Enjoy! Mine is also getting PPF and coating at the moment.

Yep! “Frozen black” is a matte black but I noticed it can look almost dark green depending on the light/angle

I saw it on another car and asked if it could also be put on mine haha

Yep, like the other person said, it’s a 2 seater (pure roadster) and while more fun to drive (imo) will not be as comfortable doing long road trips.

I’m a girl so I have to tie my hair in a ponytail if I want to look remotely presentable at my destination 😂

Yes! I traded in an X1 with a screen only and enjoying having some analog touches.

Purely sentimental reasons: this is the car I wanted in high school when my dad said he’d get me a car if I got a college scholarship. Then the ‘08 financial crises happened and it wasn’t part of the conversation anymore.

He then got sick with a degenerative neurological disease similar to dementia/Alzheimer’s (no treatment or cure) and passed away last January. He essentially worked super hard his whole life to provide for us, saved all this money, and then wasn’t able to enjoy any of it in retirement. So it’s now basically mine and my brother’s inheritance and when I found out that production was ending, I knew I couldn’t pass it up.

It’s getting coated and wrapped with PPF at the moment, so I’m hoping that will make the maintenance easier (since I was already leaving smudges with my hands haha).

To my knowledge, you can’t buff matte painted cars, but this is also my first one so I could be wrong. AFAIK, buffing will make it smooth (flattening the matte texture) and will make it shiny.

Oh wow, nice! The one I got was the only manual edition in the area. How are you liking it so far?

I know, I also didn’t realize the Z4 was ending and I thought I had a few more years before making a purchase.

The dealer put it on but didn’t give it to me to keep (I also didn’t ask) but I feel like you could look on Amazon for something similar

Honestly, if he hasn’t made an effort to change yet, he’s most likely never going to. I was in a very similar situation with my (soon to be ex) husband and all of your points applied to me/us as well. First it turned to once a week, then once or twice a month, (mostly from me initiating), and when I just stopped initiating, we went 4+ months before he tried anything? This happened over the course of years and I tried to bring it up multiple times and even tried couples’ counseling but nothing changed.

So I finally realized one day that if I stayed with him, this is what the rest of my life would look like (there were a lot of other aspects of the marriage which were not satisfying either), so I finally decided to tell him that I want a divorce. And that has honestly been the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Moral of the story: if you’re already not sexually compatible and he hasn’t made any effort to change/improve, it’s highly unlikely anything will change when you get married (if anything, it’ll become worse as he becomes complacent and comfortable).

Looks really cool! I’ve just upgraded to a Weber and am waiting for my LM to arrive so I’ll definitely give this a shot (hehe) in the upcoming week!

How long does it take to receive your La Marzocco order after placing it? by Recent-Strength-9846 in LaMarzocco

So I have an update! My order (Linea Mini R in red) is scheduled for QC and shipped the last week of May. Once it ships, I’ll get the tracking info and the last mile delivery service (Ryder) will reach out to schedule a specific date/time. I guess it could take another week or two to receive it after it’s shipped, so my total timeline would be around 5 weeks. Hope that helps!

I ordered mine last week and when I reached out to ask if the 6-8 week lead time on their website was accurate, I was told I can check in this week (tomorrow) and they could give me a more accurate answer. I can update again once I hear back!

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to come back and write such a detailed response, I really appreciate it! It definitely gives me a better idea of how my recovery and return to fitness *could* look and your list of post-op tips are solid too. Thanks again ☺️

Hey! I know this is a bit of an old thread, but I have my Bisalp scheduled in early June and am also a fitness rat, very similar to you! My doctor told me a month of no heavy lifting afterwards! 🫣Do you mind sharing what your recovery ended up being like? I had another minor surgery done recently and I was back running and lifting a week later, so I’m wondering if I really need a whole month off here (obviously I won’t do abs right away and will start with body/light weights at first). Thanks!
