Huh? What'd you do to qualify for that (I'm asian by the way)?


Yeah same here. Driving a 98 civic which is still running pretty well. Getting another car just ain't a priority. I'm not hating on people who are into cars because I guess I can see the appeal, but as long as it's functional and gets decent mileage...point A to point B is enough for me.

lol, bad joke is bad. maybe it only makes sense in my head. :O

i'm not super into cars... but rather than spend a lot of money on a car i kind of want, i'd rather spend a little extra on a car i really want, especially if i'm going to be driving it daily for 5-10+ years. my old car was halfway through its useful life and had some problems we didn't want to deal with so i just sold it. it wasn't a lemon but it really wasn't one of the better Toyotas we've ever bought.

I hear you, I'm similar. Once I get interested in something, I'll do a ton of research and go for quality stuff.

I hope, really, really hope, I never get interested in something as expensive as cars or like home theater and stuff like that.

This is what's weird, my father is really into street rods. I never had much interest in them, bikes are my thing.

today my gf got home from work and told me about her workday

our boss asked her how to spell the word potential. apparently she asks her how to spell words all the time

thats just pathetic. woman is in her 40s with a teenage daughter, great example youre setting there.

Seriously. That's pretty sad.

Don't buy cheap Ebay longboards, got one and the bolt holes were all jacked so I had to get a refund after dealing with ebay. Anyway, since it can't be used I figured I would draw on it and see what happens, this is what happened:

used a sharpie and a gold paint marker

That's pretty good.

Today I sold my fuji track bike, I no longer belong here :-(

But I will stay because ssfg is of the better part of bikeforums, and I'm sure I won't be able to not build another fg

ha!

sell ya a used sector 9 for $75

Thanks
I just bought this to see how bad eBay boards really were (it was $35 shipped). This was pretty bad, the front holes were crooked so the front truck sat angled. I usually ride Churchill Manufacturing boards, I actually just ordered a new commuter board today (Churchill LTD)

that is pretty awful, its a wonder that companies that make such horrible boards havent been sued and put out of business

Why not a bustin? They're cheap enough. FWIW there's plenty of kiddies around here commuting on loaded.

I like Bustin boards, but to be honest, I wanted cheap and quality. Churchill is the Kilo TT of longboards.

Also for the "today I":
Took a vacation day and I'm headed to Mountain Creek to snowboard tomorrow. My 3rd time snowboarding, I need to get turning down, it is my nemesis.

+1
Love my mini maestro! Not really into the longboarding thing though, just use it as a cruiser.

I used to party with a few people who worked at creek, I'm not a snow person, I did ride a vintage road bike Down a mountain in the poco is before, on a grass ski slope in the summer, I had grass stains on my skin

Today I scrolled past a bunch of posts about long boards.

Today I got someone to scroll.

I bought the car in 2004 and it's (obviously) fully paid off at this point. It was a luxury, at a time that I could afford luxury. Now it costs me like $30 a month for insurance (bundling with my homeowners insurance means it costs virtually nothing).

The credit card debt is recent as of my separation from my husband 6 months ago.

DAMN, YOU GUYS.

Oops!

whoa.

Today i took the scenic route to work #2, it was 10 degrees.

Coldest commute so far but really no different from 23

OMG I SAW THAT COMING.

also be careful cuz the mods hate that ****.






Also also, I am stuck in my office doing classwork. HOMEWORK DAY SUCKS.

Looking forward to some bike time tomorrow. I've been out of town for work end of last week and beginning of this one. Times like this make me realize how much my bike commute keeps me sane. I feel so much better arriving at the office after the ride, and the ride home helps me to (mostly) forget about nonsense that happened at work. Taking the trains makes me sad, although Osaka trains are definitely better than Tokyo trains.

Thanks for the heads up. :)

What'd I miss?

Edit: Ah. Bull**** and drama. Cool. Yeah, Chicago be full of drama playa.

Also forgot that pawls on the freewheel started to freeze a couple miles in, had to actively start coasting to keep it moving

Who knew?

Today I turned 40 and I'm still trying to get my head around that. With that said, I'm heading out for a ride.

Happy birthday, bud!
