I really, really like those JL Rubicons. They're just so not the right vehicle for me.

Used these today for the first time. Definitely more isolating than AirPods (that's both good and bad); and they have better sound quality for my ears... If only because they seal much better.

Another thing I can confirm is you can use just one. This is how I use my AirPods the majority of the time since I'm usually using them as a hands-free headset for my phone, and listening to spoken word (podcasts or audio books).

I think they even look better while wearing because they're not little white rods protruding from the bottom of your ear.

The only negative I've found so far is the case is wayyyy larger than AirPods. I usually keep my AirPods case in my pocket while wearing them. That isn't realistic with the Beats.

just wanted to show you guys how these turned out for those interested. these are actually high quality organizers. very sturdy and strong. I don't think they'll break unless you really yank the sockets out wrong. easy to read and clearly labeled

Do they have a spot for the missing 10mm socket or did they just not bother?

so far I have yet had that problem with losing the 10mm like most people. i'm pretty organized and I always put my tools back where they suppose to belong.

Umm, yea. Except on a temporary basis; my condo association doesn't allow us to park pickup trucks on the property. They won't issue you a parking sticker if the vehicle is registered as a pickup (or motorcycle). Those are registered as a pickup, correct?

Good luck with the new ride!

I have only seen one once in my life and it was very expensive and I haven't been able to find one in years. Its going to sit on my bench in the garage right next to my real one.

bought this at the local MarketPlace here in town that they have every week and they had 3 variations of color to choose from. from dark bronze to light. according to the owners they said the darker it is the more maple flavor it has. tried their samples and it was amazing. gonna make some pancakes this week for the fam bam and see how the boys like it

Last Christmas a friend bought me a sampler with the different color. It's like beer... darker has more intense flavor. I believe most is "medium amber."

Real maple syrup can be expensive, but Costco has a good price on the stuff.

Once people taste the difference they ruin themselves to the fake shit. Then they become people like me that bring their own syrup when going out for breakfast.

Picked this up Saturday last week. After selling my 2016 330D to buy a X3 20D, which was a massive mistake I could not wait to get back into something more fun to drive.

2016 F36 435D xDrive with loads of toys (surround view, HUD, rear heated seats) and man is it fun to drive!
