Man, you change jobs as often as most people trim their toe nails.

Mine is the daily driver but I also have an Ducati Monster. You should get a bike. Or if you want a little sports car I'd consider a...BMW Z3/4, Audi TT, Porsche Boxter/Cayman...

Lol well it's a long story. Working for my father now because of his health and I own 20% of his company anyways.. With the froyo shop and being part owner in the oil field company I really found my 'ground' and finally like what I'm doing. The first job I quit was planned from the beginning just because they paid for me to go to school. Once I got my degree I had no intentions in staying. The insurance office I worked at is closed now so I just decided to drop that career move. I'm happy now it all worked out thankfully.

I haven't driven my car in 6 days now!! Going to take it to dinner tonight with the beautiful mrs.

I DD my car because I often have to hop between multiple job sites each day and sometimes take clients out to lunch. Mass transit just doesn't work for me.

I agree with others when they say the GS isn't a car you have to baby. It's just a nice mid-size luxury sedan. However I do try to avoid putting it in harms way. So no leaving it in airport parking, train/bus station lots, or dark alleys at night.

Door dings, cracked/broken windows and random scratches are issues that some people can live with, but they would drive me f'ing crazy.

My GS is my DD, replacing my last one which was a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I just sold my last project/weekend car, a 1973 BMW 2002, and am looking for another weekend car to have some fun in.
