My mom had my high school diploma, and my college degrees. What the hell do you do with them? I've never once in my life been asked by anyone to see them. I guess you just hold on to them for your kids to throw out?

For the college one I know people like to frame and put them up in their office or whatever. Personally I work from home now and I don't care to show it in my apartment.

Maybe if I had a cubicle or corner office in an office building I'd show it.

The attempts at trying to get me to not leave have been so laughable it’s starting to make me angry. No real offer and just unprepared for conversations that I sit there and poke holes in. The only things I would accept is take over as GM and a pay restructure so that my end of year profit sharing isn’t 47% of what I make.

3 weeks later and $3100 also later. Got my baby back. Also got congratulated by the shop manager in how good the work I’ve done on my car is. So that felt good.

Its really hot out but I didn’t care as I drove with the windows down all the way back home because I missed the exhaust noise. Now to install all the parts intended to prior to the accident.

Both strategies seem to work for me. I'm 1/1,000,000th as upset about my Buick getting rear ended as I would be about the FRS. Even better would be a beater that you really don't GAF about. Those are nice lol.

You should see the inboards from Kevin Estre at the N24. I think one of his videos is 54 overtakes in one lap.

Kevin Estre is a machine, I watched his 24hrs at Nur and it was a shame the car DNF, he was driving like a mad man.


I especially liked this video because I recently got ACC and the first race on the career mode is at this track. I even chose the Porsche as my first car.
