Big week boys, got engaged on Monday, put in an offer on a house on Wednesday, and just today the fiance said she misses me having a sports car.

Best week ever? Perhaps

engaged a few days and used 'fiance' appropriately instead of 'girlfriend'. you're ahead of the game.

Congrats!  I'll tell you as I've told my other buddies before they got married, it's not that bad.  Now for the cynical side of me, get that house in both of your names and get the car in your name!

I'll be waiting for my wedding invite.

So I had an emergency come up Monday and had to take my car into Milwaukee Motorwerks. I looked at reviews and found the few posts on here and everyone seemed pleased with the service with the exception of one person. Anyone have more recent interactions with them? So far they seem to be taking good care of me.

As long as you know cars well, you should not have any problems. Brian and Evan are cool dudes.

[Nick_F]

Yea, I've been dealing with Brian and so far so good he has been extremely helpful. Figured I wanted to try and stay away from those dealership labor prices for some suspension work

I went to HS with Brian. I have watched his business grow from day 1. I use to spend a lot of time in that shop and his prior ones as well until I moved to Madison.

[Nick_F]

Well that is reassuring to hear. So far my only thought has been I should have been going there the whole time and not the dealer.

• GeForce RTX 2070 8GB graphics card
• 32GB 3000MHz DDR4 memory
• 512GB Intel NVMe M.2 SSD
• 3TB secondary hard drive
• ASUS Prime Z390 motherboard
• Liquid cooled CPU
• Dual 24” curved LED monitors

 if you look closely, there is another in the set of photos.

[straight6pwr]

that build ought to chooch pretty well. i had to look at M.2s after seeing yours, and it looks like prices are finally coming down on SSDs!

i like the desk.

[YoungCR]

I like the desk setup as well. First time with curved monitors? My dual flat panel 23" monitors are serving me well but I'm on the fence about curved monitors for when I do upgrade. I guess for the price I'd take higher resolution over just being curved first.

So im looking into buying a truck to tow stuff around with. Boat, cars etc.

What kind of truck do you guys use to tow stuff with.

Anyone have any experience with a 06-07 LBZ Duramax? Im leaning this way currently. I want a nice truck but not to nice so if I put a scratch into it I wont feel bad. I want something I can put to work and not be a mall crawler.
