Also, little hard to believe a car of this level of tech, which has wireless charging and the ability to start and drive the car with your cellphone and a fingerprint - requires a cable for Car Play or Android Auto. So, $90 bucks for carlinkit will fix that.

And - work to doggie proof the car (though, there's really no such thing with my dogs). But...it's a start. Instead of WeatherTech - I'm going to try TuxMat for the front, went with Custom Mats for the back.
My wife’s Volvo XC60 requires the phone to be plugged in (just USB though) for CarPlay too. That’s a nice looking vehicle you got.

It just arrived. 3 separate packages in one. Bubble type unfortunately but super easy to push through unlike some other pills that I have. Here's a pic or two:

Thank you - technically the wife's car, I really only drive it when taking the pups out.

So - at this point, I'm not recommending the Carlinkit...screen keeps going blank when driving (disconnects then reconnects). Guess I need to check out their support on this. Maybe the car is too new for the software they have.

I buy 8 packs for the same reason. Pissed me off that Costco took all my grey ones and swapped them out for green too.

I have the AA Wireless version in my Tacoma, same crap whenever I am in a low cell service area. Makes no sense since it is a bluetooth connection?

65" Samsung Terrace Outdoor TV. Has been awesome with what little pool weather Texas has left.

Looked at those, but man, the price! Decided I was better off with $400 55" RCA w/Roku and a cover to keep the winter rains off of it. Sitting out in our (very mild) elements under cover of the eaves all summer might well result in its early demise. I figured even if it does I could replace the thing 6 times before I spent the same amount as I would on a similar Terrace. So far it's lasted two years, so we'll see.

2022 Tesla Model S Plaid. What a car. No more ice for me (two CE lights this wknd alone). Tesla nailed it. Very smooth, stupid fast (1020hp, 1050 torques), not a peep inside, good steering and can handle the twisties too. Love it.

Ya I know. It was a splurge, and I had friends who did very similar to you with a less expensive tv that you could buy ten over before a terrace, but they all said not loud enough and glare is an issue. My tv won't see much weather, but where it is with a heavy enough rain water can rush off that roof so did the "buy once, cry once". And I didn't need any kind of sound bar and there is no glare. You can see it at any angle. Texas gets hot, so was worried about overheating too. But two years on an indoor tv that lives outside. That's impressive.

This is my fourth Seiko which includes a modded SKX. They are all very good watches for the money.

Exactly what my father used to say. He was a watch maker/repair guy all his life. He had a lot of watches, Rolex, Omega, Zenith, etc. But his daily was a vintage Grand Seiko from the early 70's.

Damn...nice!

And no need for the 2nd emission sticker on the windshield.
