I like that Cat.

But as long as I'm dreaming, I'd make it a yacht like this, and the Côte d'Azur.

I've told the story before about visiting the wife's cousin and her husband in St. Tropez.  He apparently had a good job at some point as he had an estate with acreage walking distance from the dock.  He wanted to take me to a bistro overlooking the dock downtown, so we went.  There were some HUGE boats backed into the dock.  And then out in the bay I could see several yachts the size of destroyers.  They wouldn't fit up close.

Someone always has a bigger boat, a larger portfolio, a faster car, a younger wife, a larger, um, whatever.  

Finding a spot in life where you are happy with what YOU have is a blessing.

Time to buy a lift kit for the Jeep, since my fall Saturdays are wide open for installation. 

Looking for a 2.5" lift which is reasonable and will allow for 35s. Trying to figure which of three options to get... AEV, Teraflex, or Old Man Emu...

I put an offer in on one of these a few days ago, for Florida.

Congrats, hope it works out well for you!

My next one will likely be something like this:

That would be a fun project!  I'm new to the world of Jeeps and lifts, so I'm not much help.  I don't know AEV or Old Man Emu, I've heard from more experienced Jeep friends that they like Terflex, and of course lots of people recommend Metalcloak.

I'm assuming you're doing a full lift with new shocks/springs, rather than just spacers?

Our 2017 JKU is a Rubicon already so it already has a bit of a factory lift on it and came stock with 33s, but can run 35s without needing any further lift. The current/original tires are still in great shape (it only had 17K miles on it when we bought it), but when it's time to go to new tires, I'll probably increase to 35s.

Yeah, full suspension lift. Do I seem like a "just spacers" guy to you lol?

It's already a Rubicon but additional lift will give it more room for 35s and improve the look. The 2009 JK only comes with 32s, not 33s.

Love the trimaran. My father in law lives on something similar down in the Virgin Islands.  He runs cruises on it.  I've been on it several times, nice boats.

I have lost some whatever for Cadillac.  I had two CTS', 2005 and then 2018.  I liked both.  The '18 was a marked step up.

Now they have "switched back" again and renamed them, which I dislike as a marketing strategy.  This may be a decent car for the money, you can probably get one at a big discount.  I don't understand where Caddy is headed.  If they make all their money off SUVs, fine, make SUVs, and perhaps a few sedans.  They engineered a fine DOHC V8 called the Blackwing and barely used it in anything.  Now it's dead.  They moved to NYC, and then moved back.

And supposedly they are going right at Tesla in two years.  I doubt that works out for them.
GM has had trouble determining what it should do for a couple of decades now.  It has produced some brilliant cars but more real clunkers.

What I see from GM is "uneveness".  They will get say the steering and handling done world class, and then the interiors are a let down.  I think they have some great engineers scattered about who care about cars, but the "designers" are cost cutters or something and do weird things, like the Caddy touch screen (which I never minded myself).

I couldn't name a bad vehicle they make today, there aren't many out there period.  And the Cadillac focus on EVs puzzles me.  We'll see.

Well its Hurricane season and Houston is in the track of not one but two storms due to hit middle of next week

I love this time of year

The only bright side is as of now neither storms are forecast to be more then a cat 1 when they hit

Thats good unless it hangs around for more then a day

Well now the latest storm tracks show both storms heading for Louisiana

Again these are not dangerous storms but Im glad they both shifted to the east
