Upgraded my snow shovel. I mostly use a snow pusher and bust out the snow blower for anything I can't power thru w/ a pusher. I still have a 30" but am adding this 48" beast since I have a big driveway. It barely fits in the X1.

I'll try putting down some urea nitrogen as part of my lawn winterization so I picked up 150lbs of a 33-0-4. I'll put it down once the lawn is dormant and temps are well below 50F.

Also got a can of fluid film to try on the snow blower and maybe lawn tractor deck.

The 10W-40 is for changing oil on my string trimmer.... haven't done it....ever....in 3 seasons. Probably should.

Just bought this guy. 2016 Audi A8L with the 4.0T. 0-60 in 3.9sec but with the APR tune it gets down to 3.5 seconds, not bad for a 4,800lb car. Been wanting this car for years, will only be used for weekends and such.

Congrats, definitely post pics when it comes in, I've always liked the way the D4 A8's look inside and out, much better than the current D5 Generation.

I'm surprised you're only using it for weekends, seems like the perfect daily driver.

I own a couple contractor companies so my daily is a truck unfortunately. But I do plan on upgrading to the new EV f150 in the next couple years, pretty incredible how nice they're getting. I'm just tired of using rough riding sporty cars on the weekend so this should be a nice change. My tastes are definitely changing as I get older.

I've installed the stereo in a cut out in my fireplace that was probably for wood at some point, the fireplace is now gas so I wanted to fill it with something.

Splurged on great seats… for May 2022. He and Sebastian Maniscalco were both at Hard Rock Hollywood (separately) the same week we were out of town around Labor Day, which was some bad timing.

What's this work horse being used for? A buddy of mine just picked up a couple of Ford Transits. They'll be Data/Fiber trolley's.

What's an "audiophile"? My view, if you like to just chill and listen to music, if it speaks to you then my friend you are an audiophile.....we're all here because we like cars, some are more into it then others but really I guess we're all autophiles aren't we.
