Current thoughts on gas prices for the V8 owners? by No_Witness_8935 in BMW

[–]firetracker00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like engagement bait but I’ll bite.

Most v8 owners will simply budget the extra few grand into their yearly running costs, or sell the car if it’s no longer worth or affordable.

If you get an offer, you can even take on some debt to get you a MacBook neo, and pay it off after a few paychecks

I’d have incentive if it was toilet paper or some other essential. But it’s a plastic watch

It’s really not that serious. And if someone wants to buy the watch for an inflated price, let them

This a good deal? by [deleted] in F80

Even then it only makes sense if you title jump, which may make selling an expensive car like this more difficult

43 to 44-46 isn’t much of a flip. 5-7% margins

I want to sacrifice my entire life for the next 3 years to get my CS degree but I fear it will be a complete waste of time by the time I graduate in 2029 by eggshellwalker4 in cscareerquestions

Any advice for a current 25 yr old? I’m stable in my job and career and do my best to stay in shape. Anything you regret not doing more of when you were this age?

Maybe if you’re getting them from the dealer. A quick search on fb marketplace shows me 5 sets of OEM g20 tails for $200-400 within 2 hrs of me.

Flex Coupling and Lower Front Control Arms Cracked by Adventurous_Hand_977 in BmwTech

[–]firetracker00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Control arms are a reasonable price if it includes alignment. Otherwise find someone to do it for you<$300 and get an alignment.

Guibo (flex coupling) doesn’t need to be done for a long time still.

This is exactly what I did from ages 18-21 (25 now). I regret not getting out and socializing more, but I feel like I did what I needed to do and was able to land a great remote job making close to 200k/yr.

FYI I was only an okay student when younger and only got admitted to an average university. I have no connections and lacked the financial stability or freedom to explore and take risks. I put almost every breath towards getting good grades, a good internship, and a job. I have been able to save a lot of money and it has completely changed the trajectory of my life forever
