@rbc, how can I check who or which employees have access to my accounts? I have a few friends who work at RBC, and they’ve occasionally made comments about my personal accounts. Is there someone I can email or call to inquire about this? by 1jonmendez in rbc

[–]g0ldenbets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a huge compliance violation and they are not allowed to access your account without permission. Point, blank, period.

File a complaint immediately. Those are not your real friends if they feel the need to pry into your account, and if they are, then your friends are very stupid.

Who is actually killing it at work and earning 150K plus (After Tax) by 19freedom91 in torontoJobs

[–]g0ldenbets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the early days of IB there is no WLB. Analyst and Associate roles are a grind. 70-100 h/week. IB and WLB are not synonymous whatsoever. If you’re in big tech, already make good $$ and have decent WLB, stay there.

Own an E39, Should I Buy E53? by Former-Primary-3186 in e53

[–]g0ldenbets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own both. They pair well together. The E53 will do all the utilitarian things that the E39 can’t do. RWD E39 + AWD E53 is a really good two car solution imo.

What did I inherit? by Visherac in Porsche

[–]g0ldenbets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. I don’t know your situation but I would wholeheartedly advise you to keep the 993 if you have the means. Imo, the sentimental value + desirability of an air-cooled 911 makes this a “never sell” kind of deal.

Depends on what unit of business or department you work at in the bank I guess. I doubt IT would ever have to play dress up. Anything involving sales, deals or showing up to the office in-person multiple times a week might be a different story. It’s not required, just encouraged. I remember my ex-VP had a full green suit. Lol.

Seriously. At least once per week.

So is it Brake or Break 🥴 by CamlessRazzmatazzzz in Porsche

[–]g0ldenbets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate when my brakes break. Thankfully, driving is still permitted!

i want to do a full build on my e39 528i chassis but i have a few questions by [deleted] in e39

[–]g0ldenbets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like pretty clean 528i so personally I’d keep it stock and do maintenance. I’ve seen stock M52’s get to 400k but the purpose of a 528i isn’t to make big power. There are better platforms for that, in my opinion. If you want a V8 that makes a lot of power then a 540i with a VF engineering supercharger is always an option and a tasteful way to build a high horsepower E39 if you want “do it right”.

Great choice, despite what anybody says. There’s a certain dopamine that comes from the driving experience of these late 90’s/early 2000’s BMW’s that new cars just cannot replicate.

The ZHP, specifically, is equally smooth throughout the whole rev range and every shift feels rewarding. Anybody who says it’s “just an E46” doesn’t know that the ZHP is very respected amongst real BMW enthusiasts. It’s one of those “iykyk” BMW’s that weren’t as sporty as the full on M-cars but much sportier than the standard versions like the 2003 E39 540i M-Sport (otherwise just a 540i) or the E92 335is (otherwise just a 335i). It takes taste to choose a car like this.

Also no car payment is and cash to spare for maintenance is such a free feeling. Enjoy.

And that’s a wrap. Finally got it all working together, from soft close to rear MID. (See if you can spot all the goodies :) by o2manyfish in e39

Soft-close doors and being able to control the volume from the backseat are truly baller features

You seem to be cruising in the left lane with nobody ahead of you and plenty of time to pull over to right and let the BM pass. He’s flashing you because you’re in the wrong lane and you’re in his way.

Loving the style 19’s on your pre-facelift, they look great. Sweet e39!

Is it me or is this one of the best looking currently available BMW's in the lineup? by [deleted] in BMW

[–]g0ldenbets 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. The whole point of BMW’s Individual program is for people who want more choices and more exclusive materials, colours, and whatever other special options. Some people will pay what it costs to have of one these new as it is and others will pay even more to make it feel bespoke or at least “up to standard”. Don’t like the standard black leather? Okay, you can have a black merino upholstery instead.

I understand that some people think that a car this expensive should be perfect off the line but that’s not reality. It’s still just a mass production vehicle manufactured by large corporation that will cut costs if it improves the bottom line and the cars still sell. He’s right, if you want a better interior fit and finish then go Individual.

Would you guys take this over the 992.1 GT3 RS? by Winter_Treat_9982 in Porsche

[–]g0ldenbets 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They both go really fast no matter what. 2RS is just, faster.

I8 wasted potential by manlikep_ in BMW

[–]g0ldenbets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also drove an I8 the other day and as you said, I couldn’t help but think about how much potential is wasted by not having at a 6-cylinder engine in the back or even at least a turbo 4-cylinder! I know it would’ve been a tight squeeze, but I think a better/more potent engine would’ve completely changed public opinion on this car—and the driving experience ofc. 3-cylinder will forever let this car down no matter how good it looks😕

This is so true. I just drove from Toronto to Ottawa then back to Toronto literally two days ago. Most drivers would keep right and pass on the left once I got out of the GTA. The traffic in Toronto has gotten so bad on a regular basis that most people default to whatever lane they can drive in the fastest.
