You are becoming matt guber more and more.

Do you have a place to drop it off or will you pay them to pick it up?

[higgyburners]

Should work pretty well as long as you aren't ran over by a teen girl texting while driving the family suburban, you know the parents that buy their teen daughter a fucking suburban because they're worried about how bad of a driver she is... or struck by lightning.

Do it - it will do wonders for your monthly nut. Not to mention your health.

I'd still have two.

It's kinda funny how connected we get to our cars even if we don't really use them.

Not that far in the process.

You have heard of exercise right? Are you aware of its benefits?

You could always pick up a $3-5k older Honda Civic. The older Civics are simple cars that last forever.

And then you could watch the cats never jump up on that one, just to mess with you. LOL.

If Suburbans start using the bike trails we've got bigger problems.

As you can see, the drive is mostly River view and a small neighborhood, then Aldi.

Exercise from a self propelled vehicle?

I can see you riding a bike with a cute wicker basket on the front to hold your Winking Owl.

The bike in your picture has pedals - I assume they are functional and you can use them if you're not too lazy.

So as the little hamster in my brain is trying to feel like it has to do something, I looked up the latest Carvana offer. This is only a few grand less than what I paid.

Really if we're not out beating on this thing on the weekends racing crotch rockets, the only place I go is a mile up the road to Aldi, for the most part. It's a waste of a nice car just sitting there so fucking cats can walk all over it or I can worry about hail lol

Sell or not sell? This increase is from the tariff nonsense so this number won't stay here for long.

Much of the same logic when I sold my split window, post-COVID local car shows had all but dried up, the congestion in my area and @holes in traffic made me paranoid every time I rolled out in the car, after one major wreck in it already.

After the crash repair it was nearly a 'museum quality' restoration and most of my car buddies were dead, out of the hobby or gimpy. Then out of the blue some buyer hit my number and that put me over the top....and the split window 'mania' was in full swing - its backed off some now.

Cash buyer no auction or advertising fees or low-balling. It was time...

You do realize we are talking about Doug here, right?

[Vandelay Industries]

This might be a slippery slope, Doug...be careful.

The next red flag is if you disconnect your water heater to save money and begin window shopping the curbs on trash day to scavenge free items.

Yup, as you know, I've never had a full-time job, ever, in my life.

When he starts putting an electric stove heating element into his bathtub it's all over.

7 miles a week he can lyft or uber and still be ahead by not paying for insurance, etc.
