did you take the restrictor plate off to give the red dragon  little more juice?     

It was the Knight Rider style, not the Smokey and the Bandit style. 1982 model. Pretty much the all time low of GM engineering. I think it had 165 hp. So no, there wasn’t a little more juice. There was barely any juice at all.

The Pioneer 6x9s made Iron Maiden sound pretty good though.

Yes! This was how it was done back in the day, kids!

Don't worry, I'll keep it on the down low.

Yeah, I had a 1983 Mustang with a four banger, four speed stick shift. A pinto almost certainly had more hp. I bought it in NM, where I didn’t need A/C, and in the fall of 1986, moved to Texas, where I did. I had the 2/60 AC model until 1994. 
Not much of a Maiden fan, but I’d crank up the DLR Van Halen on my JVCs. Cassette years. 
edit:  just looked it up. I think my lawnmower has more hp.

I'd "rage rep" that HP post, but I don't wanna neg you.  Wish we had a way to "dislike" without dinging.

About a month ago I switched the dryer door from right hand open to left hand open.  The Mrs has just now figured out the difference and insists I bought a new dryer.  LOL.

Were you especially bored the day you switched door sides?  

Not really, the laundry room is the first thing you come into from one of the garage entry doors.  That particular day,, someone didn't get the dryer closed all the way as I opened the garage entry door the two clashed I stumbled in.  It wasn't an issue until it involved me getting tangled up.  I'm not a mind reader, if no one tells me it's an issue then I don't know.  Have you ever tried to read a woman's mind?  To make it worse, I married aggy.  Furk me.

Bump. I spent my birthday painting this bedroom today, as we are selling the house and she's all "I can't paint the room I'm pregnant". TOUCHE WIFE. Also the obvious gun to my head back and forth with the realtor to convince my wife that yes it would be better to sell the house without a weird harry potter dungeon. "Hey just wanted to get your opinion on how we should prioritize our time staging the house - should we go ahead and put the effort into painting the guest bedroom?"

"Oh I'm so conflicted it's very fun but I think buyers will appreciate a more neutral approach in that room"

Unbelievable dude lol Jesus mercy. That must have been quite a conversation. 
 

I guess the good news is you still have all the decor so you can just go ahead and set up another one in your new house.

Which translates to "Get rid of that shit or you can find a new realtor for the house"

Opportunity to really go over the top, you shoulda changed gears and said "I don't need a mint". Kept the game going, somewhere down the line you'd be "where wolf",  "there wolf".

I’ve always been fascinated with your hogwarts themed guest room and I’ve only seen the first Harry Potter.

 

 

Have your realtor wear a Gryfindore T-shirt to give the showings some flavor.

 

 

Those lights, lmfao

Seriously. A Harry Potter themed bedroom? Oy vey. #KeepAustinWeird tho!

Missed opportunity.  When she said she needs lint, you should have walked to the dryer and pulled some out of the lint screen and handed it to her.

We have an hallway closet my wife calls "the gift closet".  When we had our first child 9 years ago, she decided it would be a good idea to buy about 20 presents for various ages and both genders because of all of the birthday parties we were going to be invited to, and "this will just be easier than having to worry about buying a present each time."  We have 3 boys now, have been to countless birthday parties, and I can think of exactly one present that has been used.  Every time I suggest using a gift from the closet, there some reason why it won't work.  It's been 9 years, and we literally still have those same presents she bought all those years ago.

Hits close to home. On the plus side, toys in their original packing can be super valuable. You just need another 20 or so years and you’ll be golden!

Your wife does laundry?

Does she wash them again, or does she just move them to the dryer like a day later which makes them smell mildewy?

Guess which one my wife does...

It turns out wrinkle-free clothes can indeed wrinkle if you leave them in the dryer for a few days.

If that didn’t happen how would the lint filter ever get cleaned?

I know people who would buy that house BECAUSE of the Harry Potter room. If they had any money.

A while back the wife prepaid for a years worth of probiotics where they mail you a new bottle every two weeks. I told her not to, but it was such a good deal. Guess what I just found...

not sure why you are complaining, she clearly has used up 1 or 2 bottles.

Is your wife the only one who doesn't do much of anything after getting home from work & then starts a load maybe 30 minutes before she goes to sleep & expects you to stay up long enough to make certain they get completely dry & taken out, then laid in a "non-wrinkly" fashion?

It also turns out clothes will apparently not wrinkle while sitting in the dryer for a day or two, but if you take them OUT of the dryer & don't lay them out in a "non-wrinkly" fashion, that apparently makes them wrinkle.
