I like the suggestions up top too, but I am going to suggest the Audi S3.

Ill be paid eventually. I still even have to work overtime during shutdowns. If this shutdown drags out like some of the longer ones I’ve been through, the worst thing that happens for me is that I get the equivalent of 2-3 checks all in one payment, which means I get killed on taxes (and given the situation that…

Splinter: Lets connect Trump to this guy in our headline!
