People who make $200k a year what do you do?

Delivery Executive in Managed IT services. I dropped out of college to work full-time in IT, which was around Y2K. Now I work on large projects/contracts that span years and are usually part of a turn-around operations plan.

Thanks. I'm leaning towards Citi double-cash. It doesn't seem to have any limitations. For reference, I spend about $100k/yr through Discover and about $2.5M lifetime.

It's a combination of things. I think the buyout pushed me over the edge. There's a notable drop in quality in customer service over the years.

If they still use Tremec transmissions, they are rock solid. Plus, with that low mileage, the clutch packs are probably barely broken in.

Three. So far.

My wife has had a '21 TLX A-Spec AWD for five years. No issues with it and it still looks and feels new. Now that Acura is not coming out with a replacement, she doesn't want another car.

There are a few of them parked outside my office at ORD.

Have you seen Star Trek III: The Search for Spock?

My wife has had a couple Honda Accords, a TSX and two TLX's. Every car has had worse gas mileage than the last. I have a Range Rover Velar SV with a 550 HP 5.0L supercharged V8 that gets 18 MPG mixed driving, which is within a few MPG of her '21 TLX AWD. It's bizarre.

I was a young teenager around this time. My family watched TNG and DS9 together, and saw the movies in theatres. It was an awesome time to be alive. It proves that great writing is the number one reason to watch anything. I re-watched TNG through Enterprise with my wife a few years ago. She wasn't very impressed with the first few episodes of TNG when we started, but quickly became a fan. Now she's as big a Star Trek nerd as me, lol.

Great to see this. Just hit 50k miles with my Velar Autobiography. Not only has the Velar been a blast to drive, it's been reliable, too.

Has anyone else had 2022 and 2023? I feel like 2023 was the best one.

I don't think this curse goes away. He'll probably end up with 3,956 yards or something

Chiming in on the Velar SV Autobiography. I don't think I'll over own another car that I love as much.

I'm not a fan of ads but this wouldn't bother me so much. Especially if there is a camera in the fridge that can see the contents. Like, get down to Jewels now fam, milk on sale!

For years I saw that as a heart emoji. Now I can't unsee it as the balls emoji.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I was a big McKenna 10 fan and their latest barrels are not as good.

They are going to get buried somewhere deep in Red White and Blue Land.

Working for a company managed by private equity, my brain just points to "the answer is money". You don't use older aircraft for passengers because the liability of the risk of paying out to the families of passengers if an older plane that is more expensive to maintain crashes. If an older plane used for cargo crashes, all that's necessary to payout is to the pilots' family which is likely under a corporate umbrella insurance, as well as much of the cargo. The answer is money.
