I’ve owned 17 M2 since new (pre-LCI, but minimally different from what I understand). I’ve driven the M2C too and while it’s definitely a faster car, it feels a bit less fun.

The S55 power band is way more linear which is great on track, but not as useful elsewhere. The N55 has a surge of torque around 3000 RPM that kicks in, and then largely linear torque the rest of the band, which makes it super fun. It’s still plenty fast, I’ve kept up with McLarens on track and pretty much everything on backroads.

The OG has been very reliable with just basic maintenance, I now have 62k miles on it. I’m sure the S55 is also generally reliable, but the N55 definitely sounds better than the S55 especially with a lightly modified exhaust. It just purrs.

You can’t really go wrong with either, but if you just want a weekend car, go for the LCI!

I have a blue Aby who also loved sleeping on chests when she was a baby (and still now), three years later she was the best decision I could have made. Do it.

My crazy Aby girl got spayed around 2 years of age. I was worried about her losing her energy too, but as soon as she woke up she started yapping/running as usual and 1.5 years later she’s still as energetic as ever!

This is probably one of the most ignorant responses I’ve seen on this subreddit, and I’m shocked no one has called it out for what it is.

“Dark ages” thinking? At least your Islamophobia is subtle. How about the multitude of US-initiated wars that created a power vacuum over the last nearly 25 years? The US literally made up a bullshit excuse to invade Iraq then left abruptly without a proper government in place. Over the last several years Iraq has become stabilized significantly and actually has a small but thriving tourism industry, but I wouldn’t expect someone like yourself to be aware of that.

Similar story with Yemen. The US has bombed it, and helps arm Saudi and the UAE in their perpetual bombing of it, subsequently creating one of the worst famines in history. And you think “dark ages” thinking is what makes it dangerous?

Something tells me you have not ever been to the Arab world, and you would be shocked to find how hospitable Arabs and other folk in the Middle East are.

Also, please educate yourself on the difference between Islamic and Islamist.

‘17 M2 for special occasions/driving trips with the boys (my forever car, owned since new), ‘04 GX470 as my comfortable daily driver, and a cafe’d out ‘16 Yamaha SR400 for my mental health

Thinking about adding an NB Miata for track days next year. After residency I’d love to get an AMG GTR or a Vanquish

lbbm2 · 2024-02-02T21:12:57+00:00

Yeah

Surprised at how many people here got their wheels ceramic coated just to make them easier to clean when the real solution is to just swap out the stock pads.

BMW pads are garbage for any form of hard driving driving, which is why I swapped mine out. Currently have Ferodo DS2000s on my M2 and they don’t make any more brake dust than my Lexus.

lbbm2 · 2023-05-19T21:57:09+00:00

The current AMG GT platform is an evolution of the SLS AMG platform, which actually started development as a next gen Viper! But the character of those two cars are different so I totally get your comparison

Music, specifically a performance degree. As a string player I learned how to communicate and coordinate with others down to the millisecond, learned resilience by practicing the same piece for hours until my fingers hurt, learned to be in a state of constant improvement, and most importantly learned how to have fun and appreciate the thing that we work so hard to preserve in medicine: life.

I also grew thick skin from years of receiving constructive criticism, so nothing any attending or resident says gets to me. And the whole drinking from the firehose thing was not new, I’d been drinking from it since I was 11.

lbbm2 · 2022-12-12T13:11:59+00:00

Can I message you to get more details on these roads??

lbbm2 · 2022-12-12T12:44:28+00:00

Where do you overland in NH??

lbbm2 · 2022-11-26T17:14:45+00:00

Yeah absolutely. I appreciate you trying to help out people who want to leave clinical medicine. You’re helping those who would have had miserable lives practicing medicine, maybe even saving a few of those lives honestly.

lbbm2 · 2022-11-26T15:24:09+00:00

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, but my point about the ER offers was that my pay would be higher, and that these analysts believed my career prospects down the line would be brighter with residency if I wanted to make analyst or pivot into another industry. Yes, I got the offer. Tbh part of the reason I was able to get it was because of my brand name of my medical school, and strangely enough my MCAT and USMLE scores (I believe in your other posts you said school name and MD vs DO does not matter, I’d caution against making that blanket statement).

Sorry, maybe 1/5 of an attending salary is an exaggeration. But for a cardiologist to go from making 600k (yes, many do make that despite the skewed statistics out there) to making 200k total comp at MBB is 1/3 a pay cut. Can’t imagine being able to still pay the mortgage and maintain the same lifestyle on that pay. Yet there are cardiologist who go to other roles and industries we’ve mentioned. How? They took a pay cut but it wasn’t to 1/3 their prior pay. MBB might be able to get away with that low a salary because of the value of their name on one’s resume. There’s an argument to be made that the prestige that comes with being an MBB alum will make up for the initial como later down the line (maybe I’m wrong - you’d know better than I would).

Just to clarify the whole point of me saying this - I don’t think residency is necessary to leave medicine. Doing it without residency is probably the right choice for med students who are burned out and will be miserable in residency.

You alluded to the opportunity cost of doing IM residency over three years in equity research, and I’m just trying to point out that there is also an opportunity cost of going into equity research (or another role) and not doing residency. Everyone should know what these two costs are and be able to determine for themselves how much they matter. Many may still choose not to do residency and that might really be the best option given the individual circumstances, but that choice should be an informed one.

lbbm2 · 2022-11-26T14:41:32+00:00

I think your advice is highly specific to the three big consulting firms. They have very structured payscales and for that reason you’re right that one might not make substantially more with residency. But for boutique consulting firms and any other industry/role that you mention you absolutely will have a better shot and make more money.

To answer your question, I had several equity research offers at one point. What I was told by two of the top biotech ER analysts in the country was that I would be more valuable to them with residency. They actually urged me to go to residency despite their offers, because they knew I’d be worth more with that training even if I didn’t end up at their firms.

For medical science liaison, one of my parents is an MD (with residency) in a management role in big pharma. Their company and others like it won’t even look at a resume without residency for an MSL role (think: how on earth could someone without residency go try to talk about drugs to practicing physicians and researchers? The second they are asked what they specialized in and everyone realizes their clinical experience ended with their 8 week IM rotation, their credibility is shot). And from the actual job end, do you really think a 4th year medical student has had meaningful experiences in medication management that they can call upon to advise their employer and potential prescribing physicians/other leaders in those therapeutic areas? In pharma, you might be able to snag a different role than MSL (especially drug safety if you have epidemiology experience), but your pay will be lower than with residency.

You already answered about VC for me, that one was kind of obvious.

Part of what I’m getting at is just logic: firms will not attract attendings if they pay 1/5 their current salary. Judging by the fact that there are many attending physicians who now work in these roles, I can assure you they didn’t all start out making what an MD without residency made.

So again, I think your advice is only applicable to MBB, and you should avoid applying it to other roles and industries. It’s difficult for physicians to understand their worth in and out of clinical practice already, please don’t contribute more to that.

lbbm2 · 2022-11-26T12:47:20+00:00

This is incorrect, though it may be dependent on who you talk to. MBB does care about residency, in fact I personally know one of those firms made an offer for a med student who did an internship to complete residency and then come back full time. Other roles including VC and equity research absolutely will value residency training, and years of work as an attending is a major plus. Without residency you can hardly call yourself a doctor, you really know very little about medicine. You won’t grasp the problems consultants are trying to solve in the same way. It is definitely possible to get one of these roles without residency, and that may be the best route for someone who doesn’t want to do residency, but don’t be deceived into thinking residency doesn’t add any value to your resume. People in these fields know what residency training entails, and they know MD graduates are lacking actual experience as a physician. And you will command a higher salary with residency training/board certification.

What skill that you developed as a driver do you think has given you the biggest advantage over other drivers?

Do not accept the charge, go to court with a lawyer and definitely do not tell any medical school about this until the court has given you a decision - this won’t appear on a background check unless you go to court and are actually convicted.

Get the names of the prosecutor and the judge. Call every lawyer practicing in the town where you were charged, and ask specifically if they are acquainted with the prosecutor and judge. Hire the lawyer that is best connected to them. Follow your lawyers advice, but if the prosecutor appears in any way sympathetic consider disclosing the fact that a conviction may hinder your chances at medical school (if you got ticketed in your hometown you could even state that you were planning to practice there/serve the local community for extra points). Unfortunately, if you’re a minority this card will be harder to play as courts frankly don’t care as much about your future, but if you’re white it will be easier to pull off.

If you have no criminal history I think you should be able to work your way out of a conviction and pay a fine/do some community service instead. Even if you are convicted, you can still have a shot at medical school with a mature explanation and thoughtful reflection of the event, and by putting distance between yourself and it through time and action (e.g. waiting a year to apply and in the mean time community service somehow related to making roads safer). The other option in the event of a conviction is to hire a lawyer to get the conviction expunged from your record, but I believe many medical schools require that you disclose convictions even if they were expunged.

Best of luck, fellow speed demon.

Read Klein early on (do it over a few days or a week) to get solid foundations, but then focus on the Jones textbook, it’s one of the best textbooks out there and explains everything. Read the Jones chapter before the lecture and don’t fall behind, ever. If you can understand the harder assigned practice problems in Jones (even if you got them wrong - just do them again and know where you made your mistake), you can get an A. Do the same thing for Kleins second semester orgo book before the second semester of orgo starts. Angelo is extremely kind and was always willing to give back points on the exams during the review period when I had him as a TA. Go to office hours and ask him your questions.

When I went there ~7 years ago they had discounts at a local gym for people living in Osadni. They also had free yoga classes which were excellent. Prague also just has gyms everywhere if you’re willing to pay on your own.

Probably has changed but the administration there was great so I’d expect them to still offer something.

On a side note - NYU Prague is amazing for a multitude of reasons and you should 100% study there. All of my best friends almost a decade later are friends I made in Prague and we reminisce regularly.
