That's only because you're driving 15-20K in other cars as part of your job.I've had the GTI for 5 years now, and it's 7 years old.Stop bragging. I’ve been struggling to put 2k miles on any of my cars in a year.😢
13,800 miles when I picked it up in Denver. Now has 42,300 miles. I'm averaging 5700 miles per year. (28,500 miles driven)
At this rate, I'll probably look for a new car after 2030... maybe, way after.
I do need tires, though.... for the second time.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
My son found a fun weekend car for me at a local Ford dealer. A 2020 bmw Z4 M40. Only listed at $39,995. But he said they have had it for a while (a convertible in attic winter, who would have guessed that?) so might be willing to deal.
He must want me to spend his inheritance!
I told him that was out of budget for a toy to barely get used. Plus the 40 engine is overkill for us. We apparently also have different ideas about what overkill is.

I saw a gorgeous, Red FL5 (current body style that @tifighter has) Civic Type R on my way home tonight. My truck had a much easier time navigating the potholes & expansion joints on the Cross Bronx Expressway.

We went out at 11 PM stayed out until 5 or 6 AM.
The bars close for an hour at that point.
I never went back either.

Our taxes are the last ones done as she does all her clients first. We always get a refund and since she pays quarterly, we never see it in our account. But right now is her real busy time, so I tend to keep things real quiet since my office is right next to hers.Our profit sharing was down a bit from last year also. We got about 75% of last time.. Still a nice piece of change out of the goodness of the company’s heart. We were jokingly blaming each other that it was because the chase driver gassed up at the expensive station and ruined the company’s profits.
OF, we got our profit sharing on the 14th like last year but I've heard a lot of grumbling from some co-workers that they got less then last year...much less. Checked on mine and sure enough, was less also but not something I was angry about. There must be a formula they use to get the amounts we all get...all seem to be different. Thinking the amount of years one has been with the company plays a part in the calculation. Since I've never gotten profit sharing before working for Enterprise, am happy with whatever they give us!

One of our employees put in his notice and I drew the short straw to cover a presentation he was supposed to give in Boise next month. Anyone have any suggestions for nearby attractions and restaurants? I had planned on taking some time off next month, so i'm taking a few extra days in the area, but doubt the weather will be good enough to go up to Yellowstone.
I hear the potatoes are wonderful ….
I better not quit my day job
