Does it have that 3M double sided tape? If so and it's been on there for even a short while...., you'll have a hell of a time conditioning before discoloration becomes slightly unnoticeable. Ask me how I know.

Yeah I wouldn't mess with it. I'm still trying to get a dash spot to blend naturally 3 years after removing. It's not bad, but when you know it's there it's all you'll notice.

We have one of these. It’s was our first real drone. Very cool for the money. Keep the prop guards on for safety. Does not hamper the flight or maneuvering at all

My buddy has that one or the more expensive one, I know he told me he paid like 2g's or more. But either way those DJI drones are badass, its super quick, maneuverable, they can go so far and high, and the cam quality is awesome.

Been getting parts together for a diy rod bearing swap on the e60 M5. Just waiting for the Vanos high pressure line and pan bolts to show. UPS has had them touring the country for 2 weeks.

Apple AirPods Max. Inscribed with my Starbucks name - Linus Chevelle

I like them a lot better than my Bose Quiet Comfort or B&W. They sound better to me, and are much more comfortable on my head…and they don't want to fall out on the ground like my AirPods Pro want to. The spatial audio on these is incredible

What’s the deal with the old school yard sticks? Is that some kind of desktop pad? Table top? Pretty cool.

Thanks and great guess. It's a bench that we use as a coffee table in our family room

Had a remote starter installed on my dad's car since it sits outside in the cold. Early birthday gift I guess. Only cost me $250. Dealer pricing

Mom told me I should get one put on my car. I was like "hell no they'll most likely mess up the wiring". She told me maybe I should buy a new car in a year or two....

I am pretty sure that is just a reflection Marcus - it'll likely be even more impressive after you turn it on.

Remote start kits for our cars are PNP, no splicing necessary

Quick question: What made you go with Sony over LG?

I am a huge fan of LG brand as a whole. This is actually my first Sony TV purchase since my old school silver bravia tube TV back in the late 90s!
The newer Bravia line of TVs have become quite respected and desirable over the past few years. Specifically their main processor chips known as XR have been very highly regarded for overall PQ. I strongly considered LG C1 77in OLED.I scoured the internet and YouTube reviews and comparisons.
It really came down to Samsung, LG and Sony. I then insisted on having Dolby Vision and Atmos standard. That ruled out Samsung. I then decided against OLED for fear of potential of image burn in. Especially on static images. I watch lot's of ESPN and yes, CNN. They both have those permanent, scrolling, bright banners at the bottom that are notorious for burn in or ghosting. My eyes and vision are quite sensetive. I still see in 20/20. I did not one to risk seeing anything like that while watching a movie(s) with black bars and faint images at the bottom.
The room this TV in can get bright (advantage LED) and very dark.
II have since self calibrated this Sony and it is stunning. Especially with 4K HDR10 content! But even 1080 like tonight's Thursday Night Football is incredible.
I definitely wanted 80in and up since I already had a 80" full array LED 1080p for over 6 years. Lastly, I grabbed this on a Cyber Monday deal that I could not pass up.

A silly question really. Couldn't you watch equal amounts of Foxnews to counter the ghost burn in from CNN?
