    As an owner of two P-cars that I procured at 7-10 years old each with very low mileage, I say proceed with caution. These cars do NOT fare well if not driven regularly. Can’t tell you the number of problems I’ve had with both. I go and buy one with 30k miles and it was a champ. Crazy town I know. But it’s true. 

    Speaking of cars, you need to give us a Trackhawk update in the other car thread.  How are you liking it?

  2. Twice Horn was saying the Gen X ers had the 18k/SS Datejusts. I don't see many in the wild. I see plenty of gold or platinum Day Dates on people of all ages.
    Yep. I only see the gold Datejusts on the wrists of olds. Always fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet.
  3. I actually don't see many of those. I know they sell a shed load, but I don't know who actually wears them. To be honest I can't remember the last one I saw in the wild.
    That's because you don't hang out with retirees.

    I don't disagree.  It's basically the thoughtless prestige watch of a half-generation or so behind the President.

    I wanted nothing to do with Rolex, primarily because of the smaller sizes they made, as well as the Jubilee bracelet.  But when I saw this, I was smitten.  I wear it almost every day.

  5. Nah, 18k/SS Datejust Jubilee.  I know some rich thought- and taste-less mofos that have no interest in watches and that is their huckleberry.  The only Day Date I can think of is platinum and I think he gave it some thought.  The all gold Day Date is a boomer watch.
    Jubilee is for old folks. Screams grandpa to me.
  6. in her case this is nam.  she is actually Vietnamese!  I picked up the rig yesterday.  The sheer power of this thing is absurd.  At one point as I was casually driving along just cruising, I glance down at the speedometer to see 141.  I had no idea.  It was so quiet and firmly connected to the road it just seemed like I was cruising at 75-80. There were no cars around so I wasn't passing anyone.  Just cruising, and lost focus on speed.  that happened several times.  I finally set the cruise on 85 and left it alone. 
    Do yourself a favor and set the speed alarm.

    I know, I've said it before, and maybe folks don't agree....but it makes me sad when folks kill a big, OLD fish like that.  I catch and keep plenty of fish for eating, but I also do a whole lot of catch and release, and I think alligator gar are some of the coolest fish that we have in the state. They're prehistoric beasts.  And killing an old one like that just seems pointless.

    I mean, I'm sure it was a cool and exhilarating experience, but I just wish they could weigh and measure the fish, and slip her back into the lake.

    Yep.  I release all the big fish I catch.  If I'm going to eat some, I keep the mid size fish.  But I was thinking the same  thing as I looked at those 2 monsters hanging there.

    Monte needs to learn how to apologize correctly. 

    That's the part that threw me for a loop.  He seemed to think that explaining why he said that is the same thing as an apology.  I thought Keith had a great comment for that - do you tell your kids which one is your favorite in front of the others?

     

    But yes, both Monte and Keith are assholes who have to show off their assholishness regularly.  The way Monte treated the captain Keith sent along was ridiculous.

  9. Alright folks, want your input here. Thinking about the next piece to add to the collection (or two depending on price) and want some input from the group because I’m struggling to decide.

    Currently have the following:

    Here’s what’s on my mind lately. Thoughts? Anything I’m missing and should consider?

    PP all day, every day.
  10. Tried to go there this am but the line was huge, going to try next weekend when I head back.  Ended up going to Elway’s last night, it was decent.  When I go back next weekend alone I’m going to go to Rioja and Work and Class
    If work and class is too full, cart driver is right next door. Great pizza and oysters.

  11. Found some OF 1920 on the shelf today.  Never had any of their bourbons.  They also had the OF BiB on the shelf.  Hope I made the right decision.
