Don't you guys recognize a joke? I'm gone just one (archive)

day and the E32 board, which is one of two boards with civility and respect, goes to hell. Bill makes a tongue in cheek comment to a few dozen regulars, who have been on the board for years, and Harry Highschool has to jump in like he's personally been insulted. Geez. Its boring to have to listen to the duh generation. No, I shouldn't have said that. There are many fine young guys around, as well as some who just don't get it. (get what??? what???)

I'll stop now. But, to the hotshot youngsters, please remember that we are all on this earth for about the same amount of time, its just that some of us started earlier than others. You should be so lucky as to someday get old. I figure we're like a bunch of matches. We're lit when born, burn a while and go out. If we're lucky -- and good drivers -- we don't get snuffed out early.

I recall my first job out of college and thinking that experience didn't much matter. What mattered was how smart you were. I eventually got over that.

For what its worth, my dear ol' Dad, rest his soul, bought me a new Olds Cutlass, GTO and Corvette before I even got into college. I thank him in a way, but I've maintained the habit of pissing away a lot of money on fancy cars long after he was around to pay for them. I should have bought stock in Microsoft. But I'm sure every Dad is welcome to buy their sons and daughters whatever they wish.

Retrospectively,

Instead, buy my wife's 97 GEO Prisim, 28.6k, air,auto, am/fm radio and rear defrost,...Period! Tell the little brat that until you see 3 consecutive semesters of 3.7 qpi's or better to not even THINK about the BMW! NADA retail= $8800, sell for $7200. Let me help make your kid a success! billr1100rs@webtv.net 570-342-6880
