I forget that there are parts of the country where you can get a house for 1500 a month. 

heh I was going to buy a Fiesta ST toy with cash, but I did 0% financing for a long term instead - it’s only going to add history and I can always pay it off whenever if I get tired of the loan.

thats probably the most polite picture response that could’ve been posted :P

If I said I wouldn’t drive that around in the snow I’d be lying. 

A buddy of mine was recently let go from Tesla - he was a service center manager, and several other service center managers were also let go. Almost all of them were sitting on fat stacks of positive customer reviews going back quite a while. Several months ago customer satisfaction surveys for the delivery process…

you only teach people a little bit, so if you get canned they make things a lot worse and you can charge a lot to consult ;)

lol savage

In my area at least, the number of brand new lower-end mercedes and audis on the side of the road or on tow trucks is absolutely obscene. Dealer tags still on...

What about the occasional limo tinted S-class that treats the merging lane in the canyon like a “just for them” lane lol.

Haha yeah I know exactly what you mean. I had an Armenian friend, they had a LOT of people living in a small house but they all drove new black BMW’s - the street in front of his house looked like dealership overflow parking lol. Would never even discuss driving something else. Irvine is all white Lexuses... Lexii?…

It’s exactly how I wound up with a 500 abarth - I loved (and still love) it, even though they had to buy it back. Sat at dealer for 3 months to get a throwout bearing replaced. They were backlogged with DCT replacements on 500L’s. Got a Fiesta ST instead - it’s a great car but doesn’t have that same “LOOK OUT I HAVE A…

All over the place in Orange County, or at least here in Laguna Beach. Watching traffic in laguna canyon is tesla tesla bmw tesla tesla corvette tesla 124/abarth, giulia, tesla, bmw, camry tesla - + a lot of mustangs and bmw 328's driven by highschool kids. 

It’s a character thing - you drive both and one makes you giggle more. Thats the one you buy :D

every once in a while preview can do some weird stuff with PDF calculations. I noticed this while filling out PO’s that it wasn’t adding properly but Acrobat did. Wouldn’t have any issues for months, then one day boop - missing 10 cents off of a 150k PO

A friend had a late 90's ford ranger - yellow, and everyone called it the burger truck. I still don’t know why and it’s been to long to ask. It’ll just be a mystery.

Interesting - I’m the opposite. Over 30 something cars I’ve never picked a color - if there are several for the same price with the features I want I just avoid yellow (wife not a yellow fan - I am indifferent, but she told me no yellow never ever ever) - beyond that, I don’t care. I got a brand new abarth for a…

Does it make me giggle? Thats how I’ve wound up with several cars. V8 fiero? Check. 500 Abarth? Check. Grand national? Check (though that was nervous giggling, as I wasn’t sure it could stop from the speeds it could get up to).

Fines are dumb. I’ve gotten a ticket for being parked on the street *in torrential rain* because they still had the street sweeper go by. Wasn’t sweeping, just drove down the road at 45mph and the code enforcement trucks trailing behind stopping to write tickets. 

Curious - I saw this passage:

* just not in california.
