sorry to hear about your situation. on the plus side it’s made me feel a little better about being single still.

i was curious about stats so i looked it up as it seemed women tend to give up more than men. Found this pretty fast.

Haha. Yeah, I am with you on that one and wish that I could find a true sports sedan without a fancy badge on the front but there really aren’t any options out there. That is, until the Kia Stinger Gt comes out - while it is a bit on the larger side for me, I really like the idea of a RWD sports sedan with a TT V6 and…

And the X1 is killing it here, at least in the NYC and DC areas where I spend most of my time. I am in the market to get my wife a new SUV, specifically from a luxury brand (because she likes fancy lables) and my father in law suggested the X1 and I politely declined. I mean, we don’t work as hard as we do to drive a…

I mean it’s not a slow car per se, it’s still mid 5 to 60 and 14 ticks in quarter. But compared to the Q50 3.7 and especially the new 3.0T 300/400hp motors, powertrain is a bit stale. Gorgeous car in and out though. The only one that really gets the new grill/lights right other than the new LC500. The nice thing is…

This breaks my heart. I have 2 GS 350s, a 2013 and a 2014 F-Sport for the wifey. This car hits my three most important points for buying cars, reliability, reliability and did I say reliability...with a bit of style. Its not as sexy as a 5-Series, E-class or A6, but I will be driving these babies 4-6 years without a…

You too man. Best of luck and prayers that maybe things turn around (for both of us!)

people give up way too easily at everything these days.

Sounds like you’ve made some decisions! You can still be a huge part of your children’s lives. Just don’t move too far away :>)

I’m in a very similar boat TimG. I feel your pain. Seven years, two kids and a big house, taking care of her while she fled one career and trained and moved into another. Then she decides she’s not happy with me and the life we have despite having just about everything we always said we wanted. WTF. That’s been almost…

My problem is I hate the city I live in. Which means I don’t want to go out and meet people. It’s really taking its toll, to be honest. I’m in a bad mood, always tired, gained weight, etc.

That sounds awesome. I’d love to hear your thoughts at the 75k, 100k, 125k mile marks. I lust after this, but am concerned about how much money you have to sink into it over a car’s lifetime.

The biggest hurdle to overcome medical costs is getting providers to share what they charge. Call your doctor’s office, or a specialists office, and ask how much procedures and appointments will cost. Good luck getting a straight answer. They’ll tell you what your co-pay will be, and maybe you’ll be able to get the…

It’s not the federal government’s job to make sure people have health insurance.

Well the AARP just came out against the replacement bill. And one thing old people do is vote; so hopefully, this convinces at least 3 Republican senators to back away from this dumpster-fire of a bill.

Only if they all vote along party lines. So yes?

I hope not. 6 years to come up with something better (or make actual improvements). The only “improvement” I see is the increased contributions to the HSA for people who may need it.

Ugh. One thing the linked chart isn’t clear on is the 30% increase on the Individual…

Repealing the mandate is a move away from progress. Supporters of this bill continue touting that they want to give Americans “more choices.” The problem is, everyone needs healthcare at some point in their lives, and it’s never conveniently timed. Given the choice of whether or not to have healthcare, some portion of…

My 99 Silverado 1500 with tires down to 20 worked mint in that same OBX sand in 4WD. Granted the front was open and I had a Detroit in the rear, so actually 3WD lol
