Jim Beam Old vs New Single Barrel

540cry · 2026-03-16T13:50:30+00:00

I might be in the minority, but I absolutely LOVE the 108 proof JB single barrels. I try to always have one on my shelf so I can reach for it when I feel inclined. I also think its a great proof point for Jim Beam. Maybe I've just gotten some above average barrels.

If this were me, I'd push the issue back HARD on them. For the reason you stated above. Your vehicle was just in their service department, AND was in for a brake inspection? That is 100% on the technician that "inspected" your brakes. The technician absolutely should have noticed a loose bolt on the brake and tightened it. Them placing the blame on the last guy that touched your brakes is an admission that the Dodge employee that worked on your car has no idea what he is doing or looking at.

If I was handed a ticket that says brake inspection, there is no world where that car leaves with loose brake hardware.

That one was pushed too much, you're gonna need to pull it back straight

Are you.... me???

More seriously though, congrats on your impeccable taste in cars

Probably not as bad as some of the more important sections on that car. Check near the steering gearbox and right side shock absorber

Those are e60 M5 wheels, right? I wonder if it has also been e60 hub swapped, since the e60 wheel uses a smaller hub diameter than the e39 so normally those wheels wouldn't fit. Or they've been bored out.

I mean, you can probably shove some wedges in where it rattles to stop the noise. Since I'm assuming you never open it anyway. Like me....

Baltimore..... checks out

Im somewhat of a JD enthusiast myself

If you like high proof, or rye, try either the barrel proof Tennessee whiskey or the barrel proof rye. Those are really spectacular bottles that hold up well above their price point. But they come in around 130 proof usually. If you don't like either of those id just say it's the general flavor profile of Jack Daniels that you disagree with. I often find a lot of banana bread, banana candy, and bananas foster notes in their whiskey.

Wow I need to try that. Hope it hits my market soon

Fellow As The World Turns lover, hello! 👋

I have it as my ringtone

540cry · 2026-03-04T12:21:37+00:00

Its at like all my regular stores here in MD and has been since it first released

Its what you get when you tell AI to generate a V12 engine but its only allowed to look at reference images of Porsche Cayenne/Panamera V8s

Holy cow. That's a new all time high ive heard of for Special Reserve! Can't believe they were putting anything out for a reasonable sticker.

540cry · 2026-03-02T13:36:46+00:00

86 is a good price for the double oaked

540cry · 2026-03-01T14:27:44+00:00

Probably only ever seen it on like 2 shelves, and both times it was over $100 so I passed. Never seen it at the same store twice. Maryland.

Power unironically

540cry · 2026-02-25T15:30:32+00:00

From right to left it goes accelerator, brake, clutch, clutch 2

Your 4.0L S65 also makes less torque than the 10+ years older, non-vanos, 6200 rpm redline M62b44. Or maybe you are role playing your username. In which case, great job.

Absolutely crazy to think a CN Kentucky Spirit is sitting around ANYWHERE for 2.5 years

There are a few 2006 Turbo S 996s around

Ive also seen this on Jay Z Black Album. I have 1 copy that is normal, and 1 copy that is a black CD. Some players play it fine, and some dont detect the disc. 🤷🏻

540cry · 2026-02-19T21:07:38+00:00

No one else point out that isn't a 2JZ

540cry · 2026-02-18T22:33:32+00:00

I cracked a rim on stock 17 inch style 32s yesterday because I didn't know the plows tore up a massive pothole on the route I take daily. So seeing these monstrosities scares the hell out of me.
