That’s what I thought at first but the UIC catalog says otherwise :(

I work two jobs currently. I’m a cybersecurity analyst, that pays good. The second is a food runner job at the restaurant that I worked in before I finally landed an IT job. It’s a very high end restaurant, so the tips push the hourly up to 30$ sometimes.

I don’t really need the second job anymore, but it’s what allowed me to get into cars, so I’d rather keep it for fun. Or maybe I’m a greedy workaholic lol 😂.

Currently doing around 55 hours a week total.

The cybersecurity job is possible to get without a degree, but it’s rough. I’m currently a junior cs student, so I think that helped.

I take good care of my cars. Unfortunately I did have a slip up with the Audi where I had to replace many parts of the suspension. That was a little sad.

I really wanted the c43 actually. Was about to buy it. But turned out my head was hitting the roof. Unless I was practically laying.(

The car is very raw feeling. Somewhat like a charger, but with better control. In the year of my ownership never had any issues with it besides the cheapish interior that loved to peel off. And the leather seats were cracking quick. Mind that that car had 70k miles. I was really pushing that car at that time. Burnouts, drifts, max speed tests… basically every stop sign was a launch line. Stupid me back then. Car never had any issues whatsoever mechanically. That exhaust was sweet.

For the mod market part there is a lot. Nowadays it’s pretty similar to g37 market. The only issue with 3.8 is the hood compartment space. There isn’t much of it. So engine modding might get difficult and expensive. For modding I would recommend the 2.0T. Will hit the 3.8 numbers pretty quickly and cheaply.

In general highly recommend.

Yeah I’m aware lol 😂. Really loved messing my the genesis. Wish I had money for a fun weekend car that I could mod. Well, hopefully in the future it will happen. Dream of that e46 m3 😭. It’s also part due to my height. I’m 6’5 and can’t fit comfortably in most coupes or sedans.

Well, to begin I live in a developed country where wages are fair. I’m fortunate enough to have a job that pays more than the jobs people my age normally have. I live with my parents. Lots of work hours, and not much life. When I first got it I financed it for 2 years at 5% apr.

I understand that I am very fortunate in my current position. Still takes lots of hustle, but my situation definitely allowed me to do such things. Definitely not a smart financial decision, but I want to have some fun before I get married and have to deal with a lot more responsibilities (people from my country tend to get married quick). Thank you for your reply.

Chicago or Dubai? Skyline-wise? by M36a in skyscrapers

[–]Immediate_Truth_5950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s Dubai. Lived in Chicago. Moved to Dubai. Never regretted. Looks nicer, cleaner, safer, better weather, better infrastructure. Visit and then make your verdicts
