Haven't taken pics yet but I'll post some when I do. But yeah, went in this morning, test drove the actual car I was looking to buy to make sure I didn't mind the "cloth" seats.

Tried to get another 1k off (why not ldo) then snap accepted anyway (guy seemed genuinely surprised - I think he really thought I was going to walk away and buy the Subaru instead).

Got financing (2.85% but maybe I'll just pay it off anyway?) put down $3k with a CC and then he took me through almost all of the buttons and features on the car which was a really nice thing I honestly wasn't expecting. He even just sat there while we hooked up my phone and I called my parents and fiancee. I really liked the salesman, he was the best out of the 7 I think I talked to. There were others I liked but he just seems really down-to-earth.

So, drove out with a base Volvo S60 black/black with AWD and climate package for $32,999 + ~$2600 in taxes/licensing/fees (off the top of my head).

If you don't want high shine, do not get pomade from American Crew. It's a good product, but it's high gloss. You probably want either Fiber (high hold/low shine) or Defining Paste (medium hold/low shine). I am using Defining Paste atm but have also used plenty in the past Fiber. I have really flat hair but Defining Paste seems fine imo and sometimes with Fiber it kind of ends up a bit too rigid.



My mom drove a 1984 wagon in light yellow which I borrowed quite a bit as a teenager. I hated it but mainly b/c I was at a high school where half my class drove luxury cars (new or ~5 years old, none were really old) and it just stood out like a sore thumb.

Lol

dude can you please say "The vo's a 'sgo?"

when is workaholics back? keep seeing the blonde chick in one of the phone ad's, and the manager lady in a food ad.

The vo's a 'sgo.

I don't get it. I can barely say that one time slowly out loud - awkward as hell imo - lol.

The vo's a go for yugo bro. So?

The Volvoslavian

Fredd - nice, that's nice. Btw, does everything I'm actually from Yugoslavia? I sometimes wonder if it's just a really misleading nickname since I only got it b/c I look like Peja Stojakovic (Serbian) and I guess it's less politically charged than nicknaming someone "The Serbian" lol.

Shouldn't it be more like "the vo's a goze"?

I considered Volvoslovian, but it's kinda long

I'm sure the amount of people that think you're from Yugoslavia is close to the amount of people that think my real name is Johnny Fondue

Whats up for nye MR FONDUE

Unfortunately I work tonight. I don't usually but am helping someone out. So in the meantime I'm lifting, cleaning, and generally getting ready to pwn the new year.

I'll most likely party tomorrow night.

My dad has great hip flexibility but can't get his left arm under the bar so I was thinking of getting him to do zerchers instead. Guess thst just confirmed it.

I hope the upcoming LC thread title does not include any references to bros, broettes, or remembering. I don't know why, but it bothers me.

Happy New Year to everyone; hopefully you're all out getting drunk. Just fed my kids and kissed my wife, now I'm going to have a glass of wine.

Cheers!

haha nit

janyouevenlift?

Thanks for all the metro recommendations, gonna check them out.

Evo leveling imo

I like it.

I thought your name was John though, .

I thought Yugo had yugo ancestors.

JF might be John Fondstein. There are lots of people who use their info slightly modified for nicks.

Just had an hour long 'discussion' about what the largest animal I thought I could kill barefoot and naked was. Of the persons involved in this discussion there were some modest claims from the largest people, 6'6/7 275 claimed he could kill a turkey. This man also was the start of this discussion that hes had before and he was pretty confident he couldnt kill anything larger, obviously I trolled him and the room pretty hard claiming I could likely take a giraffe and elephant, putting up serious arguments for both. The most serious guy that gave a respectable sized animal was on ostrich. What say ye H&F?

Naked in a reasonably confined space, cant starve, have to kill with bare hands, although I suppose you can use any weapon on the animal though.

I trolled a little too well btw and everybody was left with the impression I am completely delusional.

An ostrich can kill you with its powerful kicks.

The hypothetical is not as intriguing when weapons are involved.

I could take out a deer in a confined space. I'd never catch one in the wild.

Sorry, any weapon you can get from the animal, not a tool you brought.

How high are you?

For some reason a pony was the first thing that came to mind. Not a shetland tho, something less stocky.

Maybe a fairly young calf also.
