I tried to have a stay cation today in honor of doing military stuff that is now on hold for probably a few more days at least. I celebrated by demo'ing a built in shelving unit in my garage that was installed using screw nails (nail screws? the ones with nail heads but screw bodies), and every board was attached this way, generally from every possible angle. Supports were driven into the garage drywall with this too, virtually ensuring that the drywall would be damaged in the process of removal. The guy who built this is dead, but I told my wife I hoped he is burning in hell. Celebration ended with me taking a large board to the shin and a nail head slicing deep. I called it quits for the day and went to get some stitches. Tomorrow is a new day though. Only way to get the new car home.......I do plan to wear pants and a long sleeve shirt tomorrow though, and I'm over halfway done at least.....save probably hiring someone to fix the drywall damage. F**** doing sheetrock

You were born on third base and have convinced yourself you hit a triple.
One of many things that explains your selfishness and lack of empathy.

Yes, born in a third world country is a third base to POed TDS sufferers. 3.25 more years to go before you find any relief.

Friendly reminder, @Cherokee_Cruiser. You created this thread because you were triggered at the lifestyle and expenses of an FO in a YouTube ad for a product. The algorithm showed you that video for a reason. You sought out this material.

That don’t mean jack honestly. The algorithm stuff is messed up. I don’t YouTube search up financial advice or regional jet FOs.
Nailed it.
Why didn't anyone else see the video? Either (a) they weren't looking for it or (b) the algorithm didn't think it was relevant to drive rage. And rage sells way more than sex does.

And how has your life been since living in the US?
Exactly.
You aren’t even a particularly good troll.

Forced to move when we had to. To chase a green card. That was a sacrifice away from everyone we knew, in order to serve our time in a rural area. To get sponsored.
Now, it’s a great life.
This is a wonderful country. Most of the POed people I come across are the ones born and raised here.

You wouldn’t have been allowed to become a citizen had Trump been in office when you immigrated here.
An irony completely lost on you.
I don't run an algorithm. That's between you and your Google-ID.
Using ANY Alphabet (Google) product (gmail, search, YouTube, etc) will affect what you see in Google Ads because your G-ID is imbedded in everything and iTs NoT CoOkIeS.
This is your common identifier that threads through every interaction you have with Alphabet products, anywhere you see ads, use gmail, sheets, YouTube, logged in or out, anything that touches a Google product or website using Google Analytics or GoogleAds, especially "DailyMail". "Free" just means you're the product.
Google has a 3 trillion dollar market capitalization. I'm sorry, what were you saying about "my" algorithm?

Thanks!
It's kinda esoteric, but as my username implies, I was at least originally a Mercedes guy before I got sidetracked with BMW M's. But super excited to get back into what IMO is the best era of Mercedes-Benz, the 1990s, pre merger. I bought a 1995 SL500, with only 37k miles on odo. After a few little hiccups, I took the government shutdown as an opportunity to finally get it over the rockies and cascades last week before mountain winter wx descends on us. It's pre-facelift and pre-motor change. Has the old school instrument cluster, climate control (AC blows ice cold) buttons, and most importantly, arguably the most fantastic V8 that Mercedes ever developed, the M119 5.0L. They raced it in the Sauber C9 and the C11, same engine, but with the biturbos removed for street/production use in the early 500 SL and SL500's, as well as the Porsche designed and manufactured 500E/E500. Amazing DOHC, 32 valve, revy German masterpiece. Much mo betta than the later build year's m113 5.0, which is basically de-tuned a bit, and only 3 valve heads. I had that motor on my 1999 C43, and it was also good, but that was in a little C-class. This motor isn't a ton by today's standards at 322 hp/354 ft-lb tq, but it pulls hard, and I bet it will sound amazing with some better headers and a cleaner exhaust. And there is a lot of tuning potential.....they ran these motors out to 900+ HP in race trim, so somewhere in between wouldn't be out of the question with an aftermarket twin turbo arrangement. Only downside is that it was built a year before they upgraded the 4-spd to a 5-spd, and also that it is an automatic. But it is an old school merc hydromechanical transmission with shift gates, so that will work until the point where I swap it out for a true 5-spd manual. Anyway, as you might have picked up on, this will be the next project car.

I know you had 90s Beamer but I don’t think I knew you are into projects like that. Very neat!
I’m supposedly selling my Bronco and getting a brand new family SUV this Saturday. As long as the numbers work, we will see.

I've always been enamored, at least long as I can remember, with German muscle cars. Which are almost exclusively Mercedes. I mean BMW does throw some big displacement energy into their cars from time to time, but it never hit me the same way. This won't be a replica of any sort, it'll be its own build, but the SL73 AMG (as well as Brabus SL73S), the Brabus Rocket, the 500E, the 1970's 450SEL 6.9, all the 1980's-1990s AMG 6.0's (derivatives of either the previous V8 or this one) in the SEL, SEC, E class, and SL run deep in my soul. Every bit as cool as American muscle, but not neutered in the same way that ours were in the 70's and early 80's. Mercedes has always been big displacement, until recently. I wouldn't say a 5.0L is "big", but in the 70's/80's/90's it sure was.
What are you guys thinking of for the family SUV? Are you sad to see the Bronc go?
