Godspeed, Ginger... HS

Rough run, but he did not take the easy path. RIP Mr. Wilson. RIP Sid and Aron. Godspeed RH.... HS

It makes me think 60’s more than 70’s but I’m old and taking in the I just arrived to my hotel libation.... HS

I wasted 3 minutes of my life with that vid...LOL. Tesla...what??? HS

You did better... HS

RIP, DJ.... HS

I’m excited, mwl168. I test drove a white 2011 that was local. A Canadian example and had a fun drive. Not long enough to form a meaningful opinion, but enough to get a taste. I agree the chassis seemed to be very nicely buttoned down based on a few spirited u-turns under our toll road here. Unfortunately the car was not in the best of shape, the price point was high for what it was, and something had gone on with the front end the dealer could not explain...oil everywhere when I poked around. Fingers crossed this specimen will be what I hope. I spoke to the seller today and he told me that he’s had calls from all over the country asking about the car. HS

“Starting at”...ouch. HS

The front end of that article is hilarious. Dizzying naming and pricing. HS

The beans and the way they are roasted make a huge difference in my experience, but I'm a french press driver. Good friend that takes the pour over route and we have similar results...the beans and how they are roasted definitely make a difference. I cannot speak to the espresso route aside from having used several espresso style beans in my press. Back when I was enamored with darker roasts. I'm past that phase for the most part. HS

Holy moly. This gent pees ice cubes. Mr. Andy Wallace, I bow to you sir as you are a ROCK STAR! HS https://jalopnik.com/the-bugatti-chiron-just-cracked-304-mph-on-special-mich-1837811754?rev=1567432738518&utm_source=jalopnik_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow&utm_campaign=socialflow_jalopnik_twitter

Nice, ER! HS

Wow...that was a brutal accident, ironbut. Godspeed, Mr. Hubert... HS

Well... I've been missing having a stick car in the stable. Was planning on purchasing a different car but the order banks for what I want do not open until next year. In the process of punting my Demon (suspension is not to my liking...way to singular in personality...drag suspension and I prefer more of a road race setup), I bought a car yesterday that I have yet to see in person so this should be entertaining. 2012 BMW M3 coupe manual w/ "slick top" and competition package in Interlagos Blue / black leather. It's got some miles on it, but these are getting more difficult to find. V8 motor that spins to 8300 rpm. It's light on torque for what I'm accustomed to, but hopefully I'll leave it alone and not slap a blower on it...LOL. There's actually a nice kit out there. Just something to drive for a while that's more nimble than the Trackhawk. Should look something like this except with the carbon fibre roof and no sunroof...thank goodness. vroom vroom... HS

RIP, Ms. Valerie... Thank you for all the smiles... HS

Godspeed, Jessi... You went out doing what you were passionate about. If we were all only so lucky. https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a28843412/jessi-combs-killed-in-land-speed-record-crash/?source=nl&utm_source=nl_rdt&utm_medium=email&date=082819&utm_campaign=nl17898398&src=nl HS

grawk, I looked up Indian coffee out of curiosity. Is this where you whip coffee, sugar and a bit of liquid into a frothy paste? I've seen some make "Cuban" coffee this way before. HS

Looks yummy, grawk! Love the medium roast...nicely done. I cracked open a new bag of Columbian today as well... Love me my weekends... HS

The 300m is a beaut. I've been ogling the stainless and cedna gold on black rubber strap far too much... It's a bit too large at 42mm, but it sure is a great looking watch. I only tried it on once while on vacation and I have to say I struggled with the pin buckle rubber strap. I need to drive one again to see if it was simply a matter of my rum induced lack of fine motor skills... HS

SW, I honestly couldn't say. I purchased mine as a pre-release and they tossed in both the rubber and stainless for the same price. It was priced in Euros and that's not a bad thing at the moment. I'd bet it's not too bad given the watch was reasonably priced IMO. HS OK...off my arse and found it's 110 euros for the beads of rice, including VAT, and 36 euros for the rubber strap. https://baltic-watches.com/en/accessories

Seawolf makes a good point. If you like to punt / swap out then something that allows you to extract more value than not is a good call. The Baltic is great value for money IMO. I've worn it more than I expected given my other two primary options. Strongly recommend getting both the rubber strap (super nice...I can only speak to the blue) and the beads of rice bracelet. Having said that, if you needed to choose one I'd recommend the rubber strap. It's that nice, even though you have the quick release on the beads of rice stainless. Best of luck, sbelyo. HS

RIP, Peter... HS

Apologies for detracting from the exchange. I'm learning a few things about machines here. I use a French press. My first time trying a Zambian coffee and I must say it is very good. Purchased from Double Shot in Tulsa. Why Tulsa how a relatively generous amount of good roasters I cannot say, but this is one of my favorite roasters these day. I lean towards medium roasts on most coffees although do love an espresso now and again. HS

ER, What are we looking at? Certificate of authenticity, chronometer accuracy test, etc...? HS

Great info, ER! I do own a pair of HF slacks...loved the material and the cut. A bit pricey but I've been pleased with them all around. I'll see if I can register for SaksOff5th...I'm subscribed to their normal site and the prices are a bit stiff. Brooks and NM also. I was a bit more fashion savvy pre-kids. Oh well...LOL. HS
