Buy high, kill yourself low.

All he does is talk about it. He needs to put his money where his mouth is.

So youre saying I should invest more than the $50 I have into it?

Oh, I almost forgot, Orlando airport sucks if you have a connection there and don't have a long layover.

We landed in Orlando at 6:23, and our next flight was at 7:05, which meant it started boarding at 6:20. They also didn't tell us which gate we'd be until we got there, but our flight wasn't even on the flight status screens in the terminal we landed at because our flight was in a different terminal. Luckily we ran into a pilot on our way and he was able to look up the flight for us on his phone and tell us what gate we needed and how to get there. We had to run to a tram that took us to the main terminal where you go through security again even though we were on a connecting flight, security was all backed up because people kept leaving waterbottles full of water in their bags. We talked one of the TSA agents into letting us through the handicapped line to get through faster. As our bags were being scanned through there I got called four times by our gate to see if we were coming. Luckily I checked my phone as soon as it was through the scanner and called them back and told them we were coming. Had to run down another corridor to get to another tram to take us to the terminal we needed, then run through the terminal to get to our gate. Flight was supposed to leave at 7:05 and luckily they held the doors for us and we boarded at 7:03 and took off like 10 minutes later.

TL;DR, Don't expect to make a connection at Orlando airport unless you have at least an hour between when one flight lands and the next boards.

At least for our stress in that airport we got upgraded seats on the flight home and got better snacks and free glasses of wine plus some extra leg room.

My rule of thumb is to always have 1 1/2 hours between layover. Gives some wiggle room for delays and airport BS.

He's not getting a deal, just not getting ripped off

Kinda dat. I have a great service advisor who has been with us for the past 5 cars (MK6 Golf, Touareg, Passat TDI, Passat R-Line and GTI) and he tells me when and what will get charged to the warranty.

So far, they've done much of the wear & tear and non-powertrain stuff under that warranty. I have it until 60k, and I'm at 57,3k right now so I'm getting a lot of the things done preventatively.

But, all in all, it's just building relationships and being on top of them. I also only use him as a service advisor and give him all 10's. He's always brutally honest with me on any service.

I feel like just drops off the car and then goes and pulls his hair out until they come and him in the with $2,500 repair bills

I had the same service advisor for about 4 years, then he left and now I don't have a dedicated guy to use. Seems like their service went downhill or something because they won't even budge when I try to negotiate on anything.

Bro, stop letting people fuck with you Tell them unless they treat you like a valued customer, you will go elsewhere.

Every cent you have. It's just going to keep tripling in value overnight forever. You're an idiot to not put everything into it.

I very much look forward to selling mine to a moron in the near future.

It's a stupid investment.

How is it a stupid investment if many people have now become multi-millionaires, some to the point where they can take care of their entire family with all issues and buy them houses, pay for medical bills, and no one has to work.

I kinda wish I had converted a few hundred dollhairs back when they were worthless, but the liklihood that they would have been stolen was too great...and I really needed that few hundred to survive back in the day. Momma didn't pay for anything.

That. It's a VW. Anyone can work on it.

I literally don't know anything about cars, and I know this. Any thoughts on the Jeep Renegade peeps? I have a 2013 Ford Escape with 95k miles on it. I am learning more about cars, but I am thinking of getting rid of it in the next year or so. I worry about maintenance costs starting to increase although newish cars should be good much longer.

Because tomorrow that value could crash to nothing. It's fucking currency, not a stock.

Holy hell.

Oh, and the bitcoin stock is even dumber. Don't bring that shit up.

It's a bubble. It's fake. Two weeks ago a random analyst said "it might be 5k by the end of the year." Now we are going to be there this week. This is classic bubble activity.

And just wait for it to pop...

GoT was awesome tonight. My girls boss, a plastic surgeon who owns a Bentley, is having a season finale party in which we must dress up. I am thinking either Robb and Talisa or Drogo and Daenarys.

So torn.

Just be careful with the screen. Made out of plastic so it will scratch easily.

Um. What screen?

I put a bit in a few months back. Now it's worth 6k. Fucking silly.

Yea, it makes zero sense.

I'm surprised the Russians haven't hacked exchanges and started draining funds yet...

Someone tried to sell me an 84 month motorcycle loan. Gotta keep those payments low.

When I was looking at the Vipers they were really trying to sell them and the salesbro was telling me I could get a 120 month payment to make it as cheap monthly as a Challenger.

I would have done this. Because is a fucking

Dat quartely muffler bearing plan...each bearing is $1k. $1k/quarter is a fucking bargain! Buy one get one!

And someone is always left holding the bag.

Hell it is basically a pyramid scheme at this point.

Is it?

I thought it was just digital "currency"?

You can do almost any airport in half hour but it's fucking terrifying

I do not think I could get from B to E in DFW within a half hour.

Yeah, I guess so...except all of those people who made all of that ridiculous money have now cashed out.

I mean it is a currency but you can't really use it anywhere. Soooo... What's a currency that can't be easily spent and doesn't have fundamental economics behind it?

What do you mean it can't be used anywhere?

And the list just keeps growing.

I think Overstock accepts like 20+ different types of cryptocurrencies.

Okay. Deposit of $8.43 put in. Life savings better be at $27 tomorrow.

Finally finished painting the downstairs bedroom for the new roommate. 5/7. Went from a tannish yellow color to a very nice light gray. In the room it looks perfect because it is a darker room. I really like the color and am now considering putting it in multiple rooms and throughout the house. My interior colors are very dated and AZN like. Lemme snap some photos, brehs.
