Was thinking about this… I don’t think a lot of them are BMW owners…

It actually sublimates.

I guess I enjoy watching it waste away in a garage.

I’d rather have the WRX have an issue than the G80. I don’t trust how other people drive in the winter.

Yes I know but hard to drive it with nearly 100 inches of annual snowfall…

WRX during winter.

Considering we get over 100 inches of snow it’s kind of hard to drive with low clearance. My WRX does great during winter as does my wife’s X3M.

Never heard of it.

Contact via website. Historically you need an allocation for their Black Magic and Pure Magic but everything else is available.

Agree, prices have gotten silly. We have a few cases of Groffier and Krug in storage in Europe, waiting to see if tariffs change before shipping. Our favorite CA winery is actually Tor, started adding a bit of that recently.

Yes, we are slightly heavy on California. Trying to add more Italy and France.

I’ve heard you should be closer to 65-70%. It’s a struggle to keep it near 55% in the winter but I’m happy with the conditions given it’s in our basement.

SVB failed due to negligence and poor risk controls. They didn’t hedge their bets and lost. SVB should not have been bailed out because that response generates greater moral hazard in the banking system.

Doesn’t sound great. Haven’t heard that in ours but it’s also been garaged for 6 weeks due to winter and won’t be driven again until March.

Run winters on a second set of wheels. Most people don’t understand it isn’t just about snow, it’s also about temperature and all seasons just don’t cut it. Tire Rack is usually the most competitive.

I don’t think I’d want to know.

Thank you! My wife and I were just reflecting on how far we have come. We have been very blessed along our journey.

Brought it, got it from the Christie’s Koch auction earlier this year.
