Haha yeah. I forgot we had one! Gonna wait for the spring before bashing this one. So it'll be while. Already have a few bashers but always wanted a solid axle baja truck. We'll see how it does!
It is really fun, drives different than a regular short course truck or buggy, due to the sold axle, but it is a very fun experience.
 
Same, been using a CC on a daily basis for years for the benefits (buyers insurance etc) and not once paid a cent of interest.
I pretty much do the same. It’s used to pay for the dogs monthly food subscription and is then paid off with any other small purchases every month.

I had my annual statement through the other day and it was 2 pages of £0.00 apart from one transaction witch I got charged for because the payment was in another currency of some sort and they saw fit to charge for it. That was £0.16
 
Oldie but a goodie, now in 4K

Can’t wait

Haven't bought a pair of cans in a while, but this time they're IEMs:

Tin Audio T2. I would have spent $30 more on the Moondrop Aria ($49.99 vs. $79.99) but realizing I'm only going to use these when I'm in bed and when I go back to Philly, I can deal with the difference in any discernable audio quality, soundstage, etc.

They'll get the honeymoon period where I use nothing but these, but after things settle down they'll be my leisure set.
 
Where, when, and how? I love this movie. :eek:
I ordered my copy from Zavvi in the UK.


Not sure if it’s also getting worldwide release from 88 Films.

Your best bet is to keep an eye on places like Diabolik DVD. They import 88 Films from the UK & the UHD should be region free.

Zavvi has a US site so I went ahead and pre-ordered. Thanks. :cheers:
 
That escalated quickly.
Gotta snag a bargain when it’s there. As much as I’d love to get something unique for half the price, wifey is only sold on motors we can verify. But when you need a new luffa, you gotta get a new luffa.
Sure hope it has fold down backseat with 70 inch 4K TV and PS5/complete driving rig loaded.
Dude spent 100k ($3k) on the ice install alone; shocks, remap, wheels, body kit, exhaust mods, certainly it’s been ‘enjoyed’ but the price is too good to ignore. Plus I’ve always wanted a Pulsar. It’s an 1.8 auto which is a bit disappointing but as a commuter it should fit the bill.

Still chuffed about my new luffa though. It’s been a few years since I last bought one.

Edit: @opelgt1969, GT will have wait I suppose. It’s one thing to get a full rig for personal use. Completely family sanctioned if it’s for the sake of… the… erm… family. (Not a Dom Terreto line…)

Nothing exciting to "show off".....

2 Antique brass pull chain lamp sockets (to fix an old banker's desk lamp)
Box of 84-count coffee k-cup pods
Box of 360-count single-serving coffee creamer
6 Pair socks
4 Pair underwear
Gas for the truck
Some groceries

Hopefully my income tax refund will be here in a week or 2 and I'll have something better to show for it.
 
Not a purchase but I just got this bad boy for free 😅

Rotatable and height adjustable! I'm well happy with it!

(The biggest research group in the University have just moved out of our building and into a new one, but they left behind about 50 monitors. They sent an email at 15.39 to say they were all free to whoever wanted them, and I was the second person to arrive at 15.40 :lol: I just grabbed the best looking screen I could see, but had a minute or so to check that there wasn't an even nicer one, but it was pretty much the best one there. By 15.50, the whole lot was gone except for some really old crappy screens....)

edit: lol, a woman just emailed (at 16.05!!) to say that her group "will take a lot of this"...

So this movie was on YouTube, but it was 240p, and the color was really washed out. So I decided to rent it, but when I went to Amazon, the rental was $3.99, but I saw the disc was only $8.63 so I bought it.

The sheets were half price, so I thought I would give them a try. They are ok and worth the $80 I paid, but I would never pay full price. I have a set I bought off Amazon for $90, and they are softer the the my pillow sheets.
 
I picked up a Logitech G Pro Wireless because they are at the lowest price they have ever been. I had wanted to try one a few years ago, but I picked up a G703 and then a G305 instead. Ultimately, I ended up with a Razer Viper Ultimate. I am considering returning the GPW because of the GPW Superlight, but have a hard time justifying spending that much more on it instead.

I've had mine for ... A while. I can't remember, but I'll guess about a year.

I love it. I wish the plastic didn't feel as cheap as it does, but it has held up very well despite that.

Pro tip, I can go a looooong time without having to charge it if I keep all the lights turned off. Which I do, because I didn't buy it for the lights, lol.

So far now that I think I have figured out what my occasional stutter issue was, I am liking the mouse a lot. Before the Razer Viper Ultimate, I was using a G703 and a G305. In addition to having the lights off, I set those mice's polling rates to 125 reports per second when not gaming. That can make a difference with the battery life also. And the thing that is nice about the Logitech mice compared to the Razer is the Logitech Gaming Software will switch those rates automatically.
 
No pics, but I got a 2 point front chassis brace and better shifter bushings for my Ford Fiesta ST. Trying to do small things to both keep busy tinkering this winter so I don't go insane and to prep for a short weekend trip to drive the Tail of the Dragon. Itching for a road trip/ drive.
