Never could afford nicer cars when younger. The wife and I now have a nice pair of Camaro convertibles. Hers: 2014 RS (V6) white with black stripes. Mine: 2018 SS (V8) black with white stripes. As Star Wars geeks we also have a theme going on the rear plates. Hers is Stormtrooper, while mine is Darth Vader.
Heh, a couple years ago I visited a collection in Wisconsin (pretty much a museum) of Nash/Hudson based vehicles. I took a ton of pictures.
I think it was called Kissel Museum, Kissel eventually was morphed into Hudson, Nash, AMC etc. (somehow Evenrude even came into play if I recall correctly)
Pretty amazing to see cars with wood frames. That surprised me. Funny how things evolve..in one short lifetime. They had an original Cadillac (2 cylinder if I recall), a Doge that came in a kit and you bought the parts through mail order as you could afford until eventually you had yourself a car! And a Sears car you could buy from the catalog. Pretty interesting place to wander around in for a few hours. <grin> Cars from 1900 to now. Everything from a RedRyder wagon with a Briggs & Stratton motor (and pedals) to a super Javelin, to a new 'vette. Kinda fun. They even have an operating Steam Train on premise.
Fun to visit if you are ever in the area .. one of those weird finds.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
I purchased a 17" laptop: Intel Core i7-10750H Processor 2.6GHz; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Max P 6GB GDDR6; 32GB DDR4-2933 RAM; 1TB M.2 Internal SSD X 2, Windows 10 Pro, 1 thunderbolt 3 port, 3 USB 3 ports, built in cam etc etc.
I have had plenty of success with refurbs. HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini Business Desktop PC Intel Quad-Core i5-6500T up to 3.1G,16GB DDR4,512GB SSD,VGA,DP Port,Windows 10 Professional 64 Bit-Multi-Language-English/Spanish (Renewed), $274 at Amazon.
You can find plenty of refurbs like this and more powerful than this for very good prices. Plenty of horsepower for BIAB and RealBand.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
