So I just quoted an article that I edited 20 years ago

I was writing about brakes for the Classic Motorsports site. Specifically, what many people call warped rotors.

But I know the truth. I read it in GRM. I edited that story.

So I quoted something I edited 20 years ago. Felt a little weird....

And here’s the Classic Motorsports piece about brakes: Why warped brake rotors are technically not always warped.

I had something similar happen to me.

I was trying to find some information on a car I was researching, only to find a GRM forum thread I started a few years ago.

I almost hotlinked a hotlink I hotlinked in the Death scooter thread. I found the pic on Google, and thought it looked familiar.

In reply to Colin Wood :

Oh I hate that. 

And then it was all "Thanks past me, for doing present me a solid!"  Copy/Paste, assignment done for the day.   Go for a drive in the Porsche.

In reply to WonkoTheSane :

Excellent.

Welcome to the world of A.D.D.

I routinely obsess about things to make the Datsun faster and then realize it will make little to no difference, wait 18-24 months and do it again. Only to find a thread I started here.

It at least speeds up the cycle of obsessing and coming to my senses.

In reply to David S. Wallens and Colin Wood :

At least you found the older information was still good.  

How humbling it would be, having to troll your past-selves in those threads with "put down the wrench and do a search, n00b!" and so on.
