That's a smokin' deal on that rotary hammer. Well done.
Yeah, already put it to good work tearing up some old flooring as well! That thing was a life saver!

Tried this and just returned it. Too weak. Need to stick with corded shop vacs.

REI run landed me with Marmot Castle Peak snow pants, Altra Lone Peak 4.5, TC Pro climbing shoes, and an OR rain hat.

Even more ready for my climbing trip this weekend now 😄

The snow pants were in the Garage due to a small cut near the pocket which I just patched as seen in the pic. Worth the $375 savings.

I like the first one we got so much that I bought another. One for upstairs, one for downstairs. And this is the 50-minute version, which *was* the Deal of the Day on Amazon and is less than the 40-minute version I bought last month.

Found finally a nice and subtle rear spoiler for the F33/F83, same shape as for the F82. Until yet not finally installed, was only first fitment test.

Awesome and I may do a thread. Not sure really how much its going to need but its been sitting for a few years. You can kinda see the nose poking out in this pic.

It was my first car, I have had it since I was 15 and I turn 38 in August. The timing belt broke on it probably 10 years ago and its been sitting under the cover since. I know my dad looked it over with a borescope and the pistons and cylinder walls look good so it just needs a head.

The fuel tank is going to be the rough spot for you if it wasn't drained. A new one is only $2k

Luckily my project is looking pretty good. PO had drained all the fuel in the tank and lines. Came with tons of receipts, interior is 7/10 after a clean up, body has zero rust with the underneath looking like new. Came with a rebuilt engine (944 engine with it being an S) that needs put in and about half of another engine. The PO kept bringing box after box of new parts that he had laying around from the years. The back tail light had a crack and it even came with a new one.

Checked all the electrics the other night and surprisingly everything still works, even the radio sounded great. Got it for a steal, I think at least, cost only 1k because he needed the room and wanted to see it fixed up. Figure that it will cost about 5-6k to get it going again.

Thumbs up

For my Sneaker Heads... These are the Most Comfortable and durable socks for the money you can buy... Period.
I mostly wear sneakers, running shoes at that. Naturally, I need comfy, breathable, higher Cotton content socks. And I definitely prefer below ankle length.
I first purchased this brand from Amazon over a year ago. They have been worn all day and washed many, many times over. No signs of tearing and barely any shrinking.
I just purchased 30 more pairs for my family and I.
I can't recommend these enough!

Do they offer these in "no show" type or only "low cut"? Just wondering because I prefer the no show type. They definitely sound nice.

These are pretty much No Show. They may not look like it. But the little pull tabs in the rear work very well! I absolutely HATE when my socks slide down the back of my heel. That's why I generally avoid no-show socks.
I say order a 6 pack and try em out.

Yeah I did notice that tab design, pretty clever. I do know what you mean about the back sliding! Thanks.

Haha! I tend to be very detailed oriented for better or worse.

But I enjoy sharing great finds with others to enjoy.

Also, they have 2 varieties: Running with cushion soles and Athletic style.
I'm trying the Athletic style but have history with these:

No doubt. I've tried all sorts of Nike, Adidas, etc. And none even come close to these. You guys will be impressed. Try out a 6 pkof white,black or grey. Then you'll know if you want them all like me.

I'm currently using Hanes X-Temp Active Cool no show socks and think they're great. I have only found these exact ones at Target even though there are other ones very similar sold at other stores. Not sure why the ones I've bought at Target are slightly different. These specific ones are only sold in packs of 3. I bought what I thought were the same exact ones in a 12 pack to discover they weren't exactly the same. Good but not as good. The ones I get have that thin mesh-like material (that stretches) similar to the ones you're recommending which helps a lot with keeping the feet cool. Man this is getting deeply nerdy about socks. Lol.
