Craftsman 25CC leaf blower, and Craftsman 25CC weedwhacker, paid a combined total of 24$ for both of them brand new from lowes 5 months ago, also bought 2 others of the same weedwhacker and sold them for 80$ each, so i made ~140$ after keeping the leaf blower and weedwhacker for myself .

2018 BMW i3.
Cost: free
Profit: $4k

Long story short, got an awesome deal on it, but I started having problems. BMW offered to buy it back but I refused. I loved the car and I wanted it fixed. I also told them I wasn't sure I would get the same deal since it was a unicorn deal ($204/mo after taxes on a 30 month lease). They offered a cash payout plus guaranteed BMWFS rebate if I got another i3, which I was planning to anyway since I really did love the car.

All in all, the settlement recouped all my expenses on the car. I basically drove the car for free for a year, including insurance, and I still had $4k in extra cash. I ended up finding a newer i3 with more options, upgraded interior and a bigger discount than my old one with a lower monthly payment ($194/mo).

My free i3:

from homedepot i purchased repair kit that contains all kinds of washers for outdoor spigot, faucets etc.... so far i have repaired 3 hose bibbs, the rubber washer held by screw was thin like paper.
First i had to check DIY on youtube, just to make sure I could do the task.

I bought a 2012 TDI Touareg. 5 years later they paid me just short of what I paid fully for it. I ordered my 328dX Wagon with that money.

I'm not sure why, but all my posts look like "first post" for some reason. My post count never goes above one!

Weird. You’re like the forever noob.

Inanimate: hand tools. I’ve got screwdrivers and wrenches I bought in the 1970s that I still use and work great.

Power tool: surprisingly it is a bench grinder I bought for about $30 over 40 years ago and still use to sharpen everything from shovels to lawnmower blades. I’ve been tempted to put on a buffing wheel, but never have.

Animate: no question that would be our doggo. Chocolate lab rescue.

Because off-topic posts don't count, just like in many other online forums.....
