Oh gawd

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.
 
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.
 
He has a video in a 145 cockpit so its Envoy or Piedmont. And lets brag about a new BMW but still live in a small ass apartment... :rolleyes: so many better uses for that money than that "Karen"-esqe soccer mom-mobile... plus he's a Riddle-rat so not that smart with the money obviously. :p

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.

I know that you're not down with Korean luxury cars. But Hyundai's luxury arm Genesis is really cranking out some really beautiful and more importantly reliable luxury cars. Example the G70 & G80. If I had the money and was in the market for a luxury car, those two cars would be in my purview.
 
He is one of ours. Piedmont. I absolutely hate this crap. I haven't even actually met the guy but my opinion of him is already formed. Flew with an FO recently who has flown with him. Apparently you must also play the role of his personal photographer so he can score all those 'likes' for the 'gram. That's a big fat NO, from me, bro.

Me every time I see this crap:

So much wasted talent. Or something, maybe they do this because they don’t have any talents beyond shameless self-promotion.

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.
