At 2000+ miles per month it does.

Yikes, what kinda stuff do you have to do to keep it running smoothly? Also, hows the P-01?

pretty much all her stuff, even random paperwork that could be scanned in. She's trying to punish me financially.

Gave the P-01 to my Dad to hold on to since between ordering it and getting it, she pulled a knife on me one night that resulted in me breaking my left ring finger tip. She was trying to hurt herself so that I'd be blamed.

I really need her out of here now.

I meant the m3, lol. But damn...you're talking about the Japanese chick? Holy shit. If I'm wrong it's because I don't follow your threads religiously like some trolls lol.

To make the M3 run smoothly at that mileage rate, you are looking at $600 in oil changes, a complete set of tires and another set of rears, a valve adjustment, filters, fluids and misc each year.

Which is why I've never liked BMW.

Bring money with.

Ouch, suddenly my 98 buick that I recently retired sounds like a dream lol. I only put a few grand into that car over the course of 5 years. If it was not for the rust killing everything under it it would still be running fine. But it got to a point where it was not worth putting any more money into it. My 2004 Alero has been running smooth so far. Love old cars, they don't cost much and still get me around fine.

Best way to find a freight broker is to ask the folks of that nationality living in your community. Here in Vegas there is brokers who charge per box. As long a normal human can lift it for transport, its good to go. My friend that owns a vintage clothing shop sends over boxes to JP all the time uses a local guy to take care of the leg work for him.

Another option is just sending them all individually. Over the course of a month.

The cost is the same though, I'd rather just stroke a check and be done with it.

Not many Japanese people in my area.

I guess your SOL then. Still maybe worth looking into if you want to save some coin. Might be a broker in So Cal that will handle it if you ship the boxes to him first. The brokers here in Vegas don't ship until they can fill the van then make the drive to LA or Oakland. Still its pretty cheap. $150 is the going rate here for a decent sized moving box to Asia. The ripple is the long wait time to receive the parcels. Could also just cut the check for airfreight and move on with life.

I thought you and the wife had an amicable break up, she had moved out, and everything was settled? Now suddenly she's trying to hurt herself and want's to cause you trouble?

It's like you live in a little soap opera world where good times turn to disaster in an instant, and drama is the norm. I'd feel pretty sorry for you if a believed a word you said.

You forgot the part where some new chick is trying to marry him as soon as possible.

no no, they are in love, it's different than anything you mere mortals could understand.

I think I can still rent this space out.

Epic and awesome indeed, this thread is. At this point, I think Anand should consider paying the OP for traffic generation.

I try not to think about that. She has children, Alky will become the step dad. Does anyone think this will be anything other than a disaster of biblical proportions? Those poor kids are going to carry the stigma of this fiasco with them for the rest of their lives.
