Professional Forum lurker & reaction/ message ratio analyst.. i also monitor the amount of @zrk activity going on daily within the community.. judging by my calculations and spreadsheet i've created, @zrk can become a monderator on SupraMKV in no time.. of course, i've also accounted for possible hiccups within the formula and analyzed all possible outcomes... all still lead to a very high possibility of this outcome.

I'd say "Solutions Architect" to apply a very thick coat of lipstick to that pig. In reality, the company I work for is so small that I'm basically everything that isn't data entry or customer service (because the day they ask me to handle that will be my last). Which would be fine, if it were just in-house stuff... but I wind up doing the same for our clients as well, most of the time. :(

My next career will be as a finish carpenter though, as I find building furniture, cabinets, trim, etc. infinitely more rewarding than writing code or designing infrastructure build-outs.

This happened at the mall by my house, so that black Supra is bound to run by me at some point and you can bet that yellow haired Ronald McDonald, Crocs wearing POS is going to mess with the wrong person. Hell if I had my shitty X5 and saw that Supra do this shit, I would block his car in 😂. It’s not like he is gonna ram into me to get away. Just block him in, turn the X5 off and leave.

Seriously wow. This piece of garbage gives the Supra community a bad name. I'll def be on the lookout for this clown, literally. Also, how the f did he even fit in the Supra?

Hmm… and come back to a catless X5?

Customer facing with high stakes gamblers, there's a certain kind of 'image' that needs to be projected. Other than the expected ribbing from getting a new car, the reception so far has actually been much better than anticipated compared to a coworker who got a CPO Mercedes S450.

Huh, If I was planning to gamble I would want the Casino employees to roll up in some 90s beater.

Practially anyone can get a car loan pretty easily these days. So the real question should be this: Who purchased a Supra and paid cash for it?
I did. I bought my other two cars ('21 Tacoma TRD Off-Road & '21 Highlander Platinum) with cash, too. Not dick waving. Much like @zrk, I just can't bring myself to take a loan out for a depreciating asset. You're losing money all around. Taking out a home equity loan for a major home improvement? Likely a winning proposition (do the math, though). You're just reducing the amount of value you're getting back from said improvement based on the interest rate you're paying. However, if you're cashing out investments to buy an asset like a car, you need to consider the potential gains you're giving up converting the investments to cash. It's mostly math... there is no equation that includes the fun you'll have with a car like ours. You have to be willing to give something up for that. In my case, it was worth it.

It also helps that you get a good deal when you buy three cars with cash at one time.

Plus I play poker with the Finance Manager at the dealership.

EDIT: Please note that I did not have the income to do all this during my last seven years as a fed. Nor should I - I take that very seriously. You guys don't pay me that well. It was my previous 20 years working as a contractor and other sources of income. I'm not making anywhere close as a federal employee to what I was making in private industry.
