I came home to a box in front of my door

A General Discussion forum for cars and other topics, and a great place to introduce yourself if you are new to NICO!

You know the feeling... you've been ordering some stuff, and losing track of what's coming in.

I come home, see a box that I didn't remember ordering and thought "hmmmm". I look at the label, and its from Noah!

ITS A BOX FULL OF AWESOME BEER!!! (I picture myself saying that like the dude from MANswers)

I let it chill in the fridge for a while while I work on the Miata, then fetched my trusty bottle opener that I bought off some classy homeless dude/street vendor in Dresden, Germany. She's been faithful. It busted a few years ago, but my (now ex) girlfriend did an AWESOME repair job on it. We've been through a lot together...

Glass... chilled.

Beer, chilled

poured to perfection LOOK AT THAT HEAD!

It was glorious. That is all.

Free Beer is good beer. Good free beer might just break space-time.

Yeah dude I already drank it. I wish you could see the time stamps on those pics... they were all taken in like, under a minute. Speed photoshoot ftw.

I'm glad you enjoy it. Sorry you live in a beerless state of 5% ABV.

Still cold! There was actually still ice in the box. I doubt it was sub-zero, but whatever.

Omaha Steaks FTW! The best part is the giant piece of dry ice you get to play with at the bottom of the box. Their food is great too.

That's some quick camera work!

How do you like the D60? I was looking at a couple of them used.

I like it a lot, but was thinking of stepping up to something that takes video, and possibly has more mega pixels. Interested in buying mine? ;)

A dark wheat beer. Looks delicious! You don't see that around here too often.

Have they improved the picture quality of those dual purpose units? Last I checked one or the other lost quality compared to two separate units.

Yes and no. They still aren't "optimal" for video, but they have come a long way. Hell, when they first came out, you had to manually focus the whole time (or so I'm told).
