Post a pic of whatever your latest buy is you are proud of.
Does not have to be automotive in any way.

Request, don't "quote" pics for comments. Just note the original poster's name. We don't need 25 quoted pictures of someone's new headers. I just got my NCC Fab (https://nccfab.com/) A2W intercooler.

Thanks. I know it's huge, but the heat loads required a core this size. The layout dictated the shape, as everything is fighting for real estate. C&R (PWR now) built it from my dimensions. The fans are Spal brushless, the aftermarket ones.

It itself doesn't really qualify as "latest"...but I seem to be buying things for it pretty frequently. Latest purchase was a Trifecta Tune and I order 4.10 gears for it also.

That's a bad looking son of a gun! Ya, I'm excited about it. They have grown on me over the years similarly to the square body trucks. I like the rawness, weight, flip up lights, and the performance of this car stock is really hard to believe. It's faster than I thought it would be. Maybe I'm just getting old and I've been driving a truck too long. HA

Very nice AT4 HD. I was looking for a white one, but all dealers wanted much over sticker and weren't dealing well on my trade. F250 Tremor for a little under sticker and WAY more trade value offered made my decision. GMC has a few options I much prefer over the Ford.

I am still wanting to build a 69. I’ve got a couple of ideas in mind and it’s just a matter of finding the right car. I’m not in a rush.

Been a little over a year, but still kinda new to me...
Found it listed online at a consignment dealer in Texas. Begged my wife for 2 months to go see it during the height of COVID. She finally gave in and we road tripped to Fort Worth. A few issues I had to deal with, but has been great since then.

I know it’s small but dang these were hard to find. These are for the ground studs that go in the back of the cylinder heads when you are installing a Holley Terminator X.

Yours is killer! This is an ‘03 with 22k miles. Original tires still. Smells new inside. New tires going on Monday…crazy hard to find the fronts. Only one making them still is Michelin, and they are about out of them.

Out of all the cars I've owned, it's my favorite. GM really nailed it. I like how snappy it is due to the low weight and lower gears. It's only 405 hp, but it's damn near as fast as my 69 Camaro with 666hp. My car has the Bridgestone RE1's I believe and they are sticky. I've launched it pretty hard and it sticks!

Just sold mine- gotta agree that it was a really good car. It drove GREAT, had good manners, and was just a well engineered car. I didn't keep it long, got it with 18k showing and flipped it at 19.5. I might just get a ZO6 though if I see the right one come along.

Yamaha inverter generator. This is the 2nd one we have had. Our 1st one had over 1000 hours on it. Compatible with sensitive electronics like computers and TV'S.

We do a lot of camping and it comes in handy if the power goes out, which happens a lot in Texas.

Thought I would share this.
To those of us who see some members exotic cars and wish they could afford one themselves, it's all in perception.
I flew down to Florida last Thanksgiving to pick this beauty up and drive it 1300 miles home. Took a buddy, and had a blast for a few days reconnecting.
This motorhome in 2011 went for more money than I spent building my house, so yes, this is my new "Ferrari " lol.
Hoping some future uses can be hauling my Firebird to the track to spend a weekend.

Not really a purchase but a gift from my parents. 1966 Black on black with a 440 instead of the original 383. I’ve got a set of 18” steel wheels that I plan to run with poverty caps and lower it just a bit. With a few tweaks it’ll be a great family car.
