Yepp!

It's the same as paying for music, movies, oil paintings...

You said it! Mostly I'm confused by the 5 series GT and the 6 series Gran Coupe.

Oh absolutely. It would also make perfect sense to keep the 3-series as one series, given that it has been so for decades.

This!

You touch on a very important point, and I think it needs to be brought up.

I get your argument, but there's no arguing with tradition. The coupe versions are even numbers, like the 6 and the 8.

Word. Had an E46 330i and an E46 M3. The M3 was a bad buy as previous owner had obviously "tinkered". My mistake buying it. While I was away for a bit the car broke down four times in six weeks. Wife bought a E93 323i. Don't get me wrong. I like the car well enough. But the seats are worse, the interior, while well…

Sadly yes. It gets worse though. Here in "sorta China" (HK), we have the following macho police cars.

Very common in China nowadays. Not that it stops everyone from ignoring the red light. ;)

As one of the other posters said: anything. If you are distracted in any way you're looking at a potential accident.

You're not describing grit. You're describing an abrasive and arrogant person.

Of course luck plays a part. However without grit and perseverance it is much harder to take advantage of the opportunities that do come along. As the saying goes:

You just described grit.

Given the age of the kids, I'd say the spelling and handwriting is about up to par.

My 8-year old daughter's list starts with, "A hug from my sister". I can't tell if she's being sweet or trying to manipulate her parents.

Sorry, but how could I have known that?

And probably attend fewer yoga classes (joking aside, the piece notes that some stay-at-home banker dads aren't welcome at typically all-female mom social events due to the fact that the stay-at-home moms' husbands don't like dudes hanging around their wives when they're at work).

The idea that a man who is not the breadwinner is subservient is fallacious.

Can't speak to your individual case, but I think attitudes are changing among men who stay at home. Along with it being accepted that the women is the sole breadwinner, it will become expected that the man in fact pull his weight doing the chores. It won't be fast though. I expect it will take a generation.
