To be fair, in the last few years all manufactures have gotten away from using the shifter to tell gears. You're supposed be checking the instrument cluster now. There are worse shifters out with no illuminated lights, you either count the 'clicks' or look at the HUD. That said, until recently, there used to be an almost standardized color scheme for gears. Red P / Orange R / Green D,1,2. This seems to have been thrown out for aesthetics. I kinda miss that, it should be colored in the HUD.
I switched to a mixed transmission this year because I was feeling lazy and mine still has green for Drive (or Eco as they call it now a days). Everything else is just generic white. Still has a proper handbreak though and so does my step dads BMW X5 and my dads Mercedes E class so how anyone forgets to put the breaks on is beyond me. After driving a manual for so long I did try to stamp on the clutch a few times and ended up breaking really hard. From time to time I stick in in manual and use the padels to shift but to be honest I am now converted to the laziness of letting the car do it itself 99% of the time. Got even lazier this weekend and got to use cruise control for the first time for any extended range, the M23 was almost clear so I set it to 70MPH and let it drive itself.
I spent a grueling 15 minute subway ride with 4 loaded soccer watching Englishmen. Never seen such cunts in my life. Trump needs to build a wall across the Atlantic.
The were just loud and obnoxious. Also string some homeless person along with promise of money, for laughs.
Went to a Kpop nightclub over the weekend with no Koreans in our group. Interesting experience... very little dancing, a lot of karaoke, and an unexpected amount of crying. I did the fighting fist wave that I learned from @chairmansteve, at one of the criers but she was not amused.
That line of reasoning isn't going to work with supersonic and cmdrmonkey, unless you become a right-wing extremist. THEN you can say "we're not all like that"...as long as you're not Muslim.
lol, so we're "right wing extremists" now for pointing out that Islam has a problem with violent extremism? Okay man, whatever. HBO's Bill Maher is pretty far left on the political spectrum, and has done entire shows where he basically agrees with everything I had to say about Islam. There are several issues where I believe political correctness has jumped the shark: Islam, feminism, fat acceptance, and trannies.
Humor is a foreign concept to Appleman. He takes everything seriously. He is the easiest and most amusing person on this forum to troll.
Marvel bench warmer made super-cool by Robert Downey in the MCU. The comic book edition? Couldn't care less.
My Internet has been crap for the last few days. A few minutes ago Comcast show's up on my door step and says the whole neighborhood is having issues and he's tracked the problem to inside my house!!! To be continued...
You'll get a call from Comcast in a minute saying they're going to send an engineer tomorrow. 'He's already here!' You'll cheerfully reply. 'Sir, get out the hous...' The line goes dead. The Colorado Comcast Killer has struck again.
He said it was a bad connector and replaced it. The whole thing sounded fishy and then it occurred to me that he had his phone out the whole time. The bastard was probably hunting Pokemon and found one in my house. The whole neighborhood internet problem was just a ruse.
Anyone have a pool? I bought one of those big box store above ground ones. It's such a pain. If I go away for a few days it looks like a bunch of fairies had an orgy in it.
