If I chew my own arm off, that would be considered more sane than my actions with the shovel in the past week.

That action is reserved for getting away from your one night stand when you discover they are considerably less hot than the night before.

Only one arm. Not both arms. And no other appendages.

On other car news.

Seems like the G20 is mostly good news on all fronts. I really haven't read one that was against it aside from the usual MotorTrend bullshit. I will never stop hating MotorTrend until they drop their high and might attitude regarding how they see cars.

I'm honestly not surprised at all they keep bringing up Alfa Romeo Giulia and the BMW exe that worked on the G20 said exactly how I thought,

Quote:
"It is a great car, but it is not a BMW," says chassis integration guy Robert Rothmiller. In his team's experience, Rothmiller finds that although the Alfa's ultimate capabilities may be impressive, that car makes its driver work harder than a BMW driver should have to in achieving them.
I won't ever expect MotorTrend to drop their Alfa Romeo, Porsche, Benz dick riding. It's good to know BMW's higher ups know they need to change something on the 3er front, actually excited to see the G20 fully soon o.O

I don't totally disagree with you, but it was Motor Trend video that helped me give the M3 ZCP a real chance again. I figured if Camissa said something nice (really nice) about a F8X car it must be really improved and he was right.

Thanks again for the Justin/Auto Talent suggestion, I've been PMing him back and forth, I just can't decide what I want to do. Why am I so tempted to go with the Deep Sea Blue color???

Haha no problem. Justin is always there since he is even younger than me :P

Not sure. I, personally, have trouble coming up with the Deep Sea Blue image. It would look okay but I rarely see that color so.

My friend once texted me.

" Not a drill. Come to my flat and act like you're my GF. I can not escape but I clearly overdid it last night. Please."

A week later in a bar (again) he told me too much.

" I woke up, and I couldn't figure it out. I don't know how it happened"

No, that's not it, we have that too tho here it shouldn't grow as a tree at all.

It's driving me nuts and Minnie ain't helping cuz he's so Minnie ( I ran out of insults after I called a draining digging contractor who came to do an estimation of the project. It went really well. He wants to bill me 46k for the dig and I kindly told him to gtfo and then he told me that

"Bitch, I know this street and I ain't doing nothing for you Nazis. You can't buy land from this part if you're not a fucking Nazi".

Family rep shining through again. At least this time around I wasn't a slaughterer or a stick up cunt as the last time I was called after my pedigree was revealed.

I shit you not. My grandma was well loved.

Hahahahahahahahahaaaaa I managed to type it that way?

Oh hell, maybe my manly man internet personality stuck that pole in. I'm pretty sure I can't handle a sentence on any language right now, BUT I DID spend a day lifting up some 200lbs rocks from 6ft down.

...

...

Then I called the contractors. I'm assuming more of this will follow and 10 meters in even my cheap ass ego and my "hold my beer" attitude might be in real trouble.

Good day for me so far. My dealer didn't call me back all week about the wheel/tire set thing so I called them this morning. After saying there wasn't anything they could for about ten minutes they relented and gave me a brand new 437m take off set. Which, is perfect because that will be my winter set now. In the end, I give them credit for coming through and I'm very satisfied with the resolution.

Then I ordered a set of Midnight Blue (Satin Blue) HRE FF01 from Justin/AT.

Relations are confusing and difficult, it gets better with time and really getting to know each other. At least it has for my wife and I.

Do you remember your maintenance cost for the GT350? I was hanging out a bit with my friend in the afternoon and our conversation randomly changed to maintenance cost and I realized the Giulia/Ti/QV maintenance cost is higher than the norm.

Apparently in the QV and even the 4-cylinder has a 30k mileage, $2,000 maintenance cost you cannot avoid. Each maintenance does cost you, the buyer. That includes leases are out of pocket you cannot avoid apparently.

In comparison to BMW and Benz, if you buy the package which... you should (unsure on Audi), during 3-4 year period costs for oil change or any maintenance is free including Warranty. Yes BMW changed our thing recently to 3 years but we can buy the extended Warranty and have covered once again. Same with Benz.

LTDR; Be glad you didn't buy the Giulia. They charge you for everything. QV? Fine, it's a Ferrari parted engine. 4-cylinder? Hell no.

Pretty standard, but they don’t have “free” maintenance like BMW. Mine was a little bit higher because I changed all of the fluids to Amsoil etc. But, I also did it myself.

It wouldn’t surprise me that the Alfa’s would be higher with that Ferrari engine. Another reason I stayed away is it worried me a bit on the reliability front. I forget to ask the salesman about what looks like an extra caliper on the rear brakes. It looked more complicated than a regular brake setup.
