Looks like you nailed it with the Ranger. Bronco dude - I used to have dreams about my first car. The One That Got Away. So I bought another one.  Also, yeah you should have held on to that.

I have a coworker that paid sticker for a Turbo Veloster 2 years ago. He convinced his grandmother to pay of the $25k in debt he owed on the car on the condition that he quit smoking. Next day he shows up to work with a murdered out Miata NC smoking a cigarette... Found out later that the day after his Grandmother paid off the Veloster he sold it at CARMAX for $10k and then bought the NC off Craigslist for $7k. I can't look the kid in the eye anymore like what the gently caress. AND he didn't even really try to quit smoking.

Well, I didn't buy a Lamborghini but I did buy a 600hp/2200ftlb Volvo 730 under warranty. Apparently it's the most powerful emissions legal commercial truck you can buy in North America. I've been called a giant retarded fag by my friends and customers but it's been my dream truck for the last decade or so. I'm just not into Kenworth and Peterbilt. Weighing in at 144,000lbs, (63.5 snow Mexico units) it gets to 70mph surprisingly quick. However with 2.5-4mpg I'll probably be limiting myself to 60mph. Edit: this won't be a highway truck. It does short-haul trips pumping Hazmat fluid and transfering waste fluids to disposals or pipelines.

Although I am a sucker for a squarebody Chevy c10 or Ford shortbox setup like a prostreet show truck.

Grakkus posted:Sorry, a bit of E/N coming, but I need to get it off my chest. Sucks dude. My ex did something similar on my 30th birthday - I had arranged a ton of my/our best friends to get together and BBQ, the night went super well and everyone had fun even me, who did all the work. Except for her I guess, and as soon as everyone left I got to hear it how I didn't spend enough time with her that evening, how she never wanted to do it in the first place, how she sacrificed going to a coworkers memorial service that day just for me, and the list went on. I was totally blindsided (I didn't know about the funeral, etc), and of course it ruined what would have been a great evening/fond memory. I couldn't figure it out, but really it was just a strong tell in how bad our relationship was. It took me another year to finally read the writing on the wall and leave. I'm not saying you should bail immediately of course, especially if this is a first time kinda stunt. Communication should always be attempted - There are always two sides to every argument, and I know neither you nor I are anywhere near perfect men. However, your situation sounds real familiar and if similar things continue to happen, don't ignore them like I did. As a car guy I always like to say: the squeaky wheel gets the oil, but if it keeps squeaking it gets replaced with a newer, lighter Japanese model Also, happy birthday dude we're real close on the calendar!

I wouldn't try to predict the future based on partners loving up your birthday enjoyment. Every birthday I've had for the last 7 years has been messed up by various females. As sexist as it is, I think because it's your day and not theirs, they feel the need to sabotage it. Edit: I'm sure their are lots of equally dumb men who get all bent up over their spouses special day too.

My wife has a G5+, I'd say its a solid middle of the road option. Nothing that really makes it stand out other than being a relative bargain. Complaints: screen has a "washed out" look, 2 GB of RAM really doesn't cut it anymore.

My wife knows not to pull any "I don't mind if you..." deals, she knows exactly what I'll do, life's too short for that garbage. In return she gets absolute honesty from me. 19 years together and we're no closer to killing each other!

My buddy used to work with a guy who played WoW all day like that. So they started blocking the random ports that WoW used at the edge firewall and watching him ask people if they were having any connectivity problems(unsurprisingly no one was) trying to pretend he wasn't troubleshooting why WoW wasn't working. Larrymer posted:I tell my wife not to do anything for my birthday and she fucks it up by going above and beyond and doing awesome poo poo every goddamn time. Srsly. I have never cared about my birthday much(probably a side effect of having a Christmas eve birthday), but she goes and plans parties with all of our friends who are in town for the holidays. Hell, she even did it last year, despite having to pretend she was drinking so no one asked any questions, since we hand't told anyone she was pregnant. Speaking of kids, getting a standing desk and finally finding a carrier the kid doesn't hate is a life saver. Lets me actually get some work done in the mornings while letting my wife get more much needed sleep. As a bonus it entertains my coworkers when we are on video calls and I am standing here with a kid strapped to my chest.

Lmao I wish someone here would do that. I don't have any control over the network in my office but I do talk to the IT guy every now and then. I bet he'd find it funny so maybe I can get him to do it. I'm not going to lie though I've played AOE2 here before but only when there was no one else around and I didn't have anything else to do.
