I got my first Puffalump, Coco Bunny, on April 11. It’s also 4/11, like !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Coincidence??? I think not.

Look at this good bunny:

April 11 was deemed “Coco’s birthday ” ages ago, so happy birthday, Coco! Coco is 32. She’s a good P uffalump.

This may sound strange, but I think you should post a Puffalump on Fur Face Friday.

That does sound strange, and I endorse the idea.

Stef Schrader > boredalways

They’re not furry, though.

Thanks for the info on 411 Day (hehe).

I don’t think this about most people’s pics , but I clearly see adult you in the face of that kiddo.

And it’s an adorable photo.

Sphinx cats are welcome! Though as I am shamelessly team dog, I’d prefer if someone brought a Xoloitzcuintli.

In order to properly celebrate puffalump day, don’t we have to burn a sacrificial puffalump to please the puffalump God/Gods?

OPPO needs more 411 content.

Stef Schrader > Manwich - now Keto-Friendly
04/11/2019 at 18:31

No. For one, t he Puffalumps would burn you first if you tried it. Two, they’re too cuddly and demand hugs. Hug the Puffalump. HUG!

She’s here to gnaw poly-fil carrots and kill McMansions.

And she’s all out of poly-fil carrots.

There was one I saw sometimes at the dog park, he seemed pretty cool.

Hey Stef! come play with us at Autocross on Saturday!

It’s only supposed to rain a little...

I see you’re VW has the rare ‘Schrader’ block, with the overhead ca...head. Good for about 45 bsp. (Brake Steph Power) at the wheels. Easily modified by adding Puffalumps, good for about 5-10 BSP per, making sure the car can get to its top speed of around 1/2 a Porsche per hour in roughly 38.2 sec. Not bad considering....

Chuckles > Stef Schrader

As the person who wrote this week’s FFF, I’ll allow it.

Also, someone posted a picture of their dead pet cockroach once, so you're definitely fine posting puffs.

Stef Schrader > Chuckles
04/12/2019 at 10:43

Where is FFF? Is this an Oppo thing or elsewhere?

(I’ve probably scrolled past it a million times as a non-pet-having person.)

Chuckles > Stef Schrader
04/12/2019 at 10:46

It gets cross shared to Oppo, Groupthink, Backtalk, and WhiteNoise. It generally goes up on Friday between 11am and noon eastern time. I don't know if you have commenting privileges on GT but if not someone will pull you out of the grays and follow you for GT.

MAYBE!

Gosh, it’s been ages since I’ve done a Spokes event. I’m kinda broke right now, though, and trying to do something dumb at the end of the month, so we’ll see.

fair enough, I know you have to plan expenses. take a look at the schedule and put us on there! only $30 to hang out with like minded gearheads for the day (with a little ra cing in there)

Hey I’m right now (this moment) watching the start of the VLN Nurburgring race live for free on youtube and I don’t know if you’re up to date on all of the youtube livestream racing series available (of which I am aware):

International GT Open

GT4 European Series

Japanese F3

DTM

Those are the ones that should broadcast (and archive) live.

Apologies for this thing which kinja won’t let me remove, but helped me realize that I’ve got to paste this stuff using the URL function:

Sadly, we lost NISMO, who are now only focusing on their formula e racers and not on all nissan racers globally, which is BULLSHIT because they were the only ones with english super gt coverage. I blame their complete abandonment of the GT-R , but it’s really bizarre because they just put out a brand new GT-R GT500 racer for last season, and it should be racing this season. It’s worth asking Sam Collins about what happened. He was the announcer, works for RLM, writes for Racecar Engineering. We international fans want to know the story.

Hell yeah, I miss running autocrosses.

Stef Schrader > Let's try it out!
04/13/2019 at 17:53

Boo for Nismo dropping their excellent streams. :( Are you sure you’re commenting on the right article, though? I don’t handle the Weekend Motorsports Roundup anymore.

Let's try it out! > Stef Schrader
04/13/2019 at 22:20

I am commenting on the right article (or the latest one you’ve published), I know you’re like me these days, and any free source of race streaming is what you need. TBH the VLN nurburgring thing made me think of you.

193 cars on the grid and it got snowed out.

Stef Schrader > Let's try it out!
04/15/2019 at 02:25

D’oh! That’s the Nürburgring, though. They’ve had snow- and hail-outs before. Mountain life! (And to think I want to retire there. Haha.)

Also, SWEET. Thanks for the heads-up, then!

If you watch anything this month, Super Taikyu is the one to go with:

https://supertaikyu.com/english/

It’s Japan’s Run What You Brung series. My favorite teams are the all female former gang members (there were two last year!).

I’m going to be at VIR watching the Blancpain GT (formerly PWC) race when it happens, sadly, and if last year is any indication I’ll have utterly shit cell reception.

Stef Schrader > Let's try it out!
04/16/2019 at 00:00

Something I’ve learned at many race weekends: cell service is a bonus, not a given.

Let's try it out! > Stef Schrader
04/16/2019 at 02:47

When I went to the IMSA race at VIR last year, I asked about the potential for cell or wifi service. Apparently, they used to have it. Logistically, it wouldn’t be hard to do.

Then some ass decided to use it to torrent something. They got a letter, and it was ruined for everyone. Who even knows if the torrent user just forgot it was still on? All it takes is one inconsiderate person.

Did Travis hire you to write for R&T yet? Because he needs to get on that.

Spamfeller Loves Nazi Clicks > Stef Schrader

For maximum hilarity, I need to get a photo from IMSA at Mid-Ohio this year.

Specifically, a screenshot of my cell phone camera pointing at a Verizon permanent cell site, with an AT&T wireless banner, and my T-Mobile showing no service.

Stef Schrader > Let's try it out!
04/16/2019 at 17:40

Dang, that sucks. I get it, though. Most of the tracks I’ve been to mostly keep it to an office or a passworded connection.

Stef Schrader > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com
04/16/2019 at 17:44

No, but that’s a good crew over there and I wouldn’t mind it.
