The BenQs are brighter. They're pretty freaking expensive at regular price, just got lucky at MemX, they had a couple of refurbs left. One wasn't even ever opened.

Got it! 2021 Grizzly Special Edition. There was one out in Rocky Mountain House. Picked it up yesterday. Took it to my moms for a quick burn. Going to be a lot of fun on the trails this year.

Thanks for the reassurance!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was waffling all night wondering if it was a good buy or not, i originally was just after the Q60 but the sales guy showed me the difference between the 60 vs the 80 and it was huge. I even went out to my truck mid sale to do a quick google because it was alot more than the q60.

Ordered another Pi4, since it was a decent deal.

Good for docker. Might be able to migrate some stuff off my NAS.

It’s a good TV. I bought one in January.

Decided to finally put my money where my mouth is and get myself a proper car again. I lasted... 3 days without a car? Haha.

2019 M2 Competition with DCT
Attachment 97839

Pretty austere spec which is what I wanted, wireless CarPlay is a huge plus (gonna need a new iPhone for the battery suck since I don’t have wireless charging spec’d ). And the most important feature of all, no sun roof. Lowest horsepower number I have had in 3 cars, but I have a feeling it will have a fun level above all. Not going to say I won’t miss the AMG V8 sound, but the S55 still sounds good to me in its own vicious caged animal sort of way.

Gonna be a good summer.

Oh, and since I know beyond was wondering: More front passenger leg room with the baby carrier installed than the NX... somehow.

Nice, I took a quick look at that car Saturday. I really hate the OG M2 wheels personally.

Haha I’m in the same boat on the wheels. Gonna try and find some 788M takeoffs (apparently all the specs nerds claim they weigh too much so lots of people turf them ) and use these as winters. One of them has a little curb rash which you probably noticed. I really like the 788’s.

I almost pulled the trigger on a new one in Hockenheim with 788’s out east to ship here, but I couldn’t say no to the price delta on this one all things considered.

Congrats, looks great and love the colour!

Funnily, I also pulled the trigger on something fun again. So crazy how close we came to owning similar vehicles as I was debating between a 2019 M4CS and a 2019 M6 but decided to resist going the BMW route. I will disclose later but I will drop a hit. We seem to have an opposite trajectory when it comes to AMG vs M world ownerships. lol.

Then something sporty will replace the Benz - I've been liking the new Vette's a lot but we will see. Point is nothing for 2 years minimum.

Awesome acquisition!! You’re going to be looking forward to clean and dry roads!

Just a little bit of a difference from the 4x4 Vette.

I certainly hope it is more fun on clean dry roads than the vettex4 haha

I really am liking the size, I would be lying if I said that the size of the truck didn’t bother me.

I think that’s 100% guaranteed!

It’s funny because you just did the opposite of what I just did, only I was dealing with vehicles 10 years older! Got rid of a BMW for a GM SUV with a baby Vette engine.

Fun! Trucks have their place for sure and I enjoyed mine for what it was. This BMW just suits my car “needs” better.

Plus when you need a truck, you can just borrow @ExtraSlow ’s fancy new F150!!
