Not too many people do. Plus, it's poorly fitted, and often you'll see the rubber gasket squeezed out of place.

Glad I have the spoiler instead of the chrome lip.

Portnoy was the drunmmer for Dream Theatre. But has since left to do his own thing.
My last comment on drummers is this historical tidbit. Carl Palmer used to practice with Buddy Rich & Buddy Rich acknowledged that Carl was the man. When I listen to Palmer's solos I hear so much of Buddy's awesomeness it's amazing.

No offense, but there's many styling 'touches' on the G that I personally have a hard time warming up to. Even though I know that under the skin its an awesome automobile. Since aesthetics are subjective I'll leave it at that.

Congrats!

The first 2 years of a child's life, you try to teach them to walk and talk. The next 16 years, you try to get them to sit down and shut up

11 months. She turns a year on July 13th. The year blew by so fast. I remember announcing it on the original ghustle thread the moment I found out she was pregnant.

They're not bad, they're just tiring... Be prepared to average 4 hours of sleep a night for a few months and learn how to be a good burper. Changing diapers is no big deal until they get on solid foods and it really starts to stink... Other than that, having a little one is really amazing. Just try not to freak out the first time they get sick (which they will). It doesn't usually happen until after they stop breast feeding though.

Congratulations, brother!! Looking forward to shaking your hand in a month!

Here is my secret to sort of getting around that. I changed maybe 6 or 7 poopy diapers EVER doing this. Always always help your wife to change diapers. Sit on the floor with the little one and put their head between your legs and simply help hold their bottom up while your wife does the business end. You might smell it, but your face isn't in it, and your wife appreciates the contribution. She'll resist some at first, but after a few major gags on your part she'll get concerned that you might actually up-chuck on your baby and simply take over. It works brother.

BTW, don't let your wife see this for God's sake!

First few months are the scariest because you're worried about doing everything wrong when in actuallity, you're probably doing everything right.

So i was at the stealership today, and while i was talking to a Nissan mechanic, i asked him outright is there a way to diagnose oil burning 5.5 gens before you buy them, and i'm almost willing to bet he's making it up, but he claims if it's burning a decent amount of oil, compression will be low in one or more cylinders? IDK. This just seems to easy.

Changing a baby is easy compared to changing an adult diaper! Especially when you need to clean up the wrinkles or fat old folk, where the poo gets imbedded in the cracks. It's even better if they've got C-Diff, it smells like a burning tire filled w/crap. Noro-Virus isn't good either, since it's coming out both ends at once. Why I can't eat breakfast on work days.
Now isn't everyone glad I shared!

The last few days, i've heard a rattle/clunk noise coming from under the front of the car. Looks like it's the factory pre-cat Y-pipe. It made all kinds of noise when I banged on it with the side of my fist, and the flex section looks pretty rotted, too.
