    That’s my normal thinking. 
     

    My only thoughts about a smaller vehicle was for a little easier time in tight spaces “off road”.  I’m not familiar with cost of parts on the smaller trucks/suvs.  Without and reason I just assumed they might be much cheeper to upkeep/upgrade.  Also as a way to leave open an option like a land cruiser, jeep, or other truck like object.  
     

    I’m always HOPING someone tells me I need to build a TTv8 trophy truck to get groceries so I like where your headed here. 

    You need to build a TTv8 trophy truck. It's the ultimate grocery getter.

  2. I've only been messing in it as far as trading goes. I've got a bit in Bitcoin, Doge, and Etherium Classic. I've looked at rigs, but just too cost prohibitive at the moment for me.

    Yes.  First gen German means warranty only though.  The engineering in the id4 is 1000x what is in the tesla

    IF you went to a full electric vehicle would VW be your top choice? If so, why?

    Lol.  Rated the best city in the country to raise a family in many times over.  Rather suburban for you, but lots of great suburbs near it.  Cost of living may make you shit.  What do you want to know?  My brother used to live there, my parents do now, my old house was 7mi out of it and I am about that far away from it now.

    Considering (at least per vids on YT) it's about 30 mins or so from Minne, I'm ok with that. It's not like I live in a major city, just a bigger suburb. I see the purchase price for a home there isn't horrible, but jumps based upon school district and how it's setup. I had applied for a remote position through a staffing agency in Minne, and while not what they wanted, they have a project manager position open with a company named Comm World. Full time and 34$ an hour. Not great, but finally getting into the direct role, and not just an additional duty isn't a bad thing. While I know MN is about 7% for income tax (at that pay rate), the other costs of living there are areas I'm unable to fill in the blanks on. I have seen it certainly seems cheaper to buy than to rent, but utility rates, gas costs, food, and other things I am ignorant on.

    I'm trying to weigh everything out. I am not jumping for jones to relocate, but I am having a bitch of a time getting back to work here, it doesn't look like I'll have custody (or even her visiting here) for my kiddo any time soon, and after 8 years maybe it's time for a change.

    I appreciate any help or guidance you can give.

    I've not done the Durango, but have ordered 2 CT5 Blackwings.  Will take the one that comes in first.

     

    I have yet to see one of those in person. From the photos it looks like an impressive machine.

    I'm always glad to see it. Glad you are out there furthering your craft!

    Trying to make a bigger name for myself and get some $$$ rolling in. The job hunt is mediocre lately.

    I didn't drive the E63 though.

    90% sure I am putting some money down on a Durango Hellcat and Cadiilac CT5 Blackwing.  Neither can I "buy" atm as there are waiting lists....but if, then perhaps, I will own one.

     

    A quick google search found a few for sale in stock too. I've seen the Durango Hellcat and it is amazing.

    It's just an invitation to the interview, would be the second one, I already had a first interview with them in 2018. 

    On one side, I can't complain about life here, in-laws are close, we're getting ready to build the house, the city and country is safe, I can spend time with the kid and wife instead of slaving away on a job. 

     

    On the other side, the pay has way more potential than here, there are other opportunities for all 3 of us on the other side of the pond (jobs, education, travel, hobbies). 

    I think the biggest factor would be distance from the in-laws. 

    A three year gap in interviews? Did you lose out barely to someone in 2018 and now they are circling back?

    Distance is a huge factor and important too. Hopefully whatever decision you make proves very fruitful for you!!!

    Pretty cool shots, nice work :)

    Thanks man. Love covering fight.

    Awesome.  Has to be fun to see in person and even more so to shoot.  Nice work!

    It's great to shoot and when watching in person it's less stressful and very relaxing.

    OMG, prices are SO stupid for everything now!  I looked at a '19 Civic Si with 6K miles and they wanted $29K.  Sticker on the car was $27!  I see people asking $2K for non-running cars.  Just nuts!

    I could use a new truck, so I priced out an XL F150 today.  It's the lowest model, doesn't even have power windows, locks, or cruise.  It was $40K.

    I've been seeing this everywhere, especially since the girl wanted to leave her Jetta behind. She got it brand new, at 80k and 5 years old, it felt like time for something bigger. Ended up in a 2018 Rav 4 Hybrid. 20k on the odometer, and $25k with a 100k bumper to bumper warranty. She likes it, I don't hate riding in it or driving it, and it'll save some $$ on road trips this summer. Win-win.

    Yes, because crypto is new, and there are all these fucking goobers thinking they are going to become overnight millionaires by yolo'ing their money on a shit coin.  Its really dumb as they have no idea what they are doing, its pulling money away from coins / projects that actually has a use case.  All the money that is in something like SHIB, should be in ADA or XLM for example.  DOGE is interesting as it has gained enough hype and traction that it could become a stable currency.

    DOGE has the potential if it can really rebound.....problem is the lack of cap; much like the USD.

    There are coins that are not really effected by him.  I amp slowly adding pinches of very strong coins before they are hit with the big hype.

    It seems like many coins are dependent on the actions of other coins. People moving money from a peak over to something about to skyrocket.

    Online turned out to be the problem. Found a local store that had one. Helmet tech has come a loooong way in the 13 years since I bought my last helmet.

    Fair enough. It has gotten insane and will only get better.

    Went a little nutty on my crypto buys this morning.

    It should pay off in the short term. The downfall is it seems like crypto is incredibly dependent on Elon Musk and whatever he says. When the man can skyrocket or plummet the market with a tweet....yikes.
