What's your latest "impulse buy" . . . . . ?

[WeaponizedMRE]

Made a 1/2 price offer and it was accepted.
It has a few problems, might cost me a grand to fix.

Don't go down the rabbit hole of trying to fix the turn signals on a BMW, they never work on BMWs.

Doesn't this mean you need to turn into and AH now? Soooo many Bimmer drivers seem to have the AH going on.

I dunno Mike, all my ex partners think I'm a major AH. Wife says the car "fits" me. Maybe she's telling me sumpin'.
The CIC is bad and a front CV joint needs replacement.

While not a gun, I did manage to find something I have been eyeballin for a while now.
I have wanted a KA-BAR-esque fixed blade knife.

While at the Expo Center Swap Meet this weekend we were walking by a vendor near closing time and he had a case of knives on display.
I was looking them over and have always liked the stacked leather handles and asked to see this one.
I looked it over and then a couple others.

The vendor saw that I liked this one and offered to take $5 off the already low price of $35.
So now I own a Parkerized version PAL RH -36 and its respective sheath.

From what I have seen on the internets it is a late WW2 era knife.

Love it! I have the exact same knife. I used to carry it for hunting every year.

Bought another dirt bike.
This time its a 1981 Yamaha IT175.

Pics?


Not quite an impulse buy as I'd been keeping my eyes open for a newer bike, then one Saturday...
By the time lunch had rolled around I'd made my decision.
2022 YZ250F The Honda behind it is what I traded in.

Got to pick up my impulse buys from last week (4 day wait for approval on both of these). Bonus pic of the rugged mounted to my AKV

How do you like that AKV? I'm wanting to pick one up if I ever find myself outside of WA or it's asinine laws ever get overturned.

I love it, especially suppressed. It doesn't like some of my 147gr Winchester winclean but its pretty weak ammo anyway but my other 147gr ammo and my subsonic handloads cycle fine.

This was certainly impulse as we did not set out to buy. We were going up north to a dealer to look at a vehicle and have lunch. Driving by a place close to home spotted a car I wanted to look at. Was not what I wanted but sales guy had this. The one good thing about the current POTUS is with him keeping gas at all time highs there is a LOT of these floating around now they can't sell. When gas was a $1.50 a gallon few years ago you did NOT see them having trouble selling these. Since it was Wife's birthday I offered to buy it for her
In all fairness this gift she actually likes unlike so many of the guns I bought her that she seems to show little to no interest in.

That is for sure a nice bike!
I am just getting back into them and have a soft spot for the vintage bikes.
Plus they turn up cheap as I am just a trail / play rider these days.

It turns out this is actually a 1981 IT125 that has been converted to a 175 engine with the appropriate piston / jug / head combo.
We got it to fire up and smoke a bunch, so it was worth every bit of the $250 I gave for it.

Soon it will get a new seat cover as well as the carb cleaned up and a fresh set of reeds.

The PO said it ran last year for his kid, so it should be fun to bring some life back into.

Who TF impulse buys a freakin beamer??

beamers are motorcycles..

bimmers are cars..



<--bmw nerd

Also..little known fact, the turn signals really do work, but the cup holders sucked until fairly recently. bmw had a longstanding belief that people shouldn't be drinking while driving

 

[Indy62]

I impulse bought this three years ago..




Then impulse sold it two months ago

I bought a bag of 100 new 25-06 brass cases in Lakeview, Or.

 

[WeaponizedMRE]

I found an 8lb jug of reloader 26 in stock in a local shop I happened to go into today, so that came home with me.

Impulse alert...

I took the Taurus TX22 and the Walther PPQ this morning to Threat Dynamics. Both are reliable with 450 rounds total. The TX22 stove piped only twice and the PPQ 0. But of course I fired more shots with the TX22 for I have 7-16 round magazines vs 4-12 round. It feels like I'm already one with the TX-22 but I have to give the accuracy and more power to the Walther. Grouping on a 22 yard with the stock sights can easily be achieve. That is something the TX-22 cant do with my hands. Just like what @ilikegunspdx I will have to look for a matched made in heaven red dot or scope for the Walther. It definitely deserves one.
