I give them whatever the F they ask for. (which is gross). But that’s driven by their request.

if I’m trying to figure out what I’m comfortable paying, I look at net.

I don’t think you do understand. Why would I spend time adjusting the cost of every single expenditure and creating a new price that no one else uses when I could just adjust my income the one time?

even better, the price is therefore technically different for everyone now that it should be based on their income tax rate. Crap, my son who pays zero in federal taxes, gets his Modesta ceramic for $2,400, but it cost me $4,000!!!!

oh and retired people pulling from their ROTH also pay $2,400. Crap. This sucks

You finally explained it perfectly! Yes children and retired people pay less for ceramic coating... duh

Just have your 10 year old bring your 911 in to the detailer, I will do the same and we both will save a ton

BTW, while y'all were busy sniping each other I old schooled it this weekend and put some Jesscar Polish and Colinite 845 wax on our "new" 2020 BMW 430i convertible we bought Saturday. I 2 stage paint corrected it and spent all damn day Sunday from 5a to 8p working on it and had an absolute blast! It cost me (pre, post, or whatever) about $20 in materials since I had them already and about $4 in the 4 beers I swizzled down during the day. Neighbors thought I was nutzo being in the garage all day.

Yup, yup...it isn't ceramic mainly because I didn't want to spend $130 for the ceramic and EXO just to use it on one car and waste the other half of the bottles.

Anyway...cheers!

Local craft brewery IPA in a growler...it was their first attempt at a West Coast IPA.

Pretty small brewery, as far as brewing their own, so they have some work to do, however it was a bit plain in the taste department for a WC IPA.

Cmon over and I'll happily share my $1/beer with you.

Oh, you can still get Landshark and Corona for $1/beer as well if you find it on sale around here. Great pool/beach beer as well, so no, there's no PBR or Natty Light going on here.
