For long sleeve dress shirts, it happens as we're building more :massles: .. our back and shoulders get wider, which pulls the sleeve tighter and higher up our wrist, and then as our arms get bigger too the elbows put additional pressure on the sleeves as they get tighter. It's a pretty common place for shirts to rip if you're growing and not updating your wardrobe with your new size.


I've had the crotch rip too.. mostly from skating back in the day, some from my legs growing and wearing jeans long enough that the friction between the legs as I walk wears the fabric down.

Not too much. Went grocery shopping and out to dinner on Saturday because a local restaurant we like was celebrating their 20th anniversary with 20% off their whole menu. Had pot roast Stroganoff which is 5/7 :drool: and a Long Island ice tea, which was the Saturday drink special at $5 plus the 20% off. Bar tender did a "fuckyeah: job too as you could definitely taste the booze.
Sunday did few chores. Shoveled the driveway and sidewalks, fixed the upstairs bathroom exhaust fan, assembled a little shelf unit thing for wifey.
Not too interesting I suppose but there you go.

Had to abandon slim fit after a point cause I’d rip the elbows when I would do the hands behind the head desk lounge move.

Damn. $4 Long Islands would be a quick :drunk:

That stroganoff sounds good. I should have asked my mom to make hers while I was home for Christmas.

True, though there was a blizzard happening and I didn't want to risk driving in it with more than one drink in me.

And yea, it's pretty :tits: . Having the leftovers tomorrow. :megusta:

Because 95% of the required credits apply. Why not get two degrees when it cost me absolutely nothing except an extra 2 hours of my time?
Makes sense, was asking only because it took you longer so I assumed they were two different programs.
I finished them concurrently. It took me longer because im lazy, deployed for 14 months and work a full time job instead of going to college like I should have.

I started looking around, all hypothetical at this point, for an AWD turbo car - hatch, sedan, mini-SUV - that could replace my MK7. The main factor is to get AWD for our ski trips and generic winter season driving.

I know basically any Audi hits the requirements, so I've checked those out. I've looked at the BMW 3 series, Benz C class, among others. Should anything else be on my radar (used, ideally CPO, market, preferably under $20k)? I'd work to getting ~$12.5k on trade-in, if possible, to minimize monthly payments as much as possible.
:manuel: necessary or no?
Not a requirement anymore, but it still is preferred. Though, based on my limited searching, it essentially just leaves the WRX if I want anything made within the last 5 years. If I were to pursue anything, I'm currently learning toward the A3 - similar to the GTI, but AWD. Nothing is set in stone yet, including if I'm actually going to go through with this.

MQB A3 2.0T quattro is a :notbad: value used right now.

I think I posted it last week, but I was eyeing this one: https://www.truecar.com/used-cars-for-s ... 6-audi-a3/
I would have them swap the wheels from my GTI at trade-in though. I'm not a fan of the ones that it currently has.

Wow.

I haven't played D&D since 1985/86. Used to play a lot before then with my core group of friends. Then we all got cars and girls and kinda lost interest after that.

Seemed like we had nothing but time to kill up until then and as you get older you don't have time for shit.

I’ve never played. I have a buddy in Denver who plays like one or two saturdays a month with some friends instead of going out to bars that night. :notbad: way to save money and still get the bois together for a night.

$20k CPO AWD thingy. Hm. Just about any of the mid size non premium CUVs should fit that bill. CX5, Rav4, Cherokee, Outback, Crosstrek, etc. None of them are exactly fun to drive, but they don't suck either. I think they make nice daily drivers.

For fun stuff I think you're on the right track with what you had mentioned before. The A3 is a nice car. Maybe a G37x would be worth a look, or a Q50 AWD. They might be creeping in that range now. Volvo S60.

Golf Alltrack is another decent pick.
