  1. Wrong thread.

    Also,

    This is kinda really monkeyed up.

    Totally!- the backstory is the guy is a professional stunt man and and he and his son have fun practicing and creeping people out.

    Actually, now that I think about it, I certainly don't mean to post any triggers for people so perhaps it should be taken down.

    Apologies.

    I saw it and imagined the fun bonding, not the trauma reminder.

  2. Holy stuff man... So I was at work today and my girlfriend texts me saying my dad came and took one of my snowboards for my sister to use today I was like yeah thats fine. No problem right? Wrong my sisters too small for it and im 99% sure he sold it on me with the reasoning that I hadnt used it in years. It was at my grandmothers in storage and was still there I thought until I moved here and found out my uncle put it here when hemoved in there.sure I have another board but the bindings are toast and that board had been used like 10 times ever. Im pretty sure I have the shittiest parents ever.

  3. Pretty sure the issue is more weight than the act of towing. Because it keeps it spooled up, and heats up the oil. But ours are also coolant-cooled and pretty sure a tow hitch was a dealer option. Just be easy on the gas pedal if you want to keep it cool. Another issue is transmission fluid temperatures, but again, not sure how significant that is with modest loads and a factory cooler.

    I would be concerned w transmission, not the turbo.

    Manual shift the at a/t if it starts to hunt. I would rather the engine winds than the trans shifts.

    An external cooler would add some piece of mind.

  4. were there any prior symptoms for your cousin?

    Guy had no known medical issue but I think he had a massive heart attack.

    Speaking of which, found out today that a double cousin who's my age has been diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome. He had something like 7 endurance type races booked for the next 10 weeks (cycling and high altitude cross country), endurance sports is his life. Talk about a lifestyle change, he can't do any of it anymore.
