Recently sold my C8 Stingray and have a few parts left over:
Sigala Designs Z07-style wing (gloss black)
Soler Performance plug-and-play throttle controller
Corvette battery tender
Wheel spacers
Red jack pads / lift pucks
Over $2,000 in value, asking $700 for everything.
Located in the Tampa Bay area. Shoot me a message if interested!

Ended up going with an M4 Competition xDrive Convertible instead, so I can still enjoy those top-down beach drives with the whole family.
Definitely miss the C8 and that V8 sound, but loving the M4 so far. Thanks to everyone who helped me make the decision!

I just had a newborn, and even though we have a second truck, I barely drive the Vette anymore. I absolutely love the C8 and I know I’m going to miss the V8 sound and that mid engine car feel, but the M3 seems like a really good balance of performance, fun, and actually being able to use it with the baby.

For anyone who went from a C8, or something similar, to an M3 Competition xDrive, how was the experience? Do you still enjoy driving the M3 as much, or did you end up missing the sports car experience more than you expected?

Not expecting the M3 to feel exactly like the Vette, just trying to figure out if it still feels special and fun enough that I won’t regret the switch.

The Spectre 9 took the Bog to the next level. First range trip suppressed, 200 rounds in.

First range day with the Bog and the Spectre 9! My Form 4 was approved in just two days, and the Bog is even more fun suppressed. Put 200 rounds through it and still didn’t want to stop.

I shot it suppressed for the first time. My Spectre 9 was approved only two days after submitting the forms, and I put 200 rounds through it suppressed. I honestly didn’t want to stop shooting.

I recently picked up a SilencerCo Spectre 9 for my Grand Power SP9A3S I was planning to use the SilencerCo Alpha Direct Thread mount, but it seems to be out of stock everywhere.
Has anyone here used an aftermarket direct-thread mount with the Spectre 9? I’m looking at the KVP MACH 1/2x28 adapter since it uses the Alpha (1-1/8x28) thread pattern.
Any experience with it, or are there other direct-thread options you’d recommend?

I’ve spent over 15 years in software development, working with hundreds of developers and contributing to hundreds of products. I’m also a natural bodybuilder, and throughout my fitness journey, I’ve tried just about every fitness, nutrition, and workout app on the market.

The problem was that I always found myself jumping between multiple apps for nutrition, workouts, progress tracking, and guidance. Nothing truly worked together as one complete system.

So 3 years ago, I decided to build the app I wished existed.

There were a lot of late nights, early mornings, challenges, setbacks, and sacrifices along the way. What kept me going was my mission: to build something that genuinely helps people get healthier and contribute to making the world a healthier place by putting all the tools, guidance, and support someone needs in one place.

So I built Calorii.

A — Answer:

Calorii is designed to act like a personal fitness coach. It helps to track calories, create personalized meal plans and workouts based on your goals, preferences, and lifestyle. It can track your progress, analyze your pictures, and help guide you every step of the way.

B — Better:

I didn't want to build another calorie tracker.

Most fitness apps give you tools and expect you to figure everything out yourself. You still have to decide what to eat, how much to eat, what workout to do, and what to change when progress slows down.

My goal was to remove as much guesswork as possible.

Calorii helps create your meals, build your workouts, track your progress, provide feedback, and adapt along the way. Instead of needing multiple apps, everything works together in one place.

C — Cost:

Most of the app is completely free, including calorie tracking, a large food database, barcode scanning, workout plans, workout logging, and a lot more.

The only paid features are some of the advanced AI features because there are real AI costs involved. Monthly Subscription is $9.99 and Yearly subscription is $49.99.

I also made a decision early on that I wouldn't fill the app with ads or sell user data. I'd rather build something people genuinely love and trust.

I'm the founder and developer, so if you have any questions, feedback, criticism, or ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Just picked up my first Stribog SP9A3S and I’m loving it so far! It’s going to be my primary home defense PCC.
So far I’ve added:
Holosun HS510C
Vertical foregrip
Next up are a weapon light and a suppressor. Right now I’m looking at the HUXWRX Flow 9K Ti, BANISH 9K, Rugged Obsidian 9, and YHM R9.
What suppressor are you running on your SP9A3S, and what would you recommend? Any other must-have upgrades?

I spend most of my day in this office. One thing I always struggled with was creating a balance between work and everything else. When I worked from home, it was easy for the two to blend together.

Now, when the lights come on and I sit at this desk, I'm focused on work. When the lights go off and the door closes, work stays here and it's time to be present elsewhere.

Currently working on my 3rd app.

What's your setup look like?

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that consistency beats perfection every single time. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to keep showing up, especially on the days when it’s hard.

There were days I felt motivated and days I didn’t. Days I saw progress and days I felt stuck. The difference wasn’t talent, genetics, or some secret formula. It was simply refusing to give up.

Fitness changed my life. It gave me confidence, discipline, better health, and opportunities I never imagined possible.

Wherever you are on your journey, keep going. Keep believing in yourself. You got this!!
