What's the last thing you purchased?

I wanted the Elantra because 90+ out of every 100km I drive is on the highway and my next big trip is going to be a 3000km run to Regina. The tires that came with the car are 'meh', but otherwise it just glides along. Not having gears takes some getting used to, but that CVT is getting me some absolutely stellar fuel economy - I'm averaging 5.5L/100km if I don't use cruise control (6-ish if I do).

Yeah the tires were my only complaint. I replaced the OEM tires at 15,000 miles. No traction in the rain, never mind the snow :D


Replaced with these. They are quieter, I get the same gas mileage, but amazing traction in the rain and snow. Highly recommended.

Yes, the yard needs a lot of TLC. I only just took possession two days ago.
 
Well my old (almost 20 years) and cheap fabric office chair's recline tension spring popped over the summer after a tip over and have been perching on it til all the sales going on now. Seems like all the cheap chairs at the usual places are either mesh (have cat, no go) or that fake leather that seems to flake away around the 3-4yr mark leaving some ugly gray patches or worse cracks that require duck tape. Since like 5 folk here have this chair and driving downtown for some serious test sitting at a showroom I splurged and got the below (yes I chose a white colored chair cause for how much I spent, I wanted it to be bold):

Ryzen 5600X, going from a 2600. My 980ti will probably be pretty limiting, but on the other hand I still don't have much time for gaming. Some day. When the kids are both 18+ I suppose :bleh:

It gets better when they can play games, too. But that's also more money. 13 and 10 here, and they're both loving the free Hogwarts Legacy they got on their Epic accounts in December.
