Congrats, you won the lottery. Combination of smart investing + married a sugar mommy (no shame in that, we all wished we did).

Just lucked out. It should have ended with me in jail back in the golden Sentra kfc fighting days.
Edit: that’s why I’m not used to any of this weird lifestyle. Should have been the Asian Jason in all right and fairness

ah so old school Honger money. Didn't know they were still many of those left in Van. This whole time I though she was a Mainlander the way you kept saying she was a Spy Balloon.
What made you buy GM at 1.25? did you have some kind of insider info?

Nah man. It was just an educated guess. It’s General Motors for Christ sake. There was no way they would have let such an institution fail. I think it went down to .30 cents at one point. I was ready to jump off the second narrows but held on.

It also helps that Badhobz doesn't have any kids so he doesn't need to worry about future generations - he's free to blow his money at the Costco food court.

Thank god for that. Can you imagine what a colossal asshole that kid would be ?!? My shitty work ethic, funded by old money and my lousy fat genetics ?!?
Holy shit. I should get a Nobel peace award for not procreating.

The goal is to die quickly and savagely.
Ideally, in a few years, you guys will read in your feeds that a 65-year-old fat Chinese man was found dead with 10 blonde hookers trying desperately to move him after he collapsed on top of one of them while sailing the Caribbean.
Police reported that the prostitutes tried to take off his gold watch and jewelry but got trapped underneath his girth. Also found on his vessel was a strange collection of kirkland clothing and memorabilia along with 100 costco hot dogs kept in the freezer.

How often do you guys do brake maintenance?
I drive like 5k a year since I work fully remote and the car is about to hit 3 years old (got it August 2022).
Mazda suggested I do it - front and rear brake maintenance (disassemble, inspect, clear and lubricate components).
My buddy did his at 4 years, but he started tracking last year so he redid all his brakes, lines and fluids.
Otherwise I've just been bringing it in for yearly oil changes and door/hinge lubrications.

I've never really heard of proactively disassembling the brakes just to clean & lubricate them. I only do this when I'm actually changing the rotors & pads, or there's otherwise an issue (sticking caliper, pulling to one side etc).
My Speed 3 is still on it's 16 year old rear pads & rotors (117,000kms), I've never touched them and they're fine.

Never.
My Mazdaspeed 3 had it's original rear pads from 2009 up until 2015 when I hit the track for the first time and swapped for something more aggressive for the rear. Kept the original rear rotor as it was still mint.
The front pads was original form 2009 up until 2014 when I needed new pads and got new rotors to go with it. Otherwise it was never taken apart.

Crazy how much the wokies hate Hogan...
Nobody is perfect. Getting caught on a hidden camera 20 years ago saying some racist shit... like 50% of all people on this planet have probably said things they probably regret in private, or things that sound bad but were just shit talk in the moment, especially maybe after a bunch of drinking.

Otherwise I've just been bringing it in for yearly oil changes and door/hinge lubrications. | I think it's enough just to monitor your pad wear (you might just ask them to do it, since even though it's a visual inspection without disassembly, it's kinda hard to stick your head behind the wheel to look at the rear pad yourself). That'll straight up tell you if your calipers are sticking or anything. Which totally could happen. But if you're just street driving this, maybe it's even fine to just rely on the squealing you'd start to get from them if there was premature wear.
Pads aren't *that* expensive that you'd be sad if they got ground down early (as opposed to tires: screwed up alignment that wipes out all your tread is expensive!), and it's not like you're going to suddenly lose your braking all of a sudden like you would on the track.

If you don't drive a lot i.e. 10k or less a year do you feel you can get away with dragging things out significantly longer?

I follow the schedule for coolant, because coolant can lose it's properties and become more corrosive over time.
My Mazda doesn't even show a replacement interval for transmission fluid (just gear oil) I just did it for the first time last year at 115k.
Brake fluid: I use a tester, if it fails (shows high moisture content) then I'll replace it.
My Mazda blew it's clutch slave back in 2013 at 60k, and since it shares the fluid reservoir with the brakes I effectively got my brake fluid flushed at that time lol, but even 12 years later it's testing clean.
For the F150 I had the dealership do a fluid replacement on the transmission at 95k when it went in for that programming recall where the 6R80's were apparently moneyshifting. Perfect timing.

If you don't drive a lot i.e. 10k or less a year do you feel you can get away with dragging things out significantly longer? | Engine oil, I keep it to a year on the M3 due to a ton of short trips which is high wear and also condensation issues.
The X5 being a plugin the engine actually rarely comes on. I'm debating stretching that out to two years since the engine itself does maybe 1000km a year while the EV part of the drivetrain does the rest.
Brake fluid intervals from manufacturer are usually quite generous at around 4 years. At even say $200 a change it's nothing. Granted I've only ever cooked my fluid once, it was on my parents Caravan, I picked it up from the mechanic and went to pick up my gf from work and went to have dinner. The new pads they put on has a scrubbing layer which generated a lot of heat and it cooked the old fluid and the pedal went to the ground. Took pumps to get the van to stop.
Diff/tranny - 4 years. Do it together with the brake fluid. I don't buy the lifetime fill BS. Just learned that the transfer case on the ZF8 is weak, the interval is 4 years but there's no guarantee it will last that long. Our X5 just got a new transfer case under warranty.

The entire transfer case? Isn’t that thing brand new? Lol
In regards to brakes I check them when I swap tires. Kind of impossible to tell wear if the rear pads even with the tire off, but I figure if the front pads are still health and nothing is grinding I’m ok.
With our G I have the “lifetime” transmission fluid however.. I have the full maintenance records back to the original owner and about 20,000 KM and funny enough, at 65,000 KM Nissan changed the fluid. I can’t tell if that’s when the car was traded back in to Infinity or if it was due to something else, but it’s kind of funny they replaced their own “lifetime” fluid on what appears to be a scheduled maintenance

^pretty sure all those Nissan techs have PTSD with those shitty CVTs and their shitty CVT fluid that they just change out your non CVT tranny fluid out of habit/fear.
Never trust any of those lifetime fluids or even modern day dealership intervals. I would say 7000km for oil or every 6 months. Brake fluid i do every 2 years and transmission/diff fluid i do every 5 years.
Most important is the oil. Modern day intervals are utterly horseshit especially when almost everything is turbo charged and thus even more susceptible to oil breaking down. Especially those German brands that advertise yearly oil change. Lawl, fuck you vw and your 25,000km oil changes.
