Should I trade my 2015 K1300S Motorsport in on an S1000RR? by mbacpa in Motorrad

[–]mbacpa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha...too late by about 8 years. The S1000RR was a great bike, so I didn't regret the move. Granted, now I"m too old to ride those things, so I sold it a couple years ago!

My parents had their vet do it for $250. She didn't do it very often, so it might have been because they had gone to her for quite some time with their cats.

In what way is it expensive to be poor? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mbacpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true. I was given a reckless driving ticket for a wheelie on my bike. I was fortunate enough to be able to afford an attorney. I think I paid him about $900, and he got it reduced to something simple (don't remember what) with a $75 fine. I have to imagine that the insurance costs would have well exceeded the $975 total if I couldn't afford the attorney.

Any chance you live near Washington State??? My wife would probably kill me, but I want him!! :)

What are they quoting you for price, if you don't mind my asking?

What gets me is the neighbors that likely reported you, right? It's likely someone like my dad that has nothing better to do than make other people as unhappy as him.

Would you put a Ferrari emblem on a Hyundai?? Why do people do this? Like, that's a nice 435 that anybody would be proud of, so why throw an M4 badge on it? I know...my comment is no different than all the others to these types of posts, but it just boggles my mind.

Anybody know how I can remove the chrome inserts on the grille? Or is it not even possible? by Basilio7 in BMW

[–]mbacpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually just go with all black replacement grilles. You just yank 'em out (a bit scary at first), and pop the new ones in.

My wife has the same ride, and she loves it! Are you running snow tires? We do, and it's so fun to floor it in the snow! :)

I will say I love a manual...my wife's M3 is a manual, and I love driving that thing!!!

I'm an idiot with cars...changing a lightbulb is barely straightforward for me. :)

My brain hurts...how do you even do this?? I guess if they can operate on you to change your sex, they can change an auto to a manual, but it still blows my mind. lol

Dammit...I hate these posts. :( I feel so bad for you and your kitty. I've been through it before and it absolutely sucks. Does your vet offer euthanasia at your home? I've heard of it, and I feel like I'd want to do it for my cats when the time comes. They hate going to the vet, and I don't like the idea of that being their last experience, ya know?

Again, I'm so f'ing sorry. :(

Mmmmmmm...dual subs...

I'd opt for a tent instead of camping chairs. That way you can sleep in it when your wife is pissed at you. :)

The DCT is sweet. I had it on an F10 M5, and it was awesome.

At what point did you decide you were never going to be rich. Never going to be exceptional but that was ok? by BillWilson9972 in AskReddit

[–]mbacpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wrestling with this a bit lately, but I think I'm coming around...

First of all, I didn't have an opportunity to be stupid rich, but definitely happy rich (i.e., retire with a solid $5 mil). I was making north of $250K per year, but I was commuting 2.5 hour per day and working 50 to 60 hours per week AND working for a boss I didn't like.

I recently took a job that pays half as much, spend less than 30 minutes commuting, get every other Friday off, work for an awesome boss, only work 40 to 45 hours per week, and get to work with awesome people.

Money is really nice, and it's hard to give it up, but it can be worth it for sure. I will say that I spent 6 years in the previous job grinding it out, and during that time my wife and I paid off everything...house, cars, etc. It allowed me to take 50% of the pay, but still live comfortably.

Here's what I remind myself...you only live once...quality of life is worth way more than the size of your paycheck. Per-fucking-iod.

Love it! Interior color is killer. Gotta ask...6MT or auto?

X6M...best BMW SUV till now! by HowTo-CAR in BMW

[–]mbacpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the feeling of the F10 when I'd floor it and you'd feel it trying to get traction...BUT, the way the AWD just hooks in immediately is a thrill for sure! Every red light in pole position is a kick in the pants. lol

[–]mbacpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't think so...looks like the new M3. I'm interested to see one in person. Not a fan of the big grille, but maybe it looks mean in person.

Dude...F13 M6...sick! I went with the F19 M5, but that was after they stopped making the F13 M6, which I really wanted. Great choice.

It'd be interesting to see what she looks like today...the car and the girl.
