    You're absolutely right, , man.

    Getting laid, but having to deal w the problems of a troublesome woman aint worth it at all.

    Like, I got hoes that will do amazing things for 10 minutes of my time. Things a gf cannot do. So, why would I deal w the troubles of being in a relationship with a woman that eliminates my peace?

      Damn I'm late to the party... Hell of a past 3 pages. Sorry to hear you're going through this.
      I think blessing in disguise is exactly what this is.

      Double check that NDAs are even remotely enforceable where you are, often they are bullshit or at least have situations where they are not.
      I would not pass over any job due to an NDA with an ex-employer.

      Absolutely agree to this for now. You can always change your mind later. When the time comes, name your price and don't sell yourself short.

      I've seen your work, I think you would do well on your own if you could sort out a solid customer base.

        Fuck it... I'm new around here, and not very mature. I'll be that guy.

        Let's see the photos so we can rate her on the hot/crazy matrix.

          You can have the most recent photo I have of her (it's a still from a video but it counts). It's from a few weeks ago when we went to Laguna Seca, slept in a tent, and watched drift cars haul ass. Good memories, good girl. All smiles

            Getting out of my own head has been a struggle, but it's the biggest factor in doing anything. Learning about my mental disabilities and understanding how to work with them/around them is how I am able to roll with the punches and move forward. Never expected that would be on my bingo card this year, but here we are.

            I will remember to show up for myself everyday, as you say. I like the way that sounds.

            I heard some phrase when I was young, sounded something like "No matter how beautiful a woman is, there's a man out there that's tired of her bullshit". Has always stuck with me.

            I miss my girl though. It was a crazy that I almost figured out how to handle.

              Just to close the loop... I will put her in the Fun Zone based on a single picture and my limited knowledge from this nonsense thread.

              Ok, I'm back to being mature.

              I always find myself saying to myself "This too shall pass". It always helps to remind me that there are going to be constant struggles/stresses/conflicts in life. Some come, some go, some stay forever. As long as you can do your best to confront them, and don't let them consume you on a daily basis, you will keep moving forward and make progress to wherever you want your life to go. So keep rolling with the punches. Life somehow finds a way to figure it self out. Might take a month or a decade, but eventually you'll find yourself where you belong.

                  shes at least a 7 on both axis… probably more like a 8x8, so I’d say it was fun while it lasted and you can start fresh with new job and new locale. Who knows maybe she will settle down on the crazy a little (she won’t lol)

                  Any update on the work?

                        Could be worse, they could make it an emissions control part, after all how else could we capture all those contaminants in the coolant system?

                        Crazy for sure.

                          I mean, I could see them focusing on the cooling system to minimize warm up enrichment?

                            It's 100 percent part of the emission system. The goal is to get the car as hot as possible as fast pas possible.

                            This shit is so dumb lol. It's not BMWs fault. Its all the gay regulations they must adhere to. Same with the 13k mile oil change interval. Same with the 0w20 0w16 bullshit.

                            These poor engineers are neutered by the government.

                                Yeah its already done

                                Crazy tho. Listen to how shitty the dealer is. So I replaced her starter October 10 25 and she calls me last week and says the starter is doing the same shit. The gear spins but the solenoid doesn't engine the flexplate.

                                She's all frustrated and she's like I'm going to go to the dealer cuz she thinks I ripped her off or some shit. She goes, it was never the starter, blah blah blah.

                                She goes to the dealer November 8th and they tell her they cant drive the car, there's a bad coolant leak. I told her about the coolant leak when we did the starter but she didn't have the money to do it then. It wasn't leaking to the floor yet, but the coolant was calcifying on the oil filter housing and thermostat. So she's like I'll come back the next time I'm notified the level is low.

                                Anyways, the dealer is like the starter is getting wet and causing it not to start and quote her 5k to fix the leak before they can address the starter.

                                Also, the starter on a B46A is on the bottom of the engine on the other side, the hot side. and the leak was on the drivers side so it's not possible for it to get wet like they say. Also it's on the bottom of the engine, so it's going to get wet just driving it when it rains.... Starters are sealed very well and this for the most part will not affect it the way they claim.

                                Anyways I call the dealer and I'm like yo the starter is not working.

                                SO, on OCT 12 BMW issues a recall for the starter, they have no fix for it yet, but customers are to be notified that they understand there is an issue and they're working on the fix.

                                BMW pulled ALL starters off shelves and are not allowed to sell them.

                                When she went in for the starter, they knew this and avoided telling her about the recall to get her on the work for the leak.

                                Then after the fact they were I guess going to spill the beans..

                                What a bunch of MFers. So she will have her invoice reimbursed by BMW and the starter replaced by them when the new units are available.
