    World Rally Championship

    Any other WRC fans around? Of everything the pandemic has affected, I'm probably the most bummed about the 2020 season being a wash. With all the team moves and return to some classic venues, it was shaping up to be awesome :(

    What do you miss from your previous car?

    I always loved those 90s Celicas. My dad had a '91 when I was younger. Super Red II, looked amazing, and was a lot of fun to ride in (assuming you weren't in the back). That was also at the peak of Toyota reliability and ease of maintenance. If I had the time and money to take it on as a...

    What do you miss from your previous car?

    I didn't care much for my 2012 Passat, but the one thing I miss is climatronic. It was the best A/C system I've ever had in a car. Our recent Nissans have also had dual-zone automatic climate control, but it's not as good. VW's was the only one I've experienced that's truly "set it and forget it."

    I'm too old. Everything these days is plastidip or wrap. Nobody paints anything anymore (shakes fist at cloud)

    My version of this would be the heater core, and sharpie-out the red section of the temperature dial.

    Loaded question..What does your screen name mean?

    Phthalo blue is a paint color with pigment based on the compound phthalocyanine (there's also a phthalo green). It's all pronounced "thay-lo." As a young artist in high school I adopted Phthalo Blue as a screen name, because it was based in my interests and it was an uncommon and interesting...

    PC Building

    Kinda? I like home networking as a hobby, and I just recently got a NAS server set up. At a different house I used to have a Raspberry Pi on my network running a standalone ADS-B receiver--decoding transponder signals transmitted from aircraft and tracking them real-time, like a homemade air...

    PC Building

    I like that 3rd gen Ryzen enables the PCIe 4.0 spec, where 2nd gen limits it to 3.0, so I can get the most from my NVMe. Doesn't help my GPU since it only supports 3.0, but I had future-proofing in mind when picking the CPU and mobo in particular. How's the IPS display look? I think I spent...
