I keep missing my turns I can't tell if my faculties are failing, or if I'm so enamored with the HUD that I'm just not seeing the road.

Don't feel bad. I had to set up reflectors on sticks in our garage because I can't judge distance in front of the car any more. I have to pull up to the stick until I see it move a bit from hitting it. Sux to get old.

Well, that freaking warning sensor is driving me crazy. I turned down the volume. My driveway from the back of the house to the street is 125' and pretty narrow. The warning beeps from the time I get on the driveway until I turn the car off.

I know that one day, I'm going to ignore it because it's always going off, and then I'm going to run something over. Those 275 meats on the back are going to squish whatever it was, too.

I am always rotated in the seat, looking back, and checking mirrors. Only quickly glance at the rear camera.

The "collision sensor" in my GLC is totally useless. It beeps every time I drive by a friggin' mailbox. Drives me nuts. Yet it rarely beeps at cars cutting across in front of me. Most useless piece of technology I've ever seen on a car.

We have been replacing our (really) old non-stick cookware set that are probably full of bad chemicals with newer pans. Mostly All Clad, and not non-stick. But it’s nice to have at least one good non-stick. I had not heard of this brand previously, but after reading about their products and watching some videos, I decided to try them out. After convincing my wife.

We’ve had cast iron in the past. Nice cooking surface but not interested in the maintenance and storage.

Micro SD card for my DAP since the built in drive (64GB) was full. Only $26, pretty good deal I think. Should hold a decent amount of music.

Finally replacing my racing gloves for Sparco Arrows. These have capacitive touch so I don't have to keep annoying taking my gloves on an off on the grid to adjust my settings on my timing equipment. $200 for fucking gloves.

Bought an LG 55CX OLED a couple of hours ago and there’s a definite improvement in picture quality over my 5/6 year old Samsung 6 series. Other than having to learn and customizing it to my liking, the three things I don’t like about it so far is the tv is too low/close to the bottom of the stand and there is zero tilt-ability to it, the Samsung I could have tilt it a good 15 degrees in any direction, and it changes channel noticeably slower. This tv rated really good for sports and steaming so hopefully I can get another 5-7 years before another upgrade.

My current LCD TV isn't old enough to justify replacing though I'd really like to get an OLED set. Because I'm a Sony fanboy admittedly I want to get a Master Series OLED set that has gotten really good reviews. The 55" is big enough for my needs just like you.

Best Buy is having a sale for the A8H right now, $400 off. He talked to me about it too but you can see from the pic I needed a central stand. I just went on their site and it looks like I lucked out, the sale is done for my CX.

Word of awareness... the black parts will fade out to pale blue in 3-6 months.
Then they will be almost illegible.
