Got this project together finally...

19x9" +53 Range Rover wheels with 25mm spacers, hub rings, and special flat Range Rover lug nuts. (I've only had spherical and conical before.) And 255/50/19 Studded Master Craft MSR tires.

^ this is like me with speakers. tried finding a spare pair of speakers to loan my sister while they remodel their new house, realized that i have well over a dozen sets, 2/3's of which are waiting for parts of one type or another.

Also, I'm assuming everyone is joking to a certain extent.

what are you making? I must have missed that.

That's not awful for the price at $0.19 to $0.15 to the mile. It's not as good as my FRS (where over the life of the car I've averaged $0.09 per mile) but I'm not buying fuel in CA either.

In fact, it's about on par to what I get in my Suburban at $0.14 per mile.

I made some beard oil for myself, but since I'm lazy I went full scale right off the bat instead of testing minute mixes of carrier oils to get the perfect blend. It turned out that my blend was right on the money though. My essential and fragrance oil blend had similar success and the three people that have used it so far absolutely love it. I didn't do it to make a business, just a hobby. But it was expensive, so I'm just recouping my costs by selling as much of what I made as I can through Instagram and PayPal. I don't plan to make a profit.

Well, it's a 4.5 seconds to 60 car that's faster 30-50 and 50 to 70 (driving in an automatic then flooring it until you've downshifted, accelerated, and hit that speed) than a new M5.

But normally we fill at home. And that's much cheaper.

GM, Fiat Chrysler, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, Kia, and Subaru are now on my shit list. I don't see myself buying any of their new products.

They make crate electric motors now. You can throw it in any old frame you want (with a little welding)..
