Pics of new couch? Don't worry, I'm not JD Vance.

I think it's this one

Fancy! Is it "sdifox twins"-proof?

Hopefully. They trashed the last leather couch from the same manufacturer, including markers, punctures with whatever they used.

They are 11 now so hopefully listen better.

A brand new Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck.

Brand new to me... it's a 2012. Paid 5k. I had another deal on the go for 7k but guy ghosted me so found this one.

Not 100% finalized yet, still need to do all the paperwork and such, but they dropped it off for me so it's at least in my driveway now. I will try to see if I can get like 1k for my current one as-is. I'll ask 3k and see where it gets me. Tires alone were like $2500 or something only a few years ago. I had hoped to keep this truck longer but the rust made it beyond economical repair.

I need to sign up for an aggressive driving course now, pretty sure that's mandatory as a RAM owner.

How many miles/km? Closest I can find on Autotrader in the US is a 2010 with almost 300,000 miles for $6k. I'd love a decent truck, but prices are just stupid.

Yeah prices are nuts, this was basically the best I could do, was hoping to buy something a little newer but was just not finding anything without paying through the nose. This one has a bit over 200,000km. it's kinda a lot but I find the rust is what tends to get you before the engine does and this one is not too terrible given the year. Surface and fenders a bit and one side the rocker panels are kinda bad, but that's to be expected.

I had actually thought of leasing something for like 4-5 years until I can afford new, but even leasing is very expensive, it would cost me over 10k over several years. I can't really swallow the idea of putting 10k on something I don't even own.

My first lab class is tomorrow. Just worked it out with tuition and fees, but not my time, the aspirin I'll be making will cost me $76.20 per gram assuming I get a high yield.

With my time, it's... more.

My current lens is older and manual focus doesn't really work (auto-focus motor is fine though)
