AirBnb not booked yet I'm still hunting for a good place - but rented a car from Turo. Been wanting to drive the new Z4 so it's a good excuse They also have a few Z4 coupes for like $50 a day which is extremely tempting to rent for a day and go to the canyons, been wanting to do that for a while.

Might re-download Tinder, get gold, and passport to LA to see if i can book some entertainment in case all falls down. Either way, I'm going
Attaboy! When are you going?

@Turkish Pickle Make sure you contact those dudes on Turo first, if you're under rental age, they like to hike up the rates on you. I recall paying a "premium" for a freaking Ford Fusion last year. Also, take pre-condition pictures all around the car before turning the key.

Some of these car rental guys are sketchy IMO.

Thanks! I'm sure it'll be fine, I chatted with the guy a little bit after I booked the car. First thing I'm going to do when I land is text him pictures, if I fuck up I'll have to own up to it but i'm not paying for someone else's mistake.

In a few weeks, I'm done with my internship first week of August, then need to move out of my college apartment etc. Hate moving but figured I'd do it before so I don't stress myself over it

Oh yeah. Car is $69/day, "under age charge" is $30 extra.
Even with the upcharge I'm paying $100 less than what I'd be paying in Avis with an ecoboost mustang though so I don't think it's that bad. Plus I always wanted to drive a convertible down PCH

You're getting up there in cost my dude, I hope she's hot and puts out.

Call me a negative Nancy, but I'd personally never travel out of state for a random (I assume random bc IG) during normal times, let alone during a global pandemic.

I'd just rent the Z4 locally and hop on tinder.

Oh no I completely agree with you. Traveling out of state for someone just sounds odd, and has been so since day 1, but I figured why the hell not. I've been looking at events/stuff I can do, I don't intend to spend every second with her anyway. Call it my vacation for this summer

Plus if shit hits the fan and I don't want to go I can get out of all three arrangements up to the day before with 100% refunds so I have a month to really make or break my plans.

Alright, that sounds a lot better then.

I'm just looking out for you grasshopper. Also, I believe CA is in lockdown, so if all else fails, maybe you can go protest - I hear those libtards get all the girls.

Have fun, be safe.

I'd love to have something with a B58, but those are a little out of my price range. Plus, I would only be buying used. Honestly, I'd even consider a low mileage e92 M3. The S65's N/A reliability and engine sound can't be beat at that price point. I know this is a BMW forum, but I almost bought 370Z Nismo at auction a few weeks back, but backed out last minute.

I don't know man, I'm all over the place with my next car choice. One day I want a used model 3, the next day I'm looking at Kia Stingers, lol.

There is a whole load of M240i coming off their 2017 leases hitting the market right now. Keep an eye out, and when in doubt, test drive

Alright, they are a little more reasonable than I thought.

Looks really good in Estoril Blue:

Oh definitely, I'll be rioting so hard laying on the highway and then complaining when I get injured. Maybe I'll loot a few high-end designer stores too! That'll show them!

Had a great texting conversation going with a nice redhead named Cynthia. Everything was going well until I asked to give me a moment for a bio break. She said yes and I replied thanks Cunthia without realizing it. When I came back I was blocked. The Y and the U are definitely next to each other on the keyboard. Ah well.
