Courtesy of @tourenwagen who gave me a steal price for his used GT3 side skirts. U rock bro! That lunch restaurant and IPA was awesome too. Ha, I couldn’t wait to install them. Wished I had ramps or a jack. Still pretty darn easy install on the ground. Took me about hour and half while answering work emails.



UPDATE: Tools required to install side skirts.
- Torx wrench - 25 & 30
- Quarter
- Cardboard to lie down on

You are on Siem Confucius, along with myself and at least 2 other Ts here.

I think about it pretty much every day. The thing that probably keeps me here the most is that drastic difference in pay for software engineers. A factor of two I could handle, but I'd probably be looking at 1/3 to 1/4 the compensation. I may buy a flat over there and in the meantime keep padding my portfolio until the money doesn't matter as much

The batery in my M3 CS (Li-Ion like in the T) is now 5 years old, never connected it to a trickle charger and despite driving the car less than 1000 km/year, never had problems with it.
It gives me a warning when I don't move the car for 2-3 months but it starts the engine, so no worries.

"England", despite being in Europe too, is pretty different from the other countries. The closest to it, is rural Belgium.
What really makes Europe stand apart, is how little you need to drive to experience different language/customs/scenery and the amount of history still present, under various forms.

When I am visiting a "touristy" country, like France, Italy, etc...I like to play a game: guess where they are from. The Americans in Italy are sticking out like sore thumbsNope, us "Europeans" do not dress that way, even if we could actually.

I have my own love-hate relationship with Gentian, but man, this picture makes it ALL LOVE! The Agate works so well with it too. The mirrors really pop.

And of course, WING = SHWING!

Well, for a stretch they didn't have any other options when Jenson retired, but I think George and Lando (Calrissian) Norris have made some inroads there....

Haha. I do the same thing. In Seattle I like to pick out where someone might be from based on language, clothes, etc. I do the same when in Germany, Austria, Switzerland. I really thought it was funny in March when I was skiing in the Austrian Alps (Kitzbühel) and there was a guy complaining about all the tourists...but it was very clear he was from the Netherlands. I'm assuming he was complaining about Americans because that's often the thing to do.

I should note that when I mention buying a flat and moving to Europe eventually, it would almost certainly be in Germany. I've made it there every year or two for the past 35+ years or so to visit family and really enjoy how easy it is to get around, travel and live there.

@jbenegasi @AdamIsAdam I not-so-secretly regret not even considering Gentian. After seeing pictures, I think it's the color that coordinates the best with the Agate accents and I love how the color changes with the light. I simply love a Gentian T. I don't love the Agate on my black.

I wish I could say I love Gentian, but with THE BIG LIE (i.e., no PTS on the T) and me not wanting any grayscale or skittles colors, I was left with a "choice" of only one color.
