All raises go into effect on April 1st. :lol:
Nice man! Good luck.

Ah yes, the sedan version of the coupe version of the 3 series sedan. Which juan doe? 440xi xdrive40i Msport with sprinkles?
You asked which mid-sized sedan I'd take.
I answered.

I'm so tired of being grilled on my preferences.
1) I didn't ask it
2) IDGAF about your preferences and wasn't trying to grill you on them, I was making fun of BMW's :fullretard: naming convention and overlapping products.

There are a few, not sure which ones are extra if ordering it new.

I really like the S3's styling and as [user not found] said about the proportions. I might be biased doe. ImageImageImage
I like these. They did a nice job on the styling without going :fullretard: The shoulder line is a tad high but that's just modern car stuff anymore.

Florida spec. Full beige interior. :gag:
Yeah. I wouldn't seek out a tan interior car but if the right one came by and it had tan.... I could probably :dealwithit: It's not bad in person, aside from the blinding windshield problem I guess but I haven't experienced that.

Love Boxsters. They depreciate hard though with seemingly no floor to their price. This one looks like it would be fun. All I'd do is a dual outlet exhaust tip, I think the single outlet looks too much like a butthole.

This seems to be a common occurrence for your building?
Yea it isn't exactly uncommon. The infrastructure in this town is :disgust: so we pay the price with rickety electric supply, occasional flooding, horrible pot holed streets, etc. They did build a pretty big retention pond at the end of the street and replaced the 24" storm sewers with 60" ones so the flooding issue may be solved :doe:
Glad I don't live in this town.

No. Don’t overthink it, and lower your expectations dramatically to avoid disappointment. Better to expect $5k and get 10 than expect 10k and get 5

I agree - however I was expecting 10k when speaking to my boss in October, since that's what she had told me.

What with all the time on reddit and trading crangcoin and complaining about other people not doing their jobs?

Even $10k is a rip.
