The New Car Fanatic Thread
I've used XPEL and Avery with really good results. XPEL is a little thicker and provides better protection, and Avery blends into the paint better. Stay away from the 3M family of PPFs. For black paint, Zaino. It's a multi step process but worth the time on black paint. For everything else, I like Optimum Car Wax because it can be applied to the entire car (paint, glass, plastic) and doesn't leave any white residue.

Are there any good portable air compressors at all?
Another vote for Viair. I have a 77P, it's powered by a 12v socket and has been reliable for the last few years.

Homemade Pizza - Tips, Tricks, Recipes...
Yep, plate setter is a must. I add my extended rack on top of that, and the pizza stone on top of the rack. I still like my baking steel better, but in the summer time I go with my bge.

Homemade Pizza - Tips, Tricks, Recipes...
If you've made/bought a rack extender for your egg, use it with the stone. You want the pizza as high as possible. I like my BGE around 400-450 for pizza. If I cook higher than that, then the bottom burns before the top is finished.

These are some old pictures I took at the Larry H Miller Museum. Really cool place to go if you're in the Salt Lake city area.

Car Stereo Upgrade Recs
Not sure how far from you Affordable Audio is but it might be worth some time to give him a call. Whoever you go with, see if they think 6.5" components can be fitted in the front. You'll have a lot more options vs 5x7s. If you have to go with 5x7s, I like the Pioneer TS-D6802R but most shops have a demo board where you can listen to different speakers. Bring whatever music you listen to and test them all. Since you aren't looking for a sub, a 4 channel amp/install and some sound deadening should eat up the rest of the budget. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

Nice wheel/tire combo, Anton. My wheel choice was between those and the trail team wheels. Went with the latter and KO2s.

All I know is no two injuries are the same. Until Pop or Kawhi says he's out, I'm still going with him staying in a Spurs jersey.

2017-18 Spurs Thread: Probably no buckets for Kawhi
I'm hoping it's just a case of the tests showing he's fine but his body saying something's still not right. He still has good years ahead and there's no reason to fuck that up by coming back at anything less than 100%. Or maybe he really wants to be a doctor.

Car Stereo Upgrade Recs
What's a realistic budget for the rest of your system? Do you have to have speakers in the rear doors? I'm running a 3-way (high/mid/sub) setup in my truck with a 5 channel Arc XDi amplifier but have also used a JL Audio HD900/5. Both are small amplifiers that run cool with some airflow. I have 5x7s in my mustang and have been told that some of the 6.5" components can be fitted with a little trimming of the doors. And don't forget about insulating the doors (at the very least), even cheap speakers can sound decent with a proper installation.
