    Dropping the "capital cost" down payment from $3,200 to $1,200 to move this a little quicker.

    Hell of a lot of fun in a great package. I got to zip around Europe in one last year.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    They quote the "monthly" but don't tell you that's calculated with 15% down, cash. My $70,000 M4 with $6,000 off sticker netted me $824 per month. Not sure how a $90,000 car would net $826. All games to them.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Hmmm, maybe I just assumed. It was 4 years on my M5 and M6. Guess I didn't pay close attention to this one. In either case, it's a nice incentive and more manufacturers are doing the same these days.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Absolutely did, haha. One of the best parts of owning a BMW is the 4 years of maintenance, oil changes, brakes, etc. that comes free.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    $6,000. Usually on a lease I would NOT advise someone to do a capital cost reduction (down payment) because in most cases that won't ever be recouped. But, through my business it was viable due to write-offs.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Just throwing this up in air: Too many toys and some have to go for a new kid and a new SUV. My M4 is one that I'll be letting go. I have it leased through my business, so it would be a lease takeover (done at BMW dealer on my dime). 2018 M4. 3,200 miles. 36 month lease that started April of...

    $280,000 in business lost this week due to clueless and ignorant clients. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

    Make your tenant pay for that. The box specifically states "do not fucking flush".

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    If I had to guess, I would say a good 25% of drivers are incapable of keeping their foot on the brake pedal to keep the car from moving, when at a light. Is the pedal too difficult to press? Does everyone have nerve damage and twitch all the time? WTF... The other day I sat in my car and...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Break in procedures are bogus. Drive the car like you normally would as long as the engine and trans are warmed up first. Only advice is not to launch the car hard or slam gears during the first 1,000. But, that's to ensure the trans/diff are OK. Also, engine break a bunch early on.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    You're doing it wrong. You need to daily drive it, have the exhaust in loud mode, and take it to redline at least once per day. Otherwise, you have no business owning it, hahaha. They are wonderful cars. So much character. My HC had a nail in the right rear tire a few months ago. It was 3...

    That Land Cruiser will last you 250k-300k miles with just regular maintainence. Would love to get one as a daily for my wife. But...I might get an SRT Jeep or Durango instead because they're silly. Selling the Hellcat now. Got an M4 to get to work and back and I'm trying to decide on a project...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Interesting topic, Kiroy. The wife and I have been talking about something like this for the past year. It's still 12-15 years off, when we're done in the corporate world, but we want a dozen or two acres in: Tennessee, Georgia, or the Carolinas so we can have chickens, goats, horses, and dogs...

    Well, shit. Yet another reason we're glad we didn't buy this time around (First reason is the flooding, since we're in Houston). Depending on where you are, I'm almost tempted to offer help, but it's fucking summer in Texas, hahaha.

    Warhammer 40k

    I've enjoyed ALL of Abnett's books. He doesn't do space marines like a lot of the other authors, but he's a much better writer and his characters are much more interesting (their human, essentially). Try to find: Eisenhorn Omnibus, Ravenor Omnibus, Gaunt's Ghost's series. Eisenhorn and Ravenor...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    Hmm, guess you're right. I just had the colonoscopy and it required 28 hours of fasting, plus drinking that god-awful mixture, then being put under. Aside from the drink you have to take, it was fine.

    OK, perhaps you haven't actually had your medical history looked into. I happen to be in life insurance, investments, and health/LTC. I run a 34 person marketing firm. Apnea can be a straight up decline for most people and IF you use your CPAP, then you can get coverage at a higher cost. But...

    No thanks, wouldn't want that in my medical records. Makes it really hard to get life insurance and some health/LTC.

    Shit son. If I'm gone 2 DAYS I have too many emails and it's a shit-storm of stress to play catch up. You may just have to say "fuck it" to anything older than a week and start from there.

    Battlefield V

    I guess I've gotten to the point where I'm just tired of 90% of games being about killing. I used to be really good at FPSs too. It does look really cool, but I don't think I'm the demographic anymore.

    Surgery to fix: deviated septum, inferior turbinate, and collapsed cartilage in my nose. NOT bouncing back from this one. I feel like a whiney little kid I'm so uncomfortable.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yup, that's the whole point. I don't care if I'm slower 0-60, I want to enjoy the drive. But, there are so few cars left that can be had with a manual and it's sad. IF the Mercedes AMG GT had one, for instance, it would be awesome. I think the new Vantage will have the option in a year or two...

    There are already commercials for 15-20% off MSRP on GM trucks and SUVs. And these are manufacturer commercials, not rando_dealer_547. Their business model makes no sense some times.

    Ultimatums will never work out. If you have opposing opinions about something that important, the relationship is already off track. If you give in, you will be very unhappy and the marriage will break up eventually. If she gives in, she'll be very unhappy and the marriage will also eventually...

    Boot disc so I could play MechWarrior 2 and Tie Fighter. God, I don't even remember the computer's specs. But, it was an IBM of some type. I'm pretty sure my computers today collectively cost less and could fly me to Jupiter.

    Gotcha. Makes sense now. I think I'm just wired to build decks a certain way and it's got nothing to do with winning tournaments. All of my play is casual and fun and I like themes and synergies. Appreciate the insight.

    You have a legendary who buffs angels, but you have no other angels. You have the saga that buffs Knights, but no other knights. Are you just relying on counters to keep the board clear and having one or two (ballista?) damage dealers?

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Millions of people buy sedans every year. Just not the American ones, because they aren't nearly as good as European or Japanese/Korean. You're right though, when it comes to domestic brand purchases, the SUV or Truck is more popular. In America.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Do it. Won't hurt anything and will be more comfortable. Won't have restrictions on tint % either, since it's not a safety factor for a police officer being able to see you.
