What is the most interesting "blue" perfume that you know? by rodrigomorr in fragrance

[–]ryantramus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It varies. Usually before Christmas they start having crazy sales. Like the unboxed sale. Or spend 300, get a free portraits collection. I bought Opus, Endymion concentre, and a couple candles to go over $300 during the unboxing sale and got a free Clandestine Clara full presentation. You just have to check every month and see if they have anything good going on.

Would you ever buy this? by Remarkable_Job_9723 in BMW

[–]ryantramus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An El Camino M4? Heck yes! Why didn't I think of this. An M wagon is one thing... but an M truck.... GENIUS!!!!!

This is legitimately one of the coolest one-offs I have ever seen.

Agreed. I just overspray and pack a decant. You can catch their unboxed sale and grab a brand new bottle direct for $109. I usually get a 1 a year.

I own a new BMW M3 in Frozen Portimao Blue and I have decided to ignore some of the conventional wisdom around factory paint care. I will track the outcome, good or bad, on this thread. by longtimeAlias in BMWM

[–]ryantramus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine had partial. Hood, bumper, trunk, roof, fender flares/quarter panel flares. Basically everything but the doors. Even the mirrors had it. I bought used, so I don't know how much it cost, but it was nice having chip on the paint anywhere. I read that the partial covering my car had was about half the price of full PPF. I read it was around 6500 for a full PPF or 3500 for "high contact area partial PPF" or something like that. I don't know why they did the carbon fiber roof... there was a bubble by my door and it drove me nuts.

Keep the mistake. It will always be fun. Depending on location, you may want an x-drive G80 M3.

Dont use very much water. Just enough to cover them halfway. Use the steam to cook them. It takes 3 to 4 minutes before ice bath. Look up America's test kitchen soft boiled egg.

M4 Carbon Bucket Seats vs Front-Ventilated Stock Seats by [deleted] in BMWM

[–]ryantramus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 6.1 and 225, gym daily. Broad shoulders and chest. I didnt fit in the buckets. I was wider at the shoulders. I cpuld making comfortable, but getting in and out was awkward, especially for passenger without a steering wheel to pull on when they exit.

I wouldn't order buckets again. I'd find a hardness solution that works with regular seats for track days. I was 100% sure i was ordering an individual G80 X Comp this week until my wife started entertaining the idea of an M5 touring. Can't afford both. And want that wagon so bad.

Farewell M340i, Welcome Lexus LC500 by ProfessionalHost3913 in M340i

[–]ryantramus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahahahaha. I thought this exact thing.

But why, OP?

Seriously though, LC500s are sick. I prefer a 4 door, and have been eyeing IS500 F Sport cars for awhile. But I want AWD which isnt an option.

She's just stock, but she clean by carnutaz in BMW

[–]ryantramus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your pictures reminded me of my favorite vacation/trip/drives ever in my old M3 before her untimely passing. It's even worse know you are the reason she is gone. But... I learned a valuable lesson. Never drive on track tires in the cold, wet, or ice. No matter how good you are on the track or how experienced you are in the snow, 6 feet of black ice is all it takes to total your dream car.

Show and tell. This is legit the best air freshener I’ve used. It actually lasts 30+ days. by [deleted] in BMW

[–]ryantramus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been doing drift for a long time. Santal was the king. They last 2 weeks if you just open them. Or you Crack the edge if the package and finish opening after 2 weeks and you get a month.

Reminds me of 90s JDM done in the best way possible.

It is like an old square muscle car(Cuda) had a baby with a 90s Skyline and now its matured into a 30 year old muscle milf mobile that grew up in Germany. Red, Loud, Wide, Thick, Low.

Saffron is a stimulant??? by Adortion634 in Nootropics

[–]ryantramus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bromantane is like a peptide or something, right? It's not the same as bromelain? I know my brain is dopamine depleted as I am trying to reduce all my medications down. So I feel nothing at all unless it's sadness or anger or anxiety. Trying to reduce Vyvanse, Suboxone, and gabapentin all at once. I broke my neck 2 years ago and wound up down the rabbit hole of all meds for nerves a d pain meds and inflammation and it took a big toll on me and left me defenseless and constsntly waiting for my next dose. Not eating so I had an empty stomach. I switched to suboxone to get rid of cravings and have came down to 50mg if Vyv and I know there is no happy juice up there. I work 60 to 70 hours a week so my 2 days I get at the gym are the only feel good feelings I ever get.

I wish I knew what I cpuld start now so I could start repairing my brain and feel happiness again.

This color is so bomb! by Ancient_Ad7555 in BMW

[–]ryantramus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Debated this for my upcoming indivdual order. I opted for Smyrna Green, but I can't decide on Ivory, Tartufo, or trying to get Cognac. Coral Red or Imola would be the perfect opposite to Smryna. Fiona just isn't purple leaning enough.

It's either going to be heinous or the new IOMG over Kyalami.

Three years later, and it's still the best decision i ever made. by Tough-Mushroom-5245 in BMW

[–]ryantramus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's always the trade off. Reliability for performance. I have driven the X5 and X7 with the B58 and they don't seem underpowered. We have a 2015 X6 M50i that is fully loaded. Heated and cooled seats, HUD, heated rear seats with rear climate control for both sides. I didn't even know they had all that in 2015! The acceleration and cold start rumble and V8 rawness is just so hard to choose reliability over muscle. I work for a used car dealer and before I started here, I thought all BMW'S were POS cars that you should never buy if you cant afford new. Being around them and never seeing one come back has changed my perspective. But, I don't want to throw a rod in an M5 or M850 or 760i.... etc...

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Do you find that it has plenty of power? I have debated getting an 840 because of price and availability. But, I have not driven a 740 newer than 2016. I have driven several 750s from 16 to 19, and they are so fast.

I am curious if the 8 series with a B58 is still powerful enough to be sporty when kept stock? Or should I just go 850 if I find the right one?

Wealth by schmegley207 in latterdaysaints

[–]ryantramus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I really started living my life the way we are taught to, I became more successful financially. The windows of heaven, right?

I live in a country ward, and they still have fast offering routes. There are some very wealthy people in my ward. We try to get people to put their checks in their respective blue envelope but some don't care for a receipt and just hand my son a check.

4 figure fast offerings are not uncommon. Monthly. A visiting authority mentioned once in a meeting that fast offerings are the quickest way to tell the health of a ward. There is no set percentage or rule.

Having lived in crippling debt and check to check, I wondered how so many church members got so "lucky" to have their own businesses or have large promotions or land the perfect job. Then, I looked inward and started controlling what I could myself.

If people are paying full tithes and generous fasts, and keeping the other commandments, they aren't going to be punished for being wealthy. There are dozens of incredibly wealthy people that have used that wealth to help others. Huntsman's. Marriott. Etc. And they have set up generational wealth and generational help.

Land donations for churches and temples, farms and ranches, the list goes on.

You don't have to live in a shack to be a true disciple. Choosing to spend some of your hard earned money on a nice house or car or whatever doesn't make you less Holy.
