Use your money to buy a rental property and grow your money instead. Do that a few times and then move into commercial real estate. Do that enough times and then invest in a business venture of some sort. Eventually you'll be like "hmmm... Should I drive the 911 turbo or F-Type convertible to work today?" As well as "I need a fun whip- I wonder when the new F-car is coming out, but I really like the new mclaren. Too many choices!"

Ah fuck, repost.

Morning.

polobunny

As of today, yup. I give platelets and plasma through apheresis. All you get in Quebec for doing it is a pat on the back though. Do you guys get a money compensation?

Jamie's 08 TL

They compensate monetarily for plasma, but not for just giving blood. That's pretty cool of you to spend time donating plasma for nothing in return.

Jamie's 08 TL

Yum, Adam
J must be spending his day riding around in a 911. Jealous!!!

^ Pretty much guaranteed. I've issued a call to arms to our fellow Honda brethren to post S2000 pron in his progress thread or else before long he's going to be buying a Porscha finances be damned

Majofo

I'm too wrapped up in this car business.. decided to chill out again. Dealer called me and dropped 500 off the price.. he must think I'm gwairo.

He also had an RS5 on loan at one point no? shiettt..

Yumcha

Afternoon, folks.

Out all day running errands...groceries...but, highlight was taking Little Cha to a toystore to buy some LEGO (Duplo). When he wakes up from his nap, it's playtime!

Duh...I already did all that, that's why I'm like...hmm, should I take my TL today?!? or buy another S2000 and take that.
They ALWAYS want me to do plasma since I'm a big boy...fuck that...45 minutes instead of 10 for blood.
Porsche won't happen...I got tunnel vision and would be settling for a Boxster. I'll wait and get stuff that's financially feasible until I can afford a 2007+ 911 Cabrio with the same 3.4L engine...Turbo would be tits. But I doubt I'll ever be able to justify that kinda cash.

Maj...me too, I get so focused, it consumes me...I get tired...can't keep which car is which and who I texted and get annoyed with unresponsive or short responding shady fucks...then I go, fuck it...love my TL. That's simple. That red S that my friends will likely sell me in a few months, fits the bill and removes all doubt about history on car.

Yeah, John loaned me the S5 in 2013...now that I think about it, I think that's what pushed me to buy the S2000. That happened pretty quickly afterward. He soon thereafter got the 911 and sold the S5...(they're all leases...he currently has a jeep cherokee to keep the miles off the 911). His Dad is a friend of mine from work...him and I have gotten close so, so much so, that sometimes I/Betty join them for their weekly Father/Son drinks and wings night nearby.

Last Thursday, I joined...we dropped my car off at home as I wanted to show them the house. On the way back...at a light, he jumps out of the driver seat and says "YOU DRIVE"...I was like, NOOOO, that's a bad idea. He insisted. We pull up to the house and we talked again about how he'd mentioned loaning it to me. Basically, now that he has the backup car...he was fine with it, save for his HID kit on the Jeep giving him issues and he needed a relay. I happened to have one in the garage...handed it to him and he was like, Sweet. Keep the 911 for the weekend then.

As always when I borrow something, I pride myself on returning it better than I got it. I vacuumed it, washed and spray waxed, polished exhaust tips, touched up some chips...today, I took it out and took some pictures of it. Also made a video...I'll post to share the experience with you all. I'm not trying to be cool guy...

The guy's got a heart of gold. He enjoys things, but wants to share them with his friends.

J, you don't have to "try" to be the cool guy. Today, you "are" the cool guy! Lucky bastard you! That color looks really good on the car. And, that exhaust sounds just right.

Majofo

That's how I am too.. I think that's also been a big push for me getting a nice performance car. My bro lives close by, even took him with me on the test drive.

I know he'd love to drive a nice performance car. He's having his 2nd kid in a couple of weeks so he doesn't have that luxury. He drives a beater but loves cars. Huge TG fan. We always talk about going half on an Ariel Atom..

polobunny

Hey I'm perfectly healthy and it can save lives, I don't see why not. Only downside is about 2 hours of your time and some tiredness later that day and day after. I feel it at the gym haha.

Yumcha

Wow, what a treat to have the 911, J. Thanks for sharing that!

Jamie's 08 TL

Yes, thank you, J! I'm sooo jealous. But, happy for you at the same time.

N1h1l1ty

Awesome man No sound quite like the 911 I think!

Also this thread just gave me the warm fuzzies
I wish I had friends from university that were as into cars as I am... I have one friend who used to be a bandmate of mine that has an interest, but he's the worst kind of BMW snob

Jamie's 08 TL

No rear end shots, J? She's such a beauty!

TacoBello

I always feel like a piece of shit for not donating blood. Especially since I believe I've used blood before, during my surgery a few years ago (no idea if I actually did). It's not that I don't want to. I'm just not allowed

polobunny

No worries, I'm doing your part.

And yeah, white would be how I'd want the 911 as well.

Awesome pics, dude.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it.

Jamie's 08 TL

Imo, cosmetically, they look better than anything out there.. Lamborghini, Ferrari, you name it. The 911 has always been my "dream car"

I'd have to disagree there...I remember when all my friends liked Porches because their Dad did...

I was always into the Lambo...Dad loved the Countach, I loved the Diablo.

thoiboi

Damn you're a stand up guy Jeremy... We need more people in the world like that. At the end of the day it's about RESPECT. Props to you good sir.

TacoBello

J, want to borrow all three of my cars and my house? I'll show you where the laundry basket is too, while you're at it

Jamie's 08 TL

Don't get me wrong, there's other cars that look great and out perform all day long. But, ever since like the 1st grade, I've just loved the 911. My dad has had a 78 Silver Anniversary Corvette and an 04 BMW M3 Convertible, so I didn't get my fascination with Porsches from him. I guess it's just my taste.

I'm not comfortable with Justin not having the star. Just saying.

Jamie, I was saying that that's why my buddy's used to say...Dad likes it. Not you...I absolutely love it too...it's amazing. But while the Porsche is a major deep throat...the Lambo does that AND cradles the balls for me.

Thoi...
I'm old, man...golden rule, old school, be good and get good type shit...I appreciated borrowing the car, I know he appreciated the picture set and the car being cleaned. Seemed fair.
