    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I know. They get really light use here. :-)

    I have had 2 craftsman sets. They have both been fantastic. They are not perfect but considering I have less than $300 invested in 2 full metric and standard sets, I'm cool.

    What is really crazy is that it doesn't feel frantic or crazy fast. However, everything else I drive now feels really slow. :-)

    It definitely feels that way. I really just needed something comfortable and not boring. I could deal with bigger seats, but these articulate in so many ways, I'm comfy. It's going to be a joy to drive if I get the AM position.

    Usually my biggest complaint with M cars is the shitty interior, with the overall use of carbon and/or aluminum. It's so close to gaudy it ruins it for me.

    I have not driven the M. I just assumed it to be a beast. 100+ more HP, and better turned chassis and suspension. I don't know if it would be enough to quench the thirst for a race car, nor did I look at the price bump. :-)

    It is shocking from a rolling start.I'd love to test drive one, just to see how quick she is. J I get one as a "rental" car in SoCal regularly. Super fun. Speed wise it is basically on par with the ML63 I had which is downright nasty from a dig. 0-30 the ML walks after that the 550 does. Competing with a 503hp NA V8 built to rev is impressive.It's so calm. I can't spin the tires. I can't make make.the back break at any speed that is safe on the roads around here. You can definitely tell it's been neutered and there is a shit load more engine than I'm allowed to get at. I'm not sure what the M5 suspension is like but I'm fairly certain that is the definitive difference. The 550 is so close to being balls out wild, the M5 must have a really well tuned suspension.

    Pull it at 105 and let it rest for 30 minutes. It NEVER fails.The hotter you cook it the sooner you need to pull it. Of course cooking it too slow might mean 105 is too early....but that has never been the case with mine. Thermapen ftmfw. I set it to 105... I was too far away and didn't hear it go off until 113

    Over cooked the prime rib tonight.... Medium rare. :-( Tasty, but not scrumptious.

    You are doing to the Caddy what I wanted from the expy. However I wanted more off road and you are more road race. You better be able to eat my lunch when you are done though. I wouldn't want it.any other way.

    Today the rolling rice grinder guy was spooky mad. I didn't bother to turn and look at him as he revved his engine. I felt like a Bond Villain.

    I have no idea what the body kit with a coffee can was tonight. He got beat 3 stoplights back to back and still was still spinning then before I had to turn left..... Wonder how bad it would have been if I would have gone to sport +?

    2 mustangs and 3 Acuras a 535xi a few civics... Good times.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    The 550xi is the undisputed Maplewood drag champion. Asian guys or white guys who wish they were Asain love trying to keep up. It's pretty embarrassing for them. Buahahahahahahahaha.

    The death of photography derrrrrrrrrr. :-) It's an app for your phone that allows you to retouch photos with filters. It makes everyone an artist and ruins so many photos.

    I get so crabby about instagram filter use. A great pic is a great pic, but 90% of the time people ruin their shots!

    No one charges roaming fees in the US anymore, not even Sprint. I am concerned about roaming in Malaysia/Singapore etc. There roaming means $10/mb. And I NEED data to get around and not get years behind when I travel.Right. But doesnt t Mobil have the most service there?And in the US, if there is any cell service can't you just hop on whoever that provider is? Or get a satalite phone/hotspot and quit bitching.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Can't you just hit roaming though and use anyone's service??? If you don't mind the occasional extra roaming fee, then it's all the same coverage right?

    T Mobil is fine for business. Not so fine for being way the Fuck out in the middle of nowhere.

    For my stuff that would make $$$ or portraits I would never grab the 1.2 unless it was to scout and snap before and after the real shooting. It's my "fun" lens.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I'll remember to take a big poop before we go out. Probably drop 10lbs. The 50mm is no good for portraits. It is good for snapping people when nothing else will do. I will post some better people shots I took with it later. The shot with Goldie was just so technical I wanted to post it. :-)
