Nerdy Lifters' Corner

I'm not sure if this belongs here, but are there any other motorcycle riders in here? If there's one thing that really gets me going it's the sexy sound of a straight piped inline 4....

I've got a garage full of manchild toys to match my manchild heart ha.

Truck, 2010 Camaro SS, Kawasaki ninja

Squirtle slippers. Boom.

And Driven2lift I never played the games but the movie looked intriguing. Is the concept the same as the game? (Guy lives virtually)

Oh my god you're lucky. How many ccs is your ninja? I was looking at a CBR600RR for a first bike... started watching top gear recently and now I want really expensive cars too
 
Top Gear UK has been the best car show running for years and years IMO

Good call

And yeah Boone he experiences his ancestors' memory implanted into his mind virtually, every time he went into the machine i knew **** was about to get real, great action sequences
 
We've got a box in the garage with about 300 beanie babies still sealed... from 15 years ago. Anyone want to make an offer? LOL.

I'm a big fan of Old Movies, and love watching TCM.
The Thin Man Series
Charlie Chan
Sherlock Holmes
All of the Classics of course

I don't really collect anything.

Are you waiting and hoping prices go up? My brother had a ton that his ex kept buying for him. Pretty sure they all went to ebay the second they broke up

Just 250. I just got my license about a year and a half ago so it's more for sex appeal than for actual speed ha. I never get to ride or drive the car tho cuz I'm never home. They collect dust in the garage. For reference, the car was bought in feb of 2011 (brand new) I drove it to 7,787 that first year and it now has... 9,800 miles on it... I'm lucky to put 100mi on her in a year now ha.

So a sexy time moped?

250s will still kick most super cars asses off the line. 600s last longer and 1000s most of the time win

You should look at a 750 if you aren't ready for 1000 or more.

I've only ridden enough to pass the motorcycle class and get my license. I doubt I could handle a 600... I'd love a Ducati 848 tho.... artic white silk with some carbon fiber fairings

This is me too... the first time I even rode on a street was when I picked the bike up after I bought from a guy. Only had taken the course (2 days total)...

Yeah I'm hopefully going to get an R3 this summer and ride that through the summer and winter then trade it in for a 600 in the middle of winter when prices are lowest. I saw a Ducati 848 for 8k the other day....

I'd enjoy a fast car again. It's been a couple years out of anything with any ass under the hood

My God, me too. I had a 93 Z28, the first year for the LT1 and 6 speed manual. Had a custom exhaust and CAI. Was saving money for a big purchase. A stroker kit to turn it out to a 383. Wrecked it....:( then had an 03 Mazdaspeed Protege. THAT was a fun car. I had upgraded motor mounts in and bi-xenon headlight conversion along with some bumps in the trunk. Box of 2 12s and a 1000 watt Kenwood amp. Saving money for forged rods and pistons so I could move on to a front mount intercooler conversion and bigger turbo. Then I met the wife. And had kids. And now I drive something I never thought I would drive in my entire life. A fcking minivan..........:_(
 
My first bike was an ex500. Lots of fun but I outgrew it really quickly. My second bike was a zx10. Now that was a FUN bike. Spent most of my time in triple digits on that thing. Fastest I ever got it up to was about 170. That is lightning fast. Scary fast. Had it for a good while but the summer after my son was born I took a wreck on the interstate where the guys leg was a good bit of ways from where his body was. I sold the bike the next week. Now I'm more grown up and I want an r6 or a cbr600. Something with that giddy up but not to much.
As for cars I feel ya on that too. I've never had a fast car but I did have a party car. Had four 12s in it. Bout 5k watts of amps. It was awesome. Been several cars since then but now I have an h3 and I'm very happy with that. Hoping to get a new bike this spring :)
 
Yeah I really want a 600 or 800 ish but I don't see a huge need for liter bikes if you can't race and don't have a track near you.

An aprillia would be nice tho....

Had a LT1 Z28 first, then a WS6, an SS LS1 cam-only car w big gears and 6spd, an FRC C5 vette w a mild built motor, an Evo 8 w full bolt-ons.

I'm currently commuting 2 hours a day in an automatic 04 Ford Taurus

Wow! Well, we gotta do what we gotta do lol
 
This is no longer the nerdy lifters thread, it's the depressing growing up thread. I'm dumping my gf when she gets home from Thailand now so I can keep being a manchild stag

Oh I'm just biding my time. Spent the last year studying to change careers. Now I've got a pretty sweet job where I'm gaining a lot of knowledge quickly. When the time comes and I have the place to put it, there will be something fun again - been thinking about a turnt up blown 6spd cts-v wagon
 
I don't remember if it was here or where but we were talking about the new dragon ball super. I'm so addicted. I'm on episode 32 now. Bingeing hard.
 
I caught the Subbed, a few guys here held out for Eng Dub

It's cool to have new DB again but I'm kind of disappointed in the progression. Several episodes within the God battle were basically the exact same.

Even the same "ultra compressed" energy created in their fight happened multiple times in several episodes

I'm streaming the Japanese ones online. Couldn't wait for the dubbed versions. There's 75 Japanese ones.

I can't stand watching the subs. Beyond the fact that it's annoying, the voices are just weird ha
 
They are weird in Dragon Ball... Higher pitched than I'd ever expect from hulking men, and vegeta... Should be a badass
 
In other news, I'm hitting a few more lifts at home here tonight and Klutzy decided to play some Super Smash Bros WiiU

I'm never not in the mood for this game if someone brings it up.

(Or any SSB)

I still have my GTO. Garage queen. I DD an early Rav4 and use it for our park bootcamps as I can stuff it full with weights, ropes, sandbags,etc.about 850lbs, and sit in it all sweated up after a workout without worrying about the interior.

Nerd stuff: I sell ship model kits and translate old war memoirs into English. See site here:

No clue when it'll be here cuz it's china post ha. I did see a guy at the gym with the black panther one like two days later and his was perfect so I'm hoping this is as good
 
China Post has that awesome habit of taking anywhere from 2 days to 2 months

Still waiting on an Xmas gift lol

I had rarity levels maxed on my competitive decks, almost all 40 holographic, ghost rare triplicates...

Sadly they all depreciated a lot if they were played.

The first sets, Exodia, Blue Eyes, etc. Sell for a good amount still if first edition

Middle sets (past competitive archtypes) are all worth 1/10 what they were when I played

New competitive is the same, expensive as balls



Sidenote: I could only ship out your ARA today, but it is now on route!
Click to expand...
I got the ARA, plus an awesome Poké Ball drawing! Thanks!
 
It was more of a nerd letter haha

Love letters I only send discretely while Klutzy isn't watching

You guys are the china post whisperers haha. Came home today and there were 4 packages here
 
Yep that looks as good as depicted online, but better on you of course
 
Nice! Looks good, Dan! Does the material feel like it'll hold up well?
