Being a fan of very fast cars myself , I could never go super speed at night. The reason you mentioned.

 Was driving my son to buffalo airport form Rochester a month or so ago and we were running late

I was doing 78 on the thruway trying to make up time. And a a coyote ran halfway into the lane and then ran back.

 Had high beams on , but that got my heart going. A buck deer is enough to kill you if it comes through the windshield.

  We live near enough to Watkins Glen and it not too hard to get track time in a club. and super easy for a millionaire lol
Kids need better life skills.
 Hope he learns to respect the road.

Sorry for the tangent, but I was on cruise control doing about 78 today (it jumps) on a major and very busy 4 lane highway (each direction) in Atlanta today. The far right lane ends with every exit, then continues again as an on ramp and lane until the next exit. I’m getting off soon, so I’m in the lane next to that. Three cars get on at the same time and the middle one quickly swerves into MY lane. I had to slam on the brakes, steal a foot or two from the occupied lane to my left and then worry the red car behind me was going to rear end us. The tires screeching I thought covered to sound of the collision, but I wasn’t sure which car we made contact with. 

 

Turns out, it was neither, but all the stuff I had in the back came shooting forward. It was like a miracle! Thank your lucky stars, today was a much better day than it might have been. The car was quiet for a bit, then my wife asked “are you okay?” I was better then than I am now. This could have been one effed up day but for a few inches.

 

It took hours to sink in. She just came home and I asked if it was that bad, and she said hell yes, hard to believe we all just drove away. 

 

Thanks, that was cheaper than therapy!  😋

If anyone is upset that we picked up Kincaid instead of this dude, then you need to get your head checked. It should be Vikings who are upset they passed up on a generational tight end prospect for a #2 wide receiver 

Bills passed on Meyers too..  lol I kid but I saw both play and Meyers would IMO make a more immediate impact than Kincaid.

Respect the road. Empty or not.

two tons of inertia can create chaos one might not expect in a hurry.

 

Glad you made it through that gauntlet my friend !

 

As a youth ,  we take risks not knowing the potential outcomes. As we age , we better understand those risks and potential outcomes and then , make decisions.
 But driving ALWAYS presents the unexpected. As you experienced and I as well.

I think Kincaid can make immediate impact though

Just by his skill threat will have defenses adjusting , as soon as he makes a few plays to earn that respect of DCs

Who is "Meyers"?  If you are thinking of Jakobi Meyers, I don't think he was draft-eligible this year.

This was kind of dumb but I get it.  I felt good about us boy getting him when I saw how tiny he looked on draft night, then he spoke.  What was it he said, "let's get this money". I get it, you are gonna get paid,  but that feels like showing up day 1 of the job saying where the cash at people before you even did anything.

I used to have a "Citation II" (fuel injected) purchased at a government auction for $2000.  40K miles on it. Transmission disintegrated after 1500 more.

My father bought one as well. White with a red interior. We rode across the country in it. Nothing really worked properly in that car and it absolutely ate tires.

In case anyone didn't click the Star Tribune link above, there is a video of Addison pulling over. Looks like he pulled over on the left side of the freeway, and soon after there were four cop cars or motorcycles (?), judging from the flashing lights. It looks like one set of flashing lights is on the other side of the median, coming from the wrong direction? There is also a civilian vehicle ahead of Addison that he pulled u near when slowing down, so there was some other traffic.

Which is also super dangerous. Extreme acceleration and extreme braking are both difficult for normies in normal vehicles to react to safely. 

 

I get the appeal. In my teens I drove muscle cars, supercars, and foreign touring/rally cars. It's so easy to get yourself or someone else into trouble faster than they or someone else can react to safely. I had enough sense (and good fortune) not to make a big mistake. My worst driving moments were actually with VERY utilitarian rides, oddly enough. Less focus, maybe? I'm rambling.

First they are both capable of either being amazing or busts.  Also what did I say that was “slobbering” about him I just stated facts! He was amazing with sub par QBs, Kincaid had a QB that will actually be drafted before the 7th round. 
 

I also disagree I think either Kincaid or Mayer been a great fit in Buffalo.  I mean the potential for Kincaid is Kelce, and Mayer is Gronk..  Your GM just took who he thought was better.

Will Rising get drafted before the 7th? He’s a good college qb but that’s really all I see with him. He has nothing close to nfl caliber. Plus, he will be 25 at next years draft. He’s a qb so they get overdrafted but I think he will have a hard time sticking in the league. 
 

I really really liked both TEs. I think Mayer will be Witten 2.0 for Dallas. But I single handedly saw DK won games in college. I think his upside with Allen is tremendous.  He has a chance to be one of the top pass catching “TEs” in football though he will struggle if he has to be more of a traditional one at this point.

I think the toolsets of the two are distinct enough that you can make a case for one over the other, and obviously you know which way I lean. And Mayer as a potential Gronk is plain silly.

I may be wrong, but I thought he was a potential 4th or 5th rounder if he came out this year.. 

 

I saw Mayer (my parents are huge ND Fans, I am more a BC fan and hate the fact Flowers is a Raven lol) they played top teams and he always looked good both blocking and catching the ball in coverage. 
 

I only saw Kincaid a few times so I don’t know him as well, IMO he wasn’t a complete TE as you stated but damn can that man get open and catch the ball. 
 

I like both of them l wont be shocked if both are hugely successful since they both have good/great QBs getting them the ball.

When you have to stop 3 tons of mass ? You need massive Rotors and calipers = what is called swept area.

But its all relative. A Honda Civic with a big turbo pulling nearly 500hp from 1.8 L that weighs 2400 only needs 9" rotors a two piston caliper up front and might well stop quicker.

 

 

Those are actually two piece rotors I see with aluminum hats for better heat dissipation.

Thats some big $$

And Lambos are all about the bling.

Most of the owners i have come across? Cant actually drive them,
