    What vehicle do you drive?

    Very cool, congrats. I started looking at the MDX for the wife. Toyota/Lexus are really ugly lately and the German options have lost their appeal for the most part; they all look so boring and uninspired. So, might go MDX or F-Pace S. Both come in a great blue.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Went to Starbucks at 9:15 am in a super busy area. Got back to car at 9:19 with coffee in hand; window broken and briefcase stolen with laptop and documents. Briefcase was itself 15+ years old and a gift, but also had other sentimental items in it. Laptop was for work and had EVERYTHING on it...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Count me in if you do. I'll likely try: Troll Hunter or UD rogue (original, I know...). Wish I could get the Light's Hope server to work, but I don't trust the download options. Would be fun to get into classic before the big release.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    This all sounds like a fun little walk down memory lane (and I know I've certainly mapped out in my mind what I would want to play). But, it won't release for what, 18-24 months from now?

    MTG: Arena

    I didn't see any corrolation to ranks and game play yet, so I guess they can be ignored for now. I certainly didn't expect a crazy win rate like that. But, I would think I could easily swing 60-65%. Good to know that some of the different game modes can be explored without shelling out cash for...

    MTG: Arena

    I really hope this isn't going to turn into another game that requires spending a ton of cash to get a decent deck. I've gotten 6 freebies so far and broken them down to make my own decks (plus trading a few wild cards for essentials) but all of my decks so far are pretty weak. 50% win rate...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Where do those retarded pieces of shit come from and why are they still here, on our world? It's a FUCKING GAME. Also, your mental illness about gender needs to be kept to your self, you fucking entitled, addled, waste of space.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Well, since 80% of cars on the road are white, gray, or black, I would vote for ANY actual color. But, blue is my favorite.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Hahaha. Yes, very sure. I've already reached out to CarFax and CCed one of my attorneys. I have a feeling it's going to be a long, shitty process.

    Thought about trading one of my cars yesterday. Dealer shows me the CarFax and it has an accident reported from September. Umm....that never happened. WTF?

    First World Problems

    Should probably take away her phone, ipad, computer, and television and make her do manual labor around the house for a month so she appreciates things instead of inevitably turning into a useless, vapid, entitled American.

    Witcher 3

    Just got through the fight with the Crones and Imlerith and I'm level 29. To me, the combat seems far, far too easy. Do I need to set monsters to scale with my level? Do I just need to put it at max setting, or do both? I've ended up using crappier swords to make my damage lower and thus the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The V6 Grand Cherokee has 300hp and is plenty luxurious. It may not be as fast as you'd like, but it'll do the trick. Or, it comes with the 5.7 as well. Maybe the Durango R/T? Same 5.7 but with even more room. I've seen used ones under 40k with less than 20k miles. There's the Toyota 4 Runner if...

    Someone needs to beat the shit out of that little fucker. 1 and a half game suspension? That mother fucker would be arrested if he was an adult doing that on the street.

    Forza Horizon 4

    Ahh, well I guess I didn't see that. If that's the case then it sounds pretty expansive as a game. Racing and open world.

    Forza Horizon 4

    Am I missing the point of this? If I buy a car game its to race. This looks like a mini-game from Grand Theft Auto. Yes, it's pretty. But, what do you do, exactly? I remember Gran Tourismo and sinking a hundred or two hours into RACING. Licenses, used cars, new cars, trophy cars, modding...

    Board Games

    Looks really "cute" for the wife and her friends who like games, but also love that cute shit. But, at the same time, it looks like an in-depth and complicated game from some of the things I've read. Would it be a good fit for casual players, or do you need a DnD/EQ/nerd background to get it?

    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...

    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...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    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...
