Even though I'm in no position to buy another car, I keep looking.

Chevy/Holden SS looks mighty appealing to fill that V8 hole.

However, its too sleeper status. Maybe thats a good complement to the orange pumpkin that always says "look at me".

I'm always window shopping. Cars, houses, airplanes... I can't afford any of those right now. I did finally pull the trigger on a new computer though.

I'm always looking too, even though I have no intention to buy. Unless I stumble across some insane deal and have to have it...

Don't get me started on houses!

While on the road trip, I asked locals how are COL and house values in their area. Let's just say I've added Reno, Flagstaff, and Bozeman to my list of places to move to with Reno being top of the list.

This was exactly how I ended up with the FRS. Window shopping can be hazardous.

However, on a few games now, I've maxed the settings at 1440 and have been pleasantly surprised. Still get around 30fps, reminds me of consoles, but with way better graphics.

Exactly, I bought a faster computer, so I can shop for parts faster, so I can build the next computer even faster than that..

Just bought a Rimowa suitcase. Maybe now I'll stop going through a suitcase every year. Wonder if I'll be able to expense it...
