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

It's been a struggle, and she's quick to correct me lol

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.

Thanks man!

WiBimmers will be invited

I think you will need to be more specific..

I got a new computer setup yesterday. Editing photos and videos will be so much faster now

• Intel i9-9900K 8 core processor
• 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.

Will this double as a winter vehicle? LBZ is a good motor but will the maintenance be worth while? If you plan on keeping it for a long time then yes or you plan on 300+ mi trips for parts cars. If its just gonna sit around and be used just for towing I'd just stick with a gas truck.

Yes id like to double it as a winter vehicle. Id keep it for awhile until 1. I dont need a truck anymore. Or 2. I want an upgrade. Ultimately id be picking up a few cars all throughout the US. I have a buddy who is both a BMW and Diesel mechanic who can help me with stuff that needs to be done on it. So he wont rob me blind.

I know nothing about them besides thats the first "good" generation of Duramax. If he has the tools to work on it that certainly makes things easier and more affordable. Also don't even consider local trucks, make a road trip out of it and buy a southern truck. You'll come out far ahead.

Definitely. Needs to be rust free, stock, and under 200k miles. My buddy told me its the best Duramax until you get to the brand new ones. Im looking for a smaller truck that can tow a good amount so an extended cab short bed would be perfect.

A longer wheel base is going to tow a lot better if you have the space to keep it. ECLB's are more common too.

I just started playing Tom Clancy The Division 2 and World War Z.  I'm also looking to getting into Total War Warhammer but just got a decent PC last weekend.  Also, I'm terrible at PC shooters.

Does it have Bluetooth? You can connect a console controller that way.
