I figure the engineers know what they're doing. Besides, if there's a failure, since only the dealer has done the oil, they're responsible. I know, good luck proving it...

That is true. But, it could be a pia proving it was the dealer's fault. So many loop holes and what not.

Thanks, looking forward to driving it. Agreed re: the Landcruiser. Not ready to go hybrid and the GX while still very functional, has a nicer interior.

The X3 is showing its age with more than 75k miles. Couldn’t go with the new X3 and was thinking M3 but I’m still the primary people hauler for the family so I wanted the room. Will go back to something sportier eventually.

Decided to jettison my 25 year old gas mower that I use exclusively for trim work (Have a Simplicity Broadmoor for full mowing). HD sent me a $75 coupon, so I pulled the trigger.

I'd be happy to get away with a $150 vet bill. Seems we always end up over $200 and often much higher. Recently had a cat with a urinary tract infection. At the end of his treatment, just the visit to do a culture test to see if he'd been cured cost $250.

Ridiculous. Makes a case for pet insurance, though I've never had it.

Pet insurance is okay if you have one or two young pets. Any more than that and you're paying some serious insurance premiums.

Would work for an old pet too if you like the peace of mind and don't mind the insurance premiums. Not for me and it sounds like not for you as well.

Needed a new patio table, they tend to go out of stock at Costco in the Spring, so we grabbed the sale price.

Yea, it was not bad. With our earlier doberman shit hit the fan and I had to dump 4k to vet in just couple of months. But it is what it is, you never know.

Insurance for dogs costs quite a lot in Finland too. And the covering is very poor.

I’m having a knee op on the 24th so I have the two F1 cars (Ferrari and Red Bull) and the Panigale to build while I’m recovering.

I’ll put up some pics when done.
