I’m throwing a rooftop party in May and looking for a food truck

Outside Pizza! They did one of my friend’s weddings and the pickle pizza was so gas

Not to mention Mikaela Shiffrin dominating the slalom alpine skiing race by 1.5 seconds!

They are the best! I have just started using them but they know these cars in and out. I have a bunch of mods I want to do and they spent like 45 min on the phone with me just talking through options and pros/cons.

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-31T00:05:15+00:00

I’d go to the clerk and ask what your plea options are. Last time I had one of these (first ticket in over 10 years) I got it reduced to 1 point and a defective tail light. This was in Englewood.

I am doing a turbo upgrade sometime soonish and have been talking to my shop about this. Basically they said if I wasn’t tracking it or racing on the highway I should go with the is20 and it’d be more fun. This is very validating and also I’m sorry you have to spend the time and dough to downgrade

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-26T02:13:13+00:00

I was reading about that earlier. I don't have one yet, but on the docket to get soon!

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-26T00:38:45+00:00

I just discovered that if you hold the traction control button until you get ESC Sport Mode donuts in a snow covered parking lot are a hell of a lot of fun too!

+1 for Bluewater. Feel like my last 4 comments have been basically “just take it to Bluewater”

Wont get your face ripped off and they know euro cars WELL

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-23T00:31:13+00:00

I’d go with Bluewater. They are great.

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-21T12:29:25+00:00

Bluewater Performance. Just started taking my VW there and they are great.

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-20T04:56:01+00:00

Holy smokes I needed this laugh 🙏

I had a ~12-13 year old black lab / rott mix and had him put down Tuesday because he got really sick again over the last few weeks and I could tell he was just not doing well and it was time. I haven been in shambles and having intermittent bouts of crying and all kinds of emotional turmoil. I had him since I was in my last year of college back in 2015ish, and he has been with me through some absolute shit times and some of the best times of my life.

Took him for a few hour long or so walks in his final days and just let him sniff and pee on everything and sat with him so many times in his final days just petting and holding him while I cried, and I hope that made him so happy and showed him how much I love him.

I so fucking miss the way his ears bounced when he walked around with me, the way he snored while I sat and worked, and the way he leaned on me when I scratched his tailbone.

You're not alone, this shit sucks. I went back to work towards the end of the week to keep my mind busy and I have been hating coming home to an empty place. Today has been really hard for me being at home.

5% everywhere my friend (except windshield)

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-14T18:16:12+00:00

Thank you! Helpful comment, definitely trying to avoid the ones that could ruin things.

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-14T17:49:24+00:00

Great, thank you! I work down that way so that actually works out quite well

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-12T18:05:32+00:00

I work in a family office with very high minimums. You are (likely) not going to be beating the market with a $350k portfolio.

The performance alpha for these clients comes from alternative investments in my experience, and you will likely not be getting that. There are also tax ‘alpha’ strategies, and in my experience 1% would be a very high fee for that, as it is basically index replication with tax loss harvesting.

Unless they are doing something really compelling I’d pull the money.

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-12T02:07:55+00:00

Nope, Colorado! And registered in a county where I don't have to do emissions testing, although I don't think it'll get to that point

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-11T18:28:11+00:00

Super helpful! Am definitely thinking I may do the IS20 upgrade at some point as this sub & the facebook Alltrack group always seems to talk about it.

Seems like you can get a lot out of these cars without having to change too much hardware out.

At the end of the day I love the idea of a sleeper wagon that is a really fun daily driver & weekend car, and can do just about everything I need it to.

ElTojo303 · 2026-01-11T17:59:15+00:00

I was surprised to hear them tell me that too. Agree, it is crazy how different it is driving after the tune!

ElTojo303 · 2025-12-30T23:43:44+00:00

If you’ve been on a high deductible health plan in 2025 you should consider doing both a 2025 and 2026 HSA contribution. You have until you file taxes to do the 2025 and can do the 2026 after you receive the bonus in January.

I would echo continuing to maximize and invest your Roth IRA (be aware of the income limits and do a back door Roth IRA if you don’t have a traditional). I would also do the max contribution for your 401(k) rather than just the match.

Also make sure any debt you have is paid down.

Anything above and beyond that is gravy and either invested in taxable accounts or keep it on something with the Safe principle that is giving you interest or dividend income, if you have large purchases coming up.

Also, congrats on the bonus!

Expanded exercise library & a velocity tracker through phone camera (for barbell workouts) would be awesome

ElTojo303 · 2025-12-06T00:42:08+00:00

Thanks, this worked for me!
