So tell me about your day.
I have some 4 deals pending with my job totaling some $130,000. I’m looking to crush it friday and wrap up a killer week. My company also bid on 17(!) Maserati’s today via a connect I helped make.

I had a dream I was stuck in Russia. Then I had to rent a car with my mom and sister and drive to Poland and then fly home.

Days that I go to my job rarely rise above “ok”. Usually hover around “trying not to blow my brains out”.
We added a new clause to our training contract that said no money is refundable and no housebreaking or ceasing of destructive behavior is guaranteed. I expect training sales to go down.

Neither-ex demo cars and some just VERY old units they want to move.

Coffee first, Mexican food for lunch after, nap time, work until 1030, one beer and catching up with Oppo.
Not bad, tomorrow will be a lot of Oppo because I'll be at work for 13 hours.

Pretty good. Got a GRE waiver for a graduate program I’m applying to, so that saved me some time and money. Also fired off some emails hoping I can get some decent letters of recommendation.

I had a client today refuse to sign out service contract (separate from our training contract) because “this is shady as hell. What do you mean if my dog gets injured here it’s not your fault? You expect me to sign this?”

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh I havent read that tab; that Miata might be Grabow’s though

The situation with my car is now half resolved. It should be done with in a few weeks, maybe a month. Then I can start using the car payment money to pay off some bills and maybe find a beater to use, preferably a truck or something.

My daughters with my parents for some cousin time and my wife’s out of town but I can’t work on my parsh cause I’m waiting on parts. My jobs been rough lately, can’t pin why.
I’ve been very into the Maserati Coupe with manual transmission lately. Seems unloved for what you get and apparently if you get one without the air suspension, pretty reliable . Doubt you guys bought 17 of those though...

went to work, then tonight took the throttle position sensor out of the 914. I think the contacts are worn too much causing a misfire while cruising @2500-3000rpm.
I bought a replacement board, but I’m nervious drilling out these rivits.

Took the day off work to attend a funeral in a small farming community in which my dad grew up. After which pretty much all of us went to the farm house m y grandmother lived in her entire adult life until her death in ‘05. Aside from the funeral that brought u s all together, it was a good day. We all made a lot of memories at that house and hadn't seen it in over a decade.

If it's just one Miata that's me. I'll be driving up from PA on Friday and crashing at the lake house of a generous Oppo on Friday and Saturday nights.

I’m going up on Friday too and probably getting an Airbnb. Can I ask which town the house is so I can look in the area. Roll deep to the starting line.

I bet there are some hilarious resale values.

We’re staying in Ashford CT. It’s maybe 45 minutes from the starting point and 2 hours from the finish line, but I’m trying to keep costs down. It will be a lot of driving on Saturday, and we won’t be at the awards on Sunday. If my host decides to open the house for additional guests I’ll let you know. We stayed there last year and did not get murdered in our sleep.

Well, I knew something was right when I was totally relaxed around him after twenty minutes. Usually it takes me three dates to get to that point. We spent the whole day together and then... well the rest probably shouldn’t be posted on a family friendly website. B ut he made it clear that he was happy to make this more than a fling.

50/50 - had a nice team lunch at a local hole in the wall Chinese place I like, then come back to find out one of my business partners has been blatantly lying about customer information to me.... and I have to come up with a way for him to save face and maintain the relationship and still fix all the problems he’s caused.

He definitely wants to see me again and we both want this to be more than just a fling. I just need to figure out how to play this cool and not let on that I’m quietly FrE a Ki Ng Th E f Uc K o Ut inside.

Don’t worry. He’s probably doing the same thing as you right now. Enjoy it!
That’s how my marriage started. He answered my ad, we had a good time, m et up again, went on some dates, and 10+ years later here we are.

It was alright. Had a great lift at the gym, then the transmission in my W204 C300 stopped working. Pulled the code and started researching, but damn these Benz “enthusiasts” don’t like to post around on forums. It’s so easy when something goes wrong on my BMW’s to find info online. I'm just having no luck with this Benz no matter how much time I spend researching.

Which comes out to ~ 59K apiece. I assume they are all very late model and low mileage etc.
There’s a regional Maserati dealer here who advertises wacky leases, but sometimes with wacky terms (5K miles, etc).

All 2017 cars, highest mileage is 10,000

Assuming they aren’t all poverty-spec Ghibli, that can hurt.

they put it on a cart, and run out the door. Throw it on a truck irrespective of all the glass.
