An E60? gently caress that poo poo. There are waaaay too many special tools needed to work on those things. Even an oil change requires a BMW diagnostic computer to cycle the oil pumps. An F10? Pretty much the same thing. He should have bought an E39. gently caress buying a post-2000 BMW out of warranty.

By not reading the contract at all and thinking you're going to pay something like 32k, which was already ridiculously high for that car. The pictures are long gone, but he originally posted images of the contract so everyone else could see how retarded he was, then he argued for a long time about how he was right and everyone else (and the contract they were literally reading from) was wrong.

I cannot loving find it.

Recently, I installed Quicken to synchronize all my finances in one place. That's when I pulled the ol' contract out and figured I should just pay the rest of the car's payments off in one sum, no point in paying interest (I was going to use the money to invest in the stock market and get a better return, which I never did).

what does this poo poo even mean lmao

e: that reminds me of a dad chat topic. what do you use to budget your money? about two years ago i stopped using whether or not my card got declined to decide if i had money for stuff and now i have the most ridiculously complicated excel spreadsheet that has evolved over the last two years. it's helped me get rid of debt and build up a LOT more in savings than i've had in my life and its the most adult thing i do in my life.

no judgement if you're still using the accepted/declined method of budgeting.

I used You Need a Budget for a bit. The concept behind it takes some time to sink in but it really helps keep track of where you're putting your money and makes it easy to create and fund goals for yourself. It's more proactive than something like Mint but takes more effort on your part to manually enter in all your expenses as you make them.

I'm finally at a point where I have cash left at the end of the month and I think my last dance with accept/decline is behind me for now, barring emergency poo poo. I even have money in savings, it's a literal loving miracle.

It's nice to make progress on debt for once.

Yesterday I was shamed by my BJJ coach to go to class. I am working and going to the BJJ gym today and tomorrow so no Factorio until then.

Last time I played was about to start the main hub and automating poo poo.

The B18 Sentra SE-R was a great car, as were the 240s and the Zs. Nissan had a lot of good cars over the years but now even their best and greatest achievement (the GT-R) has been left to rot on the vine for 10 years with only minor updates, and their normal cars are aggressively mediocre compared to their competitors.

I'm a Volvo guy personally but my old beater Forester has 315k miles on it and the engines been knocking for 31,000 miles. I haven't done an oil change since it started knocking because I have a spare engine and want to see how long it'll last under heavy abuse. So far, I'm incredibly impressed.
