LOL! I know, right?:p

And I'm trying to understand how a Regional pilot can afford his lifestyle (cough, mom..cough..daddy)? You know, the *cool rad* 2020 BMW X5, nice house(condo) with the nice furniture and complete with the high maintenance girlfriend. Drinking $5 energy drinks and designer protein shakes etc...

I mean, Jeezahs.....I couldn't afford his lifestyle now with what I make.:rolleyes:
 
There were two other American Eagle train wrecks. One was Chavez, from what I heard it was stop posting videos or be fired. The other was some crazy guy literally a few screws loose. I forget his name but the company dropped the cease or be fired hammer so he removed all his content.

I hate to admit it man but in our present day culture being "hawt" is much greater social currency than being a pilot. This guy figured that out: hot guy first, pilot second.

Ugh. Social media will be the death of our species. Everyone now has to show off their new toys and lie to themselves and their viewers that they're happy and living their best life for clicks.

Seriously though if I learned anything from @Derg or @SlumTodd_Millionaire never buy a German car. Lease, maybe. Maybe? Because when its warranty is over after 3-5 years, it's expensive. No thanks. Nice cars though. But, I'll stick with Japanese or Korean cars.

Once you approach the end of your BMW extended warranty, if purchased, sell it quick because your resale will drop.

And for good measure.

An absolute money pit. Don’t let Mr. Sbarro try to convince you otherwise.

Um, isn’t that what I said? 10 yrs or less. Factory warranty is 4 yrs. 1 additional for CPO. And then an extended warranty for another 2-5 yrs. My BMW is a 2011 and I’m about to sell it.

Hitherto reliable Asian hatchback goes “lol,” and the only issue I’ve had with it was a consumable part.

Seems like it’s not to difficult to tell who is massively in debt on Facebook/Instagram. No way that many people can have ALL the NEW toys in their early 30s. My parents probably make more than most, they have nice things but keep them a long time and it took them until their 50s to be where they are.
 
Don’t get me wrong, I love all three of my BMW’s as there’s nothing else that drives like it, not even my Tesla. However, the newer models are absolutely a nightmare to do your own maintenance on and break a lot. I went through two sets of turbochargers, something wacky with VANOS a few times, random hoses, radiator twice, shoot, something as simple as a the windshield wash fluid pump will murder you with the required gymnastics (labor labor labor!) to replace.

And it ate run flat tires like a fat man on Wing Tuesday.

“Hey guys, what’s up, it’s (whoever) here with a bunch of (expensive) junk I just put on my credit card. But before I start, visit my Patreon page and hit that subscribe button...”
 
I didn’t watch it because I don’t care and already know what it’s going to look like.

A lot of you are wondering why and it’s simple. Money. YouTube-ers are making cash hand over fist when they get popular. Most of the subscribers for pilot channels are outside the US where being a pilot is still cool. The potential to make hundreds of bucks a day exist. Potentially thousands. (Although not likely)

Granted one needs a million subscribers or more to make a living but seeing that a child just made a million bucks opening and playing with toys on youtube it comes off as the next gold rush.

I don’t think i would ever consider getting a traditional gas car again that ISN’T German. They really are over-engineered to the hilt. Amazing machines. I love my Audi so much that I’ve thought about buying it at the end of the lease, but then I remind myself that you’re right: NEVER buy a luxury car. Always lease. You want these bad boys under warranty. Because if they’re not and even the slightest thing goes wrong, its gonna cost you. Bigly.

Man. I absolutely love my GTI and don't think I will own anything else for quite some time. They're simply awesome little cars. Maybe not in the same league as BMW but definitely German. I've had zero problems with any of them save a clutch that needed replacing at 130K.

I got a 2011 BMW 328iX in 2016 with 46k miles and 1 yr CPO warranty. Now it’s 9 yrs old and 61k miles, no problems so far. Had one spark plug misfire but the book says they need changing every 6 yrs/60k miles.

That said, if you go German IMO keep it 5 yrs or less and 50k miles or less, and then sell it before first of 10 yrs / 100k miles. Now that mine is 9 yrs old, I’m looking to sell it. Need more space anyway with 2 kids.

You've driven it 15k miles. That's your oil change interval.

I mean, I own a BMW. And I also dive it very little. But I'm not using my ownership experience as an example of something else I'm an expert on.

Also, you'll probably need a battery soon if you aren't keeping it on a charger. Prevention is 9/10ths. Just saying...

thats nice you do work yourself. Just tell me you don’t get up on ladders. I’m always amazed at the boneheads that make 300k+ a year but won’t pay someone to do “ladder work.”

I'm always amazed when people tell someone else what they should and shouldn't be doing on their days off.
