Just bought this cam. I have a spot I want to put a camera to cover my front yard, but the mount point is between two soffits where they almost intersect. So a turret cam mounted flush on that wall would have an obstructed view. This bullet cam is almost 7" from the base to the lens, so that should let it mostly clear the obstructions. I've been thinking about getting one of these for a while, but that $15 coupon brings it down to a reasonable cost.

If you were the sole winner of 910 on Friday, 10 is about all you would get

I'd be good with 10 mil too. That would last me a good long time.

BTW, I have never once bought a Lotto ticket. Not sure why.

Lotteries are a voluntary tax for the stupid.

That's a valid perspective, and there are many, many that should not even think about buying lottery tickes with their limited funds, but maybe not so much in a high-end German car forum. I suspect that most of us can afford the occassional $2+ to try to grab a piece of a distant dream. When the pot gets over about $400M I'll plunk down for a few. It's fun to tease my wife, asking her where she intends to live with her 1/2.

I like to say that you won't win if you do play, but you _can't_ win if you don't.

It will work. For a while. Then they will shit on it.

Try moving it around once a week. Large rubber snakes might also help.

Was just reading a comparo between the '23 Honda Civic Type R and the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla (Circuit) in the March 2023 MotorTrend magazine.

The Type R won.

PS - I’m a little behind in my reading material. lol

I've had a deposit down for a GRC for over a year now. I ended up turning down 4 or 5 total because they were either the wrong color or weren't CE's. Over time the CTR slowly won me over instead. I started getting really serious about securing one on 7/14 and exactly 2 weeks later it was in my garage. I'm very happy with the outcome and the decision to wait and not just settle for whatever was offered to me.

You made the right decision in my book.

The last paragraph of the article:

"But the riotous Toyota doesn't lose the comparison test so much as the Honda Civic Type R wins it. With its end-to-end excellence, not a single major asterisk attaches itself to the CTR. It delivers racy performance, refinement, spaciousness and quality, plus a special sizzle that will indulge owners every day, just as a leading hot hatch should."

Got a set of headers for the mustang this weekend at Summit. Probably wouldn't have been my first choice but they were in the demo area and listed at $140 when they're $285 new.
