  2. Please tell me a situation in my lifetime where this test applies.......
  3. http://media2.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2015_25/633861/welcome-to-cleveland-sign-today-tease-150617_1558384d957c45efde61431e2f4cac26.today-inline-large.jpg When planes fly over the home of Milwaukee resident Mark Gubin, just miles from the Mitchell International Airport, passengers are treated to a friendly greeting that might just make them think their trip didn't go as planned. That's because, despite the Wisconsin location, the six-foot-tall letters on Gubin's roof announce their arrival in Cleveland, Ohio. It's simply a playful prank on the part of the 62-year-old man — and it's not a new one. Despite a fresh wave of interest in the gag since a Google Maps image of Gubin's home went viral, he actually first painted the letters atop his house back in 1978. "There's not a real purpose for having this here except madness, which I tend to be pretty good at," Gubin recently told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Well, there is one other purpose. "My original intent was, it's a hard cruel world, and I wanted to make someone smile a little bit," he explained in an interview with WDJT. While some weary travelers might not smile over the prank, one person who did was former Common Council president Ben E. Johnson, who once wrote a letter to Gubin stating, "I was in Cleveland not too long ago and I agree with Mr. Gubin that anybody who wants Cleveland is welcome to it." According to the Journal Sentinel, Johnson also assured the artist-turned-prankster that the city would take no action over the rooftop misdirection. tl;dr - man lives near airport and has had this on his roof since 1978....however, he lives in Milwaukee, not Cleveland
  4. btw, here's what a 3:17 lap looks like, compliments of the Porsche LMP1
  5. this ^^ just not today though :marc:
  6. Yea, Nissan's new FWD was pretty pathetic....however, they did run the whole weekend without their hybrid system engaged.....Nissan's fastest lap during the race was a 3:35 compared to Audi which was a 3:17...you do the math of how that computes over 24 hours .. Nissan didn't even make it into the 'results' because they needed to complete 70% of the Porsche's winning laps...which they failed to do... Driver's complained of 'epic torquesteer' They were more worried about reliabilty and finishing the race than having speed and the car breaking. The LMP1 cars can use 8 megajoules over the 8 mile lap, which is usually 4-5 second faster per lap, so even if they had the Hybrid system they were still WAY off the pace..... This is pretty good summation of their debacle..... http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/features/car-culture/data-data-data-why-nissans-2015-le-mans-wasnt-a-total-disaster/
  7. Awesome! Can't wait to see her on track :thumbup:
  8. If you didn't, this is a pretty good summary of just the action over 20 minutes :thumbup:

  10. Turn up the volume or pop in the headphones.....:nod: (and watch those rear wings dance upon brake and throttle)
  11. Yet, here you are posting Cavs are just all heart in this series, and the GSW's looked like Deer in headlights last night...I think the crowd and anticipation really got in their head last night....what an awesome game to watch, but they need to stop blowing leads at the end of the game!!!!! Dellavedova was a freaking animal last night, and he replaced where he lacks in talent with pure heart and hustle, and he was MVP in my book for last nights game. He flat out annoyed the shit out of Curry all night and I loved it!! But, damn, Curry is a shooter...everytime down, I was thinking 'there's no way that's going in'.....WTF! If they can pull it off on Thursday, I think it will be REALLY hard to lose this one....Not usually an NBA fan, but here's to rooting for the home team
  12. Reminds me of this.... http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html?utm_source=The+List&utm_campaign=c3c42380e5-Digital+Ops+-+QWOP+%
  13. dat kid doe WT parenting at its finest....WOW
  14. But how the eff did they blow an 11 point lead at the end of regulation?! Curry had an off night, and if we barely win in OT when he's having one of his worst games of his season (AIR BALL) i'm a little nervous if Bron Bron and the Cavs can pull this off....here's to hoping....
  15. bruh..... Well, you are just a testy little feller today, aren't you...... Heat, I am referring to co-driving and not having to spray the tires as much or complaints about it....... They have not been tested in 90-100* heat yet, but have been put through the paces with 2 drivers running them back to back.... I will refer back to my subjective part, but the Kooks are still being used by some.....Many national championships have been won with the Kooks....none with the Rival S so far....any not many with the Non-S, for that matter...which explains my highly scrutinized rankings.... Is that better, pumpkin?
  16. It's all subjective, my friend....... I did not say anything about track use, this is the hot autocross tire right now....the national level guys only want the highest and most effective grip they can get. If that means they will suffer some in longevity of the tire, they really don't care. Guys have been getting about 125 runs out of the RE71's before they start to 'fall on their face.' Hell, guys from Nationals in the past have had 3 sets of Sticker A6's for each run to avoid the OPR after coming off course for each run....is this a bit on the extreme side, yes, but is it done, yes. The Rival S has proven itself at Spring Nationals, when a Mini in STX won the class over a BRZ/FRS, but the Rival S has not been the tire of choice for the East coast guys....yet. I think only time will tell, but the Hankook has fallen in populatiry and are being sold off by all the hot shoes in the country and people are either going with RE71's or the Rival S for now..... Eager to see how the rest of the events play out, and whether they can in fact, handle these hot summer months.
  17. This would be Kyle Herbst, btw ^^
