Think of it this way, you could have an awesome new PC build maxed out or high-end wheels and tires? lol it's a hard choice.

I mean, I already want to swap out my RAM and CPU. But... it's kind of impossible to find a Ryzen 5000 series CPU anywhere so I supposed that helps. Then again, car-wise outside Flex Fuel, I'm done on my build.

About a month ago my GM's personal work truck, a 98' Chevy with a 5.7, blew an oil cooler line and quit. They towed it to our shop, we fixed the line and topped it up with oil. Went to crank it and it was seized(I wasn't there for that part). The other day the warehouse guys went to push it out of the way and one of the guys decided to crank it over. Bastard fired right up. Idles with no weird noises with 30 PSI of pressure. We blasted it around the industrial park, took it down the road. Runs fine, no weird noises, no rod knock. I haven't done a compression test on it but so far it seems okay. He says it feels like it has the same power as normal

N/A performance-wise, I'm pretty much done, hence starting a SC fund. Because you know, MO POWAH BABY. The PC, well, PC MASTER RACE. So the most achievable, sooner goal, was the PC.

Perfect description of "Did you try turning it ON and OFF?" haha.

From a value proposition seems the PC is a no-brainer win between that and new wheels/tires, but I'm not a wheel/tires guy so YMMV.

The enthusiast pages on social media are garbage. I don't think I have managed more then a couple weeks just being a member on any group I join. I have never seen misinformation spread so fast and so much posturing.

I try to veer away from them when it comes to answering to questions, some times is hard to resist and I just end up pissed off.

In other news, I've spent the last days hitting the refresh button on multiple websites for PC parts. Between the hours of 7:30 to 9:30 PST when stock is supposed to get updated. The hunt for a 3060ti continues. Stay tuned.
