In another thread it came up that Luke seems to have a lot of misconceptions about how one acquires, maintains and pays for cars specifically in a business realm.

I don't think he's necessarily looking for advice on for example of what kind of personal car impresses "the wimminz" (He self-reports great success with his new Kia Sorento despite the off-putting off-gassing of all the various synthetic materials.)

He isn't exactly clear on the number of vehicles he needs to maintain but he has bragged about buying several Kia Souls, which is not a particularly bad choice since I don't know California prices but you can usually pick them up for about 14 Grand give or take. It doesn't sound like he's done the math though on what kind of mileage he's getting and what sort of Maintenance costs he might expect in the future. Especially concerning was that apparently he's financing these cars which just seems like throwing money down the rat hole.

I don't have any experience with leasing or so I don't really understand all the tax ramifications by wondering if he might not have been better off going that route if he was expanding beyond what his working capital would enable him to buy.

Does anyone with a little more experience on that subject care to chime in on what Luke ought to do about his future transportation needs. He hasn't really specified things like how many miles he racks up for how many boxes of copy paper he might need to transport at any given time and that sort of thing but it sure looks like he could use some help and I know there's some business owners here who could probably give him a lot better advice that I could.
 
Sage his interior?

Not a bad thought. Get rid of that toxic odor and the reminder of that precipitous first year depreciation.

Ouch!

Poor Luk.

But again I don't think that's really germane to what he needs at this point. He's already decided to get that to impress "the wimminz" so I think we just have to include that as part of his lifestyle cost and leave it at that.
 

I love Merle Haggard but not really germane to the discussion here. Have you been drinking?

Myself, I'm practically a teetotaler and very straight edge. Luke had to give up the bottle after those series of misfortunes and now reports that he has reached a healthy balance between his tweakends of meth with the "girlfriend" and his workday use of marijuana to help him mellow from his seething fits of rage.
 
Haven't you?

I'm going to sound like an alcoholic answering that because I actually know exactly when my last drink was it was the somewhere around the 15th of May of last year
 
I thought you recently stopped smoking?
 
Que wanted to use his car to drive for Uber but they turned him down.

Pesky requirement that all four doors be the same color and the 18 inch crack in the windshield was also against company policy.

Is this an inside joke I missed?

Dude, you've been posting pretty much around the clock for days now. Seriously, go to bed for 12 hours. The forum will still be here when you wake up. I promise.
 
Speaking of closets....I understand you've updated your will this year. You've asked that your remains be cremated, stored in a fruit jar, and hidden in the closet.

How appropriate!

I see what you did there. :cool:
 
Luke admits to creating attack alts, creates a fake smokin' hot girlfriend, and stalks a female poster to fuckndump and look who shows up to support him. :)

Que's tweakends now stretch from Thursday until Wednesday. :eek:

Always projection with you. How did you get the crack?

Sounds like somebody's been doing quite a bit of research. Not too happy with your retirement and your current earning structure in what should have been your Peak earning years?

I'm thinking and IT department head for Department of one can't possibly pay that much can it?
