Top tier universities are now 50-70k a year in tuition alike … let that all sink in.

If only and I don't have large families, lot's of them will be flying to Turkey, backyard may work. But I know for a fact I will have atleast 150 attendees on my side.

Do it somewhere far away where fewer can attend

That won't work with my family Lot of them would fly from Turkey despite the shitty economy and flying to US seems to be a luxury nowadays.

I don’t really understand 100+ people weddings but hey to each their own.

have a large family, I have a wide range of relatives, which also includes family friends that sort of thing. Every wedding I've been to where I'm from as well as here within my culture or similar always consisted of atleast around 150 people and they're not just friends. Most of my family lives in Turkey, I don't have much here family wise. I also have a fairly sized groups of people from childhood friends that I see every summer at least + some of their parents. With the way Turkey is right now, I don't think no one wants to come to the US due to cost as our currency doesn't have any value and political issues, I'm debating on a separate wedding in Turkey as well as they're hella cheap compared to US. I also have couple whatsapp groupchats from there if that helps

I am STILL rocking the Grey Ghost..... JUST turned over 190K. Got some unsightly rust spots on the hood and over the windshield. Everything works. But def need struts that I am likely not going to splurge the
$1500 for.

Other wise she still purrs like a kitten and pulls like a pit bull.

I'd still be driving mine if it wasn't totaled.

I'd still be driving mine if I wasn't an idiot.

I am door dashing the fuck out of it, and if I don't decide to junkyard-engine-it when she finally gives up the ghost, I will likely be getting a Mk7.5 for cash and Stage 1 tuning that bish. GTI4lyfe. There is nothing else out there that checks ALL the boxes for me they way that she do. Though I have my eye on a Forest Green Mini (parked at the elementary school I drop off at) that if they were comparable in performance I would have to seriously consider. It is sharp as fuq.

Weird. I really never miss or think about this car, I'd say it's quite low on my list in terms of favorites.

You have had some rilly cool rides so this doesn't surprise me. The only thing I have had that qualifies is a '83 Camaro Berlinetta and the '92 Zee. But they were/are both dogs compared to the GIT.

The mk6 is a pile. But if someone dropped a perfectly mint 2018 GTI SE in great falls green over plaid with a stick in my driveway, I'd trade the 86 for it.

What Irish said.. meanwhile I’ve had a covered wagon and the current winner of the poverty pole as my drivers since the MKVI. Prior to the GTI I had a Saturn L300.. it’s not hard to sit at the top of that list of four cars

Wasn't my favorite but it was my first good car and it would likely still be good enough today, so getting rid of it was dumb.

Basically same boat here. It was the only thing I ever really lost my ass on though, the rest of my cars have been quite cheap to own aside from lighting money on fire tracking the Corvette a lot.

Ahh, I lose big time on everything no matter what. Cars, bikes, guitars, stocks, houses. Buy high, sell low. Zero luck/skills.
