Thanks for the question. Just to confirm, you are using these specific ones like me from B&BW?
I know their are tons of retail brands like Airwick, Glade, etc.

If so, I've definitely tried many of these in various flavors. From what I've noticed, there some tasty are longer lasting than others. Here's my list of lasting ones:
Pumpkin Pecan Waffle
Apple Pie (nearly all Apple varieties)
Holiday scents in general
Floral scents

I use some of the Holiday, Laundry Day, Mahogany Teakwood, Black Tie, Flannel, Sweater Weather etc, and I feel like the first week they are perfect, then the scent gets so faint, to almost non-existent even with half a bottle left. I think it is the wallplug itself, good for one-two FULL bottle uses then it is like I described earlier.

Latest purchase. Needed a new soft side cooler. New latch system is better than the previous version. Got a Camino bag too for random stuff; pool/beach towels, etc.

Also, creeping in the back is a Flex PXE 80 12 polisher which is great for little touch ups and tighter areas that need polishing. This thing is amazing.

iPhone 13 Pro Max

I wanted to get another year out of it, but I dropped my iPhone 11 on the last day of our Disney World trip and the worthless case and screen protector did nothing.

Was going to wait a week or two and get an iPhone 14 Plus, but looked at the 13 Pro Max and went with it instead. They both have the same processor, but this has the better camera and higher refresh rate for the same price.

I added a couple items to my detailing kit and will try to finally eliminate those swirl marks. If not, it may be time to respray the hood and roof.

Didn't exactly bought it but claim it under warranty. I've been riding since 1963 and I never heard of a broken rear hub.

The bearing cup (grears side) came appart, you guess it "Made in China"...

The worst part is it is wife’s car I was driving while she was in the car. No one else to blame. Hate when that happens.

P400 Obviously not the power of the M50i but 400hp isn't bad on this frame. My next will be a V8 in 12 months if the resale holds up. Had a defender 90 bought new in Nov of 21. Gave me my money back on it. Got the wife a CPO RR Sport at the same time.
