Amazing....

The landskeeper/gardner for our HOA came into the property at 1pm, and they are STILL working on it at 7:38PM.

Just by looking at them from 2nd floor, I think they will be here till 8:15pm.
I hear lots of commercial lawn mower motor running everywhere as I type.

At least they made the grass/tree/flowers look real nice at our neighborhood.)

I don't think "Mi juevos es grande" would work too well. Maybe "El stroke-o my banana-o" would. Who knows. Guess its worth a shot.
Learn the language of love. And suckysuckyfivebucky

South Korea between 50-79 was one of the poorest. Their GDP was lower than North Korea around 1968-72 ish.

Try Seoul now, it is funner than Hawaii+LasVegas combined. One think I hate that place the most is the traffic. I would rather live in a boring nowhere with no traffic, than top 5 densely populated cities int he world.

South Korea in the 70's was really bad, too. No a/c and no clothes dryers. Uniforms got moldy as hell. Nasty on the skin. Then it would get to -40F in the winter. Land of extremes.

I guess it really depends on the type of people you surround yourself with. I generally go for girls with very similar interests and personalities to mine. Most of my best friends are female, as well.

One of my best friend's Instagram/Twitter/XBL description simply reads, "I like video games and Taco Bell".

I guess the coffee does effect me. I thought it did not. I can't sleep right now, and watching CNBC Eu. Too much free refills at Starbucks.

My wife used to play video games, but now she's addicted to phone games. This new One Piece game takes up much of her time.

Here is my First World Problem I have been dealing with. My current lease will be up in Feb 2015, and I am already building my next BMW. I have been to a couple dealerships to do some eyes on comparisons, and I know my next car will be an X6. Having a hard time choosing between a 50i M Sport, or a full X6M though. Tough choice, indeed. lol

Here is where my problem comes in. My GC has 3 bubbles in the front driver's side Run Flat Tire. Other than that, all of my tires are in great shape (except for the fact that they are Run Flats, which experience has tought me to NEVER do that again). I don't want to buy new tires for a car that I don't drive that often, especially since the season came around a couple months ago, I use the bike for most of my traveling. I know driving on a tire with bubbles can be dangerous, but I dont want to buy 4 new tires now, then end up having to buy another set when it's time to turn in the lease for my next BMW this coming winter. I can buy one new tire to replace the bubbled up one, but then the GC might drive awkwardly with the other 3 tires that have 19,500 miles on them, just enough tread wear to probably feel the difference with the new one combined with the old ones.

Basically, I don't want to spend money on tires. Not too excited on spending money on an outgoing car because I am already saving my pennies for my next car.

What do you guys think? Should I just replace the damaged tire and rock on?

Should I just replace all 4 tires, and hope I don't have to buy ANOTHER full set when it's time to turn the car in?

Or should I just drive it until the wheels fall off, (literally) then replace the tires when I turn in the car for my next ride?

What are your experiences with turning in a lease with the original tires from the day you drove the car off the lot?

I had to make that decision with my Z4. Left front had a defect which the dealer replaced, but they wouldn't replace both fronts, so I sprang for the other tire. It was worth it to keep the balance right.

Good advice! Thanks. I can just replace both front tires. Great idea.

Flew United 1st class to NYC from Chicago today. They swapped planes and gates (and concourses) at the very last minute before we started to board. We were supposed to get lunch on the plane, so we didn't eat at the airport. But the late plane swap meant the caterers didn't catch up and the plane left with no food. They didn't even have nuts. I questioned the stewardess, who hadn't bothered to say anything about it, and since I was the 3rd passenger to mention it, she offered us box snacks from coach. We hadn't eaten since 6:30AM and it was nearly 4PM, so we took the box snacks. Between that and the screaming infant across the aisle from us, it was hardly a 1st class experience.

Maybe I was wrong about American being the worst airline.

On the other hand, we're in NYC and the weather is decent. Time to make up for no lunch with a great dinner.
