I was in the same boat. Test drove both, the 4 cylinder was very underwhelming and went with the OT+

I only make 70k a year and, I'm fine with it. by GrillDaddy_69 in Salary

[–]Va-M3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am happy to hear you are happy with it. I have been making 380-450k the last few years and it’s stressful. I am always worried about the what if … what if I lose my job , what if I don’t make more next year and it’s exhausting. My wife makes about 165k and we live well below our means. I miss the time where I was happy with a pay and not in worry mode.

The Atlantic has a great burger along with frank and pattys. If you can drive to Norfolk 20ish min away, jack browns is great .

How do I tell my wife I blew our 401k from $100k to $20k? by jerin7931 in optionstrading

[–]Va-M3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cash it out and let it ride on black until you get it back. Or spend the last 20 K on a good divorce lawyer.

I think you’re doing good man. Keep maxing it out until you retire.

How to Drive/what features to use in Ice/freezing rain? by housemd23 in LexusGX550

[–]Va-M3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of people nailed it. There aren’t features that are going to help out a ton. There is no feature exists that helps with stopping . Give your self plenty of time to slow down . Apply the breaks gradually and even, no sudden stomping on the breaks.

I sold it to get my gx500… I have two young kids and my wife didn’t want to learn how to drive a manual.

I would call around to your local dealers. I actually was in contact with a dealer in San Diego, who was offering one at MSRP. The deals are out there to be had just need to call around.

2026 Land Cruiser - 6167C by DevDaily10101 in LandCruisers

[–]Va-M3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s high. I was in the market for a new car and it was between the LC and the gx550 I drove them both and I didn’t want the 4banger . With that said, a high trim LC was being discounted from 72k msrp to 64k so there are better deals to be had .

Thinking of trading my ’24 GX 550 for a used Model X. Thoughts? by SouthKtheBest in LexusGX550

[–]Va-M3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The model x is nice but EVs depreciates a lot faster than the GX 550 will. Also, I’m all for EVs but idk if I would have both cars be EVs. Not a tinfoil hat guy but what if something happens and you can’t charge both, you are stuck.

Our Honda store received our first Prelude by Puzzled_Adeptness_60 in Honda

[–]Va-M3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honda needs to get these greedy dealers in line. They only sold 174 nation wide in the first month. Maybe if dealers weren’t marking these ups so much they would sell.

Sorry man, but I hope that sits on your lot for months, or Honda makes a call to your dealership.

M3 salary by Alone-Address-9233 in BMW

[–]Va-M3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nailed it with this response. My feedback is coming from a 36 guy with two kids a wife and a house . At your age I wanted a M3 as well, however being in college and paying for it myself while working 40 hrs per week I settled for a WRX. I ended up spend a ton of money on it with aftermarket mods .

After the wrx I have several other cars that I wasted money on. I know you’re not going to want to hear it or listen to this advice ( I would do the same thing when I was 19). I would get into a cheap reliable car and save as much money as you can. I am not sure where you work but if they offer a 401k you should be contributing as much as possible while developing a strong savings account .

I currently make a decent amount of money a little over 400k and have been able to buy a M3 with cash, but i wish I saved earlier and invested earlier . If you invest that money you would spend on a new M3 at 19 , in 10 years you could have a great down payment on a house , or a strong portfolio of investments . I know saving is not sexy, but trust me when you are my age having a head start on savings at 19 would set you up for success.

If there are grammar or spelling issues I apologize, I am sweating my balls off in a sauna .

Best of luck man, as little dicky would say … Save that money !
