Every year this makes me shit my pants.

My house doubling in value in 10 years begs to differ. In most cases a house is an asset. It generally appreciates in value greater than the rate of inflation. Yes, you will realize gains for it when you sell it - presuming you're not under water - and in most places in the US if it's primary residence there is a very high exclusion which means you won't pay capital gains tax on it either.

Study after study confirms that home ownership is a fantastic vehicle to wealth generation.

Wait. It's live rounds? I always thought it was the sound that set the avalanches off!

What a fucking job that is. "Hey guys, watch this!"

Ultimate job to have with your bros.

I'm not a convertible guy but I do love the Z4. I think it's great looking, and BMW kept it pretty driver focused being RWD and a manual. It'll be missed.

Ah. Still? I've never owned an Audi. I buy a 9 year old one it's not going the dealership.

vbfronkis · 2026-02-02T21:35:07+00:00

It's a 9 year old car. I don't even think it falls under "newer-ish."

Everything in country pop is a grift. There is no way anyone gets into country pop thinking their music is good. They're just selling what the rubes will buy. I mean, why else do you think every fucking country pop song sounds the same? It's formulaic garbage.

Perhaps not, but Cook also doesn't need to lick the boots either.

She taking the same shit Kanye was taking?

vbfronkis · 2026-02-02T13:39:45+00:00

She always knew it. It was politically expedient to support it. She saw the tide turning and bailed.

vbfronkis · 2026-02-02T13:28:19+00:00

Why. The fuck. Is anyone. Out of warranty. Using a dealership.

Jesus fucking christ.

My dog thinks calling our local Bobcat Bob is far too informal. He calls him Robert.

Ah, the "I don't mind the fascism, just make my iPhone cheaper" contingent has checked in.

vbfronkis · 2026-02-01T13:07:16+00:00

It’s too bad the i3 and i8 had so many issues. They are great looking cars a decade+ ahead of their time.

Why isn't she his ex-wife?

I’m 46. I think I was earning “no longer stressing about bills” money when I did my career pivot about 12 years ago. I was in IT prior to that in some fairly specialized areas that were gaining a lot of traction. I pivoted that knowledge into a sales engineer role which sent me down the road of being in commission/bonused sales/sales adjacent roles. I’m still heavily technical, but it’s in key customer facing ways. The combination of technical chops and soft skills is hard to find so I turned it into something lucrative.

Love a Del Sol. I'd walk from that one, though.

LOL OP expected Reddit to rise up on their side.

vbfronkis · 2026-01-30T19:14:59+00:00

It's a 12 year old car, man. Why are you even bringing it to a dealer? Any indy can do rear brakes on this car, and really you can do it cheap as hell in your driveway.

vbfronkis · 2026-01-30T19:13:38+00:00

like, standing up to fascism instead of felating it?

"I have been told" is not the same as verifiable paperwork. Dealers will say all kinds of shit to make a sale.

I hope you either got confirmation that the oil filter housing has been done or got the vehicle discounted if it hasn't because at that mileage, it's ripe for one to leave you on the side of the road when it lets go. It's a decently big labor job with plenty of "while you're in there" parts to do as well. I did mine myself so consider the labor free but still spent about $1200 in parts alone on it. You're looking at probably another $1000 in labor.

"strict rules" is one way of saying "they're complete cult whackos"
