    TeePublic Haul and Initial Review

    Turned 40 recently and wanted to relive some of my childhood through t-shirts so went to tee-public and bought 6 shirts. Went with the standard t shirt but in heather so they are a mixture of cotton and polyester. I paid 98 total, shipped to my house, for 6 shirts so the price is decent. The...

    Movie Which Movies Get You In The Halloween Spirit?

    I love this time of year, and a lot of it has to do with the movies on every night. That got me thinking, which movies do I most associate with the Halloween season? My top 3 are as follows: 1. Halloween franchise (except Rob Zombie remakes and Halloween Ends) 2. Trick R Treat 3. Dawn of the Dead

    Why I hate taking my car in for service.

    Took the r8 in for an oil change and left with a damaged wheel. Nobody will care about your car as much as you do, I learned that a long time ago. I also know that shit happens and this dealer is usually very good with my car. Mistakes don’t define somebody’s integrity, how they make it right...

    Gaming Pinball and Arcade Discussion

    I’m starting to get addicted to a new hobby and I just officially jumped in today. Picked this bad boy up and brought it home. Packing it, driving it, and setting it up was extremely stressful. Second pinball has already been ordered. Anybody else into this hobby?

    Gaming Odin - Retro Handheld

    For the first time in my life, I have backed a crowdfunded project, Odin. For years I’ve wanted a portable Xbox handheld and I think this is the answer. The Odin is going to be used as a beastly emulator for most, but for me I’ll be using it to cloud and console stream I ended up backing the...

    Gaming Scuf Instinct - Anyone use?

    Anybody regularly game with a pro controller? Ordered a Scuf Instinct today. Has 4 extra buttons on the rear. I prefer the design over the elite because it’s based on the series controller where the elite is an Xbox one controller. I’m excited to get it before halo and bf1042.

    Gaming Division 2 Next Gen Update

    A pattern is starting to show lately. Ps5 was performing better than XSX out of the gate but is taking some pretty hefty losses as of late. PS5 is running at a lower resolution, no fog, worse reflections, worse load times. I get the feeling that Ps5 will not age gracefully as this generation...

    Gaming XBox Series Consoles now able to double frames of older games

    https://venturebeat.com/2021/02/17/fps-boost-launch/amp/ This is pretty awesome. These are games that historically had a locked fps and xbox has found a way to double the fps without involving the devs. The initial games that support it I don’t care about, but I’m really hoping for fo76, skyrim...

    💦 Detailing How hard is it to burn through paint?

    Pretty hard. Took Jason 66 section passes (5 passes for each section pass) using heavy cut compound with an mf cutting pad. Based on this video, I’d say it’s pretty much impossible to burn through paint with an orbital unless you were purposely trying to. Thoughts?

    Lowering and wrapping DD. Bad idea?

    So I’m trying to hold onto my cars as long as possible to be more financially responsible. That also means I need to do something TK my cars otherwise I’ll get bored and my eyes will start wandering. With that being said, I have an image in my head of how I’d like the M3 to look. Those with...

    X3M dynos 490whp stock, what does that mean for the m3?

    This is pretty incredible and now I’m very excited for the next M3 since it will be using the same engine. I have a feeling the next m3 will be able to hit tens completely stock which is incredible for a luxury sedan. Also something else to think about, if it does hit tens, the m3 has has...

    Can a BMW M3 be daily driven in the Midwest?

    Back in 2012 when I got rid of my M3, I always told myself that I'd get one again once I had a family because it was the best sedan I had ever driven (yes I know it was a coupe). Fast forward to 2018 and I decided the time was right to get into an M car again. My commute was long, the manual...

    Aftermarket Warranties, how do I do this?

    The M3's factory warranty will be expiring this summer, and based on everything I've read, I should pickup an non-BMW aftermarket warranty. I put 15ish thousand miles on the car per year and want to protect myself from costly repairs. Do you guys have any recommendations?

    R8 gets a brother...Turk Style

    So 5 years ago when I got rid of the M3 to get the R8, it was a tough decision. I loved the M3, but it didn't make sense for an unmarried guy without kids. Why did I need backseats I'd never use? I decided that the M3 was a perfect car for a car enthusiast that had a family, and I promised...
