I just picked up an R5, it has been a nice upgrade over my 5Diii. You're not joking on the price of rf glass. I'm glad the ef adapter and lenses work so well with the new body.

this would fit your needs and would give you a total lens range from 28-350 with no gaps. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1502821-REG/sony_e_70_350mm_f_4_5_6_3_g.html

for track days, you will want to have some reach since you will be far away. For car shows, you will want wide angle to capture the cars since you will be close. You mentioned not wanting to spend a ton, so don't get too worked up over aperture size. Most car shows and track events will be...

It's crazy here in a small mountain town in North GA. We bought in 2019 and were looking in the $250k to a budget stretch of $350k. The cabins in 2019, that were overpriced at $350k then are now selling for $750k. They were shit cabins at $350k, but they selling for double that within days...

As others have said, if activity/fitness tracking is priority, I'd go with Garmin. If you want something can also integrate as a cell phone on your wrist, go with Apple.

I've ridden a motorcycle for most of my life. I gave up street riding due to the idiots on the roads--and yes it is much worse now that people consider driving a second priority when behind the wheel. Too many are buried in their phone vs paying attention. I keep all of my 2-wheel activities...

This is great lol

I enjoy the interaction, I enjoy feeling like I got a deal, I enjoy building relationships because shit happens and it's good to have some report with the dealership. I always go in person. I always do my homework and know when to stay or walk. It's part of the game for me. Buying a car, to...

Am I the only one that enjoys negotiating with the dealership? I absolutely hate the idea of set prices on vehicles....f that.

Let me try this again... I like the wall hangers that grab the bike by a pedal and have a small piece of angle to for the wheels to rest on : Or, there is a simple hook available at walmart for $10 that holds the wheel, it also works great: There is a huge backorder of bikes, and bike...

I knew it!!!

Always! For the type of riding I do, which is mostly trails with a lot of chatter from rocks and roots, clips work perfect. I think I'd lose my footing on flats and taking sharp pedals to the shin sucks. I don't ride any jumps or big drops, so clips work well for me.

Here are my current bikes: Ripmo and on a ride with the wife Ripley: Turbo Levo:

All those bike you listed are great! I am a bit biased to Ibis, but can't go wrong with Transition or Revel. I will say, the customer service of Ibis is ridiculously good. I have had a couple of issues, due to my own stupidity, and have always received a reply in a short time (typically...

The new s58 is stout. It's making a lot of steam with a tune. I'd easily choose the M3 over the hellcat. I have no doubts 3.6 and 11.6 are conservative. People are running those times stock in the X3M. Go test drive both. If you can't find a new M3 to test drive, test drive a X3M. Same...

Obviously there are exceptions, but are the majority of service advisors car-illiterate? On a rare occasion, I get someone who actually enjoys cars and is an enthusiast. It seems the rest of them don't know the difference between a lug-nut and an air filter.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!

For lighter snow, I'll agree the heat from the panels will accelerate the melting. For any appreciable snow, the panels wont do a thing. Also, most commercial roof mounted solar arrays are at a very slight tilt on a flat roof--there is not enough tilt to move the snow. For large-scale ground...

No, none of this is true.

This is an entirely different argument, and would bet your 50% estimate is generous. I'd guess it's more in the 30% efficient (70% lost) or LESS range.

I don't disagree that distributed generation (close to the source of use) is a good path forward for the future, but.... There is not a 50% loss of electricity due to transmission and distribution...not even close. It is more like 5% lost to transmission and distribution.

Don't be scared by reliability and big ticket failures. The newer BMWs seems to be very reliable. I had an e46 in the past, and it too was very reliable. I sold it with 130k miles and never once had it on jackstands--the same cannot be said about my Terminator. Recently, we've had an M2, M3...

I know it's not on your list, but stay away from GA. We're also full. Honestly, I'd pick the place with the least population and the least traffic. If there's one thing I have learned (or confirmed) throughout the pandemic, it's this: congestion and crowding leads to a significant decline in...
