If you guys aren't going to have kids, I call dibs on the racecars when you die.

Also I would hope modern rally cars are faster.

It's been nearly 4 and half decades since the Quattro.
no like, they've been quicker over a stage since the group a cars, but they're currently making more horsepower than even the group b cars were now.

Accurate, we've got a cat and racecars

My buddy has a daughter who we hang with from time to time, and my wife's got some friends with kids. We're not really about that life though, we've got each other and that's where we're planning on staying.

That’s awesome!

I figure I’ll have to wait to do that stuff when I’m older or the kids are a bit older. So basically when everything is electric and boring 😭

Trying to put my 7 month old down for a nap at the moment plus I have a 8 and 5 year old and the GF has a 7 year old so we kinda busy.

Realistically I could plan a day or weekend to go auto crossing if I really wanted too just not as easily.

I was in the same boat. I took a hiatus from autox when they were young, but now they are older and things are easier. Grandma helps in the clutch and in a couple years my son can babysit on his own. I'd like to think he would autox with me, but it will probably be his little sister.

I was that way for years and didn't stray from hot and desert heat dry rub. Then I went with a large group and we got an order of 50 with a bunch of different flavors. That was the first time I tried Thai curry and never went back to hot

We're the same person I think. Let's be friends
I made a friend! 🥲

I legit think about cursing my buddy's daughter with the VW, because inevitably he'll wind up helping her. He's always been more than willing to help with my junk, though he's not the biggest fan of the VWs.

Yeah, buddy's daughter is getting interested in cars and we're hopeful that once she's old enough we can just bring her along to events. Presently the biggest roadblock is "mom" (and I use that term loosely), but I figure the best thing my wife and I can do is to try and be a positive influence in her life. She's a cool kid, into a lot of the stuff my buddy and I were/are into. We talk about Pokemon, Hotwheels, animals, all kinds of neat stuff. She's pretty rad, as kids go.

I get it, kids are a really rewarding experience and some folks do an awesome job of it. I honestly don't think I'd be a great parent, I can barely take care of myself. More power to the folks who have 'em, literally raising the next generation isn't an easy thing.

I'm sure it's somewhat dependent on income level, but daily/weekly/monthly budgeting has always seemed like overkill to me. I do it once a year; total my expenses (mortgage, utilities, phone, etc.), set a savings goal, spend the rest. I get paid on the last of the month, all my bills and savings come out the first of the month, and whatever is left is fun money.

Heh, when I got married I started trying to do it more closely weekly just to see where we're spending all our time/$. I'm pretty good about just doing it bi-monthly when I get paid but with the second person it gets a bit confused and I'd like to make a concerted effort to have X saved in Y fund or whtaever that we can both see.

I had to remake a gallardo sticker for some nerd today. I hope he actually has a lambo. Originally it was a customer supplied sticker that I put on his boat for him. His boat got fucked up in the hurricane and now the repairs are done. I guess he's not supplying a new sticker, but still expects me to get it done. Lambo doesn't have a gallardo logo in a high enough res for me to steal from the internet. He's not getting my matte black vinyl though like the original sticker was, he gets gloss black.

Yep, my wife hates my spreadsheet. Despite me telling her it's easy to follow, she disagrees. Whatever, she buys her own racecar parts (and largely installs them herself), she doesn't need to know what I spent on the seats :LOL:

I'm surprised that's not something billable, unless I'm misunderstanding?

Yeah, so let that peasant pay for it out of pocket. (I say as though I can afford a boat that isn't actually just a floating door I stole from a friend's house)

I'm sure he'll be paying something. I'm just being kinda spiteful for having to recreate a customer supplied sticker. Customer supplied shit is almost always annoying.

The matte I have was ordered for another project I'm still in the middle of and I don't know how much I'll need. Plus my roll of matte is 30" tall while the sticker I'm making is only about 3.5" tall, but 4' long. I'd have to cut the matte down into a useable piece as my machine only fits 15" rolls too. I didn't order the matte for my vinyl cutter.

If adobe illustrator didn't have a trace function I wouldn't have even attempted this for him. It still took me about 2 hours to edit it into something I was happy with.

I've been doing jobs like that manually via the pen tool, I need to investigate this trace function business.
I'll paypal $3 if you add a dick to the bull and put it on the boat like that :LOL: (I am cognizant of rule 8 but need photo proof)
