I went to buy my mother a car, but she said fuck it, so I got another Rolex. DFD. Always winning.

I went over to pick up my Rolex from the dealer, I had sent it back to Rolex to get the clasp replaced.... While there, I spent $1k more than the Corolla and got a second watch. :lol:

If I told her what happened I'm sure she would change her mind about thinking it was too much for me to get her that car.

I don’t have that size specifically from them, but I’ve been very happy with the Anker products I use.

The guy I got my Meowta from has a ton of project cars. Way too many. He was trying to sell an FD RX7 with no clear coat'd red paint but with an engine and shit in ok shape for $15K. When he couldn't sell it he ended up trading it to a guy for a Rolex. He then sold the Rolex for about $13K.

This one is worth about $3k less on the used market than I paid for it new. NBD, this was purely a relationship building purchase so I can actually buy a couple more that are worth 1.5 and 2x the MSRP.

Gotta be a preferred customer to get those models when they show up.

Won't pass SMOG testing. :dislike:

:hue:

edit: Actually as a 1966 it doesn't need SMOG testing.. just needs DOT equipment.

Just pay someone to set it up and haul it to tracks for you. All you need to do is arrive and drive.

We worked with Caterham before and had a pair of cars. I didn't drive them but I should have. I chose to drive the Aventador instead.

Sonos stuff is on a pretty good sale all over. Costco had the play for for $560 and a pair of the play1 for $220. I got mine about 3 months ago and have mixed feelings. The sub is also on a good sale on amazon.

I sprung for the amp to hook my record player up.

What kind of loot did everyone pull in for :mahtroy: Friday this year?

I saw JBL, Sony, Sennheiser, etc had some crazy deals on noise-canceling headphones. Almost picked up a pair but couldn't mentally justify it over my already great earbuds so I just :flaccid: bought replacement earbud foam thingies.

Not much.

I bought charcoal, a propane/map gas fire starter and a specific fan to make the fire hot faster. Oh... I guess I did buy the Cobb AP for the 911 too... so nevermind the not much comment, that shit wasn't cheap like the BBQ stuff.

Nothing here. Browsing amazon for deals today, but not expecting to spend any money. The company I buy protein from is having a 20% off sale, so maybe stock up on 20lbs of whey if I buy anything at all.
