Nice Model 3. Did you replace your Model 3 briefly with another car, or just sold it a while back?

I got an offer I couldn't refuse on my previous model 3 back in like Jan I believe. Plus it was about to go out of warranty so I ended up selling it. I missed it so decided to order another in March. Lucked out as they raised the price $5k and stopped including chargers right after I ordered. I figured I would milk these crazy times as much as I can. I don't ever recall a time where I could buy a car, drive it for a year or so then sell it for equal or more than what I bought it for (unless we are talking special collectable cars).

Too many cars right now though, I got a pretty nice offer on the mustang so that one might be getting the boot soon.

The market is indeed crazy, we did very well when we traded the wife's GLC for a GLE, especially considering the discount we originally got on the GLC and the low interest rates. I think you'll miss that Mustang though, its a nice counterbalance to have the rumbling V8 in comparison to the Tesla's silence.

Had me a V8 Mustang GT; supercharged with a Magnaflow exhaust. That baby purred.

Had to part ways. It was a manual and I had an accident that ruined my ability to use a clutch.

Badly fractured my left ankle hiking in Mt Baldy. No more clutch for me.

I probably will and I will probably end up buying another manual V8 down the road. It's more of a logistical pita when there is more than 3 cars. I would love to keep it up in NC but only a 1 car detached garage up there. Eventually I would like to build a big garage/shop but who knows when that will happen. Right now I'm just thinking for how long will I be able to get this much for it. I feel the car market is going to take a downturn with everything else and I'm sure big V8s even more with gas the way it is. Dunno.

I'm not much of a modder, but I love the way it sounds stock. I had a C7 and a camaro before and the main thing I disliked about those cars was the sound... or lack thereof.

This car sounded pretty good stock, but the Magnaflow exhaust sounded awesome. BTW, not a big modder either but glad I added it. Usually added an aftermarket exhaust to my past cars and never regretted it.

Govee Smart fan. I needed a quiet fan and preferably one I could control with my home automation setup. This works perfectly for that. I already have 3 Govee air purifiers, so I know they make decent stuff. The app controls them all, plus they work with my home automation app (HomeKit). I went to grab this screen shot and found Amazon has a $20 off coupon now, so I just ordered another one.

Dye day, the leather color had arrived and I had started with the trouser.
I admit that the immidiate effect had surprised me and even few green spots are twinkeling through the new blue the first attempt was a success. Continuing tomorrow with one side of the jacket and the boots.

Looking good Dang3r . I have to admit that I hadn't considered dying your leathers from green to blue. What a fantastic way to blend the new with the old.

My shower head for a few years broke, so had to buy a new one. Had to go through a few to make sure that water pressure is on point.
