when i drove my beamer for the first time… it was over. the responsiveness of both the steering and accelerator, matched with all the creature comforts (even in a 30+ year old vehicle!) and classic styling… have owned an e30 that i stupidly got rid of, and now an e34, looking at purchasing a new (to me) e83 x3. truly, the bmw is the ultimate driving machine.
(psa if you are not rich or willing to turn wrenches often, they may not be the wisest choice…)
ooh very nice… i better not look into it or i will be buying more pens… haha.
my biggest issue is finding paper that is not super expensive and can hold the ink well… bristol board is my favorite but loose sheets are annoying. i’ve found platinum’s carbon black to be the absolute best ink, after trying out many goulet and noodler’s blacks…
i spent way too much buying my grail pen a couple years back (pilot namiki falcon with 14k soft flex nib) and it is an absolute dream… though i do still love my pilot metropolitan and cheap jinhaos!
yeah, a machine shop would be a great idea especially if it’s imported as OP stated. they should be able to re-tap the threads as long as he didn’t completely destroy the caliper.
yeah, we just had our first a few months back so we will be dealing with childcare this fall…
hope it’s been enjoyable for you!
gorgeous!
yo if you don’t mind sending me one too that’d be dope
nice. i bet the body weighs a good bit unless there’s some relief in there!
always a fan of zero inlay necks, they look so clean. the white on maple really works for me
nice! i’m leaving 5th science to go down to 3rd… excited about it for sure, but i will definitely miss the 5th graders!
i’m in the same boat on the time frame!
and i’m going to a new grade and new subject so definitely will have to do some planning too!
my first car, the last-generation 1994 buick skylark was not…
(classic skylarks are fucking sweet though)
yes! absolutely love the vintage fj40s… would add international scout in the same category!
bmw 2002 hands down. i would kill for a clean daily but that’s some serious money….

for starters… i’ve migrated to a new district, have been working on catching up on some of my woodworking projects, and taking care of my classic bmw!
i always find the summer slips away from me, but this year i’m excited to be at a new school and honestly can’t wait for school to start!

i’ll have to check it out — back about five years ago r/fountain pens was a great community!
build one! it’s a blast!
excellent! did you build the guitar yourself? either way, would love to know the woods!
i have thought about doing that before! how did the thickness work out?
oh, absolutely!
