Thursday 12/31/2015 - New Years Eve!

[Joe]

We made it through 2015!  (If you survive the day)
Anyone have plans for this evening?

[NussieT]

Yoga, running and sleeping.

[Joe]

The sleeping sounds good, but the rest sounds awful.

[Chip]

Just a nice dinner.
And home, hopefully watching MSU win.

Yoga is boring as shit but a friend has this bring a friend thing and I said I would go.
I like running, I've been trying to beat my 5k time for the last month. I'm down to 28 minutes, my fastest mile was 7.44 minutes.

Going back to the Charger talk yesterday...
The one annoying thing about mine is I can't do burnouts.  Even when I turn the traction control off, as soon as the rear tires spin it kicks it into AWD.  It doesn't quite have enough power to spin all 4 wheels.  It would be nice to be able to turn that off.
AWD with the traction control off is a whole lot of fun in empty, snowy parking lots though.

I have hit the governor on mine though.  It's kinda maybe about 128.

Since I am returning my tires later today and getting a replacement set I've driven for the last two days with my traction control off.     

I've never tried to see if I hit a governor.  Hitting 100 in a flash is easy.

Nice.

Yeah, it's not all that uncommon to catch myself getting up close to 100 on my drive to and from work.
I've driven it so much, I know where all the speed traps can be, and where they never are.
And one Saturday afternoon I was coming home, and was on the last stretch of freeway before my exit.  It's a 4 mile stretch of straight, freshly paved freeway with no exits or on ramps and no where for police to hide.  There was no one in front of me and when I noticed I was already at 100, I figured I'd give it a try.  And it was still had power to go more when I hit 128.

I think I read somewhere that the Road and Track, and maybe the Daytona (T's), packages came with sportier tires with higher ratings.  So they're governed somewhere in the 140's. 
I always thought it was weird that they offered an "RT Road and Track", it's just a little redundant.  But what ever.

Mine only has RWD.

My employee can't figure out how to start an electric start generator.

My drive to work is through winding roads and then eventually empties into gridlock.  The winding back roads are nice (without Firestone tires), but the sides of the roads usually drop off into ditches that would leave me on my roof for sure.  The one stretch of highway that's I could pull off a high speed run is near Gettysburg, but it's also a well known speed trap.

Well it kind of sounds like a solar powered flash light when you think about it.

She couldn't get the gas one started and Jim or I had to go down there and do it. So we gave her the electric start one and I still have to.
What made me even more mad was the fact that I went there to go start it and she wasn't even there. She went to town to go have lunch. 2 hours after her shift started.
I'm done with her, I almost fired her two days ago I should have done it.

Holy crap.  A hotel in Dubai right now.

Holy fuck. I always want the upper level rooms for the view but I would be freaking our about climbing all those stairs down. What if they can't pass because of the fire.
