Hey Lucky7 … it’s a touchy subject with people. I got COVID pneumonia delta variant real bad unfortunately in coma for 31 days brought me back 3 times, 61 days in ICU & 14 days in general so it’s been a long haul with ridiculous post Covid syndromes. My good friend and I got it same time & place he died 7 days into coma so it’s been traumatic for sure.
I understand this is way off topic of thread so sorry for that. Currently at home with only 49% of lungs so long road ahead.
Man prayers your way buddy. By the way have a Merry Christmas and I hope the new year brings you good health.

MY 2021:

Skidoo rider:
"Skidoo has the only factory turbo, its the most powerful on snow"
Bystander: "But doesn't the N/A and the turbo both make 165hp?"
Skidoo rider: "The turbo makes the same power at elevation, so like 20% more power in the hills, altitude compensating they call, first of it's kind."
Bystander: "You mean like aftermarket turbo kits have been doing for 10 years now?"
Skidoo rider: "No it's different, this has no turbo lag."
Bystander: "How do you know what turbo lag feels like when your turbo only makes 2.5lbs of boost?"
Skidoo rider: "Your just jealous, it's still the most powerful on the hill."
Bystander: "What about the Yamaha Sidewinder, doesn't it make over 200hp?"
Skidoo rider: "Doesn't count, that's a four-stroke, and besides, Arctic Cat builds the chassis."
Bystander: "Oh cool, so skidoo is the best in some category skidoo invented for marketing purposes?"
Skidoo rider: "No, it's totally legit, skidoo is the best"

MY 2022:

Bystander:
"So did you hear the new Polaris Boost is 180hp, that's 15hp more than the Skidoo Turbo"
Skidoo rider: "It's all numbers created by the marketing department, Skidoo still has more power"
Bystander: "Bikeman ran both sleds on their dyno, the Boost has a clear hp advantage"
Skidoo rider: "Bikemans dyno is notoriously wrong, it always reads high"
Bystander: "Same dyno, different numbers, Polaris clearly makes more power."
Skidoo rider: "Who cares about power, track speed is all that matters."
Bystander: "What?"
Skidoo rider: "Besides they have the same track speed so they must make the same power, and since the Skidoo runs a 16" track it must actually make 7% more power."
Bystander: "Burandt shows the Boost with 10mph more track speed"
Skidoo rider: "But that was in a wheelie, doesn't count."
Bystander: "I wonder when skidoo will put a turbo in their helmets? It's pretty clear that your brain has suffered from lack of oxygen."

I read those like they would be if you put them into the video generator that made this classic beauty:
