Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Bummer, that's Apple-speak for you have not given us enough money lately. Please buy a new machine immediately.
It’s 7 years old, the battery and charger are originals. It’s allowed to be cranky I think. Plus it’s the last Intel machine Apple made and I’ve been weighing wether to get a used Apple silicon or heaven forbid a windows laptop(not my first choice there)
 
Good color choice. Especially the metallic choice. My last four cars were/are Burgundy Metallic, Ocean Blue Metallic, Black Metallic, and Seal Grey Metallic. A nice dark blue metallic is hard to beat for a car color.
Ford blue jeans is the best dark metallic blue in my lightly humble opinion

It's supposed to be fully restored. The Gremlins actually ran pretty well so it should.
A friend of mine in public high school grandmother had one, he’d take it and do doughnuts with it smoking the tires.
 
There made by Americans !
Yeah…still no thank you . Never thought very highly of Dell . I’ve only personally owned Macs in any case. We’ll see. I’m in research mode right now, but if I see a deal I can’t refuse…

I did donuts a lot (mainly Krispy Kreme) but they were usually after smoking something else. Never tried smoking tires, sounds kind of yucky.

Doritos for me or chocolate chip cookies for sweet stuff after the something else.

Dell's have come a very long way. They are my first choice in Windows machines for value and reliability. I won't even set up or work on any HP consumer gear any longer. If your a Mac person, you are not likely to like a PC anything.

You probably won’t find a deal from them direct but check out Best Buy’s they will occasionally have them

I actually rarely do sweets. I'd hit Jack in the Box or Denny's or anyplace else that was open that served protein. Even as a young person my snacks were things like cherry tomatoes, green onions, olives, pickles, beets, etc. It took my wife a long time to get used to the idea that when she would ask me if I'd like a snack I would say something like 'Sure, can you bring me a dozen olives?' My weakness though is Carrot Cake. I love a good Carrot Cake.

I definitely agree on the carrot cake. And I remember hitting BK or McD when craving.

Now don’t get me wrong, no one does top notch engineering like Yugoslavia, not Japan, Germany, Italy or the US but if I could get that Gremlin and this Pacer it would complete my classic muscle car collection. The Pontiac Aztec almost made the list but let’s face it, it’s ugly.
