think....". My expectation is that you are being honest. Not only is it annoying filler, but it makes me think that when you DON'T say it then you are not being honest with me. This guy two offices down from me... I must hear him say it 10 times a day. Drives me…
  • People who camp in the left lane and don't move over when they're supposed to. People who drive side by side in the middle of nowhere blocking traffic all the while using the self righteous "i'm going the speed limit" excuse. Borderline criminal overuse of quote marks in emails. I work with a couple of people who write…
  • T.V. peev?? Channels like Investigation Discovery and a bunch of others that do the following: *For one thing, have WAY too many commercials... it takes forever to get through minutes worth of content. *Start off playing a few minutes of content *End with what is coming after the commercial break *Commercials *Present a…
  • At my company a lot of our IT sustaining support (non-project, non-development) is done by Infosys. They are an India-based company that provides us both on-shore and off-shore support (follow the sun support). None of our on-shore Infosys people say bye. They just stop talking, wait to hear if someone says anything, then…
  • Sounds pretty good. I like all the individual parts... let's see how it goes together! Jack in the Box has (or had) a Bacon Shake as an off the menu option, but it was only Bacon FLAVORED... not good.
  • I love mine and wouldn't give it back for anything. However, your mileage may vary. I don't have an issue with heat probably because I have one of those cotton mattress protectors on it (it's thin) and awesome sheets. Someone I know solved the 'problem' by using two fitted sheets. During the summer, no way I would have a…
  • It totally depends on who it is. I grew up in a typical repressed white suburban household. Typically I either don't hug or quickly and lightly hug other close/dear white repressed folk. My ethnic friends, however, are a totally different story. Some of my brown friends (either Latin or Arabic) are more open with it and I…
  • Design and manage Hyperion (Oracle) HFM and MDM applications for corporate financial consolidation groups. If you work for a Fortune 500 company, there is an 80% chance your company is using Hyperion software. I'm currently focused on master data management, trying to work to get design/conventions/hierarchies consistent…
  • In the garage is this, a 2010 A4 - chip tuned for extra oomph. :) ...and a silver 2004 A4 3.0, of course I can't find a pic now. :( Sometimes in the street but most often in the warehouse is this: a 2001 S4 - also chip tuned, track suspension, big brake kit, bunch of other goodies. I drive it for fun and periodically take…
  • I couldn't agree more. It is ridiculous and throws up more red flags than.... well... anything. Although at this moment I would enjoy one to an enormous degree from either.... my preference is male, it is a no brainer. I understand what you say about technique and that gender shouldn't matter if trained properly, but I…
  • Sorry, I know this is an old thread... but I'm feelin' a steak right now. Tenderloin or Ribeye. 2" thick. A little oil on the outside, course ground black pepper, Lowry's season salt. Grilled on full blast till outside is seared, mantle is pink, core is dark. When first put onto grill, put a pat of butter on top. When they…
  • *People who say money can't buy happiness simply haven't tried enough or say that in order to make themselves feel better about their envy. True, it doesn't buy happiness directly but it affords you the freedom of time and opportunities to do what will make you happy. *Same sex marriage is not a religious issue so churches…
  • That awkward moment when someone sitting on the toilet engaged in a cell phone conversation gets into an argument and says things way too personal for a public space. Sitting at a stop light.
  • I love the cars. I still have my modified B5 S4 and enjoy driving it to work from time to time and a road coarse track event from time to time. I still love that car. I had a B6 S4 for 3 years. I loved it too but for slightly different reasons. That damn thing was thirsty! I'd typically get (computer indicated) upper 17s…
  • Not true. AWD is not for snow/mountains/off-road only. I'm not talking about the wimpy AWD systems that run as FWD until slippage is detected then activates a clutch pack to push some power to the rear. Those try to get the job done but are unsatisfying and in being reactive are a little late to the party. I mean full-time…
  • This is a fun, funny, interesting, irritating, frustrating, and thought provoking thread all wrapped up in one! Good job. :wink:
  • It is difficult to say without knowing 100% of the background, but it sounds like the guy is just a jerk period. I'm sure you are sweet and delightful, but based only on what you said above it sounds like you went into the situation with your guns loaded and a hair trigger. People can sense that. Perhaps there is more…
  • [/quote] So is this scruff, or a beard?? Maybe...bruff? [/quote] That's what I usually sport, a goatee not maintained for several days... so yes, bruff... sounds good to me, lol. Looks good on you though. Fits nicely with your overall look.
  • It sounds like you aren't ready for a LTR, much less living together. If you can't be happy with yourself alone, you aren't ready for it. Not to mention, in many states if you aren't divorced yet then you'll get yourself into a world of hurt by doing what you're doing. A good divorce lawyer would grind you up.
  • People are too sensitive. Through tone, I can easily make the allegedly more P.C. "my wife" sound possessive and/or degrading. Like literally anything else, it all depends on HOW it is said and in what context and intent. Yes, I use 'the" for most references and it works for all involved. Especially at work where I don't…
  • Once I got over being annoyed by the OPs comment, the thread was quite funny. I'm amazed at how many folks use the word "shocked" when referring to seeing someone nekkid in a locker room. Considering that is what they are for, the most I would expect is "surprised" because maybe you had your eyes closed while washing your…
