Great point about Dave Ramsey. I generally love his stuff, and listen to his podcast pretty regularly. I have incorporated more and more pieces of his plans into my financial planning/budgeting system and it has been a huge help.

Wow this is tough...

100% on the Element.

Do you like a Valentine’s dinner, breakfast, cocktail hour, or some other meal? 

I set my homepage to the google search results for “W204 routine maint costs” to keep myself from buying one

“Again, the W8 Passat is kind of a pinnacle wait why did they build that kind of car.”

“So Mr. Customer we just completed the B Service on the 5 year old C300 you bought for $22k. with 0 down on 72, with a 580 credit score.....that’ll be $1,340 please”

Damnit Mike! I was warming up my fingers to go on the first-gen M rant. Beat me to it.

Absolutely agree. Focus should be on the City itself - and the discussion of race as it relates to Marta could be an entire topic in and of itself.

and again, i applaud you, but you are most definitely the exception.

Thisssssss. People in Ohio will talk about their “traffic” or get mad at someone for speeding (72 mph) and I’m just like....thats cute.

A 10 min walk in the summer in Atlanta might as well be 40 days/40 nights in the desert. But, congrats on being one of the few brave souls who try to live a car limited lifestyle in ATL. You are braver than I.

As someone who grew up in and around the City of Atlanta, my best piece of advice is to head to the airport, and get the first ticket out of there.
