It was worth it.
Was the super hairy arm free, or was that stock?

Yea, at Nintendo world you get them out of a vending machine..

The Harry Potter part of the park is great.

We went on a Wednesday, rides that normally have an hour+ wait or some that need reservations had no line. I think the longest line was 25 minutes. They do close earlier though. Still plenty of time to go on every ride maybe 3x.

New desk and keyboard for my home studio DAW setup.

I replaced the loveseat that was the back row of my home theater seating, since it had become more of a junk collector than seating!

20 years ago I shudder to think how much a similar home setup would have cost. This is an area Tech has definitely improved.

That's for sure, 20 years ago I was using a good old 4-track Fostex cassette recorder.

That's the car both my wife and I so wanted when I got rid of my BMW. Unfortunately the massive hump in the passenger footwell was a deal killer.

My wife couldn't fit both her feet and even a small purse there.

It's definitely a tiny car. Luckily neither of us is tall so it's not too bad. Getting in and out is another story. I'm not sure I would ever consider it as a daily driver. This bad boy is strictly on mountain road scenic driving duty.

That being said I gotta drive this thing from FL to NC where it's going to live. I am NOT looking forward to that drive. We usually do it in one shot, but will probably have to split it into 2 days for this.

Bucket list car officially purchased! Don't have the car yet as I'm flying down to SC to do PCD later this week... but wow does this feel surreal. I've wanted an M3 for at least the past 15 years and to now finally achieve that dream is truly a blessing.
