Kinja'd!!!

It sure as heck better not mix up Chrysler and GM. How’s everyone’s weekend been? Mine’s been good despite this egregious mistake in my textbook.

I had a textbook that mixed up the Challenger and Columbia disasters, so I feel your disdain.

If you think this is bad, wait til you see the resale value on that book, makes a Neon look like gold.

The weekend was ok.

Bought Shogun on DVD and I’ve been enjoying watching it for the first time in 20 years.

Been thinking about how cars have been my golden handcuffs for a good portion of my adult life, and that I may have made different (not necessarily better, but different,) life choices if I had not tied myself to so many car loans. I’ve enjoyed my cars, but at what cost? The cost of financial freedom? The cost of a career I enjoy, rather than one that pays the bills? I think the mental and emotional cost of buying new cars should be on the window sticker - Warning!! Buy this car and be trapped in your crap job for another 5 years! Guilt ahead.

But yea, it was an ok weekend.

If you fail it, you can get a job at Chrysler.

Financial Accounting, followed by Managerial Accounting next semester. It’s fun so far, I’m enjoying seeing the ratios that become apparent once balances are calculated.

Window stickers sure would be nice... I’ve got multiple cars in my name and am still working through classes along side that. The best thing for me is to keep smiling and work as hard as I can.

Life hasn’t got a reverse gear, the past won’t change but the future is up to all of us. I’m thankful Oppositelock exists because it’s a great community that helps me remember that. May the coming week be awesome and Oppo-tastic for you!

Better make it a CL65

I mis-guessed the model years, Wikipedia now tells me that the CL65 was a thing before the DaimlerChrysler split of 2007. So CL65 is the most accurate. Any future freestyling I do will be more precise to that point. Duly noted and thank you for the feedback!

Ohhh snap! Do you have to do the WileyPLUS homework online? What do you think of the exercises?

Nope. The professor makes the questions and puts them up on Canvas.

Well then you’re very lucky. The online homework from the textbook company is terrible.
