Toronto real estate agent who paid 5 million for a case of 1979 O-Pee-Chee hockey cards at auction is now is having second thoughts. The interview is crazy. He also offered the case for free to a person he calls his soulmate. A girl he met in school when he was 7.
Looks like he is stalking/harassing that women.

This topic has come up before. Maybe an RSectomy? Which one of you live in Maple Ridge?

This has to be a super niche product, but $200k for a camper van... I would think you could buy a truck and a tear drop trailer for $200k.

Who's buying these things?

That's overlanding to the next level. It's for that individual who doesn't want to tow a trailer to Golden Ears where you have to drive on some gravel road.

Lot of yuppies go the van life ... this is quite bougey van life though.

That's an overlander designed for people who want to RV/camp off road. A lot of the market is seniors. Some overlanders can cost over a million dollars.

Iran started to send unmanned drones to Israel ... damn Netanyahu, this one is on you! Don't pull this 'Oh the world is against Israelites BS!' You brought the ire of the world on Israel.

Yeah, those overlanders are crazy now.

My dad was eyeing a 6x6 MAN built in Europe. Damn that thing was over the top. Even the pillows and blankets in there were Hermes one.

His words exactly: "with this thing, where you are going, you don't need roads"

But at 1.3M Euro, my mom was like... "you buy that thing, you go trailblaze yourself". :fuckthatshit:

Those big ones look cool and are great in places like Aus but it'd be pretty useless here. You're not going to fit down anything very far from the FSR that a Civic can go down lol.

Is it just me or is that a terrible layout layout for a camper van? All it has inside is a sink and fridge. Get a proper one with a toilet and stove and put a lift kit on it instead.

At 200k (not even including taxes) means you can stay in a hotel (assuming 200 bucks a night) for 1000 nights.

No friggin way this over landing crap is worth 1000 nights of hotel. I tried to get tiny to let me buy one of those 100k camper vans but in the end it just didn’t make sense financially.
Hotels were cheaper, more convenient and easier to find. Bringing your own water, disposing of it, finding a place you’re actually allowed to overland and all the maintenance of so many systems makes no sense.

I rather own a boat if that’s the case. At least the experience is different. This I can duplicate with a dodge caravan and a mattress in the back.

The Niki Lauda version of Gordon Murray's newest supercar masterpiece is a track-only special edition that ditches the necessary legal restrictions of the road car. That means it lacks catalytic converters, has much smaller exhaust silencers, and its exhaust pipes are closer together. Why are the exhausts closer together? Because Murray says it makes the engine sound like it has double the revs. I'm no mathematician but that would give the Cosworth-built, 12,100 rpm 3.9-liter V12 the sound of 24,200 revs at redline.
It sounds great.

But in that hotel you can't do a drone shot panning out from your little campfire to show the entire forest canopy behind some tacky free-use electronic music for your travel vlog on Youtube..

You can't compare the purchase price of the van to the hotel: you got tricked by Tiny!

It's Total Cost of Ownership = [cost of acquisition] - [resale value] + [cost of upkeep & maintenance]
-vs-
[cost of hotel] + [cost of transportation out to the hotel location]

Also think of all the ad revenue you'd make, generating thousands of videos like mikemhg's scene there.

Badhobz 04-14-2024 06:13 PM

She’s always trying to trick me !

Stupid tiny spy balloon mind tricks

Manic! 04-14-2024 08:17 PM

If you stay at a hotel you can't be one with nature.

Donut media was loaned one that cost 1.2 mill. It broke down and they had to call matts off road recovery to get it out.

It would be cool do do an African Safari in properly built overlander.

The depreciation on those things is nuts though lol.

Badhobz 04-15-2024 08:35 AM

its just like buying a boat. endless money pits...

I think it would be cheaper and easier if you just buy a sienna AWD hybrid, throw a mattress in the back + a solar shower + cassette toliet and then go nuts.

New app that can detect up to 10 STD's in under 60's with just a picture of someones junk.
https://www.calmara.ai/ The website is kind of funny.

So how do you feel about sending pictures of your junk to a 3rd party or your partner asking to take a pick of your junk?

underscore 04-15-2024 05:57 PM

It's free to go get checked for all of them without your junk ending up on some mystery server.

SkinnyPupp 04-15-2024 05:59 PM

Yeah if you have anything on your dick that can be detected by a camera, you should go to a doctor anyway lol

N.V.M. 04-15-2024 06:23 PM

there's 10 STD's? holy hell.

I think it's more for testing random hookups.
