01:16.45 | gn00bie | what? scott is ~shaking? |
01:47.47 | orange | gn00bie: your lug nuts are too tight |
01:53.24 | gn00bie | orange: :P |
01:53.38 | gn00bie | people usually tell me I have loose screws, not tight |
01:55.20 | orange | gn00bie: well, that too |
01:55.24 | orange | but I mean your warped rotors |
01:55.43 | orange | I didn't know you actually had a shimmy... it's not as funny now :-) |
01:58.08 | gn00bie | orange: it is very very faint |
01:58.25 | gn00bie | you need a combination of a wet day, uneven road surface, and hard braking |
01:58.46 | gn00bie | the problem with being an auto engineer is that there is something always wrong with your car |
01:58.50 | gn00bie | it is never perfect |
02:00.41 | gn00bie | the rotors are just overmatched for this car's weight, I will get something better when it is time to replace |
02:01.04 | gn00bie | the car's weight, and my treatment of all inputs to the vehicle as binary |
02:01.14 | orange | perhaps a regenerative braking system |
02:01.21 | orange | binary, that's a good one |
02:02.06 | gn00bie | these are good ones, a friend has them on his bimmer http://www.frozenrotors.com/ |
02:03.15 | gn00bie | I am really tough on the cars that I drive |

02:17.03 | orange | gn00bie: many people never have to change the brake pads on their prius |
02:17.06 | orange | as in, ever |
02:28.38 | gn00bie | orange: next time I am in the south, we need to ride in each other's car |
02:28.52 | gn00bie | you show me what you like about the prius, I should you what I like about the GTO |
02:29.26 | orange | that's not really fair |
02:29.39 | orange | you'll probably fall asleep, and I'll have a myocardial infarction |
02:29.54 | gn00bie | no no |
02:30.09 | gn00bie | my favourite GTO moments are the one of cruising around lazily at 35 mph |
02:31.05 | gn00bie | let me put it this way - when you had a wrist watch, was it 30 m waterproof? |
02:31.24 | orange | naturally |
02:32.24 | gn00bie | now what are the chances of you going 30 m under water with the watch on? |
02:32.44 | gn00bie | the worst that could happen was splash when washing hands, or getting caught outside in the rain |
02:32.50 | orange | or swimming |
02:33.03 | orange | but yeah, 3m |
02:33.07 | gn00bie | oh yeah, I forgot about your pool |
02:33.27 | gn00bie | but it is still nice to know that if you really really had to, you could go 30 m under water and not damage your watch |
02:33.43 | orange | however, I sometimes rinse off with a fire hose |
02:33.50 | gn00bie | same thing here, it is good to know that I can go 170 mph, get to 60 in under 5 |
02:34.03 | gn00bie | you rarely do either, but it feels nice to have that option |
02:34.13 | orange | nothing wrong with the 0-60, it's the 170mph that would worry me :-) |
02:34.28 | orange | acceleration is fun, pure speed is dangerous |
02:34.50 | gn00bie | now I do respect the arguments of the CO2phobic crowd, the watch's carbon footprint is trivial, the GTO on the other hand.. |
02:35.11 | orange | just plant a few trees |
02:35.27 | gn00bie | a tree fixes maybe 50 lbs of CO2 per year |
02:35.44 | gn00bie | over half a ton goes out of the GTO tail pipe per year |
02:36.11 | orange | plant a forest :-) |
02:36.15 | gn00bie | what is the fastest you have gone in a car? |
02:36.32 | orange | or a small grove |
02:36.48 | orange | hmmm, I went 120 in a Mustang GT |
02:37.02 | orange | that's pretty much it |
02:37.06 | gn00bie | my SC-GA stateline to NC-SC stateline romp was done at an average of 101.3 mph |
02:37.17 | gn00bie | I will let you fill in the blanks |
02:37.32 | orange | ack |
02:37.42 | orange | ~synflood gn00bie |
02:37.43 | gn00bie | there is nothing wrong with the speed, as long as you have the equipment and training to do it, the road can let you, and the other drivers are disciplines |
02:37.49 | gn00bie | disciplined |
02:38.06 | gn00bie | the problem is usually other drivers, with roads a close second in the frost heave prone north |
02:38.14 | orange | or you don't have a blowout |
02:38.26 | gn00bie | 193.x miles, 1 hour 54 minutes |
02:38.35 | gn00bie | I do not cheap out on tires, the GTO tires are 200 a pop |
02:38.40 | gn00bie | so a tire change is a grand |
02:38.59 | orange | they aren't immune to all road hazards though |
02:39.26 | gn00bie | true, nails, small furry animals, deer, tread separation debris, etc |
02:39.43 | orange | bumpers |
02:40.01 | gn00bie | there are a surprising number of bumpers on 75 in GA, I dunno why |
02:40.51 | gn00bie | to me, the GTO is symbolic of something |
02:41.01 | gn00bie | that sense of endless power |
02:41.12 | gn00bie | the triumph of torque over intelligence |
02:41.30 | gn00bie | vs. the relentless quest of efficiency in case of the prius |
02:41.42 | gn00bie | and the triumph of intelligence over everything else |
02:50.20 | gn00bie | and now |
02:50.22 | gn00bie | bed time |
02:50.28 | orange | zzz |

16:20.58 | ndim | Oh my. |
16:21.38 | kierra | i know, scary thought indeed |
16:21.53 | ndim | I'm still thinking whether you'll get to meet the ndim with the beard, the ndim with the sideburns, or the shaven one. |
16:22.56 | ndim | I guess laziness will emerge victorious, i.e. the beard. |
16:26.03 | kierra | nah, i like facial hair |
16:26.23 | kierra | i met Les when he had a mustache |
16:26.56 | kierra | then he shaved it about 16 yrs ago....but I lobbied for it to come back and it has |

18:08.01 | ndim | Problem is that then I'd need to keep shaving. |
18:08.18 | orange | would be fun, though |
18:08.39 | ndim | Which I am too lazy to do, so I prefer the beard. Cut every few weeks, and that's all I need to do about it. |
18:08.51 | ndim | But indeed, that would be fun. |
