I just received these today. My blue and white caps are looking pretty tattered so for 10 bucks on Amazon I thought, "Why not?". I'm not sure if you can read it but the description itself is almost worth the 10 bucks on it's own.
In case you can't make it out in the photo this is what is written on the card in the package, complete with original punctuation:

TIRE VALVES
DECORATE YOUR WHEEL

this is the fancy valve decorated cap with four electrons. which is made by metal material. which can instead of the original bad valve cap of the tyre, also show the beauty characteristic of the tyre.

Sweet. I love big luxo-cruisers. One of my favorite past cars was my 2001 740iL. Rode like a cloud and was fast AF.

Decided to buy a portable jump starter since it was a good deal on Amazon. Amazing how well these work, especially when a traditional jump start (car battery jumpered to car battery) doesn't work. Also able to use it to charge various devices with the miscellaneous ports built into it. Definitely nice for emergencies. This particular model goes up to 2,000 Peak Amps.

Bought my wife a heated steering wheel...little shocked Acura doesn't sell these straight out as an option on their upper vehicles (need to buy and dealer install)

Needless, was a deal - typically around $600+, got it for $390 from an out of state Acura dealer. Took about an hour and a half to install myself.

While not the same brand, mine has come in handy numerous times since I bought it. I think I've only had to use it on my car once though.

Picked these up to upgrade my 3.1 setup at home. Going to take my 3.1 Polk setup up to NC and add 2 more to make it a 5.1.

Yeah since I just bought mine I haven't had to use it yet but wished I had it earlier. When comparing the different ones out there I liked this one because it has a 65w super charge function so it only takes about an hour or so to fully charge this unit which is pretty incredible. It's 74Wh/20,000mAh which is a decent amount of power storage. I haven't seen another one with an LCD display showing the % of charge in the battery either.

Manufacturer states that it can hold a charge for 18 months without use. The final bonus was that it came with a 24 month warranty and another extra 12 months for signing up for their e-mails. I can live with that for a 3 year warranty.

I really don't see how you can beat this at just over a hundred bucks.

Processor limits transcoding on the Nvidia Shield. If you're looking for an all-in-one solution that supports hardware transcoding (i.e., 4k-capable) take a look at a Synopsis NAS. I've got a DS1520+ stuffed with a bunch of big drives and it holds everything while being a very effective server. It also runs Docker, so I've got a bunch of containers running all the rest of the components (Radarr, Sonnar, Transmission, etc.) most people need.

My audew was around $100 too, also 20,000mah. Depending on the vehicle and how dead their battery is it'll only take 1% off. Sometimes maybe 6% if its dead dead. Honestly charging my phone with it is what drains it. This ones got an led display 👍🏼

They're amazing things to have thats for sure haha

Love Klipsch, too big for my current house so I sold all of mine. My center channel was huge; downgraded to a smaller Polk that does the job.

These towers are actually slightly shorter than the polks they are replacing. Center is about the same, but yeah it’s big. Definitely sounds great to me but honestly so did the polks. Biggest difference to me is going with 5.1 instead of 3.1. As for the atmos speakers… not sure if they add anything or not. Down the road in NC I MIGHT add actual ceiling speakers as it would be easy to do since it’s in the basement.

Love my Klipsch (although I haven't been able to dial them in right at my current house)! Nice choice.

Ordered a couple of kettlebells, a safety squat bar (SSB), and some dedicated lock collars for the SSB.

Don't have a picture of any of them but here's the sheet that came w/ the bar to keep in the spirit of this thread. I technically bought this paper, too...lol.

Got lucky today and purchased one at Best Buy for no other reason than I got it at MSRP rather than the inflated prices we generally see online.

2021 16 inch. Should I flip it for 5k? Joking, this thing is amazing. It's great to have the SD slot back.
