So, basically, guitar or Porsche. I think you made the right choice! 🤣

In other words, “crazy work schedule involving lots of travel” paid for the Porsche. Hope you get some time in between trips to enjoy it.

Pretty much haha. Fortunately/unfortunately depending on how you look at it, I don’t travel anymore. Left the world of consulting a few years ago. I remember how painful if was leaving my car at the airport parking lot sometimes for multiple weeks in a row (only had one car back then).

Composer schedule changed from arriving 5am to 8pm on Friday, seemed to slow down rounding Florida. Also the departure date changed to Saturday evening so all cars will be unloaded much quicker! Looking good for a Monday or Tuesday dealership arrival!!!!

I play acoustic (not great but alright). I had a similar “nothing special” guitar for years until this past Christmas, I finally gifted myself an American-made Taylor. It’s an amazing guitar. The only problem is that my free time is now spent tracking TYD and ships instead of playing that nice guitar

Thanks. Walmart of all places. I was concerned that factory photos may not turn out that good when you blow them up, so this was going to be my test. I figured for $90 if it turns out like crap, I’m not going to feel bad for wasting the money. But it actually turned out pretty good.

Apologies if I missed it in the comments above, but is the Conductor scheduled to stop in Houston? My car arrived at Emden yesterday and I'm hoping to catch a ride!
