Started off Friday night drinking beers at my friend’s while putting on brake cooling on his WRX. My god was the carbon fiber really really nice

Took a few tries to get it all fit with no rubbing, but finally all fit nice and neat. The other side went twice as fast as these things do.

Saturday I worked and ten went to my friends graduation from Cal Poly. We were outside in the sun for 3 hours with 90 freedom unit degrees outside. That wasn’t pleasurable at all, but then off to his house for the party and such. Though I had to leave in the middle. WHY? Who leaves one of their best friend’s party celebrating a great accomplishment?

To do this!

This is right ladies, gentlemen, and bug creatures. The 928 has been sold. And for the latest asking price too. THe guy was totally awesome and not flaky at all (took long enough CL). He drove 6 hours to buy it and loved it. I am very happy about that. He had some neat cars that we chatted about. Whole transaction took about an hour cause chit chatting and such. Super cool guy so I told him to check out our little home here on Oppo. Maybe he will. After that drove back to my friend’s to finish off the night. On my way there though

That’s right, Lilith has 50,000 miles on her now! Gosh things go by quickly. Then the drinking of much whiskey and talk around the fire occurred till 3 am.

We had fun with those colored fire packets.

I went home sometime real early in the AM and finished watching Le Mans. This was the first time I ever stayed awake for the whole event. And what and event! It was sad for many teams and now the Rebellion got disqualified for that started hole I am sad about the finish, but Aston won GTE Pro and that is what matters.

The bad thing about being up 24 hours was then I had to do breakfast with my dad. Which was lovely! Had a great time. After that I had to fine tune my DB9.R for Oppo 2.4 Hour LeMans. So in total I was up around 32 hours straight before I got 3 hours of sleep and the race was on. I ended up dead last, but I am not a Forza aficionado and I had an absolute blast. Sorry to the two people I collided with and one I sent into the grass, but I am going to say pretty good for a green pea. I only ran out of fuel once and this being oppo one of the prototype guys pushed me into the pits. Hell I didn’t even crash as much as I thought I would.

Seriously guys if you have some extra money, get a used Xbox one and then get Forza. I would say get 6, but 7 is coming out and it looks amazing! Online racing will improve 10 fold. So guys get it. Definitely will join the guys for racing as much as I can. Hell maybe even get a wheel.

Anyway if you are on the fence, GET FORZA!

Thats so cool!

But, but...if he just dailys the car its worthless to have, he’s just wearing down the pads and rotors faster since they will be below operating temp 99.99% of the time.

I think it will be fine. He has CTS-V brakes on there now and I am sure drives aggressively.
