I love this so much! I might reverse the intermediate and pro, though, because those diamond rings likely cost more total than many of the colored stone rings !

Haha! Very true! (Well, except that I pay for my jewelry and hubs pays for his Jeep parts.)

 

[whitewave]

Put the pic where you can’t even see the fingers lol. That was my favorite.

 

[ohsomethingshiny]

How you know you’ve been on PS too long...

“CvB setting in the works for my new upgrade! CADs should be in by the end of the week. Going with a double halo this time to give that additional finger coverage.”

 

[Luce]

Ha ha, love this!

[marcy]

This is great!

 

[LightBright]

Seriously. So true.

 

[CHRISTY-DANIELLE]

Very true...I started on PS because I liked jewelry, liked looking at jewelry. ..but now I just want to buy jewelry. I could have worse habits, but I'm not sure my hubby would agree! :roll

 

[McGinnis]

I laughed and laughed lol My hubby looked over right as I scrolled past the empty pockets and he snorted

 

[sledge]

Hmmm...sounds like your hubs and I would get along pretty well. Does he have a Rubi? If not, have you heard terms like gear swap, air lockers, Dana44 front axle swap, snorkels, custom roll cages, body armor, suspension lift, body lift, etc.

God I miss mine so much.....such a way of life....

What on earth is that thing for Admin? That is weird! lol

It's secret admin jewelry, duh.

I have no idea. I'm a guy that wants a simple plain band. You ladies have like 10 bazillion rings that blind poor squirrels as they are trying to collect their nuts.

When I saw that, it just screamed someone in charge -- hence the admin. Wish I could have found it the same way but in diamonds, lol.

Actually, I started the Jeep thing for us. I’ve co-owned two project CJs with my late husband he bought for hunting and then I owned a new JK in 2015. Current hubs loved my JK so bought a new one himself a few month later. He was all about the mods and lifts with that one. He sold it for a truck. That was until the JLs came out. Now he’s got a new toy that he’s starting on...

 

[chanieish]

Haha! Too funny!!

And it’s true!!! Before PS a few months ago: I’ll be happy with a 1-1.5ct oval!

After 1 month of PS: actually let’s make that a 2 ct oval in the best cut possible! Let me filter by depth/table

Today: Finalizing purchase on a 2.41 ct crafted by Infinity round!!!

Yeesh. My boyfriend has the patience of a saint. Every option got more expensive too

 

[ohsomethingshiny]

I showed this thread to the hubs and his exact words were, “Time for you to get off PS.” LOL! I’m at the intermediate level and I think he’s scared of what’s to come.

@ohsomethingshiny and my other weakness is cars... my suv is 3 years old, about the time I start thinking about a new ride. ..and that new jeep is just what I'm thinking about! My son has a jeep and its so fun to drive!

Oh, I am such a car freak too! The new JL is definitely worth checking out. The redesign is awesome!

This was my personal favorite that I owned. Bought her straight off the showroom floor! Man, was she a wild ride.

 

[yennyfire]

Priceless! Well, maybe not...just a few million or so!!

Wow, you are too cool! I've been teter totting between 4x4 offroad toys and muscle cars my entire life. I've concluded I should have a garage full like Jay Leno!

As you know mine was a TJ. Once met a chick back that owned a CJ with a 350. She was so hot. The girl was too, lol.

I've wanted to do a CJ project for years. Also toyed with an early Bronco and Scout II project but always seem to miss them. Last one was a few weeks ago, $450 for a Scout II project!

I mostly prefer Mopar muscle and pick on Ford owners, lol. But that pic of you with the Shelby GT500 is glorious! The 67 is my unicorn that I will own if I can find one for less than $160k, substantially less. Well maybe that and an early Bronco.

Was your newer Shelby auto or stick shift? Best time in the 1320? How many tires did you replace from burnouts? Once dated a girl that got excited by burnt tire rubber and the gas smell from carberatored engines. Add some lope and she was crazy. We went to the drags often.

Tell your husband he needs more mods for the JL. 6" suspension, black wheels, 35 or 37 mud tires, complete rock gear, Warn winch and for the love of God lose the top and doors.

 

[MissGotRocks]

This is just perfect - I think this will be a PS favorite for years to come!!!

 

[ohsomethingshiny]

@sledge I was a wrench turner in the Army (63-B) and wished I had learned more to be able to restore a 67 on my own. That would have been a dream for sure!!

As for the Snake (500GT), she was a six-speed. Couldn’t have all that HP with an automatic. That’d be a waste to me. Had dark tinted windows on her. Would love the look on people’s faces when a 5’ 3” 100 pound girl would get out of her. I wasn’t what they expected to see. You know what I loved most? Downshifting! That throaty moan. Best sound in the world. Like knowing you were in control of a beast.
