Is the dotted line your intended route?

Yes and no. My filed route was just to the airports I was making approaches at, but ATC added in vectors to the initial fixes for the approaches I asked for, so that's what I'm guessing all the extra points are - aids for them to help steer me around to get me on course.
 
Yes, if its not art, it's ad pollution. If its ad pollution, its mind control. Sometimes, but increasingly rare, ads are good :angel:

I actually like those but I’ll never ever understand why one would bother seeking out a JDM car we can already find here much cheaper. RHD is a bug of importing cool forbidden fruit cars from the far east, not a feature for models you can already get here in trivially different spec.

It's the nostalgia factor. Many those of us wanting RHD grew up in the time of the original Fast & Furious and those cars were the shit we all wanted. Yeah, I'd get myself an RHD myself if I could, lol.

There's a RHD Supra in my area that attends the local Cars and Coffee. I've seen it on the streets a few times as well. It's real near for sure.

Besides the Supra, I've also seen a couple R34 / R33 Skylines, and Civics.

It's super cool to see a RHD vehicle, IMO.

I don’t see mark IV supras enough to care whether they’re RHD or LHD…. Furthermore if you’re going to go through the trouble of importing one for that novelty why would you tint the windows so nobody even notices????

A skyline? Yeah likewise of course those are head turners by their rarity and exoticness and only ever were made RHD. But a Civic? An Outback wagon? That to me is just someone way too into anime that overpaid for a car they could find on marketplace in LHD form for $2000.

And I did grow up when the first fast and the furious was out, I saw it in the theaters when I was like 10… only cars I wanted in THAT one was the LHD 70 Charger… or the second gen Lightning Brian had in the beginning 😂 I remember the sequels like Tokyo Drift being more RHD heavy for a obvious reasons.

I mean I love Mad Max movies and in general really like Australian Fords , Holdens and Valiants directly as a result of them…. But I don’t care in the slightest about them being RHD, it’s everything else about the cars I find cool.

I see enough of them over here to appreciate them and admire them when I see one. Also, it seems you don't care about JDM cars as much, and that's cool too.

That’s only true in that I don’t find a JDM version of a car sold globally any more special than one sold there. It would be like someone from Australia seeking out a LHD Mustang because it’s USDM.

I like a lot of Japanese cars, and yeah there are some models/configurations/states of tune in JDM spec that were superior to what ROW got. I get seeking out THOSE and putting up with RHD. Seeking out RHD in a mundane global model for the sake of it being JDM just seems like someone more into the culture of JDM than the JDM car itself. It’s basically just a LARP.

Tried tinting the front windows of my truck today. Precut tint from the Tint Effect was not even close. My window is rolled down 2" and you can see it doesn't even reach the bottom of the window in that position. I think this was for a sports car since it was a bit long too. What's worse, is I took both door cards off and cleaned both windows before opening the package. Even more disgusting was that the passenger side was for a completely different vehicle that has a little quarter window. IDK how it's possible to mess up that bad.

Second project of the day was to clean and reassemble one of my Uncle's reels. He passed away back in May and we found these in his kitchen cupboard. Safe to say they hadn't been cleaned in decades. I only had the time and patience for one today, but it turned out good.
 
Speaking of mountain biking, here are the pictures of Airline trails in Charlotte that I promised. This is by far the best bike park in the area. Since it’s located near the airport each trail has an aviation associated name. My favorite trail name is the return trail named baggage claim. There are some massive - break your neck - jump ramps in this park along with great turns, flowing trails and, of course, hill climbs.

This place looks like it's one where a "bad landing" has happened more than once, lol.

Trails look great though!
