Sorry to bother everyone, but I have an odd question. I currently drive an 02 VW Jetta 1.8T. I love the car but she has about 105k miles on her and is starting to show her age as well as there are attachments to the X wife (her and I bought the car together and it was her car for a few years) and well it's time for me to look for a new car. Here are the facts I work 15 miles from work. I live in Northern NJ. I have a garage for the bike and the car. I ONLY DRIVE stick shifts. And I'm a single guy. I can afford $25k-$30k So I'm looking around. Initially I was going to buy another VW new but then I found the certified BMW program and noticed a number of well appointed 330i 4 doors in the price range I was looking for. I've driven my brothers 3 series two door and found it to be a very nice drive. Quiet responsive and well appointed and honestly a joy to work on with respect to simple maintenance of oil changes and what not. I left my name and number with the dealer and what I was looking for and I got a call the other day. They have a 2005 porsche boxster s on the lot. Sick with all the bells and whistles and they are having a hard time selling her off. She only has (I kid you not) 11k miles. I told them I would take it for a test drive and see what I thought about it..... Now I've driven Boxsters and 911's in the past. I love the 911 but I don’t' have that kind of cash on me and well I'll be honest I would kill myself in a 911...never take your foot off the gas left foot break and slide around corners like Rickey Racer? HA! I found the Boxter to be a bit more civilized and well prone to killing me. BUT this car would be my daily driver? Would it work? Thoughts would be greatly appreciated. And yes there will be various small wang jokes but can we hold those off till later. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

micduran How do your evaluations work out? I'm sure if you are writing code it's a simple it worked or it didn't. How about if you are more of a "soft" field? And how do you deal with the social isolation? I may be different, but at the moment I'm in a very small office of only 10 folks and I'm kind of going through the...where is everyone....panic attack. Then again I am a social person. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

I was in need of a moment of peace. Just one minute where all the world at least looked to be stable and at peace. I watched videos of you guys skydiving and you all looked so happy and I wanted that...just for a moment. And I have to say, yes for that one moment that one minute of free fall i am at peace with the world and all is well. Thank you Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

On a conventionl coorperate gig I would feel funky. But I think that may just be me. My fellow classmates were split. A few actually worked from home and didn't have a desk and others had the option to work from home. The ones that did indicated that over time that their social and interpersonal skills had degraded and were unsure if it was a positive part of their career or not since they were significantly out of the loop as to what was going on with the companies they worked for. I could never do it. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

100% Persian. To report I got a text this morning that my scientist friend has been on another date and now that she is more chilled and less....how can I put it putting a guy on an interview and grilling him non stop....she is actually having a good time. I guess a simple little talk about, "Darling in the real world there are 50% women and 50% men and you can't treat these guys like you treat the guys in your office." really helped! -

Entertainment When I'm serious you will note it via my context. But as I said....I'm not a big fan of blown egos and I call people out on it. In the field of engineering and science where there are 4 girls per 100 guys....there is some seriously blown egos and I enjoy pointing and pricking and popping Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Don't forget misogynistic. Hum...I'm ok with being shallow but a misogynist now I'm a little offended. I like girls! Hell one can argue I'm a little addicted. I just call out blow egos. Which may offend some. If you are the only girl in a group of guys and you have a bag....don't ask me to carry it because you are the only girl. If you can carry it....do it. But I will hold open the door for you. Case in point this chick. She is really a nice girl, well educated and not a bad body. She was just expecting so much from her dates. She is a technical girl and so she attracted technical guys but was disappointed in that some were not as exciting as she wanted or as accommodating. A little talk about how technical guys operate in the real world and how normal girls over 30 have to hustle a little more in the real world compared to technical university and now all is well -

Equality just sayin... And you would bend over backwards for a chick? Really? Why? I guess divorce will do that to a guy.... I use to bend over backwards....and in the end...I was bent over. Thanks but no thanks! It was not fun. Now as for out engineering chick who was on the dating web page, she even uploaded a nice photo of her self and things look good for her. Just had to tamp down her expectations with respect to dating due to increased competition of the real world compared to the office which she works in and where she went to school.

I have told a girl she had the eyelashes of a Giraffe that got me laid. Then there was this other girl I said had the grace of a gazelle....that worked too. The legs of a horse.....maybe if she were French? I mean we do compare cars and bikes to women. Any how....

Wow wow brother....horses are beautiful intelligent animals. Calm down man...breathe in....hold it....and out.... Yeesh! See thanks! Now I'm trying to be a dick and you make me come out and be all nice! But really...I have to admit it is kind of funny...girls who like "take charge" kind of guys do seem to be hotter and happier.

I wasn't but I am now. Just don't have the cash to afford the gator boots or the carry-all at the moment. How can I put it without sounding like a dick? Well....from what I've seen the more attractive the woman the more you have to treat her as if she were a horse. Ever ride a horse? A horse wants you to tell it where to go. It knows it's bigger than you and can more or less kill you. But it is happiest when you are telling the horse what to do and where to go. And well attractive women.....maybe it's the long legs thing....actually get off on that. Though you may disagree and it may not appear as such but I'm willing to bet that his really hot wife, though she complains incessantly to her friends, is actually quite content and actually gets off on her husband flexing control. A prime example of this are women who chase after meat head tools. In a very strange way they are very happy in their choice. The opposite would be "collectors" aka I would guess half the chicks at any drop zone or engineering office. Sure they got a dozen guys on their 6 but look at them....call them out on it and they explode. As for me, I work very hard in being a dick yet fail at it. My innate nature of being supportive and one who enjoys building people up comes in and just screws shit up. Instead of saying, "You showed up to this date wearing that!" I say "Nice outfit." And before you get all upset...second to telling a girl I'm an engineer the first turn off is being down right smitten over a girl. Sorry doll....you girls are just a little nutty. But you are cute thus we guys forgive you. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
