the only caveat on the R1S is that there is no captain’s chair option for the 2nd row so getting to the 3rd will be a pain until the kids are out of boosters. Aside from that and the lack of OEM running boards I have no issues with mine. I went with aftermarket rock sliders and getting in and out is easy for the kids now.

@BayeauxLex My wife, daughter and I just cleaned out our hallway closet. There was an old Dell workstation from 2007 that's been sitting in there since 2016. When she wanted to throw it years back, I kept telling her I was building a server. Several times throughout the years she kept asking me to throw it, and I kept saying "I'm building a server". This time, that excuse didn't seem to fly. So there is some hoarder in me after all

I use a windows laptop from 2013-2014 to tune my car. I really feel bad for my tuner when I give him remote access because the hour glass is constantly spinning. My wife bought me a new laptop for Christmas. Idk what kind it is because I haven’t opened it yet🫣. I told her the old windows computer still works but she said but it’s old. My rebuttal but it works.

as for your friends, yes, non-resident owners pay a lot more in property taxes. mine isn't that bad. coincidentally there's talk of the governor abolishing property taxes now!
1.5 x 2.5 = $3.75 / week

- anything that i can't run CURRENT operating system versions is tossed (recycled) or given away. i also just refurbed two pc's from about 2020 (intel 10th gen dell xps towers running fine) and sold 'em.

ice wasn’t too thick on the doors so it wasn’t that bad. If I were a smarter person, I would’ve checked the passenger side which had significantly less ice build up and gone in that way. I’m PPF’d on the entire truck so not as concerned about paint issues. It survived getting through some tight spots on the trails without pinstripes so a little ice didn’t seem too bad
