Why are you touching other people's cars anyway? I have been to many shows & managed to never touch a thing other than my own car, dog and/or lady friend

Doors to bathrooms etc.

And my cars would have been on show - so its not me touching other peoples cars, it's who touches mine. Many are not as disciplined or as considerate as you.

I don't show my cars so no worries here. Drive > show for me.

I haven't really seen people touching cars at shows that I recall. I don't use public restrooms so never an issue for me

Company wide announcement was not bad, thankfully. Just people getting promoted & my new temporary boss is now my permanent boss, ugh. Marketing girl got promoted to manager. She sucks & is part of why we have no brand awareness wtf?! I, once again, got the shaft.

Also, I think I will keep skipping shaving to see just how bad of a "beard" I can or cannot grow. I don't think it will look like a beard at all

Had smoked a lousy E93 with a nice gal inside, she gave me the finger and I showed her how to brake short with my ceramics.

I just discovered my favorite artist has made a song sampling the soundtrack from the greatest movie ever made. Shame Kanye refuses to drop TurboGrafx and Yandhi :I

I can die in peace, time to break quarantine I clearly served my purpose on this planet to be awarded with this

Doing my part to help local small business with this statewide shut down...I have some Irish Cream truffles being delivered today. So much for forcing myself to not eat candy for a week.

Well... there's why she was promoted.

Despite being financially solvent, i thought to take up BMWFS and Ally Financial on their offer of deferred payments....



(Eventually decided not to because of fears of bad karma and also because my interest expense goes up slightly over the loan terms)

The plant manager rolled up today in his latest purchase over the weekend - 2020 340i. Beautiful ride. I'll give it to him, for someone who makes over $100k/year he needed a car that reflects his earnings. He knows fuck all about the car, but whatever; it's a nice car.

Although he makes double what I do, I can't help but feel like I now have to step up my transportation game. Still dig the Lexus though.

no offense, but how does owning a 340i reflect to a person making over 100k a year?

Side story time. The guy was "awarded" his position October of 2018. Had his car repo'd from the parking lot at work on new years eve of the same year. He has been driving rental cars since...and not the nicest of rental cars. I guess my point is that he finally drives a car that makes him appear as if he doesn't work at McDonalds.

I get your point though, he could have most certainly gone a different direction (as in series) with what he bought.

LOL...And here I am driving a lowly "128i". All my "peers" drive much nicer cars than I do, and live in much more expensive homes than me.

I'm kind of the social outcast of the group. But I hate having any kind of payment.

One of my good friends of many years that worked here was making in the $200K+ range...and he drove to work in an "Uncle Buck" car. That was too funny to say the least.
