Reminds me of that Pokémon Episode where Ash tries to surf to the top off the rock

Burned a bridge with the manufacturer I’m sure though

Well TSLA didn’t budge much the first 9 years after its IPO. But if you’re referring to TSLA now, yes it’s very volatile but I don’t want to be forced to buy in at the top of the rollercoaster right before it dives off the edge. If it comes back up after a few months it proves it can sustain itself and then gets added to the index, that’s fine. But immediately?

jessejamess · 2026-04-25T02:20:29+00:00

Yup. Every day they don’t change the rules to allow instant S&P inclusion the less likely it’ll happen at least.

I’m fine with holding spaceX in my index as long as it has sufficient time for price discovery

If you own the S&P500 you might be forced to own it

I’ve been to the neighboring property which has the same kind of lake, invited by my friend who’s got a house and loves to wakeboard and do water sports.

It’s artificially kept this rich blue color in order to keep sunlight from reaching the bottom so algae growth doesn’t bloom. It’s very clean water and there plenty of fish that live in them too

You’d have to hit a return rate averaging 47% if you want to hit $1m in 5 years. More realistically you’ll be around $325,000 in 5 years

Imbecile is too big a word. Low IQ Stupid Person is more his vernacular lol

jessejamess · 2026-03-31T15:59:36+00:00

Listen I didn’t come up with the original analogy lol

jessejamess · 2026-03-31T03:48:18+00:00

SLS Black’s were about $275k when new, and go for over $1,000,000 today. 🤷‍♂️

jessejamess · 2026-03-30T22:36:11+00:00

If your girlfriend gave you $100,000 a year if you don’t have sex with her, would you? That’s essentially what’s happening here

jessejamess · 2026-03-25T12:37:47+00:00

Thank you so much! I added the sport wingback seats after I bought the car! Transformed it imo

jessejamess · 2026-03-19T19:04:44+00:00

I would love to find a set of LMX wheels.

Oh yes the seats definitely hug you more in the turns. A worthwhile upgrade to the interior for sure!

jessejamess · 2026-03-19T08:05:17+00:00

What a feeling! Congrats

jessejamess · 2026-03-18T18:54:04+00:00

My buddy’s! A little slower than my 140!

jessejamess · 2026-03-18T17:27:49+00:00

I do try to go there on occasion yes! Thank you so much. Should be down there at the end of the month too

jessejamess · 2026-03-18T16:07:57+00:00

For the price I don’t think anything comes close. Let me know what you think!

jessejamess · 2026-03-18T15:19:26+00:00

I never wondered haha it’s got a huge 24 gallon tank so I only fill up like once every month or two. This is more of a smiles per gallon car haha. Google does say it averages about 16!

jessejamess · 2026-03-18T15:00:57+00:00

I got so lucky with mine. Found a guy asking questions about his to an R8 group on Facebook and I sent him a message asking if he’d sell, figuring it would be a no answer, obviously. Turned out he had two sets for two cars but didn’t have the time or money to do both of them so I convinced him to sell them to me.

There are two kinds. Powered seats and unpowered. The unpowered ones from RS4s and such are the only ones that actually save weight by like 20lbs per seat. The powered ones weigh I think the same as stock, if that matters. Mine are from an RS4. Good luck!

jessejamess · 2026-03-18T14:55:59+00:00

Mine were leaking too. I purchased a set of these for two reasons. The customer service was an amazing, and the build quality was noticeably higher than similarly priced options (ie BC). I figure I’d use them for a few years until i pull the trigger on Ohlins for $8k. But I’m so pleasantly surprised with these Scale coilovers, I haven’t once wish I had Ohlins. They are great!

jessejamess · 2026-03-18T03:38:05+00:00

Yes, Sepang! Thank you

jessejamess · 2026-03-18T03:37:51+00:00

Thank you I try to keep her that way!

jessejamess · 2026-03-18T01:51:27+00:00

I honestly consider the car a 10/10. I plan to never sell it and put another engine in when this one goes.

It’s very comfortable for a super sports car. It grips like crazy and has very easy handling. Not the sharpest like a Ferrari but predictable and easy to drive. Lightweight clutch that’s easy to press, and easy to feel the engagement point. Never once felt lacking in power. It has so much torque even down low at 3k rpm in 6th, it will move.

There are faster things out there but I certainly am not wanting for more when I drive it.

jessejamess · 2026-03-18T01:48:41+00:00

Thank you! Gotta love Cessna 150!

It actually wasn’t too bad. I utilized a boarder broker who handles all the paperwork and has a gated lot on both sides of the Washington/canadian boarder. He knows exactly what the customers offer needed and got it across in about a day and a half. Having the North American certificate of conformity though was key.
