    Did it at 50 and had cancer. Chopped out a foot of my intestines and I was good to go. Had several procedures since then. 

    Try to schedule on a Monday during football season so at least you can watch football in basement while you are running back and forth to the can. 

    Its not that big a deal really. The procedure itself is a non event. 

    Jeez, did you have symptoms of a family history?

  2. You guys link your debit cards to shit? I don’t put that shit anywhere. My debit card is used only to withdraw cash at an ATM. I just always figure the venmo fee for credit cards is a premium I pay for when they eventually lose my data in a hack I won’t worry about my checking account getting fucked.

    I’m pretty set on ordering a Miami blue Targa 4S or Targa GTS, but I planned on waiting a couple more years to do so. It would be my first. But if it really takes two years to get, I’m thinking maybe I should just get the order in now. Plus, that new Porsche dealership calls my name every time I drive past.

    Nah it’s closer to 6 months for a 4s in reality once you get an allocation maybe a bit less. The GTS won’t be until start of 22 though. Also assume a GTS in this market will have some sort of ADM. Not gt3 level but maybe 10k if I had to guess

     

    Now I'm looking at Chalk with the black aero kit. This shit is gonna change 100 times in the next month. Fuck, if I keep going I'm getting into Turbo territory. Might need to pare some options back.

    Congrats!  Looks great. Just some unsolicited 2 cents, if you intend to track it at all, the buckets are worth it.  They are extremely expensive to add later if you ant airbags to work with no codes.  The font axle lift is really nice to have too.  Mine won't go over a speed bump unless I do the slow and take it at an angle trick. The CL's look cool but they are a huge pain in the ass. If I had the choice, I would get the bolts instead.  I checked it out with the aero and think it looks good but I can understand the concern.  But, it's your car so all about what you like.    

    I completely changed mine and went back to black with a PDK (I've had both and the manual is more fun but I am just addicted to the PDK).  Should be here in November.

    Looks awesome man. Can’t wait to see pics when you take delivery. Appreciate the feedback - I was thinking of going all black too, we’ll see how many times I change my mind before lock haha…

    rennlist is pretty split on FAL but I think it probably makes sense since I’ll have SPASM on the car. 
     

    the buckets also are enticing but one of my selling points to the wife right now is I can technically chuck a child seat in the back and cart around one of the kids…rear seat delete with the buckets takes that out, but let’s be real how often are the kids gonna be riding?

    Well not quite the baller above with the GT3 (although the more time I spend on the configurator the closer I get to the gt3 MSRP) but I snagged a MY2022 allocation for a C2S. Now I get to fuck around with configs for a while. Likely a Nov delivery is what I’m being told. I’ve waited my whole life to own a 911 and my one regret is not being able to do Euro delivery right now but oh well. Here’s my current spec that will no doubt change 20 times before the build locks. I’m between gentian and shark blue. Shark looks awesome but I’m not sure if it’s too poser on a non-gt car

    Welp. Dealer called me up a couple weeks before my build locked and offered me a GTS allocation with no ADM if I traded him back my C2S allocation. I bit. Glad I did. GTS was revealed yesterday and configurator is up today. Looking at early 2022 delivery but hell with it I’ve waited this long, what’s 6 more months? I’m a sucker for the center locks plus it has the options I had on the c2s anyway plus 30 more horses. I am considering adding the aero kit but not sure if that’s too wannabe gt3

  6. Anyone got some good recs? I have been taking the Costco natural one for about a week that has like 10 strains and 20 billion colonies or whatever and I’ve noticed some positives and negatives. 
     

    on the plus side, I’ve never had nicer shits. Every shit the last week has been a no wiper, it’s incredible and I shit twice a day like clockwork. 
     

    on the downside I feel almost constantly like I have a sort of bloated/sort of queasy stomach. I have read that can last a week or two while my body gets used to it. 
     

    will this bloated/queasy feeling go away? I really want to stick with it just since my craps are very enjoyable now but I hate feeling like this. Anyone have some good probiotics they recommend? Also, am I supposed to take it indefinitely or is it something that I should take for a while then stop?

  7. (disclaimer, not a humblebrag, or any brag really...there are many people here far wealthier than I, I just want some advice)

    In the last two or so years, my income has increased significantly, with a fairly clear (as clear as it could be anyway) path to further significant increases in the next 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, etc. I max my 401k, know about backdoor roth-ing, but as of now all the excess I have just gets dumped into my taxable brokerage account.

    I've got cash set aside for 1 - 2 investment properties, but timing does not feel right for two reasons: 1. I am currently temporarily living outside of Texas, and long term will be in Texas....don't want to be a landlord from a different state, and 2. housing market is absolutely bonkers now and I don't want to buy an investment property at what feels like "the top".

    Outside of real estate, what sort of alternative investments do you surly 1%ers dabble in? I'm not super interested in things like crypto....Am I stuck just doing my brokerage account and buying property when possible? I am hoping to diversify, but don't really know where to start. If it matters I am in my early 30s, so my risk tolerance is reasonably high...

    Thanks in advance

  8. So what do I do if I have a trad IRA I rolled over from a previous job 401k? Reading upthread it seems like I can't open a new IRA and backdoor since it'll be counted along with my trad IRA I already have. Am I just fucked out of backdooring unless I want to take the tax hit on the 6figures already in the rolled over IRA?

  9. Got my Pfizer 2 on Sunday afternoon. Felt fine Monday, went to work and all. Monday evening felt kinda “blah”. Today, Tuesday, I woke up feeling like absolute dogshit. Low grade fever, exhausted, stomach nauseous and hurting like a bitch (was my only symptom of Pfizer one, albeit much much milder). Hopeful I feel better tomorrow.

    How long is European Delivery suspended for?  Things should be a lot better by then.  I will do that once in my lifetime.

    The sales guy said they expect it to return by 2022 but unsure about end of year. I obviously told him if it opens back up before my build date I want to do that but I am not hopeful. Between slower vaccine rollout in EU and variants popping up he said Porsche is taking it very cautiously.

    Congrats!  That’s awesome. The Porsche options certainly add up quickly.  I bounced back and forth between black, gentian and shark blue for awhile and finally came up with, it’s a GT3, it needs a color so black was out and the gentian looked more elegant and didn’t belong on a GT3 (also I could get the wheel stripe, interior stitching and seatbelts in shark). IMO only, the C2S can carry whatever color it wants (except maybe yellow because in my messed up head that is reserved for very high end cars not including the GT3). For options, the front axle lift, at least on a GT3, is pretty mandatory and will probably be nice on a C2S.  
     

    Are you at Porsche Austin?  If so, was told mine arrives in November so we would probably be on the same boat.  

    Thanks. I have always felt like a sports car that costs 6 figures + has to be a bold color. Agree with yellow though I think it does work on the GT cars. For now I’m sticking with shark with a black interior and chalk stitching. We will see how long before I change my mind... I am going through Porsche north Houston. Are you expecting to pay an ADM for the gt3? Rennlist is reporting some ridiculous asks on the ADMs but I guess that’s the market right now 

  12. Don't want to watch it, but is this the one where the guy is clearly trying to comply with the psychopath officer's commands (which keep contradicting themselves) and ends up getting capped anyway by the tiny dick cop that had some inscription on his rifle or whatever?

    If it's that one, yeah it's one of the worst. Special place in Hell for that cop.

    I have no business being the fashion police, but that’s not a good look for TJ.

    No shit, polo shirt under a sport coat is absolute bush league. Are those sweatpants styled like slacks? The fuck?
