I'm not in jail.

Also... there is a story to be told how 45 people turned into 185, and also how 104 turned up and math.

2 am. Not even trying to explain this all tonight

[Lups]

I still don't know what happened. I think my aunt got confused and ... hell...

Anyway. This story is worth the bother, but I'm still too wrung out to write it. The two people that enjoyed the party were my father in law and the only person I went to the mat to please, Ekku, an 85 year old former farm hand of my family.

So...what's going on???

It has come time to sell my car. The wife doesn't enjoy riding in it anymore since she had to have neck surgery and the seats head rest don't hit her right and it is not the smoothest ride.

Couple questions:

Has anyone sold their car out of state? How did the transaction go down? I was going to list it on BP but with so many out of state just wonder how that would go down.

Shipping a car? Has anyone done that?

I know about the internet/Craig's list scams about sending $ then the check isn't good etc.

Any recommendations on where list it? I have sold lots of cars, but they are usually less than $15k...

I would trade but I don't know what I want right now. Took a M550i for a 400 mile test drive...nice. They weren't happy when I brought it back with those miles on it!

My M4 was sold privately to a friend of a friend, so I didn't have to drive far as he lives a district from me.

My other two were sold to CarMax just so it was quicker.

Shipping wise I know you can contact a car shipping company that does this specifically to ship, or the buyer does it himself. Always wire transfer for private sell to make it safer. Maybe Bring A Trailer? o.O

minn19 I... despise Jason Cammisa so much. Not himself the person but just the way he view cars.

Never sold out of state, but I've sold a decent amount privately. I'd rather trade in even if it is for a less amount than deal with that crap anymore.

My wife/we've had a M550 for about 6 months now. It is a very comfortable fast luxury car, but as you know it is definitely not a real M.

I really grew to like a lot of his Head to Head or solo videos on MT. I even agree with some of his opinions. I'll have to give him the benefit of the doubt that either the car he drove was broke in some way or it was pouring rain on the freeway. I've never heard of some of the stuff he was describing in any version of the M3/4 I've driven. I really hope he hasn't resorted tp making stuff up to look good in front of the "cool kids" as they say. It is an especially weird review considering how much he liked the ZCP cars i his last video. The CS is really just a little bit lighter more powerful/a bit better feeling version of those driving wise IMO.

I'm fairly certain Cammisa is a better driver than most but that also skewers his reviews some what, it is the same with every other reviewer now a days. The 30k more comment is way off base because, lets get real no M car is going is going to be without it's option. Most F8x w/ ZCP will go closer to 80k MSRP (but probably won't be selling at that price point) while CS has been noted to go far less than it's 100k MSRP price point. Hell you got one, you didn't get it at MSRP either.

That is my first problem with that article. Some yeah, 100k is steep for what BMW did to the car, as you can probably do it for less by hand and tune.

Then the whole, car isn't as good a daily... ??? Just what reason exactly did he come up with this statement? No CA? Yeah that is annoying no doubt but hardly a major issue. What no center console? Tires can't be switched out? How many owners honestly track these cars? How many can tell or care about the steering ratio other than the very few who has track experience and has preference?

[Arcades]

Huh... I honestly thought that thread would devolve quicker minn19

NO

[Lups]

I'm still not in jail, nor do I need a lawyer but fuck my life!

I can sustain on 2-3 hours of sleep per day for sustained periods. It takes months usually before I reach the point where I need to knock myself out with whiskey to stay still for 6 or more hours.

This summer has been so excessively straining that for almost two weeks now, I've been in bed at 11 pm, and woken up at the earliest at 5 am.

Guys I'm trying to get you a full report on this, but apparently my former bimmerpost time is sleeping time now. I actually went to see a doctor for this already, since I was sure I was ill or something since sleeping this much just is not something I've ever done. A real doctor, not a doctor I'm related to.

" well, have you considered that you finally pushed your body to the max, and it is now recovering? Your heart, lungs and all of you seem to be okay, so maybe you just need all of six hours per day of sleep. Honestly, I'd send you to tests for the 2-3 hours per thing if you hadn't been tested for that already."

Yeah... I went to see a doctor because I sleep too much.

[UncleWede]

Freak. I go for just the opposite, I can't manage 6/night

Well, aside from the fact that it would never, EVER happen. He's just distracting the public like usual with his random bs.

If we can't lease Finland, how about just Sami land? What's the bluebook value on Bermuda? What are the residuals on New Guinea??

Oh gimme an hour to find myself back from the woods and I'll give you a status update.

[Lups]

Okay, I'll try to catch up.

So, I may have mentioned here before this but life really has been nuts lately.

Julian has had 6 doctors appointments in the last three weeks. Youd think by now I would've learned how to deal with this shit but I do what I always do: try to get so exhausted I can sleep at all, which in a way means I sleep not at all.

Well, anyway, now today we finally handled the huge, life altering, the biggest ever appointment. You need to hear that horror story, and I swear I'll get back to it shortly.

It's been a summer. I haven't had the time to do my actual work (today I was up 3.4%, overall 20% below water haven't paid any attention which for a day trader never works out) because everyone (read me) have been too fucking busy in avoiding this autumn. We've done most of the house, this week i built a sauna and tomorrow I'll start with the sauna's spa area. Why you ask? Well, it's the last place i have concrete to tear down.

My sister and i went to a rammstein concert. We had a family reunion and my aunt fucked up calculations on how many people would show up and I ended up cooking for a city when a small town actually showed up. We still have only one dog, and the bunny nowadays basically runs the whole household. We built a few fireplaces. I got drunk enough to actually have a no gloves match against a man twice my size in a weirdo ring like setup just because he is a nazi, and I don't like nazis. The funny part was that I took him to the hospital in the end. One doesn't need to know how to fight if you just drop the other one with a kick in the nuts and then break his nose. I picked the fight drunk, fought it sober and I indeed drove his sober ass to the er. He did ask me why i did that, and i told him the truth: he is a human and that I might be a bad pacifist but I'm not going to be a fuck up as a human.

A normal summer, but with no sleep no matter how hard I tried. A ton of nights after nights just looking at the pile of envelopes from the hospital knowing that this Friday the 13th is coming (though not knowing then the date cuz I was too pussy to open them).

So for last three weeks, knowing the date, I've been walking on glass. I texted a member of our ssott gang a few days ago that I haven't driven a car in weeks since the sleep deprivation is so bad and risking others just is not okay (if not nazis).

So today, by bikes mind you, we arrived at the hospital almost an hour early. We got the the right unit, and after explaining to my son how the x-ray thingy works and how he will not be subjected to dangerous levels of radiation and also after he checked that the machine had been inspected recently, it took 3 minutes to take the needed shots of his skull and then we had to wait all of 10 minutes to see the specialist who has from the day 4 of his life been in charge of my son's jaw and since we've known each other for 9 years, he these days writes me down everything, usually they send by letter the shit in the mail, but he knows how I fear for the letters so he hands over his main observations on paper straight away.

So we went in.

"Oh Julian, we have a weird day today, your mouth will be full of green goo and then yellow and then pink! You'll be like a zombie! Your mom will take photos for you to see!"

Then he made molds with greenish goo. Then he made my son bite to pieces of wax three times.

Then he opened a drawer and showed my son what kind of thingy he has to put in his mouth when he goes to sleep from now on. Then he told my son that he needs to go put mom to bed. "You can skip school for the rest of the day. You need to go take your mom for a walk and then to bed. Your mom is a bit weird."

"I can't stay home, I have an English test today".
(To this point everyone had been speaking Finnish, the doctor switched to english)

"Oh come on, you can speak English and even some finnish, and you're missing an ear and the nurse who took pics of your jaw said you translated perfectly the warning label from english to finnish. I'll write you a note. If your teacher doesn't know you speak english better than the average doctor here, he is stupid".

" nah, I'll go do the test. I'm sure you're wise and all, being a doctor, but I'm going to be an engineer. I need to be better than you so I can invent the shit you need to do what you do"

(Back to finnish).

"Hey okay, I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. You're a little shit, but that's the way I like you"


So that's how dramatic my first real "let's fix the jaw" appointment with j was. For this day I've been a nervous wreck all summer.

I'd puke, on me for being this pathetic, but I'm sure I'll do this again before the next friday when they put a piece of plastic in my son's mouth.

So guys, what's up?

[Captain Blood]

Wait! There are bikes in Finland?
