    I did a thing!

    Thanks, we’re both very happy with this purchase. Unfortunately it is sitting in my garage and I’m sitting in the hospital.

    2025 EV & self-driving news

    That wasn’t political. I couldn’t care less about Elon’s politics but him exaggerating his company product’s capabilities (lying) is a pretty well known fact. :p

    2025 EV & self-driving news

    Elon Musk has been saying self-driving software will be ready within 6-12 months for almost a decade now and Tesla’s board of directors keeps awarding the Chief Lying Officer multi billion dollar bonuses. When does the lying and stock price manipulation end and we stop believing this con man?

    I have cancer...

    Thanks brother. I appreciate you. I’m glad you didn’t need to go through what I’m going through. I did MRI, multiple CT scans, two PETCT scans and a bone marrow biopsy (that was fun). The ones where I had to remain still for 20-30 minutes were excruciating because my lower back was in such pain...

    I did a thing!

    I’m up to 977 miles now. Almost past the break-in mileage. I drove it up to my friend’s house in Newport Coast. Drove all the way up with the top down because it was early in the morning and overcast. It was sunny in the afternoon coming back so I had the top up most of the way as I need to...

    The "I just bought..." thread.

    I bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic. Well, by bought I mean paid tax and activation fee, my cellular provider had a promotion which basically gave me the watch for free. I feel guilty not wearing my other, far more expensive, watch though.

    I did a thing!

    My wife and I bought a BMW Z4 M40i. This is a 2023 model with basically every option and it only had 730 miles on it. We bought it from a BMW dealer for $59k and it is CPO so we get an extra year of warranty with unlimited mileage so three more years of factory BMW warranty. My wife missed the...

    Car shows on television

    Check out Mat Armstrong’s YouTube channel. It puts Wheeler Dealers to shame. He buys wrecked supercars and rebuilds them.

    I have cancer...

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes. It means a lot to me. It's funny, my insurance company (through work) has assigned a healthcare advisor to me and she was asking me questions about my mental state, if I've had any suicidal thoughts etc. Um, no... I want to live! Anyway, I'm trying to...

    YAGT: OMG I love guns

    ARs are no more a liability than any other gun and I don't consider guns a liability at all anyway. I have a few of them and they are great guns. Accurate, fun to shoot and endlessly customizable.
