Just a seasonal thing? or for long term?

Seasonal for now but I am hoping for long term.

Our pension fund requires that we ask "permission" before taking a post retirement job to ensure that there are no conflicts.

As a detailer, Dave, my guess is you got to drive it around the lot. Last year, I picked one up in NJ to bring back here. Only difference was the color.

Hope it works out for you.

Thank you. I have always liked numbers.

C'mon. A couple mile vs. a couple hundred miles?


BTW, BMWs really don't impress me anymore.

My first post retirement gig was as a detailer at a local BMW dealership. I got to drive the 2019 version of this:

The sticker was only $169K.

Looks gorgeous but that would have to be one of my many lottery winning cars I'd buy.

Nothing can be called gorgeous if it's got 4 doors on it. "Nice" would be about as high as I would go.

I have to tell you that they don't impress me anymore either. They used to be my dream car but after having worked around them and listening to the service tech's they are not nearly worth what they are asking for them. $400 for an oil change? No thank you.

Is the Quoris for gay people? *head down*

Well, I can ask my gay buddy. He drives a new Silverado but previously drove a Passat.

I don't know about that. Tell me there aren't some gorgeous trucks or SUVs out there.

They are all cookie cutter crap now as far as I'm concerned. The designs don't change but about every 15 years or so. Oh-we changed a section of the grill or we added a POS tailgate fold down step thingy - big woop. It used to be yearly changes--something to look forward to.

Didn't you just buy a new Silverado?

Ugliest things on the road.

Won't argue with you on that. Ford-Chevy-GMC- Dodge--they are all pretty much the same design when it come right down to it. There isn't a good looking truck out there right now. Not 50 - 60 dollars good looking.

'69 to '71 GMC or Chevy regular cab, short bed.

My Silverado just turned 3 years old. If I replaced it tomorrow with a 2020 you would be hard pressed to see a difference. My Wife drives a 2019 Ford Edge---looks identical to every SUV out there.

You gotta look at the nose of the new Silverados.

They look like the front wall of an ugly building.
