Congrats to the new TH’s! Hopefully @paranoidgarliclover celebrates by getting into a lease on a new 4-banger.

Also looking forward to more ABS deal updates from @themachine as the captive lenders try to get more liquidity to hand out bargain bin EV leases.

Oh, next car will def be a 4-banger. The question is whether it’ll be a $30K 4-banger attached to a depressing CVT that has a very practical bodystyle (eg., Impreza) or a $100K Mercedes-AMG attached to a car that doesn’t really appeal to me. :wink: ::snort::

I think these folks have been super-helpful while remaining low key (no drama). Which IMO makes them great trusted hackers and moderators.

IIRC @ApexHunt was helping the guy with the 330i before others started to belittle the OP of the thread as a weak hackr who was making a bad decision… causing that OP to never come back to LH.

And @renren is a self-admitted narcissist with cool dogs in his avatar. But nobody seems to recognize him as a narcissist, while we all agree his dogs are really cool. I have a cat in my avatar and you have a bear… so it’s not as cool.

That was a surprise. You need to learn from @Russo on how to take better quality photos.
Following you, I am also going to change my avatar to my cat. I just need it to stand still for a moment.

Been here since right before COVID; am I now a GenX, between old fart and new gen?

LH meetup at Benjamin in Westchester!

@themachine I was disappointed this was not your profile picture:

bert-kreischer-the-machine copy

I’ll be even more disappointed if you tell me you have no idea who this is and it’s totally irrelevant to your username

I picture him as this Machine.
