Driving without a destination, literally just driving, is the most relaxing thing.
I had a rough day, so I got in my car, and just drove. From 2-5pm I just drove around, one hour some music, one hour no music, last hour favorite songs.
Just you, your car, and the road.
Peaceful

Hello Flood, Today I will be discussing Pagani's newest hyper car, the Huayra.  Specifically the first 1 of 1 edition of the Huayra, La Monza Lisa. Owned by, Kris Singh. Also the owner of the Verde Veneno (1 of 3 Original Veneno's). This is a car I have sat in, been driven around in, and have learned about, extensively. It is a car I have grown a deep appreciation for. So let us begin. The Huayra is the brain child of Horacio Pagani, founder of Pagani. It is the 2nd car they have created, following the various types or Zonda's. It is also the most popular. It features an active aero system, 2 fins on front, 2 fins on the back, that go up and down to give the driver maximum grip in everything thing he does. It is also the epitome of automotive craftsmanship. For example, we move to it it's body/chassis. It is entirely a carbon shell. Although not uncommon, it is carbon infused with titanium. The result? A dry weight of 2,980lbs. And one of the strongest shells ever built. But the true craftsmanship takes form in both it's engine, and it's interior. It's engine, the twin turbo M158 V12. La Monza Lisa has a specially crafted M158, which has classified specification. It was produced by Mercedes AMG's (all Pagani engines are made by the AMG division) top mechanic, Michael Kübler. A vast majority of the cars internals are in fact carbon fiber. The basic engine produces 720 bhp. Top speed of 231 MPH. Moving onto the interior, and with this comes a story.  When Kris ordered the car, he wanted the same red interior he had seen a Zonda pictured with. But the red in the picture, was brighter, and deeper then the real life counterpart actually was. So, noticing Kris' dissapointment, Horacio Pagani had the interior color custom made. After dozens of trial and error tests, they managed to match the color. Every aluminum fitting, from the air vents, to the manual stick (not a genuine manual, step tronic, but there to give the drivers feel.) are all made from their own aluminum block. The small buttons on the center console are shaved and shaped to the shape of the keys on a clarinet, an instrument Horacio Pagani plays. Every intricate design, it's own independent block. The finest leather you can buy, straight from Argentina. A 6 point harness (the hole in the seat) all standard. It truly is a work of art. Specifications for Basic Huayra: Engine: V12 Twin Turbo M158 AMG Engine Horsepower: 720bhp Transmission: 7 Speed Sequential Drive: RWD Weight: 2,980lbs Top Speed: 231 MPH 0-60MPH: 3.2 seconds MPG: 21 PRICE: 1,600,000 USD That's all!

 Instead of having Sat Nav show up on a screen in the middle of the car, why not put it on your display. Either have half GPS and half with speedometer, or full screen GPS (awesome, would take a picture with it on full screen, but that's a bad idea.) Wasn't a fan at first, but it's pretty damn sweet.

I asked this girl out, not like on a date, but to date her. She said no, unfortunately, but we ended up having sex (we've been having sex for like 6 months)
So I'm pretty confused now, we hooked up a lot yesterday too. And now I'm dealing with that awkward moment, where I'm not necessarily mad, but confused. Everyone thinks we are dating, everyone wants us to be dating, she hints at it, we act like we are, but we aren't.
So flood, the fuck is this
Most of you have seen who I'm talking about, she's been in a few photos here and there. Co-pilot

For example, my father was a POW. He fought on the governments side in the civil war in Nicaragua in the 70's. He was going to be executed, but they could not accuse him of any war crimes (he was an officer) and when they called for his name, he said goodbye to all his friends, as they were periodically being taken out and executed. They took him out of the cell, and at the end of the hallway he saw his mom. She had begged for his life and because they couldn't get him on anything, they let him go.
That's a very short summary, it's a crazy story though.
How about you?

Will you be attending the Miami international Car Show?
Tell me flood.
Also, story time.
In my life, I have never had a bad experience with the police, tonight was no different. Usually, when I do get pulled over, it's by my neighbor who is checking to make sure no one stole one of my cars lol. Unless he is next to me and can clearly see it's me in the car. But today I got pulled over because he saw a kid driving an expensive car. I didn't break any laws, but I understand why he did what he did. Pulled me over, asked for my information, told me he was just checking to make sure I owned the car. Came back, gave me my license back. We talked a bit, casual conversation, let him sit in the passenger seat and talked him through a few things, he took pictures, and we both told eachother to have a safe night.
Cops are cool people, and maybe I'm lucky that there are no asshole cops any where near me. In fact, I've never met anyone that has had bad experiences with cops. With anything. So give them the benefit of the doubt, if your speeding, your speeding. If your driving like a dick, your driving like a dick. They aren't out to get you. Speaking from my perspective.
TL;DR, cops are straight as fuck

Hello Flood,
No, this is not about me leaving. This is about me openly apologizing for my behavior on this website. I know many of you will jump to the conclusion and say "your taking the internet to seriously", and maybe I am, but I feel as if I should do this. First, I want to say sorry to three individuals. Noelle, RC, and Vien. I antagonized you by saying you wanted me to leave, I understand how unfair it was, and I'm sorry for jumping to such a rash conclusion. I appreciate your tolerance of me, and I'm sorry for putting you on blast for something that was untrue and unfair. All three of you are great people, and I appreciate your company.
Now this is for the lot of you. And specifically some of you, who point it out more often then others. I understand I got off on the wrong foot with you guys, and I realize why some of you see me in a negative light. I get it, I really do. I never intended to come across in the ways I did, and I'm sorry. If anything I ever say bothered you, annoyed you, or angered you, I'm genuinely sorry. It was never my intention. I never meant to brag about anything, and I understand I talk about it more then normal. So I decided to cut it out entirely. I don't want to be seen as an asshole, or someone who has an inflated ego. I don't think I'm better then any of you, it would be stupid to think that. I actually think some of you are better then me. A huge amount of you are genuinely good people, and I think it's unfair that I came across in the manner I did. I won't speak of my cars, or any of that, anymore. I realize it's inappropriate for the broader scope, and I see how it can be changed into something negative. I genuinely understand where you guys come from when you tell me and call me out. I do.
I enjoy all of you, and your company. A lot of you are people I would not mind meeting in real life. And because of that I feel I must treat you like I treat everyone else. Regardless if I may never see, or meet you, I still value you as a human being. I don't care if I'm interacting with that person through a computer screen (or phone if you go mobile). I'm not changing who I am because of this, I just realize something's aren't meant to be shared. It's reasonable.
I hope I can fix how some of you think of me, obviously I can't change all of your opinions, but I want to try.
That's all I have to say

 Today I will be discussing another Hybrid Hyper car. The Porsche 918 w/ The Weissach performance package. This is Porsche's successor to the legendary CGT (Carrera GT). It's also Porsche's entry into the hybrid front. And much like McLaren and Ferrari, they chose to do it with a hyper car, and by having it be a successor to one of their track legends. At first you can tell it's a Porsche. It has sleek lines, and is generally timid. Not necessarily aggressive. But it isn't a car to be taken lightly. It is the fastest production car to ever go around the Nurburgring (unless McLaren releases the P1's official time). 887 horsepower (both diesel and electric motors working parallel) 214 mph top speed 940lb per ft of Torque 67 MPG 7-Speed dual clutch (PDK) 3602 lbs 0-60mph in a supposed 2.5 seconds 1/4 Mile in 9.9 seconds The numbers are there, and they are very impressive. This is a car I have grown VERY fond of. You grow an appreciation. Porsche is a company that I always sort of ignored. But with the 918 and the new 991 GT3, they are catching my attention, in a big way. PRICE: $800,000-$1.09M. It is the cheapest hyper car on the market. Next week I will be discussing the Pagani Huayra Discuss.

I did not put this in gaming, although I will use games as examples. As well as movies and shows. Think of any story in any genre you enjoy. Some of them are clear cut, good versus bad, light versus dark. But some deal with the gray areas. The middle ground where morals isn't necessarily definite. You find this mostly in survival centered stories. For example, The Walking Dead (both game and show), as well as The Last of Us, and This War of Mine. Both have to do with survival at all costs. And there is no clear enemy, everyone is each others enemy, and you must do what is necessary to survive. In The Last of Us, you have a group of characters who operate in a strange way. For the sake of all of you, I will put why in a spoiler, as it is infact a spoiler. Spoiler Joel, the main protagonist, sacrifices and kills a lot of people so he can bring Ellie to the fireflies.Then, he betrays the fireflies and saves Ellie. But Ellie was the key to the cure to the fungal disease which has destroyed humanity. So, in turn, Joel becomes the antagonist of the over arching storyline, as he chose to save Ellie over the rest of humanity. But put yourself in those shoes, and let's say it's your child. Would you have them sacrificed? Would you have them killed? Without their knowledge. There is no correct answer. And it exists in the morally gray areas. Another example is This War of Mine. It's a survival game that takes the civilian role in the middle of a civil war that ravages the country. Two armies in total war, and your a civilian trapped in the middle doing anything to survive. Everything you do has consequences, and since this is a technically sandbox and randomly generated game, I can talk about this instance. I sent one of my guys into a house to find medicine and food for my starving and sick members back at our "base". There we find an old couple trying to live a normal life. They can't defend themselves, and I have every opportunity to take whatever I want and screw them over. But the game reacts, it makes the old man beg for you to not hurt his wife, and to leave them alone. I took the food, not all, but some, and left. Potentially screwing over them, for my own survival. Fast forward a bit later, and I return to take a few stacks of wood that were outside the front of the house. Only to find out, the couple died of starvation because I took too much food. And both my character in game, and me in the real world, felt responsible. It's a game, yes. But it hits your humanity. You did what is necessary for you to survive, at the cost of another persons survival, and they had no plans or means to harm you. These kinds of stories make you think, and make you react emotionally. It brings out your humanity, and makes you question what is both right and wrong, and necessary. What do you think about theses kinds of narratives? Do you agree or disagree with my points? Discuss.

Some of you may have caught my thread a few days back about how I encountered a young boy at a hospital by my house. If you didn't, the thread text will be in the spoiler below: Spoiler I went the hospital near my house a few hours ago (hence why I've been very active today) to visit my buddy who just had surgery on his ACL/MCL.
I frequent the hospital to get service hours by helping out so I walked my usual route to leave. The outpatient area is my last stop, and as I was walking by I saw a kid alone. Knowing he couldn't be anymore then 11 years old I went up to him. He looked a bit concerned about something so I just said hello and asked him where his parents were. He told me his name was Miles and that his parents were talking to a doctor and that he had been in the hospital for 2 days because he couldn't walk up the stairs in his home, he had the inability to make the step up.
I started making conversation with him and he pointed out my shirt. I was wearing a Lamborghini Polo I got as a gift from the HQ in Bologna when I visited over the summer. And he told me he always dreamt of riding in a Lamborghini. Before I could say anything his parents came back and obviously asked me what I was doing talking to their son, lmao. I explained to them I was on my way out and I usually talk to some of the people in the outpatient area, and I noticed that he looked pretty down. With that I took them aside and asked if he was ok and told them that he explained to me why he was in the hospital. They said they were going to have to conduct test for brain cancer, because during initial tests he had troubles, and they found some form of anomaly in his first MRI (although they suspect it's a mess up as a result of him moving around.) I had been in the exact same situation a few months ago (or maybe it was last month, a lot has happened so Idr exactly.) So I could feel for him. I told them I had an idea of how to cheer him up and to stay here for 15 more minutes. On the way out the mom said to the dad "hey isn't that the company Miles owns a toy of" to which the dad then asked me if that was Lamborghini. I pointed out the name (which was clear enough) and said yup.
I walked out. Went home, and came back. As many of you know, I own a Lamborghini. I came back into the area and saw they were waiting in the back of the room, unable to see a giant window facing outside. I took the dad aside and told him what I had planned. He relayed the info to the mom and this is how it went down.
The parents would take him outside and tell him to cover his eyes. Saying it was a test the doctor asked them to do. They walk him (blindly) until he was a few feet away from the car. I then went to him and told him that I felt bad that he had a bad last two days. And I told him I had a way of making it up to him. I texted my parents to come out (they were in the hospital room with my friend with his family). And then I told Miles to uncover his eyes.
Flood, never in my life have I ever seen such pure joy. His eyes opened wider then ever, and he smiled as much as possible. And he just screamed "no way" and started jumping up and down from excitement. My mom and his mom began to cry and I told the dad he could take his son for a spin in it around the parking lot (it was basically empty.) So they did. When they went around twice they came back, and after helping both of them open the doors, the dad came and gave me a hug, and said god bless you. I went to Miles, gave him a high five and told him that I hope I made his dream come true. And he too hugged me. We took a picture (which I'm skeptical to show as both the kids family and my family are in it).
I have always wanted to make someone's dream come true. And I did. I tried to hold back tears, but a few got away. It was humbling, and amazing to make a kid and his family so happy. I gave the dad my number so he could tell me how the results turned out. We all hugged one more time, and said goodbye.
I'm very happy today flood. I feel blessed beyond belief. It was awesome. Absolutely awesome.
Unfortunately, I have been informed by the father that he does in fact have an early stage of brain cancer... This...this sucks. Honestly. I may have only known the kid for a few hours, but it's something you cant necessarily just walk away from. I'm sad he has cancer, but I have to be thankful they caught it early. It is treatable, and we has to undergo surgery to removed a tumor. I'm sorry for those of you that have had to deal with cancer. Either you personally, or a member of your family, or friend. I'm genuinely sorry if you have lost anyone because of it. I know your pain. I would never wish it upon anyone. And it's incredibly heartbreaking to see this disease effect so many people, regardless of age. He's just a little boy...and now he's faced with this. I can only pray it all goes well. (Please, please do not bash me for saying that. It's not the time or place.)

This is a legitimate question, at what age did you realize you weren't heterosexual?
I've always wondered, and like, how did you find out. Or did it just feel normal?
This is something that doesn't make sense to me, but I'm interested in hearing and learning

 Today I test drove the 2nd of the 3 potential cars I might choose to buy in the future. Midnight Blue 2015 Bentley Continental GT. This was a different experience for me, as I have never driven a Bentley, nor any specifically luxury car. I was actually pretty impressed, and the engine noise is so diverse and brutal. It sounds like a muscle car, sort of. It's unique, and it's a noise I've always been fond of. Disclaimer: I don't not own this car. Again, I do not own this car.But let us not forget England's pride and joy How was your day?

This isn't the first time I have moved. But I have been at my current house since I was 2 years old, so I feel like I never did because I was far to young to care. From Miami, to Las Vegas, to Miami, to Ft. Lauderdale.
Now I'm moving, not permanently, for the remainder of my time before college (and if I decide to attend a University here I'll stay in this apartment). It feels weird, I don't even know what to take lol. My goal is to buy/take ownership of my parents home (as they are moving within the next few years). It isn't the most amazing house ever, nor in the greatest neighborhood, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. So it feels very strange leaving somewhere you've spent 16 years at. It's not that I'm happy about moving by myself, I'm stoked. The apartment is awesome, the complex is sweet. But it doesn't compare. It will never feel like home
What's some advice you guys can give me, and some of your personal experiences?
