Did you ever buy something, and after you bought it, it was way better than expected?

Sold at Sam's Club and Costco. The sweet corn is ok, but the cinnamon one is heavenly. So addictive you could eat the whole bag!

Good call. I've got a zebra light headlight that was recommended in one of the threads here that's been great.

I have a bunch of "Made in USA" Eddie Bauer "Polar Fleece" sweaters. They are about 25 years old and still going strong. Really well made and still look good.

I thought I posted this already. My Cut 50 Chinesium Plasma Cutter off of Amazon. It’s been great, every single time I use it. I have cut 1/2” plate with it no issues. It was cheaper than filling my oxy acetylene bottles.

All of my Porsches have fit this category too. Especially my Slant Nose.

I was out cutting firewood this morning and I was reminded of how much I like my Kubota 2320 tractor. One of the best purchases I have made - ever (definitely better than the vacuum cleaner I got MrsWD for Christmas that year).






The biggest drawback is it's light in the ass and the loader will lift enough to pull the rear end off the ground. I bought 3-point weights, but need more at times.

Yep. 2007 Range Rover Supercharged. Had 280,000 miles on the odometer when I paid $4,900 for it. Now at 318,000 & still running strong. Hasn’t even needed much. Way better than I expected.

My grandmother lived in Vegas and had a Geo Metro (bought new) she drove from her house to the casino for like 15 years (about a mile). Basically had 12000 miles on it. I dont think she ever took it on a freeway.

I had to tune it up when she passed and it went to my cousin. I think not breaking the thing in did more damage than running it hard. it needed a real go through to get it up to freeway speeds. fluids, cracked rubber parts, etc..

I think the 996 and Boxster are also better than people expect in terms of the IMS issue. I've changed quite a few IMS bearings and the only cars I ever saw with a impending or total failure were garage queens. The worst was on a 996 with only 24,000 miles. Tiptronic and totally babied. The owner said she never took it past 4K.

Eveything needs an italian tuneup from time to time.

What kind of a moron buys a used Land Rover?

I bought a 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE with 30,000 miles on it. Previous owner had it sitting dead in his front yard. A new battery and it was mine. Have not had a single problem with it - amazing vehicle with 7,800 lbs towing capacity when most SUV's only have around 3,000 lbs towing capacity. I love it more every time I drive it. Their bad reputation is not a reflection of this vehicle.
