Good Shitbrain tasks for Asians right there.

Euro-trash as well can sometimes pull off the shit brain tasks.

These people will never learn how to mow a yard, plant a vegetable or ride a horse.  Wastes.

I suspect you are far from a position to speak about these "tasks", shitbrain or not. Maybe one of these unrecognized geniouses, knowing all, but somehow can't manage to put it to practice? I don't care, however it is. We need all kind of people, these who know how to plant a vegetable too. There's a place for each skill.

Once again - it's difficult to argue with ppl about stuff they only "heard" about, but haven't ever been able to try. As a user of these sub par automobiles I can assure you - the quality is superb, the pleasure of driving is great, the safety - either and fuel economy ir comparison to the power pretty much blows mind, so I have no idea what are you talking about. Oh, yes, with such complex engineering and electronics, there's a higher chance of something going wrong, understandably.

Some people drive and enjoy these cars, while other are spending their time convincing themselves that it's shit anyway, so no big deal they cant buy one. I dont need to read nonsense like that, I have first hand experience, and depreciation, well, never buy it brand new, and after a year or two the price is worth all the pleasure you get. I only live once, idk about you.

They depreciate so much and so fast that anybody can get one, even the top models, very cheap.  I see Hebrews all the time in them.

Come to the United States and see for yourself.

Its a fucking pathetic joke when it comes to Audi A8s.

I have no idea what are you talking about. It's not my goal to sell a car at the same price after 5 years so I don't really care. The fact is - quality is great and driving pleasure is big, beautful engineering overall, and I know this NOT from reading, but using.

Ok buddy,  best 7000 dollars you ever spent right?

Certainly was worth it. Like with many things in life, if you want to enjoy - you have to pay, one way or another.

Compares to a Mercedes Benz E-Class....both about the same price for a 2005....a little over $10,000. Check Kelly Blue Book.

....im leaning more towards falcon is retarded on drugs

Is this an admission?

So which luxury automobile do you not consider a "piece of shit?"

[cephissus]

Well working my first 'career' has pretty much driven me insane, so I have to agree, falcon.

Adonis, I envy you... Being able to walk, garden, etc. my own property...  Like a dream come true.  Sure beats the mental torture I subject myself to, day in day out, anyway.

It's hard to consider anything when you've just red about them.

Not sure if serious.

Serious.  Look it up.

Exactly! When I buy a car, I don't buy it because of the ads for it, it's projected resale value, how luxurious it is or to some degree the reviews on it. I buy it because it fits my needs. Always liked Jaguars. Sat in one once and it didn't feel right. I felt like I was looking over the hood to see the road. I'm not that short.

I keep cars for a very long time compared to many folks, on average about 10 years. My present car, a Mazda 6 wagon is 11 years old with 135,000 miles on it. It still looks nice and runs well. Currently, it needs a new exhaust manifold, which includes the catalytic converter. The part is a little over $1,000. With a couple of other things that need attention, the repair will probably run just under $3,000, which is not even 10 payments on a new modestly priced car. My mechanic is always asking if I want to sell it to him. Obviously, I am not trying to make an impression on anyone with the snazziness or cost of my automobile.

I drive it to they weels fall off

[cephissus]

What do you do?

I have a fairly flexible job, which mostly involves tech support and programming, but a bunch of other stuff as well.

All of it sitting, standing, or pacing around in a building, though.  Drives me crazy.  When I'm walking around the city in the evening, after a good workout, I feel great, and think much more freely.

Sitting inside all day is the worst.

Thinking you have to live up to some kind of expectation is no way to live

worked in IT for 6 years webdesigner/content manager and other bullshit titles -basically laughing all day with collegues surfing playing games and "working"  like two or three hours  a day-, got bored of office work, thought i wanted a" more meaningful" role and career...got into studies/health and social work... oh boy what a mistake. It was way less stressing to displace files , create some bullshit graphics , "code" websites and answer fucking emails all day. Sure it can get repetitive and boring, you want to smash your computer/mouse but are you really sure you want more stress? Given the choice now, i would choose boredom over stress. I learned nothing really good about life attempting to care about people needs, mostly that some people are luckier than others and...thats all. Most of the time you cant do jack shit to help people, you re just sitting there telling them stuff they either cant comprehend or cant really do. All they want are money/free handouts. And i dont even blame them. I came to despise all the collegues -mostly women- i had because they were making fun of the people they were supposed to help more tha anything. Comparing themselves to those who have less to make themselves feel better about their own lives. It s rampant in all the system, i leared that most doctors hate mankind and their patients with a passion. No really, health and social working are definitely not for me, way too cynical.

I regret so fucking much leaving IT now, im  considering going back but it s tough. Seriously, stay sit in your fucking chair doing fuck all, there s no better place to spend the rest of your life. As you age the less stress you feel at work the better. Stress takes its toll way faster. Just my opinion. Stay healthy, practice sport, stay sit in a chair moving a mouse as a job and you ll live til you re 120. Isnt it what it s all about in the end, what truly matters, lasting longer than anyone else.
