Catching up after several weeks of the worst cold ever, so I'm way behind. When I saw the posts about the most beautiful BMW, I originally thought of the early '70s 3.0CS. So yes, I totally agree with Mr. Rick. Pic of a '71.
This is the one I see in the neighborhood from time to time.

So now the question is, does it makes sense to consolidate the Freya S and Vidar OG to a Ragnarok? I'm thinking it is a no, but contemplating it.

No. It does make sense to add the Ragnarok to your collection, though.

Ragnarok for $1k, you say?
Well it’s not like I really needed the last few pieces of Schiit I’ve bought either.
Damn.

I would respectfully disagree with “no car is built well these days”. Toyota and Lexus quality is superlative. Quality for reliability the LONG haul. I was into VW’s and Audis for almost 30 years, but, we got our first Toyota (Sienna Minivan) in 2004 as wiMy wife and I will be shopping for a new car this summer (we've been recently having to make do with cheap/used/barely reliable for all the years she was running through grad school to become a licensed therapist) and I've always been keen on the idea of leasing a new car that is always under warranty. No car is built well these days and I hate constant repair bills just to keep an older car running.
I know I'll pay a little more up front each month for the pleasure and relative peace of mind of a new warrantied car but that will be a fixed number worked into the budget instead of the random and potentially prohibitively high cost of random repair surprises. I dislike those.

Despite LIVING every day year-round in Massachusetts (salt on roads, etc.), we got 15 years and 240K miles out of it with NOTHING to repair other than normal wear/tear items. As in NOTHING.

Just one…?Aside: literally. There’s a shelf of in-process and kinda-sorta-dead prototypes in the tech lab.
Wait, I'm moving? Crap, I better get packing, then…Hmmm... Armchair Philosopher also moving there. Coincidence?
But yes, it is a coincidence. I picked my next town months before I first heard of Schiit's plans to relocate. I'm not angry about it, though!

13.1” (Starsplitter? Discovery? I don’t think Obsession makes em in that size? Teeter? Curious!)Schiit 'n' 'scopes in the same forum?? <swoons>
Here's my custom-made dob with a 13.1" mirror. It's about 23 years old now and still going strong. I'll be taking possession of a similar-ish 18" telescope (along with 4 other telescopes of different designs later this year, 3 of which I'll pick up in June), but that one will have full automation and sky tracking.
In my office I’ve my “work Schiit stack” and my AP130GT, my Celestron C11, and my 10” Zambuto mirrored dob… couldn’t agree with your sentiment more.

I think I'm getting pretty good at this 'cat body language' thing.
