1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

If this is what it claims to be there is a possibility of it getting into high 6 digits I think. Hard to say, really rare to see an Apple one of any kind in the wild but especially rare to see one with a monitor and a professional case.

 

Right? I still don't see why it would crack 7 digits. Some more info on the registry, and looks like he tried eBay once before in 2019.

Still cool to see one pop up. (I was looking at some M51XX Portables and Compaq luggables and stumbled across it)

 

I think the issue is there isn't any regularity to their sales, they hardly ever pop up at all. So it might not generate any traction. Have any interest in an IBM PS/2 Model 25 Color?

 

Very true.
I don't know much about that IBM but they look cool. Are you getting rid of some stuff?

 

I'm always thinking of downsizing the computer collection, I can't think of anything creative to do with them for display and I feel bad just stuffing them on shelves in the basement. That 25 is a rare bird too, I have the proprietary harddrive for it and the full 640k memory upgrade.

 

That makes sense. Space is my issue which is why I've been looking at smaller stuff since I started over, but still often hard to justify when they end up on a rolling rack or something. I don't want to put stuff in a storage unit again, it just isn't right.

 

I mean anything to not have a third gen I guess. Still though lets reserve the high prices for the good 2nd gens, post 2009 when they sorted the timing chain, head gasket, engine mount issues out.

 

The truck market is fucking insane.

If I wanted to downsize the F350 i couldn't buy much nicer for the same price so i will sit and spin

 

Yeah I'm really glad I don't need a fullsize, especially diesel. I fucking hate working on diesels and the parts and labor costs on them are insane too.

 

Man what cheap fucks option 5 series when they buy them, they almost never have the sport seats (which are way more comfy and adjustable). I mean for crying out loud this is a 535xi Gran Turismo Touring and it still has the fucking dogshit seats that come in the broke dick 528i base model.

 

What! that's crazy! It looks like its still a rumor.

 

I'm mostly in my over thinking phase.

I'm not even opposed to dailying the 350 again, i have been stuck at home for the most part of the last couple months so a couple short trips a week won't be killing it any time soon.

It would be nice to get to one daily and one wheeler. Or maybe a daily I can wheel. I'm not sure what the fuck I want in life. Might sell all the off-road toys and rebuy in a year or two lmao

 

I've learned rebuying down the road costs a ton more. Unless you're entirely unhappy with what you currently have.

 

i am pretty content

Just min/maxing my way into more pain

 

My head says:
A truck for utility purposes, (though if I were actually being honest with myself a van would be better. Hell a Mercedes Metris would work perfectly)
A wagon for daily and long trips.
Something small and quick for funs when I want.
*My wallet currently says I could keep the Tacoma at no extra cost and make a wagon fun enough but also good for daily and trips.

 

@Wulf found you a new set of tires.

 

perfect

 

Yeah I've seen that before. It is nice to run and thaw a car off when you get home, but I also know that the heat can increase the formation of rust if you've got winter mix clinging to your truck. My t-stat bottoms out at 50* so I can't turn it off without throwing the breaker, which is too much work.

 

Yeah I thaw something out if I'm going to work on it, that's about it. Otherwise I just have the heater on while working, eventually it gets warm enough to cycle on and off which is nice.
