Starting a "What did you Get today" thread. Let's give it a try (dont forget pics)

Bought a new to me car today. Picked up a 2005 Kia Sorento. 141,000 miles. Yeah it's 20 years old but being a southern car, it's not all rotted out. V6, 4wd, limited slip differential, 5 speed manual. Pretty good shape. Couple of minor things but mechanically fine. In the last two years, new A/T tires, brakes and rotors, clutch, and a/c serviced.

Just before that, traded into a CZ 452 22lr in immaculate condition.

If it’s anything like the similar year Hyundai Santa Fe make sure it has the valve cover alternator recall done. There was an issue where the valve cover could leak oil onto the alternator and cause electrical damage or a fire.

It'll be well insured lol.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into it. It has the 3.5l V-6. My son drove it yesterday to get it back to the house. Almost 90 miles. Mix of back roads and highway. No issues. I'll be going through it today and cleaning it and seeing if there's anything I need to do right away

The pre 2012 ones are way better vehicles than the later ones. The 3.5 is a solid engine. The post 2012’s with the 2.4 are dumpster fires because of that 2.4 GDI engine

I got projects today.

Camera Land had a presidents/valentines day sale.

Picked up an Athlon Argos BTR 10-40x56 with sunshade and throw lever

 

[PutnamCharlie]

Got a red dirt flat trigger for the staccato P. Sent the grip out for reduction and stippling so no installed pics yet.

Nice ! I love mine , it’s a tack driver. I traded with Gunner57 for it. He was a huge 410 fan / collector and I had a really nice Savage bolt action 410 that he wanted. He traded me a 452-2E new in the box for it .

And down the 2011 rabbit hole we go.

I love the pistol but the grip is a bit wide. Hopefully after the reduction it fits my hands better.

I’ve wanted one for a while now. I like them. My wife just got a BMW maybe she will buy me one. Nah.

 

[Saltwater60]

Oh just bought a CPO 2023 BMW x1 with 12,000 miles in it. Nice car and pretty fast. Black on black so I had it ceramic coated because I hate washing and detailing cars these days.

 

[Old Jalopy]

A new bore snake to replace the one I've had for 14 years. An Anderson ambi-safety. An Aero Oops Kit.

Did ceramic coat and expel. Granted it's a summer car but I only wash it once a year. A quick dust off and your good. Ceramic coat is the best thing ever.

Dealer did it and it was $1,199 for inside and outside. They stain treated all the carpets with a 7 year warranty and same for the paint damage. I didn’t think that price was bad either. I know it’s expensive. I have a lot of birds in my yard and we live close to the Niagara River so there are lots of sand flies. I don’t want to be bothered scrubbing them off

Of course, not gun related.

Got shoes. Can never have enough shoes.

You sound exactly like my wife.

I picked up my new to me 627.

 

[Glenn B]

Had the high bid on this yesterday. Llama Small frame 22 LR.

 

[Tisto]

Ordered Thursday, received Saturday... ( shout out to B&H Photo Video for being so awesome to deal with )

Kite Optics 16x42 image stabilized binoculars.

These things are pretty amazing. They take away all the shaking and allow you to see an image as if the binoculars were tripod mounted. The 16 power puts you right up close. While I don't think they have quite the light gathering ability of similarly powered binoculars, they produce a crystal clear image. I should probably put a disclaimer in here, I can't directly compare these to any other binoculars I own. The only other high powered set I own has 50mm objectives. I'm impressed so far.

Some new reading material

 

[Vapor]

Not much, but I want to shoot my lcp max more.
