I had to use the distance-measuring wheel from the club's equipment trailer to pace off the exact distance, because I knew that my report would be making the circles at the national risk management office due to the freak nature (pun intended) of this incident.....

I needed a new white Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gi, so I decided to try one of Fuji's "Suparaito" lightweight gi's to see how they hold up. My buddies seem to really like the quality, so I'm giving it a shot. It is noticeably lighter than my Gracie Barra and Origin gi's. I also ordered a WarTribe "DarkWater" gi for comps and a "Reaper" for those open rolls and/or traveling; my Future Kimono custom no-gi gear should be arriving any day now.

This should work nice run around the inside frame of our big picture window in the living room. Have the lights alternate between green and red or something like that. Cheap, too.

Replaced our X3 with a W211 E350. Officially no longer a BMW household now, but we will always remember them through our many oil and coolant stains left in the driveway and garage.

Nice looking benz. I always preferred the Benz to BMW until about 8-10 years ago when MB decided 4 cylinders was enough engine for an E series sedan and GLE SUV. Yes, it is enough for soccer moms but I NEED a little more blessed mother of acceleration without going all in on an AMG.

I might have bought a E450 if I could have found one (not) and instead got a 540i. This time I wanted an SUV and again could not find a GLE450 and only way to get more engine was AMG which really upped the ante. But the standard engine in the X5 was excellent.

To be fair seems the 5 series basic engine is also now a 4 banger. Jeez there was a time when if it didn't have 8 cylinders it was a no go for me. Sigh. Showing my age now.

We went with a GLE 450 for the wife primarily because like you we prefer 6 or more cylinders (unless its a Miata), and loved the mild-hybrid system which it shared with my CLS. That being said we did have a GLC 300 before and that engine was great in that size of vehicle.

The GLE 450 is actually roughly the same price as the X5 40i, however because it's technically the middle trim most compare the 350 to the X5 when its in reality cheaper and a lower trim. That being said, because most people buy for the badge they end up getting the 350.

I DIY'ed a Philips Hue one in my IKEA Kitchen Cabinet, 13 years ago. Runs 24/7. Blue at night and white during daytime.
