OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

I mean... on the one hand, they're basically crowd funding their wedding, so I get the eye rolls. You're also free to not go. On the other, I'd probably go and enjoy a nice trip. We have spent a ton of money going to weddings all over the place. I don't think anyone ever expected attendance unless ...

Well, at least they are putting on the brakes.

Only reason for the smaller wedding is because of her family drama, which is q...

Time for some of these reading glasses. I clearly stated if you decided to say FUCK servicing costs I'd get a Macan, because they are an amazing value used for a "family" car used. They come with a DCT and drive GREAT. Interior space is just about slightly bigger than a 3 series and a bit...

Eh... in some ways, but then carry the BMW rape palace premium 1-2 a year for servicing and parts. I can't really recommend it for someone who watches their check book. For a FUN family thing a used Macan is also a great bet. They drive better than a 3 series IMO. If servicing costs are to be ignor...

Looking at prices of used Camrys and Accords is mind blowing. $25k for a 2021 Accord with 50k on it that was $26k new is insanity. When you can find piles of BMW 330i, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Audi A5 Sportback etc for that same price with half the miles. I simply don't understand the used car market sti...

Shits gonna cost everyone like $2k to go. I'm of the opinion that if you're having a wedding that requires EVERYONE get on an airplane you should be paying for travel or the accommodations. Why is going to a wedding a requirement. Seems like this is done on purpose to keep the headcount low as a lo...

Turn Signals Optional: Gberg’s M3

It's NOT a family car. It's a dickswinger tech bro car. Nobody buys that thing thinking it's going to go through consumables (mostly notably fuel) like a highlander. But if not for family, why not just get an M2 that is $50k less and better? M2 doesn’t “swing dicks” would have to be an M8 or M8 vert

Dude does some BS in pharma and his "wife" runs a daycare. I don't see them as dickswingers. Dickswingers drive a Urus or a G63. Not some bavarian knock off sports SUV that isn't even the top trim. Or nowadays or probably soon, Cybertruck. I just heard a rumor where 4 roomies split lease ...

Its something about the combo of saltwater/constant rain and brutal sun + being loaded with tourists to the brim that just absolutely wrecks them. IMO it's a unique durability study for OEMs... just pull apart a 2 year old car from hawaii to see 10 years of real world use.
