Adam has to realize by now that him listening to all those alpha youtube life coaches was a mad move right?
Lost his lady...she has a healthy relationship with another dude and has a kid within a year which means he was really the
problem. Chasing cars and shit...but then hates his own decisions.
I hope he found what he was looking for.

I'm a new member, hope I can get some feedback here in general ramblings on advice for buying a used 3rd gen Acura TL.
My main question is if the owner doesn't know when it last had a transmission fluid change, how big of a red flag is that? To me it is because my understanding is all Honda/Acura V6 transmission are prone to premature failure if the fluid is not changed at regular intervals.
What other things should a used TL buyer be weary of?
Thanks

Taking this week off... Except for the days I'm working. And then on the days I'm not working, still going to put in some hours. So I guess it's really just business as usual. Fuck.

Anyone wanna give me some tips/pointers?
Say if I want to send some product out to a select few for product testing... I'd like to give them some type of compensation for an honest review. I'm thinking... Give the item to them at cost--or give them some type of discount? I'm not sure what the final cost of the item will be. What do companies usually do?

If someone approaches me out if the blue to do something like that, I'd generally accept a product gratis for an honest review. If I approached a company to buy something and they wanted a review, I'd think that a discount or at-cost price would be very welcomed.
It seems odd for a company to cold call and offer a discount on a product for a review; seems a little scammy to me, like the ol' "boss bought too many" speakers off the back of a truck deal.
Depends on the market though, for low-ish dollar bulk/commodity items, I'd say free makes sense. But for expensive boutique/premium products, then cost make sense. Basically, discounted to whatever price point means you're breaking even on the product and getting an honest review; not paying for the review.
