    Is there a restaurant quality broiler I can get for home - steaks?

    Sous vide and a kamado grill (Big Green Egg). Or just skip the sous vide and use the grill. Granted this is not a fast process but it will produce amazing steaks.

    California to recognize 3rd Gender Type for ID

    My point was that someone has to pay for the updates to the documents and legacy systems in California to implement this change.

    California to recognize 3rd Gender Type for ID

    There is a cost associated with these decisions.. I work in medical device software and we have a pending task to add "Other" to our gender selection options. This means re-coding and testing several modules. That takes resources from some other feature we could be working on.

    1080 Ti? Wait for Vega? Curious what you guys think.

    I'll throw out my 2 cents. I just upgraded from a 1070 to a 1080TI. I have been playing Andromeda on 4K and wasn't happy with the performance. I figured I could wait for a Vega review, but it might not perform as well as a 1080TI, and every day that I wait my 1070 value decreases. I already sold...

    Charger owners?

    I would go with the Chevy SS or CTS VSport, just my 2 cents.

    GTX 1070 overclock, 85C OK?

    I just put a new system together and am trying the overclock utility for the first time. I'm not sure what is going on with the ASUS utility because it seems to be exceeding my boost clock by quite a bit. Do these values seem ok? Edit: Trying to get image to work...

    i7-860 to E5-1660 or E5-2670?

    Just a quick update... I ended up buying a T5810 workstation from Dell Outlet. (%30 off coupon) It has a E5-1650v3 (6 core 3.5ghz) I then ordered a GTX 1070 and just went a tad over my budget ($1500 total) I opted for a newer PC because I didn't realize there was a substantial socket change...

    i7-860 to E5-1660 or E5-2670?

    Thank you for getting back to me.. I am thinking now that for best longevity I should do another home built system around a X99 board and drop in either a 5820k or a E5-1620v4 (4 core). Basically the least expensive 2011 chips available now. Then later if I need more CPU power I could upgrade...

    Lexus RC F

    If you can stand a sedan supposedly the GS-F drives quite a bit better and only weighs <100lbs more. I briefly considered a RC-F but went with a Stingray for the performance.

    Basic Student Loan/Finance Questions. Overwhelmed

    18 month promotional period, $0 transfer fee, USAA. Yeah you have to watch the offers. A quick google shows a 0% 21 month Citi card. That would change the math a bit. Edit: Anyway I'm not necessarily advocating this. It works for my particular situation. It is just a option to consider.

    Basic Student Loan/Finance Questions. Overwhelmed

    I just transferred a 10K student loan to a 0% Credit Card... Depending on your situation you might be able to do something similar. Pay down as much as you can while in the 0% period and then either eat the CC interest or transfer the balance again. You might come out ahead even if you had to...

    Should I go Solar or not?

    I live in Washington State. We have a 7.2KW (30 panels) system installed using micro-inverters. It is great and covers ~%75 of our annual energy consumption (~9500kwh from solar). Because of some ridiculous incentives our payback time is right at 4 years. One year to go for us before the system...

    Is it ok to put deposit down for a new car?

    That sounds a bit crazy to me. I put $1k down to custom order a Corvette from GM. $4k on a Honda seems nuts.

    Elio motors. 3 wheeler car that promises 84 mpg and $6800

    I completely understand the difference with the Spyder and Slingshot. I had a Spyder for five years. They are definitely niche vehicles, but they are coming from a established manufacturer. I am sure that "someone" could build a Elio for $10k, but that is nearly 50% more then the target price...

    Elio motors. 3 wheeler car that promises 84 mpg and $6800

    That is pretty sobering article... I would love to see Elio succeed, however I don't feel that it is very likely. Take a look at vehicles you can buy for $6800... A few motorcycles... The least expensive automobile is a Versa for $11,900. So either Elio is building something much more...

    How are the c6 grand sports? *edit* got one

    I have 10K miles on a 2015 C7 with no issues yet. My understanding is that there were a few early issues fixed in production and C&D's C7 would have had all the problems since it was basically a pre-production car. GM is building 30K C7s a year and I think the reports of issues tend to get...

    Lotus Evora 400

    I like it. I think the 4C is great as well. Personally though I ended up with a C7 (Z51) I just couldn't see the value proposition for the imports.

    Sanity check? 2004 S600 $16k, XF supercharged $20k

    I bought a A6 2.7T (used ~60k miles).. That was the worst car mistake I ever made. I think I was $5K in maintenance the first year and I had a extended warranty. Never going the used German route again. So my recommendation would be CTS-V, or maybe a Pontiac G8 if you can get a hold of one...

    Gas furnace BTU- how much do I need for my home in NJ?

    I would try to get a modulating gas furnace and a communicating thermostat if that is a option. It will be a more efficient setup and a modulating furnace will give you some leeway in sizing it correctly. (They usually scale over at least 2x range, ie 50K - 100k btu)

    E92 m3 vs c7 z51

    I picked the C7. I have a Z51 A8 and I have put 6K miles on it since January. I just finished a 500+ mile road trip in it and averaged about 28mpg which includes several passing maneuvers. It is a amazing car and I find it very comfortable for long trips. The PDR is fun...

    Is BMW M3/M4 best car in price range?

    I don't understand a $1K per month lease. You could fully finance a new Stingray and still not be paying $1k per month and the MSRP is pretty close to the BMWs. So I don't see the BMWs as being very good buys. Usually there is better incentive for leasing. I would go with the ATS-V, Stingray...

    Sport car question

    Can you hold out for the 2016 Camaro? It will have most of the Corvette Stingray features. Otherwise I like the Mustang or Cayman S from your list. The Audi's are too heavy with a strong front weight bias. I assume the Stingray is too expensive?

    2015 Chevy SS Sedan opinions

    The MPG is going to be pretty crappy, no cylinder deactivation with the LS3. The 2016 Camaro is going to be a major upgrade. That being said I like the SS and wish Chevy would market it better. If you could live without automatic and stretch the budget A CTS-V Sport would be sweet.

    Hotwire "Ford Mustang Convertible" or similar

    I don't want to ruin your day, but... The base model V6 automatic Mustang or Camaro that you will most likely end up with is not going to be that exciting dynamically. They put tall gears in those cars for fuel economy and the automatic transmission sucks some life out of them. It isn't going to...
