A local car collector just revealed/took delivery of his 2017 Koeniggsegg Agera XS (basically a One:1 engine in an Agera RS body). He is a 5/7 dude who talks to everyone that asks about his cars. I've met him personally twice and he has been super friendly. He also has a Pagani Huayra Tempesta, Lamborghini Veneno, and Huayra BC. He also has a color named after him because of the whole Veneno shindig.

It won't be the $2,500 previously discussed, but they want to reduce it WAY down from the new $18,500. How shitty is that. I thought the whole point was to make people responsible for saving for their own retirement, but now they want to take that advantage away too? Da faq??

This may not happen, but the White House is reportedly backing this now too. Never say never.
It makes me :rage: that this is even up for discussion.
The fucking orange jagoff is a fucking moron.

Oddly enough, the best deep dish I ever had was in St. Louis. :iono:

Chi-town in February is :hellno: to visit.

When GF and I visited Montreal last November, we were exposed to awesome snow flurries and a constant .5 foot of snow on the ground as it would melt as it fell. She went with her friend in February and it was blizzard status.

Ask him about when we first started dating and I didn’t want to correct him on directions and we walked five miles in the opposite direction of the car. :rolleyes: I was in heels. And a skirt. It was like, -2 degrees outside.

This is probably why Congress wants to fuck with 401ks.
Wait. If Murican's savings rate is so bad why would Gubment want to limit it more?

The argument is that limiting it won't make any real difference to anyone - the people who NEED the tax savings don't make enough money to save over $2500/yr anyway, and the people who do save that much can afford to pay more taxes.

-2 until the wind blew. Probably top 3 coldest I’ve ever been.
We went in March for St. Patricks one year. It was so cold. Never again.
March is usually consistently above freezing here. It ain't nothing compared to December through February.

That's the thing. People don't put in much, so they want to get rid of the large deduction in taxable income. It's sort of a catch-22. They want you to be off of government assistance and have no safety net, but yet they take away something that allows people to actually be responsible with their money and saving for retirement.
The people that can afford to put 18 grand in their 401k probably have plenty of other taxable income for the guv to get their due.
