Quite seriously: at the moment I saw that happening live on the news I owned 1 handgun. The next day I had paid for 2 rifles, a shotgun and 1 more handgun and started my background check. Seeing what happened in LA to the Koreans and anyone not Black or Mexican was insane. Even up in San Jose the Korean and Indian market owners were in their stores with guns out in fear of this kind of shit starting there.
If it's that bad then imago ahead and say that the problem will never go away.
It took a couple years, but I can tell you that having dated Korean girls in those times and being in their community, they really, really hold a grudge against Black people, almost like Jews do against Nazis.

It has been a full 6 months since my m3 leasershit.
Where to start
Issues:
0 ! literally this car hasn't had a single issue or fuck up, everything worked/works. Keyless, car starting, trunk opening, nav, radio etc. I can't think of a single strange hickup that required any sort of service visit or look anything up online as a DIY.

Complaints
Ride quality is still sort of blah, the trade of for epic handling, but it is certainly manageable and I am DD'ing it just fine, through hills, parking garages, street parking/city parking, leaving at work for 2 days right now to go to vegas blah blah, at 15k miles a year pace as of the moment which puts me in the top 5% of miles driven for M3 folk.

Praise
Best sedan/performance car I have owned hands down. I have 0 want/need to "upgrade" anything and that is a wonderful feeling. Over time i have come to LOATHE modZZZ, they usually have some kind of unwanted downsides that everyone downplays on the forumz because they are not pussys BRO. This car is MODDED from the fucktory and it is epic. Sounds great, rides great, brakes great, accelerates like crazy, and looks awesome to boot.

MPG
~21mpg average for me, better than my 370z and about on par with the C5, which is :impressive: as hell for something with 440whp, 4 doors and a real trunk.

Future plans for me are uncertain, I don't think I want to continue driving a machine such as this daily. It is pretty damn expensive even with my :scrooge: ways.

Currently exploring various future ride ideas...
Jeep JLU
Civic sport (if i move and commute a lot, likely in about 9 months)
GTI/R

Going to continue brainstorming here for a bit...

Depends on where... drivers are either super timid or incredibly aggressive, near 3rd world status. Moscow roads are way better than US roads, epic winter and all. However... Crimea... while undergoing a lot of construction... holy moses.

Everyone is married/has kid(s) before 30. So... the "target" demographic is like 18-25 I dunno... they are mostly very attractive, great legs. But I prefer an asian mindset to a russian one. So I am staying put.

Yea.. the arr upcharge isn't that bad if you compare trim to trim and you get it all back on resale and can use it as a snow mobile. The next vehicle purchase will be a difficult one.

I was sold on the Aar too for the same reasons. It's pretty great if not being compared back to back with an M3. I can't believe mine already has 40k kms on it. Been pretty robust aside from the boulder i drove over.

I am at 30k communist units on my M3 as well. It'll be around until it hits nearly 50k. I am not expecting M3 level things that would be :fullretard: this car is great but at a price, and maintenance is expensive... I'll be dropping 1450 or so after tax/install on a set of tires :disgust:

Tough to explain, Russian girls are generally more high maintenance and temperamental, I also find them to be less loyal. All negative qualities in my book. I do find them more attractive, but it doesn't outweigh the side-effects.

There are a few guys who really like the high maintenance, but I consider them insane. Loyal is not debateable. Better looking is good for six months. Side effects are forever.

Yep. That's why I am sticking to this for now. It is of course a generalization with plenty of colors on either side of the spectrum. The ultimate unicorn is a Kazach girls. Russian-Azns, that :mindblown:

A lot of the turkish girls are like that too, or they are more inclined to go out with a guy that has money or appears to look rich (which they think they are) or happens to go to an American University. One of my turkish friends friend got a girl, and after a while she said “can u buy a plane ticket for me”.

But then again, lot of turkish girls here would usually go for white guys, but more materialistic and cares about their asthetics would also go for :mahtroy: s as well
