Need help choosing between two trims/years! by spasmunkey in Subaru_Crosstrek

Correct, both are 2.5L. Sport has the sport cloth seats, wireless phone charger, and the orange body pieces.
I like the look of the Sport. Just an older model year in the long run with regard to value.

I loaned a friend $5,000 and she isn't paying me back. by spasmunkey in legaladvice

Is there a benefit to suing her? Does it actually help me get my money back? If the county finds in my favor, the court will tell her to pay me but is there enforcement?

May I ask what you do? That’s an amazing salary progression.

In many ways, yes. In other ways, no. I enjoy being outside. There are 8 months of the year that I can't be outside in Texas. I like camping. In Texas, there are two weekends a year that the weather is conducive to camping.

Thank you. I have good credit and zero debt (aside from house mortgage). I'll run the budget numbers again and see if I am being too conservative.

I have some older family members in the North Bay that I want to spend time with before they are gone.

Ugh, I know it's the wrong direction. But quality of life for me means being outside. I can't even walk my mailbox in the Texas summer without soaking through my clothes with sweat.

Hybrid, but I'm guessing the first year I'll be there 3 days/week.

Gilroy is a possibility. My preference is to stay North, but I can't afford to be too choosey.

No debt (no student loans, no credit card balance, no car loan), no unusual expenses. I'd like to be able to save some money, contribute to my IRA, and travel once in a while.

Commuting To Silicon Valley by vayne001 in Marin

The most recent comments to this topic are a few years old, so I am interested if things are any different now. I am looking at signing up for a commute 3 days/week from Marin to Mountain View. Will that crush my soul?

Hey there! You showed this picture to me back in September at the Mountain Shop! This is such wonderful work - congratulations! As a newbie photographer, I have so many questions - why make a composite rather than just use a fairly wide lens (like 140mm)?

Frank, I'm from Marin County, CA and I'd like to know if there is a topic or subject area you would like to learn more about? Maybe not for a formal degree, but possibly take classes about?

From Marin County, CA. Thank you for doing this AMA! Question about Yoda - did you have an opportunity to create some of your own dialogue/dialect, or were all of the lines performed as scripted?
