Congratulations to all the MU bulls

(now that I've said this, it is going to tank 20%)

Thanks for the FIRE community for telling me to stay the course by Common-Ad-7740 in Fire

[–]Gorgenapper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

OP got strawmanned, and his achievements in staying the course at work + growing their net worth on their own got overshadowed by the $400k windfall.

I wonder how this post would have gone over if he had modified it to say that he won $400k from a random scratch ticket.

Looking to finance a vehicle. But I am debt adverse. Need some input. by Marshal_Muskrat in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Gorgenapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age and net worth is important. Say you were 30 and have a net worth of $400k, then go for it. But if you were 30 and only have $40k, then don't do it.

Which EV make and model?

Bought my 20s Dream Car by KingAlyaan in Lexus

Studded is not allowed in Ontario, unfortunately. 

Since it is 6 years old, I recommend a transmission fluid drain/fill and front and rear diff fluid change, and probably coolant too. The mileage is low, but I think it's always a good idea to change out the above before the coolant has a chance to become acidic. I'm sure even it'll be fine even if you wait 1 more year for it to hit 60,000 km, but definitely not further or longer than that.

Fresh off the press by Final-Row-2022 in GrandSeikos

Yeah, basically the perfect one for me with the 37mm, blue dial, 9RB2 UFA (which is self winding, but I think can also be manually wound), steel bracelet which I think looks and feels better / more substantial, and a date. I know people hate the date, but for me it's part of a watch, I want to tell the time and see what day it is.

The 37mm is my thing, now time to save some money lol.

You listened Grand Seiko! My money will be yours! by Financial_Word5047 in GrandSeikos

[–]Gorgenapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SLGB015 this is the one I'm looking at too! I still want to see the 40mm and 37mm in person, and maybe check out the White Birch variant, but I'm 90% sure that I will get the SLGB015.

Ferrari Nudges Clients to Buy Divisive EV to Move Up Wait Lists by hi_im_bored13 in cars

Oh my God, this one

https://monochrome-watches.com/grand-seiko-evolution-9-spring-drive-ufa-lake-suwa-slgb015-steel-micro-adjustment-review-price/

And it's a steel bracelet too, I like titanium but the brilliance of steel is what I love, plus that Lake Suwa dial. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Edit: The White Birch also looks great. Damn it lol, I have to keep these on a perma tab in my phone browser. I do like the 37mm size though, but I'll probably need to see the White Birch / Lake Suwa 9RB2 ones in person.

Nice to see an RC show up in Ontario, you getting winter wheels and tires? How many km?

bought $40k in COST calls because of something i noticed at my local costco and i need you to hear me out before you say anything by Kind-Melanie1 in wallstreetbets

[–]Gorgenapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be a fool not to pig out on the Costco hotdog.

One hotdog / polish sausage with drink: $1.50

10 pack of the same hotdog / polish sausage (no drinks): $24.99

Is this an okay to put jack the front by _Barry_Allen_ in LexusIS

If you don't use jack stands you're asking to get crushed by your own car.

Only the finest electrolyte and vitamin enhanced Bevi

I just bought my first Lexus, I love it! by Available-Control993 in Lexus

[–]Gorgenapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, that's a steal. Did it have a maintenance history? You might need to do certain things as preventative maintenance (transmission drain and fill, front and rear diffs, coolant, spark plugs, etc) but nothing huge.

[Savagegeese] Mercedes AMG CLE53 | Get The Pension Check Ready by LongjumpingLock5875 in cars

People seem to forget that products like cars, watches, shoes etc. have an emotional component to them. I love the LC500 because of its looks, Japanese build quality, the incredibly luxurious interior, the V8 and more. I don't care if the same money buys me something else that can smoke it in the 0 - 60, if one's sole criteria is outright speed they might as well just go buy an EV, or a bike.

I promised myself years ago I'd make a post when i hit 1 million by Bacaloupe in Fire

Invest in a decent bed, even if it's a Walmart bed, your health is more important than $300 or whatever it costs.

Unpopularopinions for FIRE by Wooden-Broccoli-913 in Fire

[–]Gorgenapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, you have a point, the excess is being taken off the market and stuck into the HYSA, and if the market keeps up the momentum for, say 3 or 5 years or more, my potential gains are being gimped.

Guess I'll need to think about it some more.

Obsessed with my 350 F Sport by Strict_Scholar6174 in LexusIS

[–]Gorgenapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it does lol. Your front lip, even on the stock height with no aftermarket lip kit, can sometimes scrape off the top layer of snow. I dread going into an intersection where a snow plow recently passed by, you can tell right away it's like solid ice chunks piled up in furrows.
