Default Mid-life crisis?

The 993 ticked over 50k on the ODO as my son and I were cruising over the Bay Bridge, top down, on the way to the A's game this afternoon.

Just thought I'd share.

You may now resume your normal activities.

200K shouldn't be a problem, so I'll give you "1/4 life crisis."

Can you get a beer for less than $8 at an As game?

50K = Mid-life? Geez, I hope not - or I'm living on 3K of borrowed time! I better get my affairs in order...

Your car has to worry more about acne than a midlife crisis, I'd say.

"Value Deck" seats are $12 with a $6 concession stand credit. (A 12 oz **** water American beer is $5.) And with a Pepsi can from the promotion, they knock $4 off of the $12. No problem moving closer to the action with only about 183 other fans at the typical weekday night game.............

Seemed like 20k at the game yesterday. It was so hot, we moved up to the shade.

Imported beers were $8.25. I had a Stella.

On the topic of resuming your normal activities, it is foggy and low 60s again in S.F. today.

Can you park a P-car safely anywhere near the Oakland ballpark? I thought it was in a rather rough neighborhood.

Note I mentioned weekday evening games. (Even those Wed day games with the $2 2nd deck promotion have managed about 15K/ea. through the summer.)

Define "near." Doubt there's a problem IN the stadium. Though the spaces are narrow. Our recent Canadian visitors (Hi, Tim and Doug) left theirs at the Days Inn just outside the stadium. But they were staying there. My house is 4 miles away. Fister's car was unmolested when we got back to my place after the game.

We just park in the BART lot, and walk across the bridge. Never a problem leaving my wife's BMW every day; that's where she commutes from.

Yeah, I knew what you were talking about. But if the Giants were in town, they would have had twice as many if the weather was that nice in S.F. A perfect weekend day and only 20k at the park, no wonder they're moving to San Jose.

BTW, if you want to sell those chestnut brown sport seats in the C4S (or even just post a pic so I can drool)....

Park near the stadium? No, we drove to a friends and the five of us went over in his GTi. But I do park there for Warrior games.

OK. Seats won't ever go anywhere the car doesn't. Buy the whole car; but after my "experience" in trying to sell the RSA cheaply, I'd say that I'd need to pay someone ~$30K to take the car off my hands.

Mind is working OT now ...buy your C4S, rob the seats, hand brake lever and shifter **** and substitute my stock chestnut stuff and flip the car. Hmmmmm.
