14, 18k, or 24k?

Also did they charge you extra to remove and reinstall that o-ring and seal ring?

But they wouldn't be magnetic so nothing to worry about

You crazy goon! Love it!

BTW, I know of a certain mature gentleman that has a taste for finer things that would love it as well. You guys should hook up for some Courvoisier and cigars and talk about this new book.

First you are talking about probing the potential male buyers of your car and now you are wanting to see guys hook up with each other. Are you really selling your car so you can pick up a Miata and join DT on the Hairdresser's racing circuit?

Speaking of, I got behind a Prius this morning with the license plate "Man&Cat" with a line of cat foot print stickers running down it. You were the first thing that came to mind...

The only cat I have is my wife.

Nice come back!

VERY NICE. That puts my piston/LMSB combo to shame.

Yours is worthy of a lifetime of desk display.

I figure this makes it at least looks like the $10k of depreciation it's cost us

Pretty sure I've already gotten my $325 out of it as much spinning of it that I've been doing. Also pretty sure my co-workers will be happy that I'll be working from home the next 2 days

Damn, and I thought people who buy enormous iPhones were the ones with a disposable income issue.

Hmmm, anyone know the rough IMS revolutions in a mile at an average of 3k RPM engine speed? As much as I'm spinning this thing I'm half curious to start tracking it and see how many more "miles" I get before it causes a catastrophic desk failure

Is two oversized or one ginormous iPhone worse? (honestly, work pays for one!)

You need to put some weight on it so it has some thrust load.
