That would be great.




Yeah, it is pretty nuts for my daughter this year. Son is a bit more 'normal' (a couple of tournaments out of town, but nothing crazy, still mostly in it for fun....) but he is starting to get up there in terms of size/etc. He is 11, so up here that is 1st year Pee Wee. Plays 2 years of that and then into Bantam - which is the first level at which they allow hitting now. (though they only allow it at the top 3 levels of play). That will be interesting. We essentially convinced/talked/pulled him out of football this year as we really don't need his brains rattled so I am not sure what we'll do when he gets to Bantam hockey.

I saw you looked at that thread on F80 stats. I hadn't realized they are now done production but...yeah, i guess they are. I am just coming up on extending Lucy's warranty. I'll probably stretch it for the long haul - not sure if i will keep her for 5 years but I might as well make her more sell-able should i choose. Plus I am sure it won't take a lot of repairs to make it worth the money.

Anyway, big day in politics for y'all down there. Will be interesting to see what happens. I have become a committed skeptic about US politics right now so, despite all the polls, I just assume the worst.

As principal Skinner said: Prove me wrong kids, prove me wrong....

If I'm reading the stats right you have 1 of 260 manual M3s in Canada, that is crazy.

It'll be an interesting night/next day here politically as it always is. Fingers crossed for some sense of sanity to return in both parties actually.

I don't blame you on the football decision, especially if he is playing Bantam level. That'll be enough contact up there I'm guessing, no need to add more.

I just heard the 'Hawks fired Quenneville and replaced him with some unknown (to most) 33 year old AHL coach. I've got this feeling there is more to the story here, like some pics surfaced or something. Otherwise WTF?

Thx, I ran on a platform that I accept just about any and all bribes. I figured I’d be up front and see where it gets me.

Had my first "oh shit" winter moment. I left for work in the dark, half asleep as usual. I noticed some snow on the ground and didn't think anything of it. About a half a mile into my drive, I crest a hill that turns downhill to the right and I'm going about 50 MPH...........then I find out I'm on glare ice and the rear kicks out on me. I get it settled down and slow waaay down. I'm rather proud of myself that defecate in my work pants. It's way too early for this shit.

I want to reply to that mcc guy but... I'm going to stop myself from doing it.

I get the feeling, but no need. He is way to entrenched in his position and it'll just go into the same back and forth with no end. As you can see by the responses already.

I should take my own damn advice sometimes.

The thing is, I do like Alfa. My older cousin bought the QV after seeing my M3 and M4, selling his Fiat 124 because it was more suited for his family in NY. Even sent me a photo of the QV.

That dude is only hurting that brand image on this forum, which I have a problem with.

I'm starting to feel like buying a car. The next gen that has manuals is the stupid 2 series so seriously asking for a friend, what's the fun car next? Not to polish, to drive?

My dog hauler for example, it's dying on me. A good mechanic can fix it but I kinda love it when he acts up so I don't. Peter is the only family car I've given up, and even then I thought he could not handle Europe.

I'm 36. It basically means I have about 2 years of owning and because I'm me, 5 years of mourning in me still before I die

The next gen M3/4 should have a manual. As for what else, I'm unsure of what is available in a manual in Viking country. I will say I'd like one of those BMW M135 hatchbacks if they still exist over there.

Yeah the G8x should have 6MT.

Or get a M3 CS since there all over the place apparently.

minn19 these QV threads are great lol. It's so fun watching people compare how big their e-penis are.

Also, I ordered the tv he wants for the room so that they won't have to watch them from a mere 65" from the massive distance of three yards.

Guilt really works on me. My aunt ruined me for years to come, so now I buy big tv's to get out of jail, or rather from the "There she is, my wife, she disappears for a half a week if I laugh at her face for having a four day hangover every time she appears. I also mention the word penis if I want her to go away " stage.

For the record. I'm never, ever to be left wth any relative of mine again.

We actually just got a Samsung 65" Q6F for the House too. I wanted to aim at Q8F but my parents are simple with tech so they wanted more basic. That and they are Asian, and have a hard time telling between Edge Lighting and Back lighting.

I can't say I'm big on comics but people should know Stan Lee. He has a big impact on a lot of things.

He lived so long to see the impact and we should be grateful. Apparently one of the statues I bought of Jill Valentine used to be owned by him but I have no way to confirm this other than the store owner that I bought it from.

Blah blah blah, what car are you buying?

[minn19]

Oh and I got a 65 inch Sony OLED. I like the more realistic movement and darker colors for movies.

My parents wanted Samsung and I prefer Samsung also. I'll admit the picture quality on Sony is a bit better since it isn't as fake but... you can turn it off on the Samsung.

QLED... OLED...

I don't like Bixby though. That crap is annoying AF.

I still haven't reached that point. in a month this stubborn ass no car thingy has its third birthday. Time flies when you're walking.

Well of course those things are important! And um I like buttons.

Dude I know absolutely nothing about tv's. I don't watch them, I don't care. I wouldn't know how to use our current one since I've put it on twice by accident. My fat ass is excellent at finding remote controllers from under it.

I've been a weirdo since birth, tv just demands too much energy. It's all that watching and waiting for words and all. The way people freeze around them. How ugly they look as the central piece of any home. I fucking hate that people need service providers to watch more stupid shit.


Now, I wrote that to feel better about my credit card bills. See if you can spot a theme.

June 2018: 200 euros, Amazon kindle.
July 2018: 220 euros Amazon kindle.
August 2018:110 euros Amazon kindle
September 2018: 90 euros Amazon kindle
October 2018: 200 euros Amazon kindle.
This month: well I've been in bed mostly thanks to stupidity so I should hit the usual 200 i manage to spend on top of that kindle unlimited order which gives me an access to classics cuz that just isn't enough!

Let's see if we can spot a nerd in the room, shall we.
