The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

[blotsfan]

Not to jinx it but...

Welp, I'm engaged.

 

[Bubble181]

My condolences. Or congratulations, feel free to pick which you feel suits best.

 

[@Li3n]

Welp, I'm engaged.

Damn, and i though 2020 was putting a real damper on our freedom of movement...

 

[Cheesy1]

After three and a half years of saving up, I finally was able to fully buy my first all new car.

A 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid.

 

[PatrThom]

So sparkly!

Too bad you got saddled with those off-brand Atoyot windows, though.

Good on you! It's such a great feeling, ain't it?

 

[sixpackshaker]

Nice choice.

 

[GasBandit]

Looks good! I've been considering buying a Corolla myself. Very nice.

 

[Dave]

Very jelly.

 

[DarkAudit]

Everyone eventually has a Corolla in their car timeline. I learned to drive in one.

 

[bhamv3]

I like the color, gives it a nice and dignified look.

 

[Dirona]

My first car was a Carolla that was the same age as me. It lasted through moving across 3 provinces, over about 11 years. It was a very solid vehicle.

 

[Celt Z]

My first car was/is a Corolla and we're still driving it! I had to wait until I was 28 to get my first car, but still.

 

[Squidleybits]

We have one now and it’s been great! You can’t go wrong with Toyota.

 

[Bubble181]

My first car was not a Corolla, but the smaller cousin the Micra.
Still liked driving it until I totaled it he was about twenty years old at the time, though

That's a sweet looking ride.

Is that a car from the future, or did the manufacturer just decided 2020 was bad mojo and skipped it like the 13th floor?

Car model years tend to "roll over" in the Fall as the manufacturers wind down and tool up for the next year's revisions. This means it's possible to buy N+1's model year as early as the end of year N.

Typically, in the US, the “next” year model cars come out in October or so. So it’s not unusual to see, for example, a 2020 year model sitting next to a 2021 year model near the end of the year.

 

[Cheesy1]

Well, this has been an eventful week for me.

Every year my company holds a prize raffle during our Christmas party. Various items are given away, with one large "Grand Prize" given out to a randomly picked employee at the end.
Guess who won that prize this year?

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Welp, movie night is at Cheesy's place, I guess!

 

[bhamv3]

Seconded. I propose we start with a Star Wars marathon, but we only watch the good Star Wars movies.

 

[PatrThom]

Seconded. I propose we start with a Star Wars marathon, but we only watch the good Star Wars movies.

By "good," do you mean the ones that are well-done?

--Patrick

No no no. This is a massive 4K TV, man. It deserves nothing short of the most ground breaking special effects, jaw dropping cinematography, eardrum shattering sound, and awe inducing story.

The first movie HAS to be Killer Klowns From Outer Space.

 

[sixpackshaker]

By "good," do you mean the ones that are well-done?

--Patrick

Those are quite rare.

 

[Sparhawk]

Lord of the Rings Extended edition marathon to start!

 

[Squidleybits]

That’s awesome!

 

[Dave]

That's great, @Cheesy1 ! I, personally, would have hated to win it. I have absolutely 0 idea where I'd have put it. It just wouldn't fit anywhere in my tiny house.

That's actually my current conundrum. I have no place to put this thing. My parents might replace their current TV that's about the same size with it, but then there's what to do with the old one.

 

[blotsfan]

I mean, I know I said 85 inches, but I can settle...

 

[Terrik]

I finally got my chance in this COVID-infested semester to do my first composite restoration!


Pre-OP:

Post-Op:

The first of thousands to come.

 

[GasBandit]

That just looks OUCHY

But those lips really pink.

 

[Dei]

That looks like a HIPAA violation.

 

[CrimsonSoul]

Y'all can officially call me Nurse Ratched now!

 

[blotsfan]

Got a king size bed. I suspect the dog will still find a way to take up most of if, but it at least is a memory foam mattress so that's a win anyways.
