Big personalities and flaunting of wealth don't do it for me at all. Humble, quiet, and reserved does. I've known way too many rich and famous people. The best people, are the people who you would never know were either of those.

I don't know the guy, but it didn't take much looking to see he likely fits in the first category.
You're not wrong. He is a really skilled driver. Probably one of the best rally drivers the US has at the moment. But he is a bit brash and out there. Impressive to watch in his element, but obnoxious outside of it.

AC is out, still.

TV quit. To be fair it is seven years old and a black friday 55" I bought for like $500. Guess i got my moneys worth.

So, make a drink first, or ?
You have to really realize that what's happening in the matrix is a Ransomware/DDOS attack. And it's to the scale that the system can't deal with it.

From talking with people about the trilogy the hardest thing I've heard is that people have a hard time seeing the actors as software instead of people. Which is why everybody hated The Architect in the 2nd movie. Once you realize that this is all software and can only do what it is coded to do, then so much more of the story makes sense.

Update on 4x4 parts. I order the pml shackles in March. Was told they are made when ordered so there is a small lead time. I emailed about the status the beginning of June and on the 6th was told they were scheduled to go out the end of that week. I still have not received them or an email with a shipping notification on it.

Nothing about this surprises me.

it sold. I had it favorited on FB and its marked sold.
Tks, I’m in S.C. & wished I had seen it earlier, just what I need is two X’s. My 014 S has just turned 50k & like new, but would love to have a manual and guessing it may have been an OFF ROAD w rear locker....‍♂️

This is essentially the default for anybody selling stuff for the X and now anything better than that I consider a pleasant surprise.

I am okay with delays and things happening. I’m not okay with bad communication, no communication, or false communication.

That sucks, I'm just really looking for some real communication on what is happening. Also they have a great deal on Bilstein made Nismo shocks for non lifted X's that I really wanted to order but I am real hesitant now.
Supply chains are ufcking struggling right now. And for some reason there are some companies that don't want to admit long wait times and just stay silent. 4x4parts has always been one of those companies. You'll have to call them and talk to a person to get actual traction.
