I hope my retirement portfolio doesn't have Fiat Chrysler stock. Ouch.

Thanks goodness I divested a while ago. This will be ugly.

When I rented a Caddy in Chicago for 7 days, they only charged me for 6, because of a free day.

That's nice, but in an ideal world, I would get the free day, not my employer, as it came off the charges that I expensed.

Tru dat. A voucher for a free day later on would have worked.

I washed my car twice yesterday and cleaned her exhaust tips, but when I had finished polishing the tips, the water dried... WITH WATER SPOTS.

Now, I've got to do it all over. And wax it too. Ugh.

Edit: this is probably an FML thread post too. Idea still stands.

Why doesn't America get deionized water out of the tap?

i'm 95% sure you are joking, but in case you are not, please don't take offense to this, because i don't know you at all, but first impressions tell me you seem to be exactly the kind of girl to make exactly that kind of statement

either that, or you just like playing up the image.

let me guess... you own at least two LV handbags?

Hahahaha!! I am offended! You don't know me at all! I get shit on for buying cheap eBay parts for my car and not paying professional installers and you think I'd actually own LV purses!??

LOL it's only safe to assume being a BMW driver..

Nobody should be shittin' on you for buying eBay parts! That's just being frugal lol.

I hope she has better taste than that.

My wife bought a new purse because her at-the-time-dream bag that she got was too heavy even without me putting my stuff in there.

Lol... entry level bag is prolly worth more than your wheels

Last time i was in Champs-Élysées, there was still a line wrapped around the LV flagship store around to the back to grab those great (full price) deals! I personally think they look awful, but they are still the icon of excess

dayum girl... quick wit! love it. Ok, so first impression was wrong. See... thats impressive you do all the work yourself and see ROI in getting value out of quality parts without paying needless markup for something just for the "name".

Again... please don't get mad, but you just have the look of a high-maintenance girl, but you obviously are not. But like rr06rbc said, just being in a BMW forum probably accounts for 95% of that perception. I'm wrong. sorry

Is there anything stupider than an ipad mini? Just get a large cell phone and be done with it. My wife's NOTE 4 is awesome.

MrPrena · 07-28-2015, 09:30 PM

LOL

Just like some Mercedes-Benz, some Mercedes-Benz can be real nice , but some are POS. Same goes with LVMH bags.
LVMH bags have more than 6 signatures (canvas and materials combos). Monograms are not the only Louis Vuitton out there.
Some will last lifetime, but some products will last only few years.
I personally do not like Louis Vuitton Wallets. Those don't last.

No room in the garage to park all the cars.

Perhaps a two-car garage would work better for you.
