Good suggestions, I've researched these and you're on the right track.

FUUUUUUU I didn't want to hear that. I feel like it's doable along the Front Range, just that the wind is fierce, and you'd better have a plan for summer pop-up storms. I've got a buddy in Denver with an older Z car who drives open air as often as he can, but of course I only see his driving pics in the summer months.

I'm gonna let this one marinate over the weekend as a multi-part post/response, just to see what ideas y'all come up with that I haven't considered. I don't drive my S6 any longer and hate that I've sorta lost interest in the car, with a boatload of OEM RS and aftermarket parts sitting in the garage to get silly with. Since the original turbos haven't been lifted it yet, I thought this might be the right time to list it on Bring-a-Trailer, as a couple other similarly-modded cars sold well on the site lately. The proceeds will go toward a fun, perhaps smaller car. My 'daily' is a Rivian R1T, so I have the utility part figured out. It's a quad-motor, 835hp unit, and is kind of silly on the street too. I'm looking for ideas on something fun I'll want to keep in the garage for a while. Requirements as follows: New or used. If preowned, prefer a modern powertrain with direct injection that's tune-able Budget of $75-$80k Manual transmission only GT, sports coupe or roadster format Offers some form of open-air driving RWD or AWD Something that feels 'special' to have in the garage, that makes you look forward to free time for a drive At first, only two cars came to mind, both with V8s, but that has since changed completely. Let's see what you'd pick.

The Surly Budget Wine Go To List

Kirkland Old Vine Zin is tasty too. -
Love the Ranger Raptor... that was the second truck on my list and a strong contender until I bought my Rivian R1T. Now the Rivian does everything I could ask it to.

Autopilot on HW3? That scenario is even worse and will let you run a redlight unless you're familiar with its limitations.

About that FSD... C'mon Elon, nobody forced you to choose LIDAR against camera sensors. Just tell us your cars are cheap.

Not sure how this intel surfaced, but it was quickly walked back https://www.kyivpost.com/post/48299 Kyiv Dismisses Reports of China Seeking ‘Combat Experience’ in Ukraine https://united24media.com/latest-news/reports-suggest-china-may-seek-combat-experience-in-occupied-ukraine-following-north-koreas-lead-6440

The Cloud Engineering Thread of Dominance
Gravy Train replied to StassneyHorn's topic in Business and Markets
Microsoft is selling Databricks as an Azure service, so if you have a MARC commit for your tenant, this might be a better path to allocate the spend. If you're not quite there yet, but also running a Microsoft shop, you'll have to get used to their Fabric SKUs now for Azure SQL and PowerBI. Their legacy pricing models can no longer be written into new EAs. -

That battlefield looks entirely different because it's one for the poors and calculated risk. Both sides have too much to lose by engaging air assets; one side goes extinct if its kill ratio drops below 4:1, while the other is sending gokarts and goats into battle. If this theater opened to all of our shit on a conventional stage, it would be over with in mere hours. I don't understand any motive to Putin's kotowing. Russia doesn't have shit and one commander-in-chief just sidelined our entire military industrial complex. This won't last through his term. He won't last through it, either.

I started with EasyOptOuts for a year, then switched to Optery, using their premium service, almost at the one-year mark with them too. I didn't feel great about it either, but gave them my PII to scrape and also a copy of my Driver's License, assigning them power of attorney for opt-out requests. Their automations are nice and pulled me out of some of the B2B data brokers as well.

Taking care of Trump's job for him, CIA leadership is now discussing the potential risk of disgruntled ex-employees who might take info to a foreign intel service.

Buy a preowned EV unless you're leasing. Far more value on a steep depreciation curve. I wouldn't dare pay for FSD on a newer Tesla, let alone trust it for much of my driving. Porsche Taycan and Audi eTron GT are comparable offerings from the Germans with better driving dynamics, materials, fit/finish; they both introduced a refresh for 2025 with improved range. The Porsche Macan is now EV as well, and it looks more car-like in this iteration. Lucid Air is a fantastic value on the second hand market.
