Big change from a Subaru....

 

[Calicaps]

I never got the whole diesel love thing till reading the comments of Jalopnik posts on the VW cheating scandal and then I could understand why. My seminal early driving was in the 80s and impression diesel's had on me were pretty negative as there were smokey exhaust benz whose entire rear of the car was like charcoal stained, heh.

Everyone's were. We all thought of buses and Oldsmobiles. But the new diesel's are amazing. In the Touareg and now the GC, I can go 500+ miles on a tank. And diesel is cheaper per gallon. Before the Touareg, I had a 1999 4Runner, which I loved. But that think went 130?? I could never go back.

Big change from a Subaru....

Definitely the dimensions (super paranoid about parking) take a bit getting used to. Grew up driving with RWD cars so no big deal there I feel some of that coming back already. Main tricky thing its naturally rocking summer tires so winter/inclement weather I really need to be a grandma driving.

Man that is a lot of miles. Funny thing is gas mileage is about the same comparing the WRX and Camaro though the Camaro gets better highway (6th gear probably).

The old fantasy league thread is closed so posting here...

I'm looking for a replacement in the dynasty league I run (free, 14-team Yahoo! h2h with 25-player roster, 8-player farm team and prospects). The team hasn't been terribly well run for a while but it has Matthews, Forsberg, Eichel, Zibanejad, Wennberg & Burakovsky to start with. A few posters here are in the league. If you're up for a challenge it could be turned around pretty quickly. Greiss is its best goalie so that's a weak area but with some day-to-day interest and activity depth and competitiveness could be improved pretty easily.

Took my 82 year old Dad for a spin. Probably the best comment during the ride, "It moves your insides!"

Wow that's pretty.

Chick magnet? Definitely not a baby car seat type of car.

Any speeding tickets yet? haha

It gets eye banged by dudes A LOT, heh. Caught a fellow camaro bro dude taking a side pic with his phone while we were going 70mph on the beltway. Also a streetbiker passing me then twisting around giving the car a thumbs up.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Did anyone get any Caps/hockey related gifts this year? I got an Ovechkin 2015 Winter Classic jersey and it looks great in person.

 

[Calicaps]

I gave infant-size Caps sweaters to my sister who’s expecting twins next month.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Merry Christmas all. My daughter got a Caps LEGO ice rink and a few LEGO players.

Who watches Designated Survivor?

Who watches Designated Survivor?

I watched like the first three episodes...got bored.

 

[strungout]

Im currently binging Narcos. This show is fantastic!

 

[hb12xchamps]

I just got done with the latest season of Peaky Blinders and it was another great season. Love the fact that they are only 6 episodes of 1hr each so there's not a ton of boring filler involved

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Who watches Designated Survivor?

I watched season 1, pretty good and not my type of series. I’m waiting for the President to reveal himself as Jack Bauer!

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I’ve heard Narcos bores after season 1.

I might check it out someday.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Watched all three Madagascar movies with my daughter this past weekend. They're actually really, really good.

That's a little true. Season 1 is definitely more action packed than season 2. I couldn't get into the new story arc of season 3 and stopped halfway through and haven't really picked it back up again. Plus a main character from the first two seasons wasn't in season 3 and they never really talk about why

I recently watched Back to the Future with my 6 yr old. Was surprised how well it held up and how much she loved it.

It’s because the real character didn’t stay on for the Cali Cartel aspect in reality...and really the other guy didn’t either...they brought his character back just to continue some of the fictional stuff they added in.

To me...season 2 was even better than one with the downfall of Pablo (this isn’t a spoiler since it’s based on fact) Just fantastic acting from that dude.

Just started season 3.

 

[strungout]

This show is basically The Latin America Wire.

Which is a good thing...4 episodes to go in season 3

Barstool fires Michael Rapaport after Twitter meltdown

Epic...

 

[twabby]

Barstool is a cesspool

 

[hb12xchamps]

Disagree. A lot of the Barstool “talent” stinks, but the PMT podcast has been a great listen. PFT and Big Cat get most of their guests to show another side of themselves compared to traditional boring media

 

[twabby]

Barstool is the epitome of toxic masculinity and I'd rather they just go away.

Barstool. Hates. Women.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Their CEO is a woman, their CRO is a woman, they have content driven directly for women that is made by a two of their paid interns who are women, they even have women working on their Sirius XM channel now. The whole mentality that Barstool is nothing but a bunch of sexist pigs making derogatory comments towards females is a false narrative spewed out by media for clicks.

The president and founder Dave Portnoy is mainly the one who says stupid shit on the internet that's harmful to women but the whole gang isn't that way. You just have to weed through their content and find the good guys, hence why I brought up the Pardon My Take podcast. The PMT guys are some of the most level headed of the Barstool gang and will eventually outgrow the Barstool brand.
