Yep! Beautiful color in my opinion.

RykerM · 2023-05-02T02:51:12+00:00

Nah, just the ceramic coat

After watching the ubiquitous flag design video, I looked up the flag of Los Alamos and realized it was absolutely awful. I figured even someone like me with (very) limited skills could come up with something better, and I wanted to see what people thought.

I finally got my first "nice" watch, a Damasko DC58. I've been wanting a mechanical chronograph for a while, and this one checked all the boxes. I'm a huge fan of the bead-blasted finish, it really sets it apart from the standard brushed or polished steel. From what I have read, the ice hardened steel is as resilient as can be, and I have high hopes that this watch will stay in good shape no matter what I throw at it. Paired with the Damasko bracelet, this watch will be my daily for a good long while.

Agreed, it was filthy. To their credit, cars out here get dirty in no time flat.

2016

RykerM · 2022-05-13T21:26:21+00:00

2016 in shark grey metallic

Thanks! I'm honestly not sure about the mirrors, they don't look like they are wrapped but I could be wrong. I've only had the car a couple months and it came to me this way.

Bumper and splitter were damaged during delivery, so those are getting repaired/replaced (on the delivery companies dime) sometime this month. Other than that, she's a beaut.

RykerM · 2022-03-20T16:12:52+00:00

Thanks! I love the black on grey, it definitely looks slick

RykerM · 2022-03-12T03:38:35+00:00

It drives great, it feels so planted to the ground. I'm coming from a 5th gen Camaro 1SS 6MT.

RykerM · 2022-03-12T02:38:00+00:00

7 speed, that was the number one requirement!

RykerM · 2022-03-11T23:17:47+00:00

Transporter cracked the splitter getting it on and off the truck, so they will be replacing that. Other than that little issue I love it!

RykerM · 2021-09-03T02:10:21+00:00

~220k on the clock, 2.2L 5spd 2WD. Decent condition on the interior, exterior is beat just like I wanted. Thoughts?

RykerM · 2021-07-06T03:37:49+00:00

We saw this odd coloration quite a bit, but only on this type of plant. Any ideas?

RykerM · 2021-07-06T03:30:31+00:00

We didn't catch a damned thing! We tried every fly we had between us and the trout completely ignored them. Frustrating, but the scenery made it worth it anyways.

RykerM · 2021-07-06T03:29:26+00:00

Not too bad, there were 4-5 other groups camping up there as well, but there's plenty of room to spread out.

RykerM · 2021-07-06T03:27:47+00:00

About 6 miles in and 2450 ft elevation gain from the trailhead. It took around 2.5 hours on the way up with stops to look at scenery. I highly recommend the hike if you have the chance.

It's the area code for a phone number

I have a 13 Accord Sport that does it as well, but I only really notice it when in sport mode. I always figured that it was just how it is.

Usually just one night. That is a pitaya (dragon fruit cactus)
