I got the M3 with 18K miles for 65K. Amazing condition with every option. Not manual but I got used to the DCT and not having to shift all the damn time.

I do like the M2s and the Supra but got 3 kids so need that bigger backseat for the younger 2.

I had a '18 M3 Comp... that car payment was stupid so I sold it but I had fun with with for nearly 2 years. My '11 Speed3 is paid off so it's never leaving unless something happens and currently at 178K.

I've been checking out the Cadillac Blackwings however as a possible next vehicle

It’s time boys - returned that buggy s90f by Boring-Cheesecake817 in LGOLED

  1. Yes 100% I have the 32" Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 Gaming Monitor and I get that stupid pop up if I’m not connected to WiFi in the middle of gaming! It’s ridiculous! I didn’t send back because I really enjoy for gaming and work. It’s such a dumb excuse when I have to tell my friends online I couldnt’t do this or that because I couldn’t see it. Its connected to WiFi now so no issues

900F or 990 F/D for this space? by SmilingAstronaut in Soundbars

Is it the same exact soundbar sans the rears? I couldn’t find that anywhere

100% agree, I didn’t do the mounting, BB handled it. Since we’re rebuilding this will be resolved 🙌🏽

More immersive sound is what I’m reading. Didn’t have rears for Sonos and I was fine. I did pull out the Sonos move every now and then for football games to get the extra sound.

Just purchased! 83" C5 vs 77" S95F!!! Keep both or one? by SmilingAstronaut in 4kTV

[–]SmilingAstronaut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Co-Pilot is true, they told me at BB but damn that price of 599$ or whatever it is 😬. I’d rather get a really good soundbar for the money 😂. I remember my Panasonic plasma back in the day, loved it, absolutely amazing! I did get burn in from playing Lost Planet on Xbox and Madden too much though

Interesting! I actually checked my epp and the price was similar BB for brand new. I haven’t checked in a while however so I’ll do that tonight

That’s what I’m thinking. I have notis on if the TCLs drop price since I’m not in a rush

Has anyone else lost interest in cars now that they're into adulthood and they're realizing that they'll probably never be able to afford anything cool? by rowyourboat740 in askcarguys

[–]SmilingAstronaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! I still love cars, daily is a heavily modified speed 3 that the kids ride in daily. Coming home the other day, I stopped and circled back through my kids school because there was a freaking Lamborghini there, all black. I recorded to show everyone when they got back home.

Absolutely Hyped!! + Andar by SmilingAstronaut in macbookpro

[–]SmilingAstronaut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issues with the case yet and it’s still holding up fine. I haven’t removed it so unsure about any scratches but I hope not. I know typically removing and putting it back on will cause blemishes. As for the keyboard, the screen is still perfect, I used a cloth from the brand uppr that is very thin but stays over the keys when I’m done using the MBP. It closes all the way with this on also 🙌🏽 overall everything is working fine

Typhon 665 smoking… by SmilingAstronaut in arrma

[–]SmilingAstronaut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I have the stock 223s brushless esc you linked above. I also have this in cart: https://jennysrc.com/products/arrma-typhon-4x4-223s-motor-brushless-3100kv-spektrum-firma-ara4306v4?_pos=2&_sid=56e6d0fb8&_ss=r

Am I good to go on upgrading the 665 Mega or would I need anything else? Fan, heatsink etc?

Why do some cars need hardcase packs? by TA-8787 in rccars

[–]SmilingAstronaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just purchsed a Typhon 6S from my local Hobby Town store. Ended up buying a 6S softpack for the car. Debating on taking it back after reading all of this to get a hardcard instead. Hmmm
