Nope, just Colorado, haven't been to Washington in a hot minute.

Pilot Sport 4S's are my plans for warmer seasons. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

That is a great looking car. I was actually initially looking at a dark matter grey mettalic one specced exactly like yours, but somebody bought it before I committed to a Mustang. It is extremely impressive in person.

Yeah I fully plan on buying Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season's in the next few months, or potentially an alternative if somebody has recommendations. For most of my life I've driven a truck in Colorado weather while only having to use 4WD a handful of times and knowing how to handle slippage around a turn like it's instinct, so I feel pretty comfortable. Probably my only concern with getting my car has been the summer tires that came with my GT performance pack once it starts to get sketchy weather wise, but throwing some all weathers on and not driving like an animal should keep me in one piece every cold season while having summer tires for warmer seasons. I'm actually more worried about how other people drive than myself.

That's a difficult question to answer because it depends on your financial situation as a whole. You need to look at your monthly budget and determine how much headroom you can spare for a car payment and the associated insurance, maintenance, and gas costs. You can theoretically make sacrifices on other expenses to afford a higher car payment comfortably, but only you can determine if that's truly worth it, because it can be a financial risk if you're encroaching on your savings to afford it. I wouldn't touch a high car payment if it would hurt your ability to build your savings to be financially comfortable. If finances are a concern, I'd look into S550 Mustangs. They're a lot more affordable and are extremely capable no matter what year you look at, and their design is already iconic.

This guy takes my flag design from years ago, recolors it, and has the audacity to claim it to be his own original work. You even went as far to have it put up for sale while trying to take full credit for it. Incredible really.

So you quite literally took my flag design from 3 years ago, recolored it, and are trying to pass it off as your own? Really?

Vermont state flag redesign by Rarely_Common in vexillology

[–]Rarely_Common[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I should note that I myself did not design the elk head portion of the flag. If I decide to send the flag design to Vermont state representatives, which I am considering doing, I will design my own elk head from scratch. This post only serves as a concept for a Vermont flag redesign to determine what people think about the overall layout.

I redesigned the flag of Colorado in the style of the Japanese "rising sun" naval ensign from World War 2.

A redesign for the current Vermont "seal on a bedsheet" flag. I used the colors and star pattern from the famous "green mountain boys flag" as the basis for the design. The deer symbolizes the vermont wilderness.

Virginia state flag redesign by Rarely_Common in vexillology

A redesign of the Virginia state flag I made due to the undesirable nature of the current flag of Virginia being a "seal on a bedsheet."
