OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

Also, if you bros aren’t in on kimchi pickles then you need to be. So fucking good. https://i.postimg.cc/34ZDf3Wy/IMG-4348.png Where can one procure such a delicacy? :dat: I’m interested. No Safeway back east in Flyover country though. I love pickles. I enjoy kimchi, but it can be hit or miss. I go...

They’re pretty cool cars IMO. What year is this again? I’d def proceed with caution on an older Audi.

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. Evidently my inside sales guy put in his two weeks and they just cut him off later in the day :wtf: I'm glad he gets two weeks off paid, he was great and deserves it...

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. That may depend on which rooftop doe. My hotel has a rooftop bar which we do allow people who aren't guests ...

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. Laugh if you want I guess, but it's 100% on you if yo...

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. So it’s something to discuss and budget for. Also they seem to be absolute disease factories … my friend’s kids got at least 8 diseases over th...

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. Things like daycare seem like they could be challenging, hopefully we can just use the one in walking distance to our house. Yep that’s why i specified the first ...

Just letting you guys know since I had the CF 6 months ago. You only need 1 car that handles it. At least for the first year. You will likely never go solo with the kid anywhere it’s going to be a collective suffering affair. So as long as you have 1 car that works for the kid, the other can be a w...

I’ve never been. My the time you fly to Philly, rent a car, drive there… you could just go to Vegas direct. That seems much less depressing if you’re looking to gamble/party.

Only real issue would be that when the baby comes I guess my vehicle should have a back seat equipped for putting a car seat in, and the little jump seats in a ranger like that would not work. But really, having that wouldn’t be any different than if I don’t buy anything at all and something happen...

I fit absolutely fine in the back seat. It's definitely gotten $3-$4k more expensive than when it was released, but even his spec is significantly cheaper than a middle trim midsize truck. https://i.postimg.cc/L5z5N1t6/Screenshot-20240323-155512-Photos-1.jpg The lifetime average for this one was al...

Posting removed. You could look for a cute little Fairway Green S10 :gaydance: Damn. I was actually excited about going to see it. Haha someone on here selling an S10? S10s and Rangers seem to be pretty robust little things, wouldn’t be a bad cheap runabout. I’d probably look for a manual RWD for m...

It works pretty well for kids but yeah. I’d much rather stay in a hotel. If I’m traveling alone, I’d rather stay in a hotel, but if we’re doing a couples trip, like we’re doing this weekend with D Griff to Wilmington, I’d much rather have an Airbnb. Just a heck of a lot more fun than hanging out in...
