  1. Yeah, I am not a fan of the color at all. I know some people love it, but I am firmly on the opposite end of the spectrum: Team Fender Pastel. Also, Celery Man's picture smells like stale cigarette smoke.
  2. Looks like Antigua is back baby. CME has a full lineup of Squire options as well. https://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/products/fender-70th-anniversary-vintera-ii-antigua-stratocaster-1957192
  3. Also, are you flexible on color? This one is listed on Reverb as a demo at a brick and mortar store for $1279 and $50 shipping. Usually if you reach out outside of Reverb, they may be able to do a little better on price. https://www.shopmusicland.com/shop/c/p/DEMO-USED-Fender-American-Professional-II-Telecaster-Rosewood-Fingerboard-Mercury-w-Case-x58500256.htm https://reverb.com/item/41483247-demo-used-fender-american-professional-ii-telecaster-rosewood-fingerboard-mercury-w-case
  4. I have that guitar in black and love it. You can't go wrong with an American tele.
  5. Looks better in Ebony. Not good, but better.
  6. Subaru WRX and the vehicles with XT engines are CVT and turbo. Well, most of the WRX’s are manual transmission, but otherwise it’s a CVT.
  7. Lego should card buyers and offer an alternate set of bricks for 21+ that say "Marlboro" for the back.
  8. I have a Subaru Outback with a CVT. Maintenance has really been no different than any automatic transmission I’ve had in the past. Fluid was checked every 30,000 miles and replaced at 100,000. Cost to service the CVT seemed to be on par with automatic transmission expenses. I know Nissan and Audi had some 1st gen CVT reliability problems, but I think most other manufacturers are doing ok with them. I’m hoping to go 200,000 with this car.
  9. Maybe consider collision repair costs as well. Not unusual for a teenager to have a bump or two along the way. I would discuss with your insurance company the cost differential of insuring a teen with a Model 3 vs a late model ICE.
  10. Love the design, but I think I’ll keep the 2019 Taco for a while longer. I guess this kinda sets the prices for the new 4Runner at around $45-$60K depending on trim level.
  11. We would have also accepted Blue Thunder the TV adaptation.
  12. Looks good. You don't have to tell us the price, but were the dealers trying to hit you with a lot of "market adjustment" BS? I know GM is trying to void warranties to combat flipping right now. Looking at the recent BAT sales, it seems to be working. Lots of no sales as of late. https://bringatrailer.com/gmc/hummer-ev/
  13. You also need to say your prayers and eat your vitamins, you little Hulkamaniac!
  14. Tickets are purchased for the D2 Championship next Saturday in McKinney. Go Orediggers!
  15. That's a great truck. I considered something similar with my old 93 Toyota truck and my son. Then I started really looking at the thin A pillars, zero air bags, no crumple zones and how terrible the MT tires were in the rain. We got him a VW with pre-collision breaking and blind spot detection instead. At least it was a manual transmission and he will get to learn about VW reliability first hand.
  16. Not to pile onto the brush bar situation, but any small tap in the front will likely end up damaging the hood and front fenders as the bars get pushed back. Those things can turn a simple bumper fix into expensive body work pretty quickly. Awesome truck though, your kid will love it.
  17. Sorry. I am using this amp and my old line 6 plus AirPod pro's. Not really experiencing any real latency that I notice. Yamaha's headphones are supposed to be almost as fast as a wired set. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/THR30WLG10HPBn--yamaha-thr30-ii-30-watt-modeling-combo-full-wireless-bundle-cream
  18. I’m linking probably the most expensive option, but this setup should have minimal latency and is fully wireless. You can definitely find a better price. The Yamaha amp sounds great FWIW. I picked up the amp alone for $385 and it was compatible with my old Line 6.
  19. They are pretty fun. Sound great and easy to play, but I have a Yamaha BB that I always return to. I got a good deal on it when I bought it, would certainly pass that on to anyone here that was interested.
  20. If you are looking for a short scale, I know a guy.....
  21. Agree that she should shoot and try everything and pick what she likes. Beretta PX4 Storm models have an easy to rack slide (my wife has no trouble and struggled with pretty much everything else) as well as an adjustable back strap for finding a comfortable fit. I would add that if she is getting a revolver, having a hammer and being able to pull that back (either at home or at the range for practice) is nicer than being stuck with one fairly heavy DAO trigger pull. Also, unless she needs something super tiny, a medium frame revolver may have less muzzle rise and perceived recoil for a more enjoyable shooting experience.
