Plus there's literally nothing cheap about these cars and they always require obscure tools.

I had a 1978 911 I got from the side of the road for $7,800

Every piece of rubber on that car was rotten and falling off. Some of the pieces aren't even manufactured anymore.

I drove it around for the summer and sold it to someone else for basically what I paid for it.

If you think fixing a 15 year old Audi is costly you don't have Porsche money.

This exactly.
Quite amusing he thinks he is going to find any parts in a junkyard.

Ok but why the safety goggles?

Flu says that he broke his glasses and had to superglue them. The goggles ensured they didn't fall off.

Personally I think they are fans of Milo Stewart.

Just imagine being that cashier. The store's about to close on Christmas Eve and these fucking weirdos decide to do last minute shopping. Not only that, but the fucking cunts then start taking pictures of themselves in the checkout line. No one is paid enough to deal with that shit, but certainly not grocery store checkout staff.

If I was that front end support guy I'd just take out the call center and end myself. Fuck that shit.

Nah, the better idea would be to try and pawn Flu off to the supervisory manager. Let Flu hang themselves - just give them enough rope to do it.

This is a person who thought the Porsche inflated it's own tires.

...what. I must have missed this somehow, but Wu legit thought that a Porsche from decades ago could inflate its own tires? I'm pretty damn sure the most expensive, in-the-billions pricetag luxury cars can't do that!

It's in the Podcast he was in a few pages ago.
However, he was talking about his newest toy... the Cayman.

Self inflating tires are the least of his issues since the low oil light came on soon after he drove off the lot.

That explains it - can't stand Flu's voice, honestly, so I didn't bother listening to the podcast.

Yep. John and Frank like to unwind out in the garage resorting old classics.

I've known some people over the years who have been into restoring and building cars and bikes or have been involved with various amateur motor sports. Nothing about the hobby is cheap. Most of them who are into it have serious garages or trailers full of expensive gear, years upon years of experience, and a network of people around them who are also into the local scene who can lend out gear and help each other out. I don't see John being successful in such circles. It's not because he is trans, but because he and Frank are both such intolerable goons. You know that if John goes down this route, he is going to make Frank buy really high end gear (e.g. Snap-On tools etc) that John won't take care of and which will ultimately just collect dust as soon as John realizes the actual effort involved in what he claims to be into doing.

I, like many of you, find it amusing to see the ways in which John burns through Frank's money. We might soon be at a point where it's becoming unsustainable. John dumps a lot of coin into vidya, figurines, and Apple gear but all of those things are peanuts in comparison to this kind of stuff. The only other rich white guy hobbies that come to mind which are bigger money pits are sailing, aviation and horse breeding. Getting a pilot's licence requires actual effort so that's out. We all know John's history of taking care of animals, so I don't see the horse thing in the cards either. I think we should somehow plant the seed in his mind that he needs a boat to go with his Porsche.

Good points. One of the clues that Flynt/Wu didn't do any major work on the TT is the absence of any photos of any of the tools that would be required. If he actually owned a set of the tools needed for serious auto repair and restoration, he'd have posted multiple images.

Jesus. Why don't they just go out for Chinese food like everyone else who doesn't celebrate Christmas?
I can't imagine anything more depressing that spending Christmas eating readymeal tacos with a snarling tranny.

lol wtf are you guys talking about akami for? brianna isn't using some complicated content delivery network. wu just pays for this:

at least half of the people that make fun of Wu for being an engineer are, themselves, not engineers.

edit: Got bored. The domain is registerd with hover.com, which charged $15/yr for a .com. Ouch. The IP points to Tucows, so basically Wu bought a super overpriced hosting package via Hover (which is a marked up Tucows reseller).

tl;dr: it's not even foursquare.

That's an akamai error code and cid. Many hosting services will serve your content out of akamai even if you've never even heard the name.
 
Null said:
yes but my point is it's irrelevant to diagnose the issue and blame it on wu when the issue is wu can't even seem to figure out how to point a domain at an IP

Maybe he couldn't even figure out how to process a payment to whatever the fuck he's using. Brianna's as stupid as I am drunk. Which right now is very. Edit: where's the fucking wumas memes null?

The tech's mostly in Truck Tires to try and stop random blow outs which still happen with alarming frequency on the roads. So there's basically small cannisters of air in the inner tube which unleash more air to keep it stable.

Tech's impractical in car tires.
