:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist

I haven’t seen one yet… word is there’s at least one in Charlotte, I’m looking forward to seeing it for the :lolol:

I think it is dumb though. I’m amazed it actually exists. It’s a death machine, built to kill pedestrians everywhere and cut the hands of children!

I too have some fear of bridges as well as man made heights like skyscrapers. I’m cool on a mountain but a huge bridge? Ehh. Hoover Dam? Scary. :tits: and I rode bikes over seven mile bridge in the Keys on some beach cruisers and she was loving it, I was terrified, especially when big commercial veh...

Everything being discussed here is complete and utter seppuku and to be avoided unless absolutely necessary because you had twins. Honestly disagree.

I probs would wait 3-6 months before taking the plunge. They are severely "Overpriced" at the moment IMO. 60k + for a 3 year old rapidly depreciating behemoth is :ludacris: IMO. Rapidly? Nah. The American Leviathan is in strong demand all the time. :dat: I'm sure they'll go down over time...

Wow that would be ballin dude :dat: Honestly Suburban/Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade have always been class leading vehicles. Those and the Corvette/Camaro are really the best of GM (and now add the Blackwings to that). I hope to never be in the market for one as they’re ‘spensive, but probably worth it.

Interesting commentary on the bridge here. Pretty wild stuff, did they find anyone that was lost in the water? Is it actually true that the US hasn’t built any major bridges in decades or is that just :fax: stuff? Dude they just replaced a major bridge here in 2015. And it was shipped here from CHY...

Well 3.5% on base isn't quite 3.5 overall but I'm still fairly pleased with it. I kind of expect nothing at this point so it's a win.

I’ve taken my toddler to rooftop bars. Just gotta go early is all. The feeding schedule is tough but if you can work around that and bring a bottle then you can go nearly anywhere with them.

Who still goes to rooftop bars in their 30s? House party, bonfire in the back yard, hang out with friends without paying 4x what you should for your drinks, and when the kid is ready to sleep put the little bugger down in a pack and play inside.

Won’t really have a choice but :iono: No sense in worrying about it at this point. Good to have all the ducks in a row. Daycare is about 1500-2500 a month.

Good tip. I’m sure every situation is a little different but it makes sense. The Beep Beep will be able to handle family duty just fine.
