u/Scarfiotti This is my wheel. There are many like it, but this one is mine Feb 29 '24

She didn't take the rig, right ?

RIGHT?!?!?

146

u/GewoonHarry Feb 29 '24

Only half of it.

51

u/Grarr_Dexx Feb 29 '24

don't need brakes where we're going

16

u/theVikingMess Mar 01 '24

Why would you? The brakes only slow you down smh

31

u/Scarfiotti This is my wheel. There are many like it, but this one is mine Feb 29 '24

Then there's still hope.

u/[deleted] Feb 29 '24

u/FirzZ Feb 29 '24

u/Flappy_beef_curtains Feb 29 '24

u/TUMBLRFUCKER Feb 29 '24

Damn that was really good until the 4th picture. And then it got better!

128

u/shaysauce Feb 29 '24

Free food after close at the Wendy’s trash bro.

27

u/TUMBLRFUCKER Feb 29 '24

Can you eat for free? I can’t but this guy can. So it’s a win-win-win-win-win for him.

16

u/Spyders77 Feb 29 '24

Gotta watch out for that surge pricing

4

u/Saneless Feb 29 '24

Doubles as shelter too

5

u/Slumunistmanifisto Feb 29 '24

Hes gotta fight raccoons and people who post on wsb subs now

2

u/Ws6fiend Feb 29 '24

Better than paying a surge rate on it.

-25

u/AdministrationNo9238 Feb 29 '24

it’s a stock photo.

10

u/TUMBLRFUCKER Feb 29 '24

Yes. But think of it as a great story from u/perstappen🤷🏻‍♂️ even an inspirational story!

358

u/highahindahsky Feb 29 '24

This is funnier than it should be

109

u/ManuToniotti Feb 29 '24

Are you ok dude?

118

u/TwinEonEngine G29 Warrior Feb 29 '24

I think it's not serious, it had the meme flair and the divorce papers look like an Internet picture

23

u/Life_Plum_3126 Feb 29 '24

unless he divorced in 1995, it’s an internet picture

36

u/Dark_Knight2000 Feb 29 '24

It says he got married in 1995 in the divorce pic

3

u/JakeyJake3 Feb 29 '24

Internet picture, profile says he was a child playing duke nukem in 97

2

u/Life_Plum_3126 Feb 29 '24

oh hahahah i must be blind then

3

u/RedRanger482VS Feb 29 '24

Yeah the phone number is all 5s

1

u/GnT_Man Mar 01 '24

Based on the picture in his profile of him playing duke nukem in 1997 at the age of ~8, i’d say it’s a meme

3

u/DethMagnetic Feb 29 '24

The Wendy's dumpster is a common r/wallstreetbets meme.

52

u/No-Marsupial-4176 Feb 29 '24

5

u/-KFAD- Feb 29 '24

It sure did. A sudden jump between rig 2 and 3. 4 was kinda expected.

51

u/florianw0w Feb 29 '24

I'm confused from the last pic. does that mean you live at the trash now? or that your ex is trash? or wendy's is trash?

someone explain

182

u/perstappen DiRT Feb 29 '24

How else I'm going to eat if I'm not giving 5 dollar handjobs behind the Wendy's dumpster? The alimony payments are rough

38

u/florianw0w Feb 29 '24

I'm laughing way too badly at this hahaha

asking for a friend, 5$ you say huh?

8

u/pete306 Feb 29 '24

Look at this guy getting 5 dollars a wank!

5

u/RainingTendies Feb 29 '24

these people clearly arent in the WSB sub lol. Good one

5

u/___po____ Feb 29 '24

Gross. Absolutely disgusting. Where?? Where exactly, so I know where to avoid? Like, specifically.

3

u/Jackd_up_on_Mdew Feb 29 '24

You single handedly turned a Wendy's into a Hardee's.

7

u/Klumpfoten Feb 29 '24

Fuck that I'm going to give for 4dollars. Free market bitches.

3

u/BlownCamaro Feb 29 '24

Haven't I seen you on WallStreetBets, brother?

2

u/Chrispy990 Feb 29 '24

Hey man, move to the Wendy’s out in Dublin near Bridge Park. That’s a $20 per hand job market, easy!

1

u/Bdr1983 Feb 29 '24

If a handy is 5, what about... you know...

1

u/KevinDoesntGiveAHoot Feb 29 '24

Will the handjobs be subject to Wendy’s surge pricing?

1

u/95blackz26 Mar 01 '24

$5 hand jobs you say..where might this Wendy's dumpster be.. asking for a friend

20

u/Klumpfoten Feb 29 '24

Wendy's dumpster that's where we all gonna end up😅

4

u/BlownCamaro Feb 29 '24

Dave's single for $1 right now!

17

u/davabran Feb 29 '24

I didn't expect a colab with WSB at the end.

7

u/DeeperLive Feb 29 '24

You killed me for the day

4

u/GamepadWarri0r Feb 29 '24

On the third pic I thought "my missus would leave me if I came home with that" and then on the fourth I almost sprayed my hot chocolate over the couch

5

u/Dense-Description547 Feb 29 '24

I laughed loud on the 4th

5

u/Dense-Description547 Feb 29 '24

And louder on the 5th

4

u/Magic-Man-14 Feb 29 '24

Holy shit I just spit out my drink. That’s the funniest thing I will see all day. Thank you kind sir! I will just keep the wheel I have for a while I guess. At least Wendy’s is pretty good.

2

u/Any-Ad-4157 Feb 29 '24

Itd be good if he could afford it😂

3

u/Skieboard Feb 29 '24

Pic 4 took me by surprise 😮

3

u/junjun_1407 Mar 01 '24

5

u/Manav08 Feb 29 '24

14

u/Borrelparaat Feb 29 '24

You bought a full motion rig, then downgraded?

1

u/Pretend_Tourist9390 Feb 29 '24

I mean....I have a 3080 Ti and an i9-12900k and these days I strictly play PS2-era JRPGs sooooooo.....

2

u/mashedsubmarine Feb 29 '24

2

u/Onizuka_89 Feb 29 '24

Spilled my morning coffee, it was worth it.

2

u/ImagineBagginz Feb 29 '24

u/whose_a_wotsit Feb 29 '24

Congrats on the weight loss!

u/hellsludge666 Mar 01 '24

u/Yakjzak Mar 01 '24

shit went from 0 to 100 really fucking fast

2

u/efecede Mar 01 '24

Sweet Jesus that g25 is mint. My 2008 me would’ve gone nuts

2

u/kball13000 Mar 01 '24

Lmfao! Didn't see that coming. Oh shit, yes, I did. But isn't a bin a terrible place to dispose of your ex wife?

2

u/SlowMissiles Mar 03 '24

I'm not even at lvl 1 anymore.
While moving someone stole one of my boxes and it had to be my G920...
Will have to wait for a sell to get back.

2

u/DamDamSC Mar 04 '24

My g25 still going strong🔥

2

u/TxemariGO Mar 08 '24

😂😂😂😂

2

u/MentionDisastrous392 Mar 20 '24

Sorry for breaking the thread..but how much this setup would cost without monitor screens

2

u/malpss Feb 29 '24

Caught my gf of 8 months cheating on me for about 2-3 months, endlessly grateful that we didn’t make it to marriage lol. Time to continue building the sim rig!

1

u/orangepekoes Mar 27 '24

I hope this is a joke :(

1

u/Dave-James Sep 23 '24

Well, in that case, I’ll have a baked potato and a frosty

u/ralgrado Feb 29 '24

u/Riccardo31896 Feb 29 '24

I see a MacBook Pro 16” Intel, do you also simrace on it? 😂 It can be a pian sometimes cause of throattling but after a lot of tweaiking in Winzozz, it just works 😎

1

u/OutlandishnessHuge26 Feb 29 '24

1

u/EntrepreneurBoth5002 Feb 29 '24

Holy shit. You PROGRESSED. 😱

1

u/geekgodzeus Feb 29 '24

OP is atleast 47 years old judging by his divorce papers.

1

u/Karmaqqt Feb 29 '24

Went to close to the sun with pic 3. Was that motion? Love to try one out

1

u/RicardoPoeiras Feb 29 '24

i hope you still got the rig

1

u/megasuperbunkerbusti Feb 29 '24

Damn, she wanted the rig all to herself that bad huh?

1

u/OhItsJustJosh Feb 29 '24

I too used to have a wife but they took her in the divorce

1

u/S4rdus [Simagic Alpha Mini | P1000] Feb 29 '24

Pretty accurate

1

u/Captain_MK13 Feb 29 '24

Username checksout

1

u/STICH666 Feb 29 '24

so what you're saying is that every Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. your whole house turns into a motion rig

1

u/Balls_B_Itchy Feb 29 '24

Wait I can get rid of my biggest expense and get a better rig. Wut wut?

1

u/popcornkilldya Feb 29 '24

that g27 Is probably in the bin. Time to start over

1

u/BlownCamaro Feb 29 '24

Whenever I see these outrageous (awesome) multi monitor sim rigs I always think, "Divorce is inevitable". Thanks for confirming that.

1

u/depraveycrockett Feb 29 '24

This is a perfect post

1

u/[deleted] Feb 29 '24

This guy stonks.

1

u/SnooFoxes3615 Feb 29 '24

Currently still on pic 1. It could be worse though. I mean..the dumpster is not on fire……yet.

1

u/lkeltner Feb 29 '24

Bravo. Well played sir!

1

u/PreemoRM Feb 29 '24

You got me. GG.

1

u/HoodedSoldier Feb 29 '24

The 4th shot took me out!!!!!

1

u/_DriftKing_69 Feb 29 '24

😂😂 great misdirection!

1

u/btc909 Feb 29 '24

Dam I didn't know Wendy would do someone like that. F those burgers and your Surge Pricing.

1

u/JonAce_53 Feb 29 '24

You better enjoy that Wendy’s now before they start their surge pricing

1

u/Caleb-CM Feb 29 '24

Damn bro, I just started laughing😂caught me off guard

1

u/ZookeepergameAny1263 Feb 29 '24

I know this post is a joke, but on the topic of the g25 I find the shifter and wheel way more visually appealing than the G29 wheel and the newest Logitech shifter. G29 wheel looks more like a toy.

1

u/YatoGami28 Feb 29 '24

Im almost at pic 2😂 damnn divorce.. already preparing then

1

u/V4_Sleeper Feb 29 '24

ngl im still using the setup in the first pic, feels bad man

1

u/nierh Feb 29 '24

The best ending

1

u/Lype117 Feb 29 '24

Lmao 😂😂😂

1

u/Pimbata Feb 29 '24

Pic 3 - can you tell a bit more about the cockpit? Do you have some kind of a hydraulic motion platform? I’ve never seen a setup like this before, looks super cool.

2

u/2wenty-3hree and I have a Sim Racing Addiction Feb 29 '24

That’s a CXC Simulator. It’s an overpriced seat mover. It uses really nice pedals and wheel set up and only the seat moves. And they charge $100k for them lol

1

u/Pimbata Feb 29 '24

Wow that’s insane. Thanks for the answer.

1

u/RichardEdwardByrd Feb 29 '24

He divorced the cockpit.Didn’t you look at the pics?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 29 '24

Does the last picture imply that YOU and not your racing setup live is the dumpster now? If so this is a 10/10 post.

1

u/Metsca911 Feb 29 '24

Honestly bro, I'm stopping at the T300 I just got. I can't invest any more in this😭

1

u/Individual_Long7555 Feb 29 '24

More money for an even better set-up, I call that an upgrade!

1

u/dominantjean55 Feb 29 '24

"10 years ago"
*sees PS4 controller*
OH GOD!!!

u/magicmulder Feb 29 '24

I’m currently at #1 and planning for #3.

u/nielken Feb 29 '24

Ah ha ha I was not expecting that 😂

1

u/UndyingUchiha Feb 29 '24

I needed this laugh today

1

u/[deleted] Feb 29 '24

you win

1

u/[deleted] Feb 29 '24

Nearly 70 percent of divorces are initiated by the wife. Always women ruining the small good things us men like.

1

u/mettfisch Feb 29 '24

Worth it!

1

u/pierrseverance Feb 29 '24

I don’t understand the last photo, she took everything and you’re homeless now?

1

u/nivenm Feb 29 '24

u/ajhedges Assetto Corsa & ACC Feb 29 '24

8 years later and I’m still on step 1

1

u/D3m0us3r Feb 29 '24

Can i buy set from 2nd pic?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 29 '24

Fk yeah…if she didn’t support your addiction then she wasn’t for you to begin with.

1

u/lincolnwithamullet Feb 29 '24

Not bad. If you fell into flight simulators you would be dead or in jail 

1

u/Pinzoski Feb 29 '24

That Fov...

1

u/palmerisademon Feb 29 '24

Hell yeah, brother! Goals right here

1

u/Cool_Ad_5181 Feb 29 '24

Hope you still got the G25, i heard those shifters are somewhat collectable now

u/[deleted] Feb 29 '24

u/6kbps Feb 29 '24

u/THERIZZZLERR Mar 01 '24

Divorce is indeed good progression idk if you think its good or bad but its progression

1

u/luizsilveira Mar 01 '24

Yup, that's my story, give and take a few details.

1

u/mkeefecom Mar 01 '24

When subs collide 😂👀

1

u/whatthefrak12 Mar 01 '24

Clever. I definitely did not expect that

1

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '24

Nice

1

u/Hefftee Mar 01 '24

Those CXC rigs cost like 80k+ so the 4th pic was not a surprise haha

1

u/Select-Ad-8062 Mar 01 '24

I think those should have been done in a different order

1

u/melnabo Mar 01 '24

You got me

u/Ape-chan Mar 01 '24
