Houston was miserable in the summer. I hated it when folks I went out to dinner with decided to sit outside because "it's so nice out." 99F and 90% humidity IS NOT NICE. Nothing like trying to enjoy dinner with sweat dripping off your chin.
South Korea in the 70's was really bad, too. No a/c and no clothes dryers. Uniforms got moldy as hell. Nasty on the skin. Then it would get to -40F in the winter. Land of extremes.

Back in 2007 I was young....we were having scotch after work (I don't like it but I'm the young kid so have to fit in). I offered the giant shrimp cocktail to the chauffeur, which he correctly declined. One of the managing directors saw me do it. It was the end of my career at that firm. I get that there is social strata but sometimes people are too serious with it.

Amazing....
The landskeeper/gardner for our HOA came into the property at 1pm, and they are STILL working on it at 7:38PM. Just by looking at them from 2nd floor, I think they will be here till 8:15pm. I hear lots of commercial lawn mower motor running everywhere as I type. At least they made the grass/tree/flowers look real nice at our neighborhood.)

South Korea between 50-79 was one of the poorest. Their GDP was lower than North Korea around 1968-72 ish.
Try Seoul now, it is funner than Hawaii+LasVegas combined. One think I hate that place the most is the traffic. I would rather live in a boring nowhere with no traffic, than top 5 densely populated cities int he world. Quote:

I guess it really depends on the type of people you surround yourself with. I generally go for girls with very similar interests and personalities to mine. Most of my best friends are female, as well.
One of my best friend's Instagram/Twitter/XBL description simply reads, "I like video games and Taco Bell". |

I guess the coffee does effect me. I thought it did not. I can't sleep right now, and watching CNBC Eu. Too much free refills at Starbucks.

Here is my First World Problem I have been dealing with. My current lease will be up in Feb 2015, and I am already building my next BMW. I have been to a couple dealerships to do some eyes on comparisons, and I know my next car will be an X6. Having a hard time choosing between a 50i M Sport, or a full X6M though. Tough choice, indeed. lol
Here is where my problem comes in. My GC has 3 bubbles in the front driver's side Run Flat Tire. Other than that, all of my tires are in great shape (except for the fact that they are Run Flats, which experience has tought me to NEVER do that again). I don't want to buy new tires for a car that I don't drive that often, especially since the season came around a couple months ago, I use the bike for most of my traveling. I know driving on a tire with bubbles can be dangerous, but I dont want to buy 4 new tires now, then end up having to buy another set when it's time to turn in the lease for my next BMW this coming winter. I can buy one new tire to replace the bubbled up one, but then the GC might drive awkwardly with the other 3 tires that have 19,500 miles on them, just enough tread wear to probably feel the difference with the new one combined with the old ones. Basically, I don't want to spend money on tires. Not too excited on spending money on an outgoing car because I am already saving my pennies for my next car. What do you guys think? Should I just replace the damaged tire and rock on? Should I just replace all 4 tires, and hope I don't have to buy ANOTHER full set when it's time to turn the car in? Or should I just drive it until the wheels fall off, (literally) then replace the tires when I turn in the car for my next ride? What are your experiences with turning in a lease with the original tires from the day you drove the car off the lot?
