I do have to say, these cars come loaded with gadgets and the warranty is pretty impressive.

Shave Count (DE: 342 SE: 5 SR: 383)

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
F Reynolds SR
Semogue 610 boar
CBL Sir Fougere Tonsorial soap (29)

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Witch Hazel
GTB AS

The Process-
Quick entry today. I kept the same hardware and loaded the brush a bit heavier, which seemed to help. I am BBS once again and the menthol hit from the GTB splash was pretty nice ... I’m digging it. Life is good!

Yea, manufacturers like Kia and Hyundai have really stepped up their game in perceived value and there’s a market for that when not everyone wants a 50k truck/suv or luxury auto.

 

[MilkCrate]

Trucks are trucks. They are meant to be used as a tool and may get scratched, dinged, etc. 50k for a truck is insane. And don’t get me started on those tall, confused station wagons they call SUVs

I was working at a Nissan dealer. When they came out with 300ZX.
The first Nissan priced above $30K.
At the time it was a big deal. I remember thinking “Who the hell is is going to pay that much for a Japanese car? “

I would still take a 240z any day.

How about American for $102,000. Brother works at the dealership in PA and he was checking it out.....

That's the average for between 12-18. I'd say most owners with their driving habits get far less.......

 

[Maryland998]

I simply don't see that car remaining legal to own. Once Bernie gets into 1600 Penn Ave.

I’m out of the “S” thing. I accidentally bought a Fat Boy.

I occasionally throw a bid on things on the bay. Most of the time I am outbid quickly and other times I am outbid in the last few minutes/seconds. So I threw a bid on a FB a few days ago, just goofing, and got a notice that I won. Well crap. But worth it, I have been wanting one.

I won’t go crazy on purchases. I still have Stirling and CBL purchases planned for the year, but that’s it. And my razor count is still the same. Since I won the FB, I sold a razor to cover the cost. So no out of pocket for the FB.

Just caught up Tim. Congrats on the new car and FB!
