Drove a M56 and a new CTS-V yesterday.

All the shit you talk about GM and you're still messing around with the Caddy idea?

No, wasn't messing around with the idea but driving to justify why I wouldn't. You know me well enough to realize that I have to explore all options before making a decision. Personally I am a bit scared of the V10 beast that BM'er puts in its flagship sedan but it is easier to swallow the risk if there is nothing else out there that I like. I'd actually take a 550i over the CTS-V from how they drive. Wouldn't be as fast sure, but that isn't exactly everything.

You kill me.

"No honey, you don't understand. . . I had sex with the babysitter just to assure myself I didn't want to."

Just buy something already.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I have an idea for you. . .

Come drive my LeSabre.

I'll make you a smoking deal on it. I'll even include an Eaton M90 for it if you want.

You guys are funny.

I don't have a garage spot yet, so I can't buy shit.

My whole life I've enjoyed test driving whatever I could that was fun, don't see why that should stop.

On the other hand, the instant I don't have a car and a truck I'll need something fast so being prepared isn't such a bad idea. In particular since nearly everything I am looking at will require a plane ticket I don't really want to go through the courtship with the actual car I am buying, just one nearly identical to it.

Plus this is the hop.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Sell the M, buy a newer one, and build a bigger garage so you can buy and Pantera as well.

I think I have the best idea.

on the vehicle note

in the next year or 2 I plan on buying a Tacoma Crew Cab Long bed

probably be around the 08' model or so

I still got alot more research to do, I did do a lil that's when I found out that the nissan frontier doesn't have a crew cab long bed anymore. Am i correct in my findings?

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

might as well get a half ton ext. cab short bed

bout the same space, same price, more capability

protein fartin LIKE A BOSS

[Tmax98 3]

dem beats, was it you who suggested ~1g protein per pound of body weight for lifting? you sure that's right? based on what I saw at the store that equates to a ~1,200 calorie 64 ounce shake

I've always heard that much protein...

I've heard that much as well, but I've also read that .6 to .9x body weight in protein is good enough also. Though I'm really not sure how much I intake. Let's see.

Cereal- 5g

16 oz. milk in the cereal- 16g

hard boiled egg- 6g

1/4 lb deli meat in lunch sandwich- ~22g

cheese on sandwich- 5g

Fruit & nut bar- 8g

protein shake w. milk- 30g

supper meat- ~40g

miscellaneous protein in other supper ingredients- 5g

That gets me to about 137g. I weigh 190, so that's a multiple of 0.72. Not bad. Could probably get a bit more.

Let me preface everything that I say here is that it's under the assumption that someone is a pretty active person who does a moderate amount of resistance training. By that I'm saying you lift-to-failure(or extremely cose) your muscles with concentric and eccentric resistance several times a week.

Well, I say 1 gram per pound of "desired" body weight is the optimal starting point. so if you want to be 200 lbs, then 200 grams of protein per day. That would only be 800 kcal. Then thing is unless you're staving yourself from carbs to some degree the protein will be used for muscle building and maintenance. So.... the kcal don't really equate to energy or actual kcal the way you would normally count them. If you want to be 250 then 250 grams of protein or 1000 kcal. Again though, it's not like it will be burned for energy unless you put yourself into a a state where you're body needs it through some form of specific starvation.

Best bet is to consume no more than 50 grams of protein in one sitting, and then wait ~2.5 hours to eat more. So if you're eating to be 250 then I would suggest 6 meals of 41.xxx grams spaced evenly over the day.

Lost of guys I know need less, most guys I have helped are at 1 gram or more. I also don't know too many guys who could be 250 pounds lean.

Just make sure you drink lots of water.

You'd have to be fairly tall or fairly bulky for 250 lean; I'm 6'0" 243 (no, that is not bulk, unfortunately; BF%++) and I'm barely fitting into my 36 pants and XL t-shirts

Right now I've just started mixing a pint of milk with two scoops of protein powder...stuff...following each lifting session, ~65g all told. I only lift 3 times a week so I probably won't see much in the way of results for a while...we'll see

Eh 5'10 210 and 20% BF...........38 jeans and xl shirts (when I left AZ)............Goal is to be back down around 33" jeans and about 10% bf or so when I redeploy. I think with good diet, exercise and sleep I can do it.

Plus I walk damn near everywhere, and 110* or higher in long sleeves, pants, boos and t-shirt is no joke.

Also, if you really, REALLY wanna sweat, go take a shit at about 2 pm in a porta shitter in this heat. Talk about sweat ur fuckin ass off. Feels like u just got done showering.

J

Agreed done that a couple of times with the job. On new construction sites, u should see all the trash that is written on those prot a can walls

Why a mini man truck? If you're looking for some kind of dune hopping thingy I guess it might make sense.

Buy your flavor of american well made and low cost to fix pick 'em ups :coughFORDcough:. If there is something the US knows how to do it's make a GD pickup truck.
