    when I wanted one they wouldn’t ship to GWN, discovered recently that they now ship here with $0 shipping. Too late, I now have a Biolite firepit and happy with it.

    I have one.  It's nice for burning stuff and setting an ambience.  It doesn't give off a lot of radiant heat.  So if you are looking for something just to sit around to have a fire, it's great.

    I want one of those so badly, I can taste it!  But, I live in an apartment and probably wouldn't use it much.  I have read and studied and will have one as soon as I am someplace I could use it more than once in a while.

    I do not know which Michelin tire my Uncle had but he ran his original set of Michelin tires on his Honda Pilot for just over 100k.  They were bald-ish at the end, but the timing allowed him to finish this run in the summer months in Michigan.

    For the F350 DRW I used to have, I loved the Michelin Defenders!  Awesome!  I did not have the privilege to test longevity - wouldn't have been great towing an 18k trailer for thousands of miles.  Can't rotate them either.  Well you can but its costly.

    Yes.  Had I known what the truck market around here was going to do,  I'd sell it now!

    I considered this earlier this spring. After reading lots of reviews I ended up buying a Breeo instead.  The Breeo is a lot sturdier.  I don't move mine around, so if you want something to move in and out a location and shouldn't be rained on, Solo might be better.

    While I was at the Subaru dealer last week, they tried to give me close to 10k for my  2005 Silverado. I’m keeping the truck but it was tempting.

    1. A bad try at a Ronald (the)Ragun joke (use your hooked on phonics to sound it out or get one of the kids to help)

    I am still wondering if that is for your wife.

    Just went down the Crowd Cow Japanese A-5 rib eye steak rabbit hole one more time. I've never done crack but this could be a serious wallet drain.  I just finished a buy from last April (Small portions is the way to go) tonight so, time for a reload.
    Have a few cocktails, make it to old age and realize the present is where it's at!

    The challenge-they show up as 1/2" steaks.  I have gotten past that.  
    I just do not see how that could be bad...looking forward to the presentation that you always provide. Enjoy!

    That wasn't my bad joke. Guess I'm old enough to remember Woodstock way back in 1969. That was a reference to the dedication by Jeff Shurleff accompanied by Joan Baez, of the song "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man" to Ronald Regan.  Shurleff referred to Mr. Reagan as "Ronald Ray-Gun ... Zap!

    Looks beautiful. Like half beef and half butter. 😋

    Perhaps you haven’t heard, but 1/2” steaks are apparently where it’s at.

    @GrateEggspectations - If I use upside rounding math (aka trust me this is 6" or 15+cm's) this steak may make it to the 3/4" mark and no longer qualify.   =)

    I bought this a while ago as a project car that ended up needing quite a lot more work than expected. It was cheap, and it's a genuine 2003 John Cooper Works supercharged Cooper S, so getting quite collectable now. Work done: crank pulley / belt, T-MAP sensor, both door locking modules, tailgate (from a breaker), fuel filler cap (also from a breaker), some trim parts, coolant header tank, powder coating for the wheels (with new non-runflat tyres) and refinishing the headlamp covers. It stands me about £3.5 now (ignoring time spent, of course).


    Very cool. My only question is: why wasn’t this posted in the Exotics thread?

    I thought about it! Minis are everywhere here, these old Gen 1 BMW Minis seem to last really well, so not really exotic enough, even if the original JCW is quite rare and going up in price now.
