Dont buy anchors, buy movable stuff. A welder on a cart is easy to move and when the cold winter comes it will give you something to do

Bricks of dollar bills make great furniture, and they look good on garage shelves when you hit that opener button.

Welding scrap metal is an excellent pass time

Get a nice welder, it's got some great benefits:
1) You can weld stuff
2) Its movable
3) You won't have money to buy more things to fill the space

Jeez, I'm even starting to come here less and less now... :/ This has to be one of the longest periods in between posts here

I do have some updates for that thread, I'll post them up one of these days.

I went to car week up in Monterey, which was an epic experience. We were watching cars in downtown at the auctions selling for 5m minimum.. including a 18m dollar F1.

I had no idea what to expect going there, but was genuinely blown away at the magnitude of this thing. 75% of the cars driving around are ones that would turn a car enthusiasts head. I've seen one Bugatti in person before car week, and probably 6 up there that weekend. I pretty sure I saw almost every modern supercar/hypercar that weekend lol

A lot of e30 M3s around too, which was cool to see. Not too many non-Ms tho. I was driving around in mine and was getting a lot of attention, even next to some of these wildly expensive lambos/mclarens/ferraris. The largest BMW presence was def the 2002s

Also, what was wild, is I finished my engine a few days before doing the 8 hour drive up PCH to Pebble Beach and the car just ate up that whole drive like it was nothing. Epic comeback into my e30 after almost a year of sitting around with no engine and interior.

Not sure if it was true or not but I saw on Instagram that they got a parking ticket in town shortly after selling.

That was one event I was pumped to attend last year for my one year living in the Bay area but clearly due to everything going on, was unable to attend.

Hopefully this answer reinforces what I previously said -

No, it was a different 20 million dollar F1 that got the ticket LOL

Truly crazy stuff out there

Naw, didn't have time, but I did take the "long" way out to drive by it

This was one probably my fav hyper car to see in person

Idk if you guys watch DDE, but it was cool to see their aperta in person. Also saw the 720 "GTR," which they were fixing in the parking lot of the hotel lol

I was going to offer some help, since the youtubers and their entourage seemed lost, but they didn't seem too approachable

DDE is that like Dungeons and Dragons?

Lol one would fairly assume, but no, they're Youtubers w a lot of money

They buy brand new super cars and will immediately chop it up and do something cool w it.

That Huracan was bought new from the dealer, then drove it to a body shop to have the windshield chopped off. Pretty funny video. The body shop owner always makes him say on video what he wants them to do LOL

That sounds like one helluva experience!

Def something to consider doing. The weather up there is awesome too, so it was a nice escape from the heat.
