Which car would you keep forever.. that you have SOLD.

Oh interesting thread. If it’s limited to cars that were sold… none of them for me. Really. The GTI was a basket case. The STI I’m past that point in my life and don’t want something that intense. My Focus was a pile. If we broaden it to vehicles that are gone from an accident there is one. My 1999...

Got quite a promotion at work, I'm now over several clients for the department. Been playing catch up getting everything lined up and organized.

Stressful, but a massive positive move in my career.
Great news! Congratulations!

Bossbro’s new boss at the Port reached out to him yesterday to ask about me. Sounds like I should be getting an interview next week. Second round interviews will be scheduled for April 3, and their tentative selection date is April 11. My agency is offering early separation buyouts now through Apri...

Tacoma and Tundra are not styled well IMO.
Not bad, not great.
I think the new domestics are way better looking. Basically across the board.

On the subject of day cares and general baby chat. Babygirl starts day care in 2 weeks. Just 2 days a week, and I’ll get to pick her up. Pretty excited about that actually.

So I ALMOST lost the accord today. I was off today and taking care of my parents house. On the way back home. I was cruising on a 45 limit road (near seven corners for those who know the area) and pulled up at a stoplight. As I was gradually slowing down maybe 3 mph, I heard a long violent tire scr...

Not the subject of the question, but Michelle finally started sitting up front with me on drives around the 6 month mark. Prior to that she’d be in the back with baby, or if she felt like driving I’d hop back there with her at Michelle’s request. Yep. It's a solid transition. And the next big one i...

Best cupholders I’ve had were in the STI since it had a little rolly top cover for them. It was oddly satisfying to hide them.

Thinking more about this and I’m with Cale. It’s a sick car that was meticulously cared for and dealer serviced. It hasn’t been destroyed by a broccoli head. I think the biggest risks are the rod bearings which forums seem mixed on, might go 120k without issues… and the general condition of the sus...

Cool car. Priced too high I think but it’s a neat example in good condition. I always liked this gen of 3 series.

Im amazed the SQ5 let her do that. Wow sound like quality neighbors. In 4 updates.

Landscape bros largely seem to fit that stereotype. It is a lucrative business for sure but lots of manual labor can cause problems later in life.
