I have my eye on this Heritage beauty.

Check out some of the FIRE/ChubbyFIRE reddit forums. They have a lot of resources there for flat fee advisors.

You can definitely do nitro candy apple green. https://bloomdoomguitar.com/color-gallery/

Pikes Peak Ascent.

Could be worse. There was a big bump for Daytonas around 2020 when the waitlist started to get out of hand. If you'd gone to Singapore in 2019, you could have had some models from an AD for around $9k-$10k. At US ADs they were somewhere around mid- to low-$10k, maybe $13k-$14k. Less than a year later you couldn't find one for under $50k and the "wait" at an AD was 3-4 years. Imagine passing on a $9k Daytona in favor of a firesale $3k Sea Dweller the AD couldn't sell because the watch case was taller than the average Singaporean. I feel attacked.

One off design for a wealthy client. Based off the 296 GTB. It is a "reimagined F40" named SC 40. This is the styling buck for the actual car, but the actual car exists.

This perhaps. CNBCTrump says U.S. must 'respond' after Iran shoots down hel...The latest outbreak of violence in the Strait of Hormuz came as President Donald Trump repeated that a deal with Iran could be reached within days.

I planted a variety of pepper plants this year. Anaheims are starting to come in nicely. Jalapeños are coming in too. I have one habanero that will be ready soon. Who knows if the ghost peppers plants will produce anything. That could be best for everyone....

They used to do fun stuff like “bet” a few pounds of Texas brisket vs NY deli pastrami. Now, we get crap like this.

Fair. To make up for my idiocy, I offer photo penance from my visit to the Ferrari museum yesterday. The dedicated EV manufacturing building that they are currently constructing is huge.

I went back and forth on this for a while with our son. I really wanted to go cheap beater for a while. Ultimately, I ended up deciding pre-collision breaking and blind spot monitoring alerts were a priority. Then found the least expensive option in that group. I agree that the Mazda 3 hatch suggested above is a great option. It’s what we eventually settled on.

Skip the imaginary waitlist and the necklaces. DavidSW has 2. One used and one unworn. DavidSWRolex 134300 Oyster Perpetual 41 with Pistachio Dial - Da...Rolex 134300 Oyster Perpetual 41 with Pistachio DialIt is a great color!

I’d add the Yamaha mid tier lineup too. Another brand totally ignored here. But they are outstanding value. The Japan made instruments are miles ahead of US made Fender and Gibson.

Apologies for the editing snafu above. I promise that I was not having a stroke when posting. Has anyone here had any experience with Grand Seiko? Specifically any thoughts on their high-beat vs the Spring drive movement? I'm starting to consider picking one up.

I don't suspect that this will tarnish the brand. Actual AP owners don't care. I still don't think it makes any sense for AP to collaborate with Swatch group for anything at any point. I'm not the CEO of AP, so my option does not matter. I'm sure they are getting paid well to do this. Thi It is rumored to be some sort of pocket watch (necklace watch). Possibly one that you can move the watch face from pocket form and snap onto a band. The necklace mode would seem to be kinda hard to actually read. However, maybe they will get Flavor Flav as an ambassador. Speculation images. Also, the movement is maybe mechanical SISTEM51 not quartz.

MoonSwatch was fun. My wife owns one and it's great for what it is. Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Swatch was dumb. An AP collaboration is terrible. BP and Omega didn't have a choice since Swatch owns the brands, but AP is still independent.

That Tele comes in Dakota Red too. Dang.

I was there and am actually in that video (not any of the idiots involved).

Patrick Boyle has a great video on prediction markets. It's long, but there is a good moment where he addresses prediction markets being used as a more "authentic" poll than standard phone/internet surveys. Since people are putting their money on their opinion rather than being able to lie on a phone call, people are arguing it is more accurate. Not surprisingly, PAC's are starting to use prediction markets to increase the legitimacy of certain candidates. As a wager, it's obviously a money loser. However, as an advertisement/candidate boost, it is an inexpensive way for candidates to attempt to increase their legitimacy and boost their appeal. It doesn't take much money to tilt prediction market odds vs the cost of a TV/internet ad.

This was last summer. The kind people ahead of me on the trail alerted me, or I probably would have had a negative encounter. He did not want to be friends.

New VW product gremlins. Production already pushed back a year. Looks like a fun vehicle, it's only $100 and refundable right?

Yep. The only consolation is that it is slightly bigger and way more expensive. I consoled myself by finally ordering an optic for my CC9.

That jersey is terrible. I can't believe we would actually go that bland for a city connect jersey. Unless, of course, we also show up in these pants.

Quite the humble bragging up in here. What with your fancy cars needing "premium" fuel.

I would assume the Fed chair would normally just step down to clear the path for the new Fed chairman even if he does technically have time left on the committee. However, I'm hoping Powell decides to stay on board to prevent Trump from appointing another lap dog to the Board of Governors. And to get a little revenge for this...
