But even though I would walk away with $150,000, where am I going to live here in Florida for $516 a month (HOA monthly fee)? Nowhere! I would need a $100,000 mortgage in a new place. So I decided to live out my life here. If I have to put in two new bathrooms 🚽 an a new kitchen and redo the flooring ($25,000 - $30,000) it would be more economical to remain here. Let the kids sell it after I am gone.

Audi is coming out with a new Paint color!
They are calling it "50 Shades of Gray"
It's not a copyright infringement, as it really is the 50th shade of gray currently available in their lineup.
:)
Back when I lived in a condo, the HOA was only like $150, this was in the early 00s and the association had plenty in reserve. Many I see locally are as much or more than yours, not sure where some of the money goes as they aren't fancy buildings.

And, speaking of new houses, does anyone have any experience/anecdotes regarding Toll Brothers? One possible builder in the area we're currently looking.
Thanks!

I noticed it seems to be common policy (at least in Canada these days), to have a clause they slide in that says someone has to check the house every 3 days if you are away. Not sure if that is standard and happening in the U.S., but, I bet most people don't know about that clause. We don't have time but I am going to see before next October if any companies don't have that requirement.

As it happens I was on another board discussing entertaining cars and I mentioned that even though the Clubman was glacially slow it would still cruise at 90 or better and could take most corners at double the posted speed. A charter member of the Safety [non-permissible content removed] posted that I should have my license taken away and burned in front of me.
When reading his post I could almost swear that I could hear the heels of his jackboots sharply clicking together. The rest of us opined that he must be a lot of fun at parties and I advised him that he probably needed to go yell at some kids on his lawn.

In any event, he believes that adding Liqui Moly Motor Oil Saver might help prevent gaskets from hardening and leaking- and before you ask, no, my dealer does not sell Liqui Moly products. Anyway, my SA noed that he had dropped some used N62 valve seals in a glass of Motor Oil Saver and after a few days they became as pliant as new seals.
So, I've decided to see how the product works in the Club Sport and the Clubman. The Club Sport has a slight oil seep at the front oil seal and the Cooper is all dry for now. It's inexpensive at $7.68 a can delivered from FCP Euro. Both cars get annual oil changes so we will see what happens.

I’m also switching to Liqui Moly oil for the next change. May send the old stuff off to Blackstone. Haven’t decided yet.
Someone spent a lot of money to make a nice car look and driver worse......

I rely on situational awareness to avoid being pulled over in the first place. For example, when I was hitting 90+ I was in the right lane of an interstate in broad daylight where cars were passing me on a continual basis. I wasn’t driving that speed just to be doing it- I was literally keeping up with traffic.

There were some brain-dead imbeciles on a Mazda list I used to follow who thought the “stanced” look was so cool. Again, making the car look horrible and be virtually undriveable.
So I started the “You Might be a Stance Ricer” list. Two I remember posting are:
If your inner sidewall lettering double as wear bars, you might be a Stance Ricer.
and
If your degrees of negative camber are higher than your IQ, you might be a Stance Ricer.

This won’t help with breakins but it never hurts to do what you have control of.
I’m not surprised that insurance companies have gone to sneaking in language on their policies. Insurance companies always want it their way. Just ask @andres3.

I just put new tires on the Mustang and since the old ones had maybe 50% tread left I emailed my nephew to ask if he knew anyone who might want them. He responded that he might since a lot of his friends burned up their tires on a regular basis by drifting their cars.

I start in my new role in October. I'm probably insane for doing this during a pandemic, but this is truly a once-in-a-career type of chance for someone with my background.

Now that the cooking studio has been open for a year, the wife is considering taking a regular job in her old field (early childhood education).
My stepdaughter and staff can take care of most of the classes, camps and parties, and the wife would like to earn her own money again.
The studio has made some money, but not enough to provide both the wife and stepdaughter any sort of regular stipend.

Next is halloween candy.
I've answered the phone a few times when I saw it lit up on a silenced call. I expected
political polls to be the caller--they're fun to listen to the pattern of their questions and
predict their goal. But they have been the panicked people trying to save me from owning
a car without a warranty.
I know that by answering I'm getting my number on a list of those who do answer.

I keep having the thought that I should tell them how glad I am that they want to cover my ‘67 Dodge.
