I blame you for making me Google this.

What?!?!?! You never knew bout that kit? I thought it was pretty famous. Aston Martin aero kit isn't that famous though. iirc there's only 1 person in US has it.

There's one front bumper I want, which I don't think no one in US has it atm... but it's not cheap at all.

I want that bumper an abnormal amount, but it comes to like $3500 CAD, before import fees.

Yeah... I like Aimgain front too, but I don't love THAT much to spend over $2k. Gailla is unique and nice, but it comes around $1300 (+shipping) AND the other front bumper I was looking at comes around $900 (+shipping). All the cool front bumpers are costly.

I wonder how much Liberal front bumper cost...

Really, I'm pretty over modding the car anyhow. I kind of feel like I have it at the perfect point for what I want. Only thing I really want to do is get a nicer header, but that's not too high up on the priority list until my current one either corrodes through, or cracks.

Cryptocurrency is a pretty meh prospect for me. Too much risk for my taste.

Forget header, do final gear swap

No use for it really. As much as I'd like a 4.88, it would kill fuel economy.

If you drive mostly on highways, make sense

You know, RT used to be a safe haven where I didn't have to worry about catching conversations about mods I want but can't have right now because weddings are so damn expensive...

I cannot believe the level of petty I have acheived.

As mentioned previously, I purchased an Amazon Fire HD8 for 129.99. They're currently on sale for 109.99. I'm currently in a chat with Amazon support about the tablet, and whether or not I can be refunded the $20.

If they say no, then I'm going to order another tablet, and initiate a return on my current tablet.

They are $79 down here ...... so, you know they are still making money at $109.

BTW, mrs humfrz really likes her Fire HD8. So, far she has kept it hidden from the granddaughters .....

Isn't CAD worth only about 80% of USD? Cause that would mean you folks are getting an additional 20% discount under the US price. So really, they are making money at $64 USD.
