3.) Anti war

Is this the guy wanting to invade... (checks notes) Canada, Greenland and Panama?

@Stinkie Well "Pootin" owns his debt, has so for decades. His followers are a cult, nothing more. I myself am rooting for cholesterol to win over him!

And for grins and giggles here is the picture I took at this pull off....

@Rich-O-Brien LOL, just paid it off so I'm going to keep it a while Here it is in it's native habitat on the curvy back roads of the NC mountains. This was in the Great Smokey Mountains NP near Cherokee, NC.

@Gus-R Go rent a newer one some weekend or on a trip. The S550 platform, 2015-2023, has a fully independent rear suspension and is night and day better than the older ones with the live axle. Of course the GT with it's 420 - 460 hp is a monster. They don't make the V6 (300 hp) model like mine anymore but the ecoboost 4 cyl (315 hp) is not bad. The back seat is completely useless but the trunk is actually nice. Enough space for luggage for 2 people.

@Mike-Amos I agree. My wife has a '23 Kia Sportage and it fully digital. I mean there are only 2 physical knobs on the info/stack. It's a great vehicle but pretty boring to drive. I much prefer my "analog" car and it's quirks.

@Mike-Amos They are fun for sure. Here's my current ride. Nothing fancy but with over 300 hp and a "lively" rear end it is fun. Not fun on wet days

As a previous '67 and now a '16 owner I approve of this image My '67 in HS and college was green.

@L-i-am said in Wire Wheels 1967 Alfa Romeo:

Cars of that era were done by great designers, now? not so much

Pssshhh, Sir Ian Callum is the GOAT car designer. Aston Martin VH platform (Vantage, DB7, DB9 and Vanquish) and Jaguar F Type just to name a few. Timeless designs.

Great render BTW

@Bryan-K Their Craft software can be a bit much as well. On one hand it's very customizable but maybe "too" complicated? It's pretty slick though...

@L-i-am Very nice

@Mike-Amos Both of mine are rechargeable so I have to plug them in every so often but so far so good. Both could die tomorrow

@Mike-Amos

Hi Mike, I am using a Logitech Craft keyboard and a Pro X Superlight mouse. What are you seeing on your end? So far I can't point to any issues that I have with these. I've been using them for about 6-7 months.
Win 11 Pro 23H2 - Dell XPS 8950

@L-i-am said in Bevel tool (very cool):

Very cool should be an SU native tool

^^^ This right here.

@grizzler Glad that you got it sorted

@grizzler Have an example to share?

@Joe-Wood Oops, I might have and if I did I'm sorry.

@Joe-Wood Sorry to hear about your troubles Joe. I only advise for people who are pretty good with technology in getting refurb systems. 8 out of 10 times they are usually good deals but issues can come up. My last home box was a Dell refurb from NewEgg.com and it was rock solid for 6 years. It was a base unit and I added in ssd and graphics card but I am confident in my abilities to do so. I hope your new system works better for you. Thanks for sharing your designs as well.

@deanbuckeridge None at all. I currently have a Dell XPS 8950 (i9-12900K) with 64 gb of DDR5 and RTX 3080 and SU Pro 23 is rock solid. Windows 11 Pro 22H2 OS. Sorry to hear that you are having problems.

Looking really good!
